Affogato

Byunghun pov :
I was peacefully drying a glass with a soft cloth when I heard the bell of the cafe door indicating a new customer .
It was raining heavily and there weren't much customers there so I kinda didn't expect hearing the bell and thus my eyes instantly landed on a tall figure , drenched and probably seeking shelter in the cafe where I work.
He had jet black hair that slicked down to his neck.
Cat like brown eyes that seemed Sharp yet quite innocent if you look closely .
I skipped his nose because something else took precedence , his lips .
Other than the fact they were ridiculously huge for a guy and a Korean one at that , they were moving...
He was talking..
But I was in a mental world that I had created the moment that stranger stepped inside the cafe.
Wake up ! wake up !
I heard internal voices urging me to snap out of it.
Shaking my head frantically, I luckily managed to bring myself back to the real world.
" I'm worry ? "
I apologized hoping he would repeat whatever came out from those luscious lips.
!!!
Did I just say worry instead of sorry ??
God !!
His voice - once again - , snapped me out of thoughts.
" Are you open ? "
He asked one more time , his expression turning into a teasing smile .
Great.
Way to go , Byunghun.
You look like a fool now.
" Uh .. yea . Yea ."
I hastily answered as I set the glass aside and stepped out of the counter area.
He took off his coat and hung it on a chair then sat down.
The rest of his clothes weren't wet , luckily.
But I still made sure the heating system was on.
I grabbed a small towel and approached him , my steps alarming him and when he noticed it , he blinked then chuckled spontaneously .
" Thanks . " He said softly accepting the towel and started drying his hair whilst I kept standing there watching him .
He finally sighed and sat down then gazed at me.
" May I have a cup of Affogato ? "
Affogato ?
People rarely order Affogato .
" Sure .. " I mumbled and turned around to prepare him his order.
The whole time , I had two things in mind.
My current situation and the texts I was waiting for which were related to the clock ticking 12:00 am.
Once I was done with it , I went to him again and served him his Affogato.
To be honest , I’m not quite sure if he would like it since I don't usually prepare it.
But .. he ordered it , better expect anything.
" Here. " I said gently as if it would make up for any possible damage regarding the taste.
To my surprise , when I was about to leave , he spoke up.
" Would you mind sitting so we have a small talk ? "
Normally , I wouldn't agree for one , we don't just sit with customers , two , there are other customers to tend to , three , he started creeping me out with such request.
But .. since only both of us were present and I didn't need to serve anyone else nor do anything in the kitchen , I found myself parting my lips hesitantly and he must have noticed my uneasiness.
" We will just talk.. It's kinda lonely right now and I'm sure you have nothing else to do so why not ? "
" Okay. "
I pulled the chair and sat down my lips unconsciously.
It was already late and I was about to leave were it not for the weather and his sudden appearance.
" You see.. I was trying to get familiar with the town but then it started to rain and gladly I noticed this cafe. "
He said after taking a sip of his drin
