The day dawns bright but cool.
The smoke has blown away for now. The fires rage on but here it’s calm and the sun pokes gently through dappled leaves on evergreen gums rather than searing through strange skies of orange haze.
I cook breakfast and hug a cup of fresh hot tea curled up on the couch while the dawn turns into morn and it’s time to face the day.
I shower and change and laziness loses to the sweet summer air, the cool welcome breeze.
I walk to the tram; racing across the road in the last few feet, red light blinking, to jump on as it slides to a stop, pauses, then slides off into Tuesday with me on board.
I hop off and step quickly into a cafe. Hot and bitter served by a barista hot and sweet.
He brings it to my table himself, his hipster glasses and professional indifference framing his Korean Indie singer look.
I take a sip and pull out my notebook, the minutes ticking down slowly till my bus leaves and I’m due at work.
I pull out a pen.
I write.
It feels normal.
It is normal.
I take a deep clean breath of air and think
Maybe I can
Love, February
A couple summers ago the fires here and other close states(as bad as they were not like the current devastation Australia is experiencing) went on for months. Months of just thick smoke overhead and then one fall day I was crossing the street to a coffee shop after work and looked up and there was this tiny bit of blue sky. I could of cried.
The embarrassing thing is I once did and posted it on discord. Hot Korean Indie Barista has been the subject of discord convos before, which is why I couldn’t resist putting him in this story. So, yeah, that exists. It’s not the best photo but the best I could do without being even more creepy and weird.

Is your barista’s name Han Kyul by any chance?

I don’t know his name but he doesn’t look like Gong Yoo, he looks like the lead singer of Nell. And he makes damn good coffee.

This sounds like the beginnings of a hot, sweet drama. Can you sneak a pic of Hot Indie Singer Barista?
