Simplicity of Love
Heartbreakers Gonna BreakTonight was very hectic. The ramen shop was very crowded. Lots of customer came to satisfy their hunger with the most famous ramen in the town.
JongSuk was very busy. He even couldn't call or just text his boyfriend. He was sad. But nothing he could do since the customers come and go without break.
"Sukkie.. It's for table number four.."
"Yes boss.."
JongSuk kept delivering the order to the table. From one table to another table. He even couldn't wipe his sweat beads on his forehead.
"Sukkie.. " the boss called again
"This is for table number ten.. And look new customer.. Get their order.." JaeSuk pointed at a middle aged couple who just entered the shop.
"Welcome to JaeSuk's ramen shoooop.." All the employees automatically greeted the couple.
"Go Sukkie..." JaeSuk ordered
"Okay boss.."
JongSuk moved to the table number ten and then to the couple. He smile before asking
"Good evening.. May I have your order?" JongSuk asked politely
"We don't want to eat.. We just want to wait for someone.." The man said coldly
JongSuk was a bit startled hearing the man's answer but he kept calm. Facing this kind of customer is very common for JongSuk. Thus he just smiled
"Okay then.. Just let me known when you're ready to order.. Please enjoy your time, sir, ma'am.." JongSuk said as he turned around
"You don't tell us to get out?" The woman suddenly said making JongSuk turned to them again
"Why should I?" JongSuk asked back, now making the coupe confused
"There's no rule that order you to have a meal here.. In this shop you can just sit and enjoy the street view.. So why should I tell you to go?" JongSuk explained
"So enjoy your time.."
JongSuk left the couple as he went back to his work. The couple kept their eyes on JongSuk
They saw JongSuk ran happily from one table to another and served the ramen to the customers. Sometimes sighed tiredly but then came back with high spirit.
They saw JongSuk was very nice and polite to the customer. Sometimes he talked to the customer, asking their day or how the ramen taste
They saw JongSuk helped a little child to sit on the chair ad then helped the little child with the chopstick to eat the ramen. He calmed down another child who was crying over his spoiled ramen. The child stopped crying. The chidlren smiled and hugged JongSuk.
JongSuk looks like a perfect waiter. Every customers like him. Every child smiled at him and hugged him. JongSuk smiled. And the couple unconciously smiled.
"Sukkiee.. Can you help the counter? I need to go to the toilet.." JaeSuk shouted
"Nae bossss.." JongSuk parted the children by giving them hi-five and then went to the counter
Again with wide smile, JongSuk took the order from the customer. JongSuk sighed relievedly when he saw no more customer came. He just wanted to take a rest but then JungShin shouted
"Sukkiee.. Help me in the kitchen please.."
"Okay Shin Jung.." JongSuk answered
"Yah! Don't call me like that!!" JungShin protested but JongSuk just laughed
Finishing the help for the kitchen, JongSuk walked to the counter. Felt that his job was done, he took out his phone wanted to call Woo Bin but
"Sukkiee.. Can you help to clean the shop.. KwangSoo suddenly get stomachache .."
JongSuk sighed. He put in the phone and went to do his job.
"Yes boss..."
The shop was almost empty. Only one person who was still eating his ramen and the middle aged couple who will didn't order anything
JongSuk started to clean the tables, fix the chair and mop the floor. When there was only the couple left, JaeSuk called
"Sukkiee.."
"Nae?"
JaeSuk waved his hand, signing JongSuk to come to him
"Tell that couple to go.. We'll close our shop.." JaeSuk whispered
JongSuk looked at the couple who was staring at him. JongSuk startled. He gulped before he walked to the couple. The couple just stared at him like an eagle saw its prey.
"Uhm.. Excuse me sir,ma'am.. I'm sorry but we're going to close the shop.. Uhm.. Are you still waiting for someone?" JongSuk tried to speak politely
"Yes! We're still waiting. He's still working." The man answered still with cold tone
"Oh.. Uhm.. Well.. Do you, somehow , know when he will finish the work?"
"Well.. Let me ask him first.."
"Okay.."
"Are you finish?" The man asked JongSuk
"W-what?" JongSuk blinked confusedly
"We're waiting for you Lee Jong Suk.." The woman said. JongSuk gasped
"H-how do you know my name? A-and why are you waiting for me? A-and-"
Too much question in JongSuk's mind now. The chuckling from the couple made JongSuk more confused
