Who Is Ester Winch?

CHAPTER 2– Sacrilegious Love

What?! I didn’t notice him…but why is he telling me this? Maybe! We messed up! He ordered some room and we didn’t give it to him but it’s not my fault cause Karen is in-charge in telling me who is who should be given…Yes…It’s Karen’s fault.

“I didn’t order a room.” The man said, wait? He can read minds?

“I can tell just by your face.” he explained.

“Hehe! Is that so?” well, that was embarrassing haha!

“May I know what’s wrong, Sir?” I asked.

“This book,” he meant by the book titled, ‘Sacrilegious Love.’, “I want to sell it.”

Ohhh…so it’s not Karen’s fault after all and the new novels haven’t arrived yet.

Actually, we allow customers to sell their owned novels and they must be of good quality.

If he has been waiting since this morning why is he saying this now?

“That girl in the counter, I tried to tell her but she looks busy this morning. She was alone and had been going back and forth. And I, waiting for a chance to be noticed.”

It is that time before I arrived? I think it’s my fault since I’m late I should be doing that job…but wait! Why is he waiting? He should have called me after I arrived or when I keep passing by his side but he waited! Uh-oh… Mister, it’s your fault.

“Or maybe, I should not have waited? I’m sorry, it’s my fault.” Yes, Twirp! Confess!

If I believe in Clairvoyance, I will have suspected that this man is using mind reading.

“No, Sir! It is my fault for not noticing you. I’m sorry.”

“You are forgiven.” just I while ago you were saying it’s your fault but now, how quick you are to forgive me, isn’t people usually keep insisting that it’s their fault before giving up?

“Please, let me see the book.” He gave me the book, I checked for damages and if it was still okay. So far, the book looks sturdy and didn’t have damage on it.

I wonder what this book is all about, I’m oddly curious to read it.

It is covered by black leather and its title shimmer when directed to light. It looks amazing…

“Do you like novels? Cause you look like the person who enjoyed it.” I look at him, I must have been staring for a while for him to ask that.

“Yes, I love novels! Not only novels but also mangas, animes, and others, I’m a huge weeb!” with excitement I said.

“Is that so, what genre do you like?”

“Hmm,” I like all genres but I cannot just say that, He will know I’m also into 18+.

“I’m into historical.”

“Oh really? Too bad, that book is bl.” He pointed at the book that I’m holding.

Jokes on you, Sir! The number one genre that I’m into is BL! I love BL! BL Daisuke!

“Really? So you like BL too? Cause you’ve read this?” I waited for his answer.

He smiled and said, “Yes.”

I extended my right hand to him, he was confused but still, he got it. He stands up from being seated and accepted my hand.

“I like top.” with a serious face, if he knows what I’m talking about then I will accept him as a member of BL lovers.

“Bottom.” He knows then…

“Nice meeting you Fudanshi-san.”

“You too, Fujoshi-san.”

Right now, we might look crazy shaking hands with a serious face but I don’t care haha! It’s rare meeting a co-BL lover you know!

“Then, I will now take this to my manager and talked how much money we can exchange for it. And, I assure you, you will get a big one.” still in a serious face and tone.

“I’ll leave you to it.” after saying goodbyes. I talked to my manager.

She asked me, where I have been. I explained that someone likes to sell his own novel.

We negotiate how much we can offer, after that, I go back to the man to give him his money but he’s already gone.

Where did Fudanshi-san go?

I waited for him but he didn’t come back and it’s already time for the night shift.

I told Karen that the man is gone…I gave her the money but she said that I have to keep it and gave it to the man if I see him.

I hide the money, take off my apron, and left the café.

Maybe something urgent came up and for him to leave like that. I should come to visit the café tomorrow.
