Thank everything, you are able to come home safely that day.

It is a relief that your mom was busy that she did not ask too much questions about your sudden disappearance.

After that day, you decided to cool down from your constant irritation towards Yangyang. And with your pride lowered, visiting his coffee shop and ordering by yourself without asking Renjun to do it had became an almost daily thing.

Occasionally, with Yujin and her friends, you visit his shop and explored every piece of his recipe.

All of those never failed you.

You never met Yangyang in his shop despite coming there often. It's a relief not having to bicker at him, but you genuinely wonder how could he handle doing those all by himself.

Sure there's a staff for cashier and servers, but those in the kitchen remained a mystery to you.

You just know Yangyang's one of them and it still a question how many are inside.

You can say that you are impressed with his stocks. There are numerous customers all the time and it was amazing. At his young age, he already achieved such big thing as this and you admit being astonished in that part.

Another day has ended. Almost like a tradition, both you and Yujin exchange glances after the class. But this time, she has a frown.

"What? You not available today?" You concluded by the way she stood awkwardly infront your desk.

"Well.. yup. I have to do some stuff today. I'm so--"

"Don't apologize! It's not like we are required to go to a cafè everyday," You patted her shoulders and laughed. "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Yeah, you take care on your way," Yujin hugged you quickly when you stood up and you both bid farewell.

You decided to stay in the library for an hour, checking few books to spend your vacant time. You waited for the last class to dismiss so you can have a clear pathway, since it was pretty crowded earlier.

Finally, just as you wished, there are only few students lounging around the school. You went straight at the Yangyang's shop, walking with your airpods in.

Good thing, you did not recognize anyone in the area. It will be awkward if you think about it.

As you opened your viber while sipping on your iced latte, you noticed a new message from your brother.

My best dude

You can't help but stress about what news dows he bring with him today. Everytime you talk to him, you felt compelled to act matured. You don't blame him though. As always, he is still your favourite and understands his practicality.

Sitting all alone with the white noise surrounding your ears, you start to contemplate your adulting decisions.

Will you be sensible being a cardiologist? Will your parents even be capable of helping you do it? Will your brother support you for it?

Here's another thing, no matter how much financial support you receive from him, you doubt if he can be consistent. Being a doctor takes a lot of years, and multiple investments both the family and the student should do.

Yet, this path isn't exactly what you want.

You have so many things you do not want to do, and even if you are studious, going to such process is tiring just to even think about.
