   The bustling of the café enveloped the small bubble, the warmer tone of amber gliding through the large glass windows into the active life. Individuals enraptured by their newspaper, work meetings, school assignments and coffee dates carried on in exuberance as the raven called out to her latest customer.

       “Miss Seo-ah? Your caramel latte,” she rang with a smile, genuine in all of its creases. 

   A small nod whispered good day as she turned to clean the kitchen appliances, wiping the steamers and storing away any open messes. 

   It was the afternoon jingle of the front door chime that caught her attention, alerting the barista to attend to the till. Raising her eyes from the countertop to her newest customer, a halo of the sunset’s redness engulfed the male before her. Caught off-guard, she stammered, eyes focussing to the foreground that was him.

     “Ah, h-hi there. What would be your order?”

                            How embarrassing...

    As gentle warmth beset the city of Seoul, the soft tinkle of the entrance chime welcomed the graduate into the coffee-fragranced home. Untouched wood waited patiently for the sun to run its fingers through its gains... crisp was the early morning atmosphere. A melancholic, soundless melody danced around the room as she softly found her way to the rear of the café, the second one to arrive.

                 “Good morning,” Joy calmly greeted, not wanting to disturb the quiet. With uncharacteristic gentle movements, she relieved herself of her coat and wrapped her apron around her waist in preparation for the day.

   Rising through expanding floors and floors of the C&R building, an awe-inspired gasp fell between Joy’s teeth.                Wow. This place is incredible...

   An order for delivery arrived early at the café that morning entailing specific details and directions for an allotted time. Excited to bring delicious drinks to others, Joy volunteered for the task, grateful that such an uncommon experience became hers.

    The lift doors parted with a ding, tentative and controlled steps carrying her out into the open, on the correct floor, seeking an individual known as Jaehee.

    Evidently dressed in a uniform, waiting in the designated post that had been detailed on the notes of the paperwork, Joy patiently observed the workers with a customer service smile.

   Candid imagery summoned around the youth as quiet steps carried her around the night-scape; city lights flickering, taunting and teasing. Absorbed in her personal imagination, the environment’s pointless efforts to touch her were left unfounded. The soft, blue-hued, artificial fluorescence glowed in the distance, gesturing towards the destined convenience store. Had it always been so lacklustre in its existence? It felt so far away. 

   Enraptured by her personal space, her subconscious, she hadn’t paid any attention to others on the same pavement.          A bubble burst as her face smothered into a chest, reactionary speeds slow and recoiling to a stunned demeanour. 

          “Uh- I’m so sorry!” She apologised clumsily, unimpressed with herself as she looked up at the other individual.
