You and Jaehee had been friends for a while now, running your cafe together. You were closer to each other than anyone else, spending most of, if not nearly all of your time together.

One night, Jaehee asked you to come to the cafe area after closing. It was her turn taking the evening shift, so you had gone home to rest for a while. Despite the oddness of her request, you agreed. After all, you were not just friends, but business partners as well.

You opened the door, and Jaehee looked up at the chime of the bell attached to the top of the door.

"MC," she smiled. "Thank you for coming."

"No problem, Jaehee! What was it you wanted to say?"

You noticed her flush slightly, fidgeting with her fingers. She pushed her hair away from her face and exhaled.

"The truth is... MC, I really like you." She broke eye contact, lowering her head in embarrassment. "Not just as a friend, but... I was hoping you would like to become closer to me."

"Oh, Jaehee..." she shied away from you hand, reaching out to hold her shoulder.

"I'm sorry if you don't feel the same... Please, if you'd prefer, I will be content with remaining friends-"

"Jaehee, you misunderstand." In surprise, she straightened her back and her golden eyes looked up again, meeting yours in the silence of the empty cafe. "I would also like to... become more than friends, as you put it."

Her eyes widened. "You mean it?"

"Of course."

The brown-haired woman approached you slowly, afraid this was all just a dream she would soon have to wake up from.

"Then... I cannot deny myself any longer."

She leaned into you, and you held each other tight as you closed the gap between your lips. All her fears of an unreciprocated love dissipated with every moment you were connected, until at last you both broke free.

"Jaehee... I love you." Your voice was soft as you caught your breath after the kiss.
