It’s currently late afternoon. All you can hear is pitter patter of rain against the windows accompanied by chill café music in the background.
Usually, you would be dealing with the aftermath of a lunchtime rush. Sometimes, it can get really busy during those times. However, today wasn’t much of a rush at all. Maybe because it’s been pouring down since early this morning.
You haven’t really got anything to do so you just decided to check your phone for a little.
You glance up as you hear the door open and spot a familiar figure coming in.
He’s somewhat a regular customer, probably orders a drink, two or three times a week. Usually either the same or you notice that he takes a little time, staring at the menu, maybe thinking he should venture out a little with something different.
He’s quite a happy chap whenever you see him and, you think he’s cute too.
You really want to know his name and ask for his number, but, you being you, you absolutely do not have the courage to do so. Especially with someone so handsome and probably out of his league. And usually, it’s quite busy whenever he’s here, but today, right now, it’s very quiet. Probably because it’s pouring outside. Perhaps today’s the day you pluck up the courage and spark up a little conversation with him?
You sometimes wonder what he does for work. Is he a model? Could be, especially with a face like that.
You spot him finally making his way over to you as he decides what to get.
“Hi!”, you say with a smile on your face. “What can I get for you today?”
“Hey!” He responds with a beaming smile as always, whenever he’s here. “Um, can I get an iced latte please?”
You notice his facial expression slight changes, to a hesitate one it looks like but you ignore it.
“Um yeah…” his voice comes out a little hoarse so he clears his throat. “C-can I also get your number, please?”
You stare at him with wide eyes, blinking at him a few times, not expecting that. “W-what?”
The guy repeats his question, seemingly with confidence this time. “Can I get your number, please? I-it’s just that I think you’re really cute and you seem like a really sweet person. I’ve always wanted to talk to you. I mean, other than you taking my order, but, I know it can get quite busy here so I don’t want to disturb you. I mean… It’s okay if you say no-!”
You butt him in mid-sentence. “What? No, no! It’s cool!”
He looks at you with a beaming smile on his face again; dimples popping out in view. Gosh, you just want to poke his dimples.
“Thank you…” he takes his phone out and passes it to you so you can write your name and number. You pass his phone back and looks at your name and number.
“Thanks… uh, Y/N.” he smiles. “Cute.”
You let out a small chuckle.
“I’m Jaehyun by the way. Nice to meet you!” He reaches out his hand, and you reach back, shaking hands in unison as you both chuckle.
“So, Y/N, I’ll call you, or text. Whichever you prefer.”
“Sounds good”, you say with a smile.
“Great! I’ll, uh, see you around” he gives you a wink. You give him a small wave and he does the same back, you watch him walk out of the store.
You kind of stare at the door for a while, thinking back to what just happened. A slight blush forms on your cheeks, and you softly tap them with the tips of your fingers, trying to stop yourself from blushing even further. Then suddenly, you had a thought.
“Wait, did he just order a drink and walk out without one?”
As you get lost in thoughts, you suddenly feel a buzz in your pocket and take out your phone and see a text from an unknown number.
“Forget about the drink haha, I just wanted your number today :)”
