Chapter Text
Ali became a regular, appearing at the same time of day, every single time. He was first introduced to the cafe by Khai, said it has a good chill atmosphere. He also said that there's a certain waiter that caught his eye. Ali doesn't know who that was, but there's also someone who has caught the eyes of his, a cashier barista.
Rudy has very little motivation left to keep going. When a regular brings a new customer however he was intrigued. The new customer seems to not even like coffee which is funny considering they decided to go to a cafe like this. When it was his time to order, he was getting nervous and only said "I'll have coffee." You'd think he'd be annoyed, but no, Rudy laughed. "Are you sure?"
Khai felt guilty leaving the country, because the cafe would lose one of their top paying customers. So he got Ali to stand in his place instead. It worked way better than he could ever expect. Other than that he misses the pretty waiter so much. He started to learn sign language to be able to communicate with him. He realizes he never got the waiter's name, nor ever hear him talk. Plus with the headphone 24/7 on his ears, he thinks it'd be the best bet. He had to leave temporarily to go back to his hometown, for deeper background research for his game project.
Zass, the quiet waiter, has the duty to bring customers their orders. He doesn't like to socialize much because he feels as if he'd take away customers' precious time. But then this certain regular customer, started to try to converse with him. He signed "You're pretty" and smiled. Zass stood frozen, and signed "Thank you" afterwards. Scurrying to the back to hide his embarrassed face. During his break, he often goes online to chat or play a round with his online friend.
Viktor, a childhood best friend of Ali's would often hear about the cafe from him. He secretly visits the place to spy on his best friend's crush. Little does he know, an online friend of his, also works there. Not to mention his favorite game developer was a regular here.
They all coincidentally go to the same college, only majoring in different subjects.
Rudy is an art major, focusing on fashion and makeup.
Viktor is a social science major.
Zass is into psychology studies.
Khai is in computer engineering, so is Ali.
