Here comes the sun

It was a cold start to January with subzero temps. Joon was in no mood to have to train somebody new at the coffee shop, but he knew he had to help out Lalah. After all, he'd stayed at her house a good long time himself.

Still, he wasn't so sure what to think about her nephew Cass. Joon figured he'd be a lazy bum, but he showed Joon soon enough that he liked people and he liked to clean up.

"I think he's got a nice smile," Natalie seemed a little too smitten with him. He didn't speak Korean, only English. Joon thought it best to keep it that way. Still, he couldn't see him lasting at the coffee shop. Didn't this guy have a degree in something?

Joon hadn't heard him talk about himself. Cass usually asked what needed to be done. And he did have a way with customers.

Joon was starting to think it would be great to have an extra hand around, especially if he got sick or just wanted a day off. Joon was only taking a couple of classes this semester.

He knew he needed to start thinking what he wanted to do with his life and not worry about his ex, Bom nor about soon to be parents, Ivy and Brian. He'd like to get away with Natalie, but it was winter. Just what could they do? Stay home and snuggle.
