Seongwoo dropped his books when you saw you walk by
you were as beautiful as ever
but he’d knew that you’d never look at him the same way he looked at you
more or less, you wouldn’t look at anyone that way anyways
you were too focus on your college degree to date
when you looked over at him, he frantically looked away as he picked up his books
you were on the phone with your friend as you helped him
you noticed his books brought you back memories from your first year in college
“what? there’s no way I’d date someone younger than me if I wanted to date..”
he nodded to thank you and you nodded back as you went on your way
clenching his heart, he was slightly discouraged to hear that
you were his upperclassman; on your last year of college
whereas he just enrolled as a freshman
he took it upon himself to change your mind
Seongwoo clenched his fist as he nodded in determination
he checked his phone and widened his eyes
“I’M LATE FOR WORK!!”
with all his might, he dashed to the bubble tea shop on campus
“you know if you’re late, I’m gonna have to demote ya..” Seongwoo’s manager sighed
“but I don’t wanna do that since you bring in a lot of female customers.. so.. don’t be late,” the manager placed his hand on Seongwoo’s shoulder and gave him a thumb’s up
Seongwoo nodded as he pushed his hair back into a black cap
10 minutes into his shift, customers came flooding in
“come on, y/n, I heard the workers here are cute!!”
hearing your name caught Seongwoo’s attention
he saw you sighing as your friend was dragging you to the register
“I only agreed to come here for the boba and not the boys... I wouldn’t be interested anyways...”
Seongwoo’s eyes tried not to be reeling back to you but he couldn’t help it
“hey I gotta go to the bathroom, if you get to the register and I’m not there, get me a pink lychee with strawberry jellies okay?” your friend winked as she went over the cute worker to ask where the bathroom was
suddenly it was your turn and both you and Seongwoo were nervous
well Seongwoo was nervous because he was in your presence
and you were nervous because you didn’t know what to get
“um.. wh-what can I get for you-u..” he bit on his tongue at the end of his sentence; he felt embarassed
but you were too busy scanning the menu for what you wanted
“uh.. a medium pink lychee with strawberry jellies for my friend...and....”
you looked up at him at the end of your sentence, “what do you recommend?”
his palms were getting sweaty as he gulped down his nervousness
“do you want something fruity? or do you prefer milk teas?” maybe Seongwoo could find out what kind of person you are by what drinks you prefer
you placed your hand on your chin and pouted; Seongwoo’s heart was clinging onto it’s dear life, it was probably the cutest thing he’s seen
“I heard the lavender taro milk tea was good... could I get a medium one of that with regular boba?”
he blinks out of his daydream (of going on dates with you) and nods as he punches in the total amount
“that’d be 5 dollars..” he mumbles quietly
you furrowed your brows, “did you add in my order?”
Seongwoo looks over his shoulder casually and replies, “it’s on the house..for here or to go?”
you blinked at him a couple of times before handed over your card
“for here....aren’t you...” you say as he proceeds with the transaction, “the guy who dropped books this morning?”
(so she does remember me!)
Seongwoo nods as he sends you a smile
“I don’t like owing people...so that’s why your drink was on the house,” he hands back your card
“it was just an act of kindness...” you walked away as your friend comes back from the bathroom
“you talked to the cutest worker here!?” she slaps you on the back
“well.. he is nice.. remember when I told you over the phone that I helped a guy who dropped his books, it was him.. he said my drink was on the house...”
“isn’t he just the sweetest?”
“well he made me pay for your drink..”
“what an ass...”
you chuckled at your friend
he didn’t seem like a bad guy.. he was just younger than you...
you and your friend sat down to get some classwork done
“here’s the pink lychee with strawberry jellies and the lavender taro milk tea with boba...”
you both looked up to see Seongwoo
“thanks,” you both said
Seongwoo dashes back behind the register
“hey y/n, there’s a piece of paper under your drink..” your friend points out
you pulled it from under your drink
-I heard that you don’t usually date.. or go for younger guys... but I’ll prove you that I can be enough for you.. (xxx) xxx-xxxx -Seongwoo
you were flustered and your friend was making a scene
“LOOK AT THAT! YOU SHOULD GO FOR HIM..” she whispered loudly
you smacked her as you went back to your work
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS
you’ve received small acts of affections from your admirer
like; bouquets of flowers, cups of coffee or bubble tea, snacks etc
you felt reluctant to take them
but Seongwoo was persistant
“you know I don’t date-”
“THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING IT!” he’d bow deeply before running away; not giving you a chance to give it back to him
ONE DAY
you were taking the long way to the library since you finished your test early when you saw Seongwoo with a girl
they seemed to be having a serious conversation
“why are you trying so hard to impress y/n!? she doesn’t even care about you! she’s just toying with you..”
Seongwoo clenches his fists, “yes.. she doesn’t really care for me.. but.. just being near her.. just seeing her once in my day, makes my day.. she makes me happy regardless if she likes me or not...”
you leaned forward to hear more of what he’s saying but you stepped on crumpled newspaper; causing the both of them to look at you
“s-sorry..” you muttered as you went on your way
you felt guilty for hurting two people without even knowing
“y/n! wait!” Seongwoo tried to follow you but the girl held his wrist to prevent him from going
“I’m sorry..” he gently pushes her hand away and runs after you
somehow, Seongwoo caught up to you
“y/n,” he puts his hand on your shoulder but the glare that you gave him made him step back
“why,” you tried to keep your voice at a gentle tone; masking your burst of confusion, “why do you like me? it’s just about looks isn’t it?”
you were used to guys liking you because you were “pretty,” especially younger guys
that was the number one reason why you didn’t like younger guys
Seongwoo looked at his feet; he couldn’t look up at you
“yeah...”
you scoffed as you turned your back to him and walked away
“it was at first,” you heard him say; causing you to stop in your tracks
“the more I paid attention to you, the more I could see that you were more than a pretty face...”
you heard his steps slowly come closer and closer to where you stopped
“you’re caring and nice; whether someone is watching or not... you’re quiet but you’re not afraid to say what’s on your mind.. you’re someone who I can learn from..”
you could clearly hear his voice right behind you
“I don’t know the reason why you don’t date younger guys but...I’m willing to do whatever it takes to be by your side.. even if.. even if I can’t be with you..”
slowly looking over your shoulder, you could tell that there was no way he could be lying with a set of eyes rimmed with building tears
no guy has ever gave you a clear reason why they liked you; they always tried to go around the fact that they only liked you because you were pretty
you took a deep breath in and replied to him, “you’re persistent..”
his eyes left his shoes and were met with your eyes
“but I guess persistence is key... I’m surprise that you’re passionate, but.. gimme time..”
the fact you were giving him a glimmer of hope made his heart swell up
his face lit up like fireworks as his face is basically in front of yours
feeling embarrassed; you were giving into dating for once
you didn’t know what it was to have a fluttering heart anymore until that moment
you turned around and started walking fast, “and stop it with the gifts.. I don’t have anymore room in my place to put flowers...”
Seongwoo could tell you were trying to be tsundere but he could see right through you that you were blushing
“lemme hold your bags..”
“I can hold my own bags..”
but by the time you both got to the library, Seongwoo was happily holding them for you
