childhood nightmares

If there was one thing Sooyoung loved above all, it was coffee. She lived on coffee, what with her sometimes crazy schedules of late nights and early mornings. Even on the days she did nothing, she had coffee. It wasn’t only that it woke her up, it was simply a part of her life now. Going without coffee was like going out to the street naked. Okay, maybe not so much, but the case is Sooyoung really, really liked coffee. It was no surprise, then, that she knew just about every single coffee shop in Seoul. She had her favourites, of course, and she tended to prefer the small, quaint, out of the way ones, where she was pretty certain no one would recognize her and, therefore, she could spend long hours there enjoying her coffee.
Today was one of the rare day offs she had had in a while, what with the crazy filming schedule for the movie she was currently working on. A weekday too, which meant the streets of Seoul would be quiet as most people would be working. After having a thorough ballet lesson early in the morning, she had decided some coffee was necessary (more coffee, as she had already had her first share before her lesson).
And so now, hair still up in a bun, she was on her way to a little coffee shop in Hongdae, near the ballet studio. She frequented this shop after her ballet lessons, and although the staff didn’t -yet- know her order, they did recognize her as a frequent client –not as an actress, thank god.
She entered the coffee shop and went straight to the bar, ordering a caramel macchiato and a chocolate pastry. As she waited for her order, she looked around the almost empty coffee shop, a soft smile on her face. It didn’t stay there for long, her mouth turning downwards quickly as she saw a familiar face. After taking her order from the waitress with a smile, she made her way towards the table where the older boy was sitting. “Hey, Jaemin?” She asked with a practiced nice smile. “I’m Sooyoung, remember me? We used to play together when we were little.” She said with the nicest tone she could muster –which was a really nice one, to be honest; she was an actress for a reason.
