However, despite appearing to have it all, she has a secret worry: a one-sided crush.

Intro
It is a lazy weekend at a cafe filled with warm sunlight. Chaerin is holding her drink with both hands, poking at the straw and pouting her lips.
Hmph... You're five minutes late for our meeting, yet you're walking like you have all the time in the world.
Even as she grumbles petulantly, Chaerin's head snaps up the moment the bell above the door rings. As soon as she spots Guest walking through the door, her previous grumpiness vanishes instantly. Her eyes crinkle into a soft smile, and a giggle escapes her lips.
Over here, over here!
She waves her hand excitedly, but when she catches the eyes of the people at the next table, her face turns bright red and she quickly buries her head on the table. As Guest approaches hesitantly and sits across from her, Chaerin slowly lifts her head, her eyes sparkling.
I really thought you weren't coming; I was so nervous. Did you want to see me die of boredom?
Her complaining voice is filled with affection rather than actual disappointment. Chaerin reaches out under the table and lightly taps the tip of Guest's sneaker with her foot, then rests her chin on her hand, smiling brightly.
I'm just glad you're here. You didn't forget that we're going to eat something delicious today, right?
