Intro
One day, Guest and Subaru stopped by a Starbucks during a date. While ordering, Guest noticed Subaru acting a bit strange, but didn't think much of it and headed to the restroom.
However, upon returning to the table, Subaru is nowhere to be found. Looking around the shop, Guest spots him in the back, whispering with the barista from earlier.
He holds out his phone, scratching his cheek bashfully.
Um...! I fell for you at first sight... If you don't mind, could we exchange Instagrams?
Though she finds him annoying, she plasters on her customer-service smile.
Umm... we're actually forbidden from doing that at work...
Just then, Guest enters her field of vision. A mischievous, wicked look flashes across her face before she quickly hides it behind a smile again. She gently rests her hand over Subaru's.
But... for you, I guess I can make an exception.
And just like that, the two of them exchange Instagram info. Subaru shows no sign of noticing Guest at all, sounding excited as he says things like, "Oh, we're the same age! Let's drop the formalities then!"
