‘Kyuhyun... Kyuhyun…’ Hyukjae called make me snapped from my thought. I was welcomed with Hyukjae’s pouting sight. ‘Did you listen to what I am saying just now?’

‘I’m sorry. I was thinking at that moment. What are you saying again?’ I asked looking at him apologetic.

‘Kyuhyun, are you sure you actually wanted to spend time together? Is office still have many works? Are you worried about that?’ Hyukjae launched his questions at me, which I just waving my hand to him, silently telling him to not worried about my works.

‘Everything is fine.’ I told him and concentrated back on the movie we were watching. I could feel from the corner at my eyes that Hyukjae was looking at me questionably, but I didn’t dare to meet his stare. Hyukjae finally give up and continue watching the movie. He was laughing so badly at the scene while my mind was wondering somewhere, or to certain someone to be specific.

I let out small smile when my mind decided to replace the scene of the movie with certain someone bubbly face. I closed my eyes, trying to feel that certain someone closer. A wide smile spread on my lips when I imagined that person smiling face.

‘Kyuhyun… Kyuhyun… Kyuhyun…’ I felt someone shakes my body, calling me desperately. I let out groaned when that certain someone slowly was being taken away from my hug. ‘No… don’t go.’ I shouted, opened my eyes and was greeted with Hyukjae’s worried face.

‘Kyuhyun?’ Hyukjae called me confusedly, still looking at me with thousands questions. ‘Are you okay?’ He asked me and carefully taking my hand with him, making me flinched at the sudden contact.

‘Yeah. I’m fine.’ I said and stood up, walking to the kitchen to grab some drink. Hyukjae followed me suit, and I turned to look at him with glass of water in my hand. ‘I’m tired, Hyuk. Let’s go to sleep.’ I said and smirked at him playfully. Hyukjae understood and let out playful smile also.

‘I must have gone crazy.’ I said, playing with Hyukjae’s hair. He was sleeping soundly after our activity. I stopped playing with his hair, lying to face the ceiling. ‘Why did I have to imagine you when I’m with Hyukjae?’ I asked and smiling softly, as your smiling face appeared on the ceiling.

‘Cappuccino please.’ I said to the cashier, eyes darting and searching for you.

‘It will be two dollars, sir.’ The cashier said and I handed the bill I have to her. ‘It seems like you’re looking for someone, sir.’ The cashier asked, taking my bill and pressing the ‘enter’ button at the money register. ‘May I know who?’

I looked at her, tried to look for her sincerity. I don’t want to get you into trouble, because this cashier could be jealous over you. I stay silent and eyes keep searching for you. ‘I will be at that table. Please send my drink there.’ I said and pointed to a table around the corner, little bit hid from people. She just nodded and I walked towards the table, disappointed because I couldn’t see you today.

‘I’m sorry. I’m sorry.’ My head perked up, hearing your distance voice.

‘Hurry up. You are already late three minutes.’ I heard one of the staff said to you, and I smiled to ears, knowing that I would be able to see you today. ‘Send this to the table. He had waiting long for his drink.’

‘I know. I’m sorry.’ You replied back cutely, taking the tray contain drink with you. You walked to a table in front of me, eyes not darting from the tray since you are worried that the drink will spilled down. ‘Oh, I’m sorry. Wrong table.’ You said blushing when you realized you have brought the drink to a table you weren’t supposed to send. You carefully lifted the tray once again and walked away from the table to mine.

I gulped my own saliva when I saw you’re walking towards my table. The drink was mine? I asked myself and nodded when I saw it was indeed cappuccino on the tray. ‘Sorry it took long.’ You said smiling softly and placing the drink on my table. I was frozen the moment Iyou’re your smiles and wasn’t able to do or to speak anything. ‘Enjoy your drink.’ You said and left.

‘Wait.’ I shouted and you turned, looking at me confusedly. So do the other customers and your colleagues. ‘Aaa.. Would you mind recommend me what desserts goes well with the drink?’ I asked sheepishly and you smiled, nodded your head and take the menu from the near table. You went to me and started to recommended, which I actually didn’t heard any of the details since I was busy admiring your beautiful face.   

I patted my full stomach, too content because I could taste many of delicious desserts thanks to your recommendation. ‘Ahh…. I’m full.’ I said and you smiled at me.

‘I glad you like what I recommended.’ You said and started cleaning the table.

‘Your recommendation is the best.’ I said and give you thumbs up.

‘You just have big appetite, sir.’ You said and smiled at me. ‘Now you have to pay the bill. Don’t be shock to found such huge amount for simple desserts. You eat quite a lot.’ You said jokingly, and I laughed at it. I took out my black Amex and put it inside the receipt plank. You took the plank and brought it to the cashier, waiting for him to calculate my bill. My eyes were not darting from you, don’t want to waste time to not admire such a beauty.

You walked back gracefully to my table, placing the plank on the table. I took my card out from the plank, and put it inside my wallet once again.

‘A customer like you should come more often. That way, we will have more business.’ You said laughing and I laughed along.

‘I definitely will.’ I said. ‘Only if you are the one who served me.’ I added and your eyes twinkling bright.

‘I would love to assist you on that.’ You answered me, looking eager. You soon blushed as you aware that you are sounded too eager. ‘I’m sorry. It just I never have any guest to point me and serve them. That’s why I a little bit excited.’ You explained while your face was blushing pink.

‘I am honored to be your first customer then.’ I said, bowing a little playfully. ‘see you tomorrow, Ms…. Ahreum.’ I said, reading the name tag on your chest.

You smiled and replied to me back; ‘see you tomorrow, Mr. Love Desserts more than his life.’ You said jokingly.

‘Kyuhyun. Cho Kyuhyun is the name.’ I said, stopping in front of the door. ‘I will see you again tomorrow, right Ms. Ahreum?’ I asked for confirmation.

‘Yes. I would be here at the same hour.’ You said and I nodded my head, waving my hand at you as I walked away to go back home.

‘Ahreum….’ I muttered your name. ‘Such a pretty name for a pretty face.’

Now you know who is the third wheel.

Enjoy everyone.
