It was a normal Friday at the Seijoh Cafe. An employee wiping the table while talking to his boss. He was being informed that in a few minutes, a new co-worker will be helping him with the place. After a while, the bell on top of the door rang, meaning someone eneterd their shop.
Upon entering the shop, the customer accidentally pushed down a table the employee JUST cleaned.
Judging by his actions, he wasn't a customer because he didn;t go straight the counter, instead, he was looking for someone. He eyed with the manager and the employee then waved.
"Boss yan ba yung intern?", the employee spoke.
" Oo Hajime, bantayan mo yan ah, turuan mo ng mga kailangan nya malaman".
" sige na wag ka na magreklamo, babyeee, magoorder pa ako ng stock eh", the manager said as he breezed his way out.
"Oikawa, in case you need any help, just ask that guy na nagpupunas ng lamesa ha? sige goodluck, medyo masungit yan pero mabait naman", the manager whispered in his ear before leaving.
The intern sped up to the cleaning employee.
"Hi!! ako si Toruu, thanks for having me today!", Oikawa said with a cheerful expression.
"Okay ka lang? today lang?", Iwaizumi said in annoyance.
" Haji nalang itawag mo sakin, ang trabaho mo, cashier ha? seems easy to do naman diba? taking orders lang. while I do all the drinks and cleaning. sige nandun sa staff room yung uniform", he quickly added.
Shocked, Oikawa tensed up, "huh? cashier? okay?? tapos uniform staff room?? nasan yung staff room??", he sprinted.
10 minutes later, Oikawa was ready,he then dashed to the counter. His excitement quickly sank as the rugged co-worker appeared and stopped him from touching anything.
"Ano sa tingin mo ginagawa mo? mamaya kung ano mapindot mo", Iwaizumi said as he held Oikawa's wrist. He then closed the computer then started explaining how his new co-worker would do his job. Right after explaining, a customer entered.
"oh ayan, si miss yachi yan, simple lang sya magorder so alam kong kaya mo yan", Iwaizumi told him as he went to his station.
Oikawa handled his first customer well. He was calm and always wore a smile on his face as he took the order.
His first customer exited the Seijoh cafe with a satisfied look.
Fast forward to closing time, Iwaizumi was wiping the tables and Oikawa was finished with his cashies duties. He went to the other unwiped tables ang cleaned them and turned the chair up.
It was then left to two table close to each other. An awkward silence was felt but broke as Iwaizumi spoke. "Good job today Toruu, keep it up kasi bukas mas times 5 yung customers natin".
Oikawa felt appreciated and smiled. "You're not that bad naman pala, thank you!".
The spike-haired one looked at him and turned beet red all of a sudden. He turned around and went to the staff room. "OO OO!! keep it up lang dahil in a few weeks tuturuan na kita sa drinks!!".
A month passed by, Oikawa and Iwaizumi grew closer, well, sort of.
"Good morning, welcome to Seijoh caf-", the tall one stuttered when he saw who the customer was. It was a group of friends, but Oikawa seemed to be afraid. Bullies? Toxic Friends? Iwaizumi thought.
"OMG! Dito nga talaga sya nagtatrabaho! grabe ganun ba sya kasabik magkapera?"
" Girl, I heard nga he sold his body or something eh?"
" Really?? well, I heard nakipag-hook up sya dun kay ***** for money"
All those things, they said in fornt of the counter in loud voices as if Oikawa was not even there. People around started whispering to each other.
" Um.. may I take you order? may linya po kasi...", Oikawa said in a faint voice.
" Excuse me? kami ang customer dito noh? wala kang karapatang sabihan kami na magmadali", "Girl, hayaan mo na, let's just order, we can continue this sa table"
" Ugh fine, anyways, tatlong ******* and extra ***, tapos ilagay mo na name p*kp*kawa"
"Yes ma'am, any additions?"
"Uhm, wala na, thank you"
Iwaizumi was about to help Oikawa, but then,
" Sure ka? wala ng additions? Add ng body count? no? dagdag ng makeup? no? oops, nevermind marami ka nga naman pala non, unli-supply", Oikawa said with a devillish look.
The girl was landed a slap on Oikawa's face. But he didn't flinch, she landed another one, nothing. The cashier continued smiling to trigger her. When she was about to throw her third palm, her hand stopped mid-way. Iwaizumi clasped her arm.
"UGH! ITO RIN BA? TANDAAN MO! KILALA KITA! KILALA KO YUNG TOTOONG IKAW!", the girl screamed as her friends tried to calm her down. Iwaizumi courted the group outside the cafe.
When he went back, Oikawa was taking order normally as if nthing happened. He was wearing a smile on his face as he took the customers' orders.
It was closing time and they were wiping the tables and arranging the chairs, as usual.
"Good job today Toruu, keep it up", Iwaizumi greeted him before he went out.
After Oikawa changed, he waved goodbye to his boss and went out.
As he opened the door, a man was waiting for him in the side.
" Haji?", Oikawa called him for he wasn't sure if it was really his co-worker because it was too dark.
Iwaizumi approached him and held his face and looked closely.
" Huh? Haji teka virgin pa lips ko".
" Tanga! tinitignan ko yung sampal sayo kanina. masakit pa ba?? tignan mo namumula pa oh"
" Panong hindi ako mamumula, ang lapit lapit ng mukha mo"
" Huh? AY! WALA YAN! CONCERNED LANG AKO! KASI SYEMPRE KA-TRABAHO KITA! KAIBIGAN NA RIN!"
" OO GANON! tsaka next time na may mangyaring ganon, sabihan mo agad ako! bahala ka nga jan!"
" luh ang sungit mo naman maging concerned HAHAH ang cute. pero ok lang, sanay na naman ako, tsaka for sure gagantihan nanaman nila ako"
" ganti? UMUWI KA NA NGA! text mo nalang ako pag nakauwi ka na, ito pala number ko... AY HINDI, HAHATID NA KITA!"....
" DON'T TAKE IT THE WRONG WAY, FOR SAFETY LANG!"
