[googlefont="Herr Von Muellerhoff:400"][presto]  tagged: @kyujun notes: X Clothes: X[/presto] more than a shot in the dark Tap, tap, tap...
The soft tapping on the steering wheel as Subashini broke into a cold sweat, driving her companies van. A man she met about a week or two ago who often volunteered to help out at the bakery for a bit of money, Simon, sat next to her, staring longingly out the window, deep in thought. Her heart raced as she sped up. She was late in delivering, a good ten minutes late already. This morning her Pomeranian dog, Chauncey, had looked so cute this morning, and wanted to play so badly. Subashini couldn't resist his adorable eyes and gladly played with the small animal for a good thirty minutes, only to realize she'd wasted too much time and ended up late to work. Her co-worker, Casey, seemed to have it out for Subashini, and took this as the perfect opportunity to pick on her, calling her a lazy employee and too unfit for baking.
The thought made Subashini huff in anger. Simon overheard and looked over with a curious brow. The car ride had been silent, and chalk full of tension. Mainly emitting from Subashini herself, as she glowered in anger. Primarily, she was frightened. She had only just started work at the bakery, and could not lose this job. Having all ties with family cut off, she couldn't reach out to them for help, besides, it would hurt what pride she had left on the matter to ask for their assistance. It was giving up her resolve. She couldn't depend upon them any longer. Not only was she here in America to learn and dive deeper into baking, but to learn what it's like to live on her own. For too long she has been pampered by her parents.
Subashini looked over towards Simon with a sideways glance as they pulled to a stop. Would she be scolded by the employees of this store as well? She acknowledged how sensitive she was, and she was sure she'd start tearing up if she got told off by the manager here too. Quickly getting out of the car, she opened the back of the van and quickly, her and Simon unloaded the van. The young man looked at his watch before parting ways with Subashini, having done his small part. Her heart sank into her stomach. Was she making things seem bigger then they were?
Taking a deep, shaky breath, she wheeled in the pastries. made by ∆ ashycat of adoxography

 and i'd like to make myself believe ,THAT THE PLANET EARTH TURNS SLOWLY; IT'S HARD TO SAY.KyuJun was shuffling back and forth nervously, everything was ready for the open for the day except the pastries. THe pastries was one of the biggest things besides coffee and if they didn't have those they'd have a lot of angry customers. And he meant a lot. plus, a part of him didn't want to admit, the new girl at the bakery that made deliveries was pretty cute, though he rarely got to see her because he was so busy when he did open. As the door opened, he glanced up and could only smile. "Oh good!" He told her excitedly. "I was worried something bad happened." He added, a bit more shyly, his accent slipping out a bit as he looked to the empty pastry case. He went over to her. "Can I help with anything?" He asked, desperate to be noticed by her, but also determined to get to finishing opening before the store would be open. He thought of offering her a drink for the road, but he didn't even know if she drank coffee. His shift lead came out from the back room and let out a visible sigh of relief. Barely muttering an "oh thank god" before telling him to get the pastries where they belong and going back to the back room. "Do you want some coffee?" He asked after his shift lead was visibly gone. rather stay awake when i'm asleep ,BECAUSE MY DREAMS, THEY'RE ALL BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.tag; subashini words; 234 wearing; here credits; template by delilahh @ CAUTION!, lyrics to

and i'd like to make myself believe ,THAT THE PLANET EARTH TURNS SLOWLY; IT'S HARD TO SAY.KyuJun went over to her, immediately helping her carry the pastries in, almost before she had even officially asked for the help, bringing them near the pastry case. He double-checked inside all the boxes so he knew where to grab for when he had to hurriedly grab pastries to put them in their proper places before nodding and heading towards the espresso bar, his eyes watching the delivery girl and glancing down shyly if they met their gazes. Even if he didn't get to finish putting them out in the fifteen minutes he had left before opening, he'd most likely have a good thirty minutes of leeway time before they truly got their morning rush, so after putting all the boxes down, he began setting up for a drink on the bar, giving her a kind face, "do you like sweet or just strong?" He asked her, leaning on the top of the espresso machine lightly. rather stay awake when i'm asleep ,BECAUSE MY DREAMS, THEY'RE ALL BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.tag; lalalala words; 156 wearing; here credits; template by delilahh @ CAUTION!, lyrics to

[googlefont="Herr Von Muellerhoff:400"][presto] tagged: @kyujun notes: X Clothes: X[/presto] more than a shot in the dark Playing with the ends of her hair, Subashini looked thoughtful. Sweet..? She wasn't sure what to get, but judging how she already felt like dropping dead this early in the day was a sign she needed a real kick. Something to keep her alive, anything to keep her moving.
"Strong, please," She said softly as she peered into her wallet, digging in to it, already searching for the money she would need to pay for her beverage. Stiffling a yawn, she cursed herself for staying up so late last night watching her favorite romantic comedy movie, 'Band Baaja Baaraat," a movie that came out in India, a two hour flick. It wasn't a smart move on her part, mainly because she decided to pop in a two hour film at midnight. It was worth it.. She thought guiltily, frowning slightly.
Subashini took to exploring the cafe, absentmindedly touching the top of chairs, decorations and whatever else her searching hands could feel. Feeling like she probably looked a bit crazy, she returned back to the counter, biting the inside of her cheek. made by ∆ ashycat of adoxography

and i'd like to make myself believe ,THAT THE PLANET EARTH TURNS SLOWLY; IT'S HARD TO SAY.KyuJun nodded, going about making a simple latte. If he did everything just right... He smiled as the milk turned out perfect, and he was able to make a heart with the milk and espresso. He put a lid on the cup, looking to her, "Hey, what's your name, anyway?" He asked her with wide eyes. In reality, he was dead tired. He hadn't fallen asleep the night before, and by the time he was getting tired, he would've had about an hour's sleep at best. He got in and instantly put back three shots of espresso, and was running on fumes right now. But this girl, the delivery girl he admittedly would hide in the back from, gave him a renewed energy to the point he questioned if it would last his entire shift. He began drawing a picture on the cup's lid, simple, considering the size he was given, but sweet. A cup of coffee, and a girl somewhat reminiscent of the girl in front of him, and a space for her name. He had noticed her digging around for money earlier, and without looking up from his drawing, added in, "Don't worry, this one's on the house."rather stay awake when i'm asleep ,BECAUSE MY DREAMS, THEY'RE ALL BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.tag; lalalala words; 200 wearing; here credits; template by delilahh @ CAUTION!, lyrics to

[googlefont="Herr Von Muellerhoff:400"][presto] tagged: @kyujun notes: X Clothes: X[/presto] more than a shot in the dark As Subashini was filing through her purse, her fingertips grazed a buzzing white Samsung. A hint of a frown tugged at the corner of her lips, as she quickly checked who the text was from.
Casey.
For a passing second, Subashini was convinced she would throw up. She wasn't even given the chance to read over the text message when her phone started to buzz once more. This time, "Evil Manger" flashed across the screen. Casey was calling her. "Hmph.." Subashini said sharply, turning off the phone completely. Was a few minutes to just lay back too much to ask? She sighed at herself, knowing she was acting selfishly. She had been late to work, and yet she had the audacity to idly go about her business? A large piece of her knew she should be rushing out of here and racing past red lights to get back at a suitable time, yet something kept her grounded, wanting to steal any bit of time she could to be in the shop.
Subashini's head flew up as she was spoke to. Her name? Deciding to throw out her nickname, she responded, "Ash," Making her way back towards the man slowly, she peered back into her purse, biting her lower lip.
"Ah, I can pay!" Subashini said in a rushed manner while shaking her head, her eyes becoming wide and doe like. It simply wouldn't be right, after all the inconvenience, trouble, and overall worry she had caused this morning. The least she could do was pay for her beverage. He was being much too kind. made by ∆ ashycat of adoxography

and i'd like to make myself believe ,THAT THE PLANET EARTH TURNS SLOWLY; IT'S HARD TO SAY."No. No. No." KyuJun demanded, handing her the latte. He went around the counter and began putting the pastries into the case. "I get unlimited free drinks on shift, I'll just mark it out. It's bad enough to be late, your morning's already bad enough since we all have to wake up this early. Accept the latte." He told her, flashing her a suave smile. "I'm KyuJun, by the way." He added. He hesitated, putting pastries away as he mustered up the courage. "Y'know..." He began, letting out a hesitant breath, "My shift is over at noon, if you wanted to get lunch..?" He said, and as soon as he finished the question, the seconds seemed to tick by all too slow. rather stay awake when i'm asleep ,BECAUSE MY DREAMS, THEY'RE ALL BURSTING AT THE SEAMS.tag; lalalala words; 122 wearing; here credits; template by delilahh @ CAUTION!, lyrics to

[googlefont="Herr Von Muellerhoff:400"][presto] tagged: @kyujun notes: X Clothes: X[/presto] more than a shot in the dark Accepting the drink was by no means a cakewalk. Although it was insisted that she take it without paying, Subashini still felt as if she was cheating them. Snaking her fingertips around the cup, she gently grabbed at it, sending a small smile KyuJun's way. Watching as he went back to his work, she glanced down at the cup, warily eyeing the object as if it could attack her at any given moment. Deciding against hammering the latte straight away, she took to letting it sit for awhile. She'd stood awkwardly for a moment. Was it time for her to finally embark on her trip back to work? The profession she loved, the actual establishment? She loathed stepping foot within the building. Currently, Subashini found herself scavenging for a new position.
Subashini was saved from sinking deeper into her thoughts when KyuJun began to speak once more. Listening intently, she was rather surprised to find he was interested in going out for lunch together. In the midst of it all, her jaw had fallen slightly, which she proceeded to quickly snap shut. A sudden blast of butterflies came over Subashini. The young woman would never admit it, as she found the fact to be rather embarrassing, but she'd never been asked to do something with a man. Was he thinking in terms of a date? Pondering this, Subashini sat in what felt like eternal silence. Dismissing the previous notion, she came to the conclusion that he didn't want to eat alone.
"Sure! I'd like that.." Subashini said softly, only barely audible as she stared daggers at her cup, finding the simple task of looking up to suddenly be annoyingly difficult. Mentally, she prayed that she wasn't taking a red hue. made by ∆ ashycat of adoxography
