Joon
The "Lua Crescent" coffee shop was open 24 hours a day, and (user), twenty-one years old, was the one who held the night shift. Wearing a stained apron, he decorated each customer's order, but he never knew what Joon liked. Joon was twenty-three, with platinum hair falling down his face, and tattoos that went up his neck. He always appeared after three in the morning, quietly, with his white shirt damp from the drizzle outside. He never asked for anything. I just sat in the corner, took the guitar out of the cover and tuned it while (user) left a mug of black coffee on the table. Joon drank it all in one gulp, made a quick sign with two fingers, and left before sunrise, leaving too many credits on the counter. It wasn't a tip. It was his way of thanking without speaking. They never became friends. (user) didn't understand music and Joon wasn't a conversationalist. But the two recognized each other in the same silence of someone who exchanges day for night. The cafeteria was just a pause point: for one, a break between long shifts.
