Capítulo 9: meeting at the cafe
On the morning of a bright day, the autumn sun was gently sneaking through the glass of the windows, giving a soft warmth to the quiet cafe. Annie sat quietly, staring through the window, meditating people and carriages on the busy street, as if looking for something, or maybe someone. A young man with long brown hair barges over her shoulders, eyes holding a subtle gleam, a mixture of curiosity and sadness. In her hand is a cup of tea, she drinks it slowly, as if to drown in its taste and forget the world around her.
(You remember:, Akai appeared, stood by her table with a confident smile. He was wearing a neat coat and his gaze overflowing with something of mystery.
"You're beautiful, Annie," he whispered in a warm voice that made her feel like the only one in the world. "I promise, I'll never leave you."
Annie smiled lightly, and said to him as she looked at him with her wide eyes, "I now realized why I fell in love with you so quickly... You have a pure heart and an innocent face."
Akai laughed faintly and said jokingly, "Innocent ! And did you lose the memory "
Annie looked at him with a peek, and then she wanted seriously, "I know you're the director of the Intervention Units Organization, and the leader of the Big One global squad."
Akai pondered for a moment, then praised his face and said, "That's enough, let us not talk about it now. What do you think we should enjoy this morning here, far from any complications ")
Moments of silence passed, while Annie was looking back at the street. She felt like there was something disrupting her day's serenity, but it was hard to describe. She was taking in thought thoughtfully, marks of coldness smiling on her face.
Silence interrupted the waiter's voice, saying with a solemn smile, "Hello madam, what are you asking for "
Annie replied softly, "Chae, please."
Suddenly, someone entering from the door of the coffee shop caught her attention—it's Chae, a tall and slender young man, with attentive eyes and a hopeful glint, like he's been watching her for a while. He smiled, and walked towards her quickly, as if time stopped for a moment, as if the world around him was fading away.
"Welcome!" Chae said with a bright smile.
Annie looked at him in surprise and something tense, "You… ! What are you doing here "
He replied to her stoically, "Do you remember me, Miss I saw you as a coincidence, and I came to check on you."
Annie smiled hesitantly, and said tactfully, "Thank you. Would you like to sit down You'd rather."
Chae sat across from her, his features pulsing with vitality, while he looked at her with eyes filled with curiosity and warmth.
"I want to apologize for acting with you that day… I'm sorry." He said it with a faint voice filled with regret.
Annie smiled to ease the embarrassment, and said in a light tone, "It's okay, no need to apologize. Do you drink something "
Chae gently shook his head, saying, "No, thanks. But by the way, are you working or studying now "
Annie's expression changed, and she replied hesitantly, "I used to work at the box office at the train station, but… I was fired. I don't want to go into details, it's a bit embarrassing." I laughed shyly.
Chae laughed lightly and said, "I'm just like you. No work I have, just hanging out on the streets and enjoying life the way it is."
Annie asked him curiously, "Do you live close to here "
He answered her, "No, I'm staying at the lighthouse, a bit far away. I was exercising, but fate led me to meet you again, and for the third time."
Annie's eyes lit up excitedly and said, "Do you exercise ! It's my favorite hobby! What do you think that we challenge each other in a race "
Chae smiled defiantly and said, "Okay! If you win, dinner is on me, and if I win, it'll be dinner on you."
Annie laughed, her features took a playful childhood stamp, and said, "I'll smash your feet today!"
They left the cafe laughing, and started running down the street like children, running joyfully and shooting laughs
