A Flavor to Love

4-3

From that day on, whenever Daichi was coming to the cafe and coincided with Luna's shift, the, the girl always receives messages tucked away in each small, neatly folded piece of paper from the young master who always ends up in the trash. He wanted to feel angry and approached the man to ask what was the meaning behind the messages. But he held out for a job as a barista at this cafe considering he needed to increase his income even though he had been guaranteed a scholarship.

Hey, she's not a cheap girl who's easily glared at what the guy has. At this time he does not want to deal with any man except Kei-san, the owner of the cafe where he knows that the man has a sweet wife named Rena and a daughter named Ayumi as well as male employees who in fact highly uphold their professionalism. At least that's enough for him. But not for Daichi. He did not like the man, for some reason he saw the figure of his father behind the perfection of the young man. Just one man named Daniel Putranto has perfectly destroyed 18 years of his life. He didn't want to fall into the same hole!

"When else will you ignore the young master?" Ask Momo. "The other girls always bite their fingers every time they get a message for you."

"If they want, they can get close to the man, but not to me" Luna said in a cold, flat tone.

"Basic cold girl!" Momo Cibir.

"Thank you for the compliment, Momo-san, you are the umpteenth person who calls me that,” Luna smiled sarcastically while mixing the ingredients needed to make a green tea frappucino order from table number 3.

Meanwhile, Daichi, who was still busy struggling with his laptop and important documents next to him, was disturbed by the presence of a man sitting next to him.

"Didn't I always say that work is in the office, not hanging out for half a day at my cafe even every day. This is something that I think is a little abnormal for you Young Master."

"Kei..," Daichi looked up at Kei who had brought his order today, leafy latte art and a plate of chocolate muffins.

"Thank you, you know that my stomach is hungry."

"Together." Kei replied with a smile. "How's your job?"

"It's as smooth as ever." Daichi said as he looked back at his laptop.

"Luna, that's the name of the barista you've been bothering with lately since you confided in insignificance when my cafe hasn't opened yet."

"Hmm, so her name is Luna...., what's Kei's full name?" Daichi rubbed his chin with his right hand as if planning something.

"Daichi!" Kei who felt the ill will of his thickest friend began to give a red signal which meant a harsh ban for Daichi to approach Luna. "Didn't I have warned you before not to bother the girl?!"

"Ok-ok, I want to be honest that I'm interested in your barista." Daichi said still with his casual attitude.

"In what way? To add to your record as a playboy? Not this time Daichi, you can approach anyone but not him!"

"Hey, why do you care so much about your baristas? Don't you have an affair with her, huh?"

"About!" Kei tapped a report document onto Daichi's head quite loudly. "He's been considered my own brother! She's a nice girl whose culture is very different from ours so I feel like I should protect her from predators like you!"

Daichi only grimaced with the pain from the blow. "If I'm serious about the girl will you allow me to approach her?"

"People like you are serious? You're not eating wrong, are you?!"

"I've been eating your cafe's pastries, so you're responsible for the abnormality of my brain like you said it was." Daichi laughed crisply in response to Kei's serious-pitched satirical statement. Fuck Kei's ban. He was attracted to the girl named Luna. Yes, Luna has entered the radar of the target to be targeted and conquered by him.
