Final

The Delivery Girl

“Hey Saerom, did you order the pizza yet?” Hayoung, asked her gaze moving from the laptop in front of her to the same aged girl who was currently in the kitchen. “Yeah I did, but can you check my laptop just in case,” Saerom replied, her focus on the box of cookies in her hand. She had been struggling for the past 5 minutes had still had no luck of opening it.

Deciding to give up, Saerom put the box back in the cupboard, a sigh of frustration escaping her lips as she did so. “It should be here in about 10 minutes,” Hayoung said, her gaze never leaving her laptop as her fingers moved quickly across the keyboard. “Good, I’m starving,” Saerom replied, picking her laptop from the table before sitting herself beside Hayoung.

“Are you sure you’re not thirsty?” Saerom stopped typing and looked up to find her best friend with a smirk on her face. “What are you trying to imply?” she questioned, eyes squinting as her gaze never left Hayoung’s face.

A laugh escaped Hayoung’s lips whilst she looked up to face Saerom. “You asked them to send their cutest delivery person as your special request.” She eyed Saerom and couldn’t help but let out another laugh when the girl looked back at her laptop, cheeks turning red.

“Chaeyoung did it before, I thought it’d be funny to try it out. I wasn’t trying anything,” Saerom’s voice was quiet and another laugh escaped Hayoung’s lips, this time more quietly. “I’m not judging or anything, I just wanted to tease you,” she turned her attention back towards her laptop.

The embarrassment that was filling up her whole body and it wasn’t going to go away any time soon. Deciding that there was no escaping, she opened her eyes and continued with the research she was doing before.

For a few minutes both of them worked in silence until the sound of knowing could be heard throughout their apartment. Saerom placed her laptop on the coffee table and immediately stood up. She made sure to grab the money before heading towards their apartment door.

Saerom didn’t want to keep the person waiting, plus she was kind of interested in whether or not her special request had been accepted. The moment she opened the door, Saerom came face to face with an apologetic but cute delivery girl.

She furrowed her brows, wondering why they were looking at her like that, but She didn't want to think of the reasons why, her thoughts only consisting of the cute girl standing in front of her. “I know you asked for the cutest delivery girl but I’m the only person delivering tonight so I apologise that we weren’t able to fulfil it.”

Saerom bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself from smiling, not only was the girl cute but her voice was cute too. “Don’t apologise, you still got my special request right.” A moment of silence had passed before Saerom realised what she had said. Her cheeks darkened and she quickly looked away, not wanting to make eye contact with the stranger. The delivery girl couldn’t help but smile at the girl’s reaction.

The girl realised that she was still working, she needed to get the money quickly and hand the girl her pizza.  She cleared and looked down at the girl with a smile, “So that will be £17.00,” Saerom took the money from her pocket, and handing it to the girl in front of her.

Saerom was too embarrassed to make eye contact with the stranger but once the pizza was handed, she looked up to face the delivery, mustering enough courage to smile at the girl.

“Here’s you money,” she said quietly, thankful that she didn’t stutter when she spoke. That would have been even more embarrassing. The delivery girl giggled at the shorter girl’s actions, she found the girl cute. “Thank you for buying our pizza,” the girl said with a smile before turning and walking away.

Saerom watched the girl walking away but realised that she hadn’t gotten her name so she rushed after her with the pizza in her hands, “Wait, what’s your name?” The girl stopped in her tracks and turned around, “My name’s Gyuri, Jang Gyuri,” she said with a smile on her face before she turned and continued walking away.

“Gyuri,” Saerom muttered to herself as she walked the short length back to her apartment, making sure to lock the door before heading towards the living room. “So were they cute,” Hayoung asked, her hands immediately making their way to the pizza and grabbing a slice the moment she opened the box.

Saerom nodded her head slowly, “She was cute, even her voice was cute,” she replied, “I was able to get her name.”

Hayoung looked up at her friend, “Wow Lee Saerom, you’re so amazing,” she teased before taking another bite out of her pizza. Saerom slapped the girl on the arm gently, “Don’t tease me,” she replied, her hands moving to grab a slice. “But seriously, you only got her name,” Saerom nodded in response.

“I didn’t think to get her number, I only thought of getting her name,” she took a bite of the pizza with a sad look on her face, she wasn’t sure if she would ever see Gyuri again.

“Maybe you’ll see her around,” Hayoung said as she placed her hand on Saerom’s shoulder, a hopeful smile on her face before she took another bit. “Maybe,” Saerom muttered to herself, leaning back against the sofa whilst continuing to eat her pizza. Next time I see her I’ll definitely get her number.
