Chapter 24
Perhaps Love
Minzy and Sunghwan already went home. Anne and Sehun were the ones washing the dishes after the dinner party. Chanyeol was so eager to talk to Anne. She was acting cold to Chanyeol for the past few days.
Marie, Kai, Kyungsoo and Baekhyun were at the living room watching TV sitting at the same couch together while Suho was cleaning up the table.
Chanyeol approached Anne.
“Anne, can we talk?”, asked Chanyeol
Anne didn’t bother to say a word as she continued washing the dishes. Sehun noticed Anne didn’t want to talk.
“She’s busy Hyung. Can’t you see.”, said Sehun
“Anne, please talk to me.”, pleaded Chanyeol
“Aigoo.. Hyung! Seriously! She’s still washing the dishes!”, exclaimed Sehun
“Shut up Sehun! Anne? Can we?”, said Chanyeol
“Yah! Hyung! It looks like she doesn’t want to talk to you anyway!”, exclaimed Sehun
Chanyeol was agitated.
“Stop interfering you brat!”, said Chanyeol
“No! You’re the one who should stop interfering! You’re always the one who interferes from us!”, said Sehun
The rest drew their attention to Sehun and Chanyeol who were already raising their voice at each other. Suho who was near them was starting to get nervous.
“Shut up you brat!”, said Chanyeol as he pushed Sehun away
“No! You should be the one to shut up Hyung!!!”, said Sehun as he pushed back Chanyeol
The two started to get physical.
“Will you two just stop!”, exclaimed Anne
The two fell silent. The rest also fell silent worried at how they were fighting.
“What is happening…?”, whispered Baekhyun
“Keep quiet, Hyung…”, said Marie as she covers Baekhyun’s mouth using her hand
“Fine! I’ll talk to you!”, said Anne as she went upstairs. Chanyeol glared at Sehun as he followed Anne upstairs.
“What now??”, exclaimed Anne
Chanyeol sighed as he said, “You were so cold to me the past few days… What is wrong with you? Did I do something wrong?”,
Suddenly, Anne had a flashback of how Chanyeol introduced her to his ex-girlfriend and how Chanyeol didn’t introduce Yunhee to her as his ex-girlfriend. She was also reminded of how happy Chanyeol was when he was with Yunhee that time.
Anne’s eyes were becoming teary. She sighed as he looked at Chanyeol whose face was real sad and real worried.
Anne couldn’t take Chanyeol’s sad face so she told him,” Nothing’s wrong. I was just exhausted the past few days. That’s all.”,
Chanyeol knew there was still something wrong. Anne tried to fake a smile to make Chanyeol believe everything was fine but Chanyeol knows everytime Anne will lie. Anne went downstairs. Everyone looked at Anne as she went down.
“Anne! You okay?”, asked Marie worriedly
“I’m fine.”, said Anne as she faked a smile
Marie also knew something was going on. Chanyeol who was still upstairs was still so confused and worried. He was thinking yes, they may be fine now but he was still bothered because he just knows something’s still not right.

Anne and Marie were back to Minzy’s place.
“it’s good to be back here!”, said Marie
“Wouldn’t you be missing Kyungsoo?”, asked Anne teasingly
When Marie heard Kyungsoo her heartbeat grew faster.
“Are you alright?”, asked Anne
“I-I-I’m… fine”, stuttered Marie as she ran to their room
“That weird kid!”, said Anne
In the afternoon, the girls started to help out at the Café. They even had their cute uniforms. Anne was the one at the counter while Marie tried to be a server.
“Annyeong Noona! I’ve been really excited to work with these two.”, said Junho
“Oppa, are you really excited to work with us two or just with Marie?”, asked Anne teasingly
“Yah!!!”, exclaimed Marie
Junho scratched the back of his head as he blushed.
“Aigooo… I have to go now kids! Still have work to do. Girls, if you wanted to go home you already know the way right?”, asked Minzy
“We’ll ride a taxi, right?”, asked Marie
“Yah! You idiot! It’s just a walking distance!”, exclaimed Anne
“Haha! I know I know! I was just joking Ms. So good with directions!”, said Marie
Minzy left. The girls started to get busy as more customers were coming. It was almost 10 in the evening. It was already near the closing time. There were only two tables that were occupied. Anne and Marie were exhausted but they really had fun on their first day.
Anne, Marie and Junho occupied a table.
“Aigoo! That was exhausting but so fun! I just love doing this!”, said Anne
“Yeah! I agree on that but I’m so sleepy.. And so hungry!”, said Marie cutely
“Aigoooo! Yes yes little cutie! I’ll buy you food!”, said Junho as he was pinching Marie’s cheek
Marie was pouting as Junho kept pinching her cheeks. Anne and the few baristas were thinking how Junho and Marie we’re acting cutely to each other. Suddenly, someone just entered the shop. Anne stood up to greet the customer. Suddenly, she was so surprised to see it was Kai. Kai froze as he saw Junho playing with Marie’s cheeks.
“Oh…K-Kai…”, said Marie
Marie suddenly drew her attention to Kai. She was surprised. She immediately removed Junho’s hands from her cheek as she stood up.
She said,”K-K-Kai…”
“Annyeong…”, said Kai while looking at Marie
Junho suddenly noticed Marie stuttering.
“What brings you here?”, asked Anne
“Well, I came to see Marie.” , said Kai weakly
“Oh…”, said Marie
“You two talk, Kai, you want something?”, asked Junho
“Ah, no thanks. It’s okay.”, said Kai
Marie and Kai occupied a table away from them. Junho kept at glancing at Marie and Kai.
“What is it about?”, asked Marie
“Well, the movie.”, said Kai
“Oh! The movie..”, said Marie
“Can we watch it tomorrow?”, asked Kai
“Oh, sure… in the morning?”, asked Marie
“Yup. Err.. I also came here for another reason. Sunghwan Hyung asked me to invite you guys tomorrow for a party together with our friends.”, said Kai
“Oh, so we’re still going to watch the movie tomorrow? Shouldn’t you be preparing for the party?”, asked Marie
“No.. No.. It’s okay. After we watch the movie, let’s just go to the party together. If that’s alright with you.”, said Kai
“Okay.. Whatever you want is fine. See you tomorrow then.”, said Marie as she smiled
“Oh.. By the way, I saw you and Junho Hyung were getting closer.”, said Kai
“Huh? Ah No! No! No .. It-It.. was nothing.”, said Marie as she blushed
“I hope so it was nothing. ‘Cause I actually hate seeing you with him”, said Kai straightforwardly
Marie was speechless. She didn’t know what to think. She was confused why Kai said those things seriously
“Well, I have to go. See you tomorrow at eight then. I’ll just send you an sms.”, said Kai as he stood up
Marie who was still speechless also stood up.
“Anne! Hyung! I’ll get going now.”, said Kai
“Oh, okay. Take care!”, said Anne
“Bye!”, said Junho who gave Kai a looked
Kai left. Marie was still speechless standing there.
“What did he tell you?”, asked Anne
“Err.. Err.. Tomorrow, they invited us for a party. Dinner party. Sunghwan Hyung and Minzy will be there. I think Minzy will just fetch you.”, said Marie
“Fetch me? Ah, why? Why only me?”, asked Anne
“Well, Kai and I will be watching a movie tomorrow morning. Then he said we’ll just go to the party together.”, said Marie
“OOOhhh.. The movie date.”, said Anne teasingly
“Y-y-yahh! It’s not a date!”, said Marie
Anne just giggled while Junho was so quiet thinking about Marie going with Kai for a movie. The girls started to close the store together with Junho.
