今天是一個微熱的冬天。太陽的光線很和暖,暖得灑在皮膚上顯得有點微燙。剛剛踏入這cafe的人,是一個曬成小麥膚色、挷著馬尾、素顏的年輕女生,她穿著薄薄的白色毛衣和格子百摺裙。353Please respect copyright.PENANADSNS7WkfPH
353Please respect copyright.PENANAb5kbKU226N
353Please respect copyright.PENANAhknFjU3cUQ
她是屬於夏季的,氣息飄散著青春,但眼神帶點神秘,像是一片寧靜讓人無法探究的藍海。353Please respect copyright.PENANAyxlk1ropG8
353Please respect copyright.PENANAofz7CFp07q
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkRzWSW6W3s
cafe的女主人——家敏是這樣猜想這位今天第一個踏入的客人。353Please respect copyright.PENANAAaAOXM5cym
353Please respect copyright.PENANAzIH0AhXMQA
353Please respect copyright.PENANAe0rynXj7Aw
這女生叫阿初。353Please respect copyright.PENANAIvdlBThrpZ
353Please respect copyright.PENANArP2OKrWwmX
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfJJqqk6fEX
「HI!你好。」阿初爽快地和家敏打招呼,露出潔白的牙齒。353Please respect copyright.PENANAPN57xXZoy3
353Please respect copyright.PENANAUmUvbMTOM7
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsjzRAqfShW
「HI!想點些什麼嗎?」說畢,家敏覺得自己有點笨笨的,客人才剛踏進,餐牌都還沒看,怎會知道自己想要什麼。353Please respect copyright.PENANAwp4hwbJYFr
353Please respect copyright.PENANAq0HSpqEMh8
353Please respect copyright.PENANAbt2SXibREI
「我先看看餐牌。」阿初笑笑,轉身徑自放下紅色背包坐下。353Please respect copyright.PENANAN0MLtJhunA
353Please respect copyright.PENANAaJbYeWXAoQ
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsCp791sMje
阿初最後點了一杯冰玫瑰梳打,就這樣靜靜地發呆。cafe播放著輕快的JAZZ音樂。353Please respect copyright.PENANAAYrn5oF1K4
353Please respect copyright.PENANARVFnRz7Bz6
353Please respect copyright.PENANA7yHT40G2NY
阿初是大學四年級的媒體系學生,今學期她想製作一個以咖啡店為主題的故事短片。其實她還沒有什麼想法,她還在尋找靈感的階段。353Please respect copyright.PENANAgnJeCM1Be7
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJcuQwCKGhM
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQPzqxCpuIE
不知不覺,阿初在心中幻想她是這間cafe的老闆娘。她就這樣站在櫃檯的位置,每一天都被動看著形形色色的客人人來人往,雖然她是老闆,卻無法控制、預料進來的客人會是誰,可能會有可愛的人,或是態度差勁的消費者。她不會了解到有什麼人會闖進自己的空間裡。353Please respect copyright.PENANAtFy68E7073
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGOBlUmpRfa
353Please respect copyright.PENANAW5p6Wln5RU
就在這時,有一個穿著黑毛衣的女生走了進來。她一進來就對著家敏臭臉,怒氣沖沖地點了外賣烤三文治,馬上又別過臉生氣地來背對著家敏。353Please respect copyright.PENANACVpv8nskMV
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXjYAdAhp0N
353Please respect copyright.PENANAopQS99kgsL
阿初覺得這女生好奇怪,好矛盾,好可笑。353Please respect copyright.PENANAieWyhWvfnj
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQeHKaU8sLI
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGEPDtWQObk
但家敏從頭到尾都只維持平靜的臉,一副無所謂的模樣。353Please respect copyright.PENANAU0GNZaU60Y
353Please respect copyright.PENANAe8dHmmWgoS
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlvGvHfrOFv
阿初思緒飛快地抽離目前的境況,她幻想著,如果剛才她是這位老闆,她看到自己踏進來的一刻,她會覺得自己是一個怎麼樣的客人?353Please respect copyright.PENANAChbdjvySfF
她走出cafe後,這位老闆會對自己留有印象嗎?353Please respect copyright.PENANAXD5j5reN0q
353Please respect copyright.PENANARwKggM3ZFf
353Please respect copyright.PENANAbD53Cr9qJz
她這個人對於這間cafe來說,只是一個來歷不明的陌生人,只有她知道自己是誰而已。353Please respect copyright.PENANA7StarYY7oJ
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHzHcX0vnqC
353Please respect copyright.PENANAEV36m63IVB
隨著客人離去打開店門發出的鈴鐺聲,阿初返回現實空間裡,而臭臉的客人已不在。353Please respect copyright.PENANACDw4Uq0eEp
353Please respect copyright.PENANA4g1hz5gmAK
353Please respect copyright.PENANA1r6ldMmYMM
阿初低頭望一下手錶,她知道自己上課快遲到了,她飛快地結帳離開,也留下一串鈴鐺聲。353Please respect copyright.PENANAwMNmLMx17a

第二天,阿初選了另一間cafe光顧。這是她特意上網花時間搜尋的,她看到這間cafe有好多好評,而且還有蠻多雜誌刊登過它的報道,既然她拿不定主意,就交給他人的意見幫她抉擇。353Please respect copyright.PENANA12M8jyQzwQ
353Please respect copyright.PENANASgKwhuJibB
353Please respect copyright.PENANAR5mFggY8IW
這間cafe以黑白為主要色調,感覺較冰冷,對比的顏色具有張力,待在這裡,阿初覺得整個人不太自在,不像Soulmate cafe以木製桌椅為主,桌上也放著小植物,阿初較喜歡木頭那種令人心境平和的感覺。353Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2DOjuxwON
353Please respect copyright.PENANAj44nfwXuOV
353Please respect copyright.PENANAKK1T7OTOLT
阿初不自覺把兩間cafe比較起來。其實兩間cafe都各有特色,沒有誰比誰好,只有合不合適自己罷了。353Please respect copyright.PENANABGhyPTHRI2
353Please respect copyright.PENANAiRkqidVO1E
353Please respect copyright.PENANAJQxz2XkqDZ
她只知道她不喜歡這間黑白cafe。那到底她想尋找一間怎麼樣的cafe作為功課的靈感呢?她好像還是不太清楚。353Please respect copyright.PENANAEiUBYa5VY2

353Please respect copyright.PENANAUkbvBBIySh
第三天,阿初來到一間也是以木頭裝潢為主的cafe,水吧檯旁邊放了好多粉色系的花草,地上鋪滿不同印花的階磚,椅子上也掛上天藍色的格子布作裝飾,感覺跟Soulmate cafe有一點點像,卻多了好多少女風的氛圍。353Please respect copyright.PENANAxrRlKlzH0v
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwy0zlhNfm9
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdpszb40eN2
這裡連餐飲也只有玫瑰口味的飲料,阿初又是點了一杯冰玫瑰梳打,喝時也想起Soulmate cafe來。353Please respect copyright.PENANABYkJoJLhzr
353Please respect copyright.PENANAXIeFEY2jMu
353Please respect copyright.PENANA12WCfziciY
這cafe的老闆是個中年男人,樣子蠻帥的,但身形粗獷,穿著簡單的黑色上衣與破洞牛仔褲,行為舉止也很大刺刺的,與這間店的氣質不太相符。353Please respect copyright.PENANAOCmEEtnRSd
353Please respect copyright.PENANA54GiZc8TtA
353Please respect copyright.PENANAsopjnKvqsV
阿初主動走上前跟男老闆聊天,她對他沒有產生什麼情愫方面的好感,她只是好奇他一個這麼MAN的男人,為何會開一間這麼女生感覺的cafe。353Please respect copyright.PENANAhNvKQr3QE3
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlDFfUtVvU5
353Please respect copyright.PENANAn0CYSa2vmo
男老闆聽畢只毫不掩飾地大笑了兩聲:「這問題有好多人問過我,這個問題背後只突顯了發問者背後的思想框架。我能說的,就是我只是做我自己而已,沒什麼特別的。」353Please respect copyright.PENANADgaFACqNYe
353Please respect copyright.PENANAqPvLI2d7cQ
353Please respect copyright.PENANAgftShblNbm
阿初徑自發問另一個問題:「那你會擔心遇到自己不喜歡,或是不滿意自己的客人進來嗎?」353Please respect copyright.PENANATcRizm9NDG
353Please respect copyright.PENANAlVqxbzywCs
353Please respect copyright.PENANAkVcAJyBouq
男老闆認真的回應:「知道自己是誰,心夠強大,就能勇敢面對,不會輕易給別人拉扯。」353Please respect copyright.PENANA6msDbMj4zV
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQa797LWOMv
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdpFfKhHQYY
阿初其實聽不明白老闆的這番話與她的問題有何關係。353Please respect copyright.PENANA1y8X2mVtsH

第十二天。阿初每天都去不同的cafe流連,沒有一間是重複的。直到今天,她想重回Soulmate cafe。353Please respect copyright.PENANAeY4cXBRf16
353Please respect copyright.PENANAtW6TEI3Wje
353Please respect copyright.PENANAo9YgtXZybR
天氣有點變冷了,家敏覺得今天終於有點寒冬的氣息了,而在這個與冬天相符的日子裡,她又遇到那個屬於夏天的女生。353Please respect copyright.PENANAE4UUnJS2VZ
353Please respect copyright.PENANA2XYneuWI86
353Please respect copyright.PENANAdAmN9P6Cjh
阿初今天多加了一件淺灰色的大外套,仍舊挷著馬尾。353Please respect copyright.PENANAaRYKliiv8Z
353Please respect copyright.PENANAQBcqb9LGby
353Please respect copyright.PENANADooTq7XlbD
阿初看到桌上放著一個聖誕雪球,雪球裡面飄雪紛飛,看得阿初有點入迷,當她觸摸著雪球的玻璃時,她想起來一個她曾交往三年的舊男友。353Please respect copyright.PENANA3CrUxGJdcy
353Please respect copyright.PENANAn8hgT3ZQqk
353Please respect copyright.PENANA89AcOMopfB
那時,每個星期男生都會帶她去不同的cafe,阿初沒有跟他說過,其實她並不喜歡吃cafe那些精緻卻不滿足的餐點。353Please respect copyright.PENANAoPsOuKbRAu
353Please respect copyright.PENANAvRDgiU9mb0
353Please respect copyright.PENANAHrzcIPNiVR
男生喜歡夏天的熾熱,喜歡去天氣炎熱的沙灘島嶼度假,阿初也從沒跟他表示過,其實她喜歡冬天,喜歡寒冷,喜歡下雪的地方。她想被潔白的雪深深包圍。353Please respect copyright.PENANAXlX9ru7eU2
353Please respect copyright.PENANAcFgcrX0okf
353Please respect copyright.PENANAZV70ev1EEE
男生一直以為阿初喜歡天藍色,因為自從他送過她一個天藍色的手繩後,阿初就開始挑選天藍色的東西來買。直到後來,男生才發現阿初最喜歡的顏色是白色。353Please respect copyright.PENANAGpPln3Rnaf
353Please respect copyright.PENANAuhD3VaLiu6
353Please respect copyright.PENANASoyB18vfpk
阿初從來沒有發現自己的勉強配合,她一直都習慣了這樣淹沒自己……353Please respect copyright.PENANAzvjntgHOc8
353Please respect copyright.PENANAyKhVEjPZLY
353Please respect copyright.PENANAroXVBYd0AB
最後,男生在分手時,不溫不忟跟阿初說:「妳就是不肯讓人了解妳,不肯接納自己的個性與渴望,只在討好別人換取愛。這讓妳嚇跑了不少人,包括我也會這樣逃跑吧。」353Please respect copyright.PENANAYuOQIgLPeX
353Please respect copyright.PENANAM4bgIHc6xk
353Please respect copyright.PENANArAfZNDwaPh
當下阿初聽到他這樣說,也只是細聲「喔」了一聲而已,不知道是認同,還是滿不在乎的。但她就當回應了他的揭穿,和完成最後的句號。353Please respect copyright.PENANAGXKwikc2cO
353Please respect copyright.PENANAjhP9lN0k6C

353Please respect copyright.PENANAMk2ewKNExb
353Please respect copyright.PENANAed0b3sdXt1
在Soulmate cafe裡,阿初閉上眼,雙手掩臉,她雙眼感受到手指的溫暖。直到她再張開眼時,她看見這間cafe的天花下起雪來。353Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z3hbukP7v
353Please respect copyright.PENANA5NxuR3Yt1z
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGsUd2SJbxY
整間cafe都飄起半透明狀的點點雪花,好迷幻,但這雪好像只有阿初看到而已,或許也只需要她一人看到就好,那只屬於她一個人的渴望。353Please respect copyright.PENANAeWljJEy4wp
353Please respect copyright.PENANAF6ijX3X5jL
353Please respect copyright.PENANAGls0rRPMRO
她的頭髮、肩膀、眼睫毛、手指都沾上沒有溫度的雪。其中一片雪花,緩緩降落在阿初的手中慢慢溶化……353Please respect copyright.PENANAAq2AMwmKOr
353Please respect copyright.PENANA19Y5NZy7Qk
353Please respect copyright.PENANAmisoDekmJI
阿初決定了,她要握起手心來,捉緊……353Please respect copyright.PENANAjjypnrv9uL
353Please respect copyright.PENANAfLJobReqSf
353Please respect copyright.PENANAwNCvVbAAIp
也許SOULMATE 不一定要是他人,也可以是自己與自己的一場認識。353Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3vU4L0Amy
