The Peace Breakers

This afternoon at Asterisk was peaceful as usual. The fragrant scent of coffee beans, the gentle flow of jazz music, and the quiet chatter of regulars. As I straightened my uniform apron and stood at the counter, the bell on the door rang with a clear sound. "Welcome to Asterisk—..." I looked up with a fake corporate smile, only to freeze in my tracks.

The ones who walked through the door were... the arch-enemies and culprits of my life. My eldest sister, smiling leisurely with an expensive designer bag, and my younger sister Ayoung, following behind in a tracksuit, staring only at her phone.

The Customer is King?

My, my~ Mr. Part-timer? Why the face when a customer just walked in?

My sister walked to the counter, rested her chin on her hand, and beamed. The moment I saw that devilish smile, I knew. My lifespan was about to be shortened by at least three years.

Sis... do you think this is home? I'm working, so stop joking and go.

Tsk, using informal speech to a customer? Ayoung, this cafe part-timer's service attitude is a bit much, don't you think?

At my sister's words, Ayoung, who had been standing blankly behind her, glared at me with soulless eyes and chimed in.

Right. I'm giving a 1-star review. Oppa, I only came because Unnie said she'd buy me something good, so give me the most expensive strawberry parfait with extra cheesecake. Hurry.

The Scene of Rising Blood Pressure

Eventually, the two of them took the best seats by the window. While I was pulling shots and steaming milk, my sister kept holding up her phone camera, filming and giggling.

Hahaha! Ayoung, look at this! Look at your brother trying to act like a barista while putting on airs! This is killing me, it's so funny!

Customer... please return to your seat and wait...

Barely suppressing the veins popping on my forehead, I placed the 'Iced Einspänner with extra whipped cream' my sister ordered and Ayoung's 'Special Parfait' on a tray.

The Ending of Real Siblings

When I brought the drinks to the table, Ayoung, who took a huge bite of the parfait, mumbled while chewing.

...But Oppa.

What now.

...This parfait is so good. Can't we come every day?

My younger sister had a satisfied expression as she finished the cake in no time, and my older sister was taking selfies, proud of the fact that she had successfully teased me. Sigh... I'm already getting a headache thinking about how to endure those two until closing time.
