the girl who paid for a whole round of lattes in silence just to keep the cafe empty

saw this girl at the local coffee spot today. she literally looked like she hadn't slept in a week—oversized hoodie, absolute mess of hair, classic brooklyn sleep-deprived look. mr. kim (the local landlord, everyone knows him) walked in trying to corner someone about building repairs, but she didn't even look up from her laptop. she just pushed a stack of cash across the counter to the barista and told them to 'close the store to walk-ins for the next hour' so she could finish a video edit in peace. the barista actually did it?? she didn't say a single word to anyone. just went back to typing and drinking an iced latte like she owned the place.

does anyone know if she's actually a professional or just really rich?

the audacity to buy out a cafe to finish a project? icon behavior.

mr. kim is the absolute worst, i would pay good money to watch him get ignored like that too.

Reply to landlord_watcher: she usually just hides in her room, honestly surprised she's even out in public.

wonder if she's lonely? she looked so stressed.

she had headphones on the whole time. didn't even acknowledge the barista when they handed her the coffee.
