Chapter:1(If)

Book name: Can't you love me?

If I could remove 'If' from my life....

This will be a short story. And this is not a Y/N story.

...In the story: ...

In a small town of South Korea, a girl is surrounded by many different kinds of flowers. The aroma of flowers filled every corner of the shop.

After she took the scent of various flowers, she took some 'stargazer' lilies and wrapped them with transparent plastic.

She checked the time on her smartwatch and immediately started running.

She was running through a garden full of greenery and trees with magnificent flora.

On her way she noticed her untied shoelace so she put her flowers on a bench and started to tie it up.

The girl was wearing a blue hoodie and a simple pair of jeans.

Her hair was a wedge hairstyle. Her short hair flowed with the wind lightly.

After tying her shoelace she ran and stood in front of a small but delightful cafe which spread with sweet smell of pastries and strong scent of coffee.

That girl entered the cafe and saw a very handsome boy talking to many girls with a charming smile and serving coffee. No wonder this cafe was so famous.

His coffee is indeed delicious and so is the food, but the anyone could tell that the girls were more excited about the barista than the food or coffee.

The barista is also the owner of the cafe.

His smile pierces through his female customer's hearts.

The panting girl stood in front of him with big steps and the flowers in her hand.

The girl: Sorry I'm late.

The barista looked at the clock.

Barista with a cheeky smile: You are a bit late so should I pay you less?

The girl: No way! Give me the money and I'll leave.

Barista: Before you go, could you arrange the flowers on the tables, I've got many customers to deal with.

The girl: Ok but you'll have to pay me more.

The barista with a grin: We will see about that later!

She was arranging the flowers into different small vases for the tables.

The barista kept looking her with eyes of adoration from time to time. A radiant smile appeared on his face while looking at her who is busy working with lilies.

The girl: I'm done!

Barista: Wait here. I'll give you my special sugar free cappuccino and your favorite butter croissant for you.

The girl sat down in a seat.

The girl: Thanks for this but I'm not lowering the price of the flowers.

After some time the barista served her the food and coffee.

The barista was watching from the counter to see her reaction but the girl had already stirred the coffee around.

This brought a look of disappointment on the batista's face.

After eating the girl asked for her payment.

Barista while teasing the girl: This is how much this costs?!!

The girl: I brought the best flowers for your cafe! Hurry up and give the money. I have to go and open the shop.

The girl, while returning to her shop sat on a bench in the garden.

The girl with a gloomy look: It has been 14 times that I have pretended to unsee the love design on the coffees. I know this is your way to propose to me. By the way you look at me, I know that you like me. I think multiple times, should I give you a chance? But every time I think of this, I think of his face.

The girl let out a sad sigh.

The girl saw that the barista came outside to throw the garbage out. He waved at her cheerfully. She waved at him back.

The girl mumbled while looking at the barista: Why do I still feel like this story isn't ours? Why does my heart still...

The girl touched her heart.

The girl: Yeah, my stupid heart. This all happened because of my stupid heart. If those things hadn't happened..then would we have lived differently?

Yeah 'If'....If I could remove 'If' from our lives....

The girl was thinking of something in her past.

She was standing in front of a man under heavy rainfall with her tearful eyes.

The girl while crying: Can't you love me?

Present time:

The barista was looking at her from far who is busy thinking something deeply.

Barista: You didn't look at the coffee, again. I want to make our relationship more than friendship, but there's someone in between us.

A sadness popped up in his face.

Barista: If he wasn't between us, would our relationship had been different? If our meeting didn't happen like this, then would you have liked me instead of him?

Yeah the word 'if' is in between us, if only I could remove 'if' from our lives.

Can't you love me?

Somewhere in Seoul, a man was standing in his balcony and thought of some things in his past.

He thought of the scene where a girl stood under the rain and said "Can't you love me?"

Tears rolled down his eyes.

The man: If I hadn't done the stupidity that I did then..our story would've been different now. Maybe if I hadn't had let go off your hand then, your hand would've been on mine now. If I wasn't confused then..

.... yeah ....there is 'if' in everything, if only I could remove it. Now I want to ask you..

...Can't you love me?
