Coffee Lover - 5

Jeong Hyeok was surprised to find out that Se-ri was Yoon Se-jun's sister. It was an awkward situation. While he ran that coffee shop, the Yoons owned the franchise and Jeong Hyeok was still subject to some control by the head office, which is why he called Se-jun his boss.

It was awkward, it might not be appropriate and it might not be accepted by her family.

First things first, "Mr. Se-jun, it's quite late to drop by, isn't it? I hope it's nothing serious."

Yoon Se-jun smiled. "No, no. I was just in the neighbourhood and my other meeting ran long. I was hoping this branch would have one of our famous teas?"

"Sure. Let me get one for you," Jeong Hyeok offered.

When Jeong Hyeok disappeared inside, Se-ri swatted her brother. "Talk about horrible timing! Why are you here really?"

Se-jun chuckled. "I just wanted tea! I'm sorry to break up your date."

"It's not a date," Se-ri said, defensively. When her brother said nothing, she slowly added, "So... you know him?"

"Jeong Hyeok? Yes, for quite sometime now. He's good at managing this that's why we gave him a number of licenses already," Se-jun informed her. "You know that we don't offer that much to others."

"So, this is okay?" Se-ri asked, alluding to her seeing Jeong Hyeok.

"So, you ARE dating him?" Se-jun clarified.

Se-ri blushed. "Not really. We just met... but I am interested."

Se-jun looked to the heavens. "Oh my lord! My baby sister is finally considering being in love! What a miracle."

"Shut up, Se-jun."

Sitting beside her, Se-jun continued, "You won't have trouble with me. But, Father might be a different issue. You know that he's wanted you to marry that chaebol's son for a long time now."

Se-ri pouted. "I know. I'll speak to Father when there is something to tell."

Se-jun chuckled. "Okay. So for now, I have to pretend to give Jeong Hyeok a difficult time."

"Hey! Be nice to him. You're already making him get your coffee," Se-ri reprimanded.

"He offered!"

As the siblings bickered outside, Jeong Hyeok nervously prepared the order at the bar. "How many portions of this again?"

His assistant manager, Pyo Chi Su, gave him a look of disbelief. "How do you not know? You've memorized all of our offerings here."

"It's just... it's for the boss, you know?" Jeong Hyeok responded.

"The boss who has been here before," Chi Su noted.

Park Gwang Beom elbowed him. "Give him a break. That woman he's had a crush on is there, too. Probably why he's out of sorts."

"She's the sister of the boss," Jeong Hyeok muttered.

The eyes of both men widened. "Noooo! Wow. The one time you put moves on a customer and she's the boss's sister."

Jeong Hyeok frowned at Gwang Beom's comment but said nothing. He left them to head out again. When he handed the cup to Se-jun, he said, "Sorry it took longer than expected. There were other orders I helped out with."

"No problem," Se-jun said, thanking him. "There's still significant foot traffic here at this time."

"Yes, we do quite well with the people residing in this area. They pass by on their way home from work," Jeong Hyeok shared.
