who would’ve thought that ordering an acai bowl would turn into a humiliation ritual for me?
i knew i was doomed as soon as i first laid my eyes on the new barista.
i know this place inside and out. like every worker there knows my usual order, where i usually sit or at what time i usually come in.
i had noticed each employees habits, to the point where i could recognize who made my bowl by the taste alone.
i’ve never seen her before though.
but one thing was for certain, she added a completely new reason on why this place deserves a five star review.
i‘ve been staring at her since i walked in. to my luck she was busy taking orders behind the register, so i could keep waiting in line, admiring her for a little longer.
however, time went by so quickly, i hadn’t at all realized that there was only one person left in the queue infront of me. so my mind started racing, trying to figure out what im going to say.
i tried scrambling sentences together, which was somehow unnecessarily difficult for me. im used to the employee immediately asking, “the usual?” as i walk up to the counter, then i follow up with a nod. that’s it.
“hi. what can i do for you?”
i was able to see her face in full detail now. and she wasn’t helping my case by smiling so politely at me.
i just couldn’t help but notice the two moles on her face, that were so perfectly aligned to each other. her hair, that complimented her face so well. her eyes, which—
what is wrong with me? seriously? instead of trying to come up with an answer to her question, i was busy observing her features.
as the silence grew, her smile slowly turned into a confused expression.
she furrowed her eyebrows before she continued with, “ehm, i would recommend this weeks açai special.” while pointing at it on the menu card.
i pretended to take a look at her recommendation, but inside i was still trying to comprehend how badly im embarrassing myself right now. “yeah, i’ll try that. i guess” i said, scratching my head awkwardly.
“amazing.” she replied. she didn’t sound so enthusiastic.
i can’t blame her to be honest, i was staring at her like a legitimate creep.
somehow, her looking at me with an expression filled with concern, brought me back to my senses.
i can’t let this conversation end like this. she‘s going to seriously question my existence.
so i start rambling instead,
“sorry about that, i just haven’t seen you here before and i come here a lot. so i was just confused.. hope you’re not weirded out or anything.”
she chuckled, “oh you’re good, don’t worry.”
there was small pause, before she continued, “ so you must be seonghyeon, right?”
“huh?” i blurt out. my eyebrows raised in shock.
“yep, quite the reputation you have around here. they said i’d have your usual orders memorized within a week. sounded like a warning.”
for fucks sake. how come my acai addiction has led to this?
“oh my god, please tell me you’re joking.”
she giggled, putting her hand over her mouth, obviously enjoying teasing her customer.
me on the other hand, i feel like i just singlehandedly humiliated my entire bloodline with this interaction.
when i got home from my shift, i was met with my brother already greeting me at the door.
which was extremely out of character for him, so i immediately knew that something was up.
"martin, whatever you did im not covering for you again." i said, assuming he sneaked out again late at night like last week.
"you know me too well, but that's not the case this time." he replied.
"okay then." i walked past him, stepping further into the house.
"did you start your new job today?" he asked curiously. he’s rarely this interested in what i do.
“yes, didn‘t i tell you my old one was too far away from our school and—”
“yeah yeah whatever, where do you work now?” he interrupted.
“bro, minju works there as well, the acai place—”
he cuts me off again, “oh my goodness.” he says, placing his hand over his mouth in shock.
i look back at him in pure confusion. what was so shocking about me working there? why was he in utter disbelief about me being employed?
“you’re not getting a discount, if that’s what you’re wondering.” i figured that could be the only reasonable explanation.
he continued to stare at me with raised eyebrows, before coughing and adjusting his voice, “right right, ah too bad, really wanted that 10% off.” he said, turning his back around to walk away quickly.
i just smile back awkwardly, as he exits the room.
that was weird. even for martin. right?
my shift ended over an hour ago. yet, here i am, still waiting for the rain to stop pouring.
i liked rain. only if its impracticality wasn’t affecting me. it is only acceptable, when im cozied up in a blanket with a drink, listening to the raindrops run down my window. it is not welcomed however, when i urgently need to make my way back home.
i’ve been staring out the window so miserably, hoping a fairy would appear, that could make this rain stop miraculously.
that’s when he appeared. not a fairy. just seonghyeon.
but to be fair, right now the umbrella in his hand seemed just as magical. truly my only way out of this mess.
his eyes met mine through the glass window. and without any second thoughts he made his way over to the door.
he brought down his umbrella, as he stepped into the shop. “how come you’re still here?”
“what do you mean? i work here.”
he chuckled, “yeah, i know, but the shop should be closed by now.”
“oh right, you would know. well in that case, how come you’re here?”
“i just happened to walk by, and i saw you looking…pitiful.”
“ah, i see. ehm.. i forgot to bring an umbrella, so i’ve been angrily staring at the rain, hoping i‘ll make it go away.”
i don’t know why i was talking to him so casually, as if he wasn’t my brothers best friend.
and to be fair, right now he was just a boy with an umbrella, which i very desperately needed.
“good thing i have one then, to put you out of your misery.”
i hate to admit this, but seonghyeon had ridiculously good umbrella-holding skills.
even if his umbrella, was covered in stars. personally, if I saw it in a store, i‘d probably buy it as well. however, him owning an umbrella of that sort, did not align with the seonghyeon i made up in my head. did i misread him?
considering, that he’s much taller than me. he still held the umbrella not too high up, so i wouldn‘t get any raindrops on me.
and when he noticed me hesitantly getting closer, he angled his body slightly, so that we would both fit under it more comfortably.
his steps slowed down, as we approached, what i assume to be his home.
selfishly, i was hoping he lived more far away from the shop than me, so I’d be able to fully exploit his umbrella, until I made it home safely.
“ehm, my house is just like a block away—”
before I could finish, he hands me the umbrella, and walks over to his door, letting himself get fully drenched. “go ahead.” he offered.
“oh no, it‘s okay. i won’t be able to return it to you.” i was trying to stay polite, but deep down i really wanted to keep it. i couldn’t bare walking through the rain. the stars printed on it were also cute bonus.
“don’t worry about it, i saw you admiring the stars on it.” he shrugged, taking out his keys out of his pockets. “you should keep it.”
honestly, i was mainly observing the stars so intensely, because i was trying to figure out why he would own such an item. but still, very thoughtful.
he waved me goodbye with such a big grin on his face, and i kind of felt bad for not smiling back at him.
i don’t know why I didn’t smile back at him. i don’t know how I felt about him at all actually. he wasn’t obnoxious or anything, but he also wasn’t someone i would voluntarily spend my time with. as of right now atleast.
something about him did intrigue me though.
“yo, whose umbrella is this?” martin yelled from the hallway.
an umbrella, plastered with stars is pretty recognizable, especially if your best friend owns— well owned the exact same one.
“where’d you get it from?” he questioned suspiciously.
i just shrugged, im usually pretty good at coming up with lies on the spot, but martin looked at me so mischievously, like he already knew the truth. there was no point in trying.
i hope, he doesn’t think too much of it. it was simply a nice gesture from seonghyeon to prevent me from getting wet. nothing more and nothing less. i think.
seeing her for the second time, felt different.
i didn’t expect to run into her. but when i saw her, sitting there, looking so.. helpless. something in me shifted.
the first time I saw her, i felt myself immediately gravitating towards her.
not because of her looks, sure that was a nice bonus.
but because of the way she carried herself. she interacted with customers, like she had known them for years. she seemed confident, in a way that intimidated me. so talking to her felt, scary.
but this time, the way she was gazing at the raindrops running down the glass, so deep in thought, intrigued me.
because she seemed different from the y/n i saw last time. that version of her, didn’t intimidate me. so talking to her felt, easier.
it was just me and her, not customer and worker.
i know it sounds stupid and im well aware the guys would laugh at me for already feeling so deeply about someone i barely know. and understandably so.
I’ve always heard people talking about instant attraction, feeling immediately drawn to someone, but never did i think I’d get to experience it firsthand.
would i call it love at first sight? i don’t know what that really entails. do i love her? no, i mean, i barely know her. but do i want to get to know her better? absolutely.
due to our practice room at school being under construction, martin offered to let us rehearse in his garage.
we all literally broke out in excitement, when he requested it, 'cause it was truly the day we’ve all been waiting for. a milestone, in our friendgroup you could say.
“can’t believe it’s our first time being in your humble abode, after all these years of friendship.” james said, as he prepared his drum equipment.
“if you guys keep being so weird about it, y’all might never step foot in here again.” martin joked, while grabbing a mic stand.
“are your parents home?” juhoon asked.
“nah, but my sisters home.” he replied, gifting me a quick glance, before turning his attention to keonho, who looked like he’s desperately trying to keep in a laugh.
kind of confused on whatever that was supposed to mean. i didn’t even know he had a sister.
“you sure she won’t mind us being here?” i asked, still somewhat confused by keonhos expression.
keonho breaks out in giggles, trying to get his sentence out, “yep, she definitely won’t mind seeing you here.”
“huh? that doesn’t even make sense keon.”
james hit his shoulder, giving him a stare, that read as 'seriously?'.
keonho confusing everybody, was very on brand for him. however, i used to always pride myself on being able to decipher his actions the best out of all of us. now im just as confused, if not more than them.
almost in sync, our heads turn to the garage door.
martin walked up to it, and as he untwisted the doorknob, i noticed him pressing his lips together, as if whoever was behind the door would cause something he wanted to avoid. which was odd, considering it could only be his sister.
i couldn’t believe my eyes. i felt like my eyeballs were going to fall out of my head, by how much i was staring already.
dang. i have a serious staring problem.
everything started to make sense, as soon as i recognized her hair in the doorway. the way keonho reacted after i showed him a picture. how could i have been so clueless?
“im just looking for something, i’ll be quick.” she said, entering the room.
she started walking towards the boxes i was standing next to.
im already dreading whats about to happen.
“oh, hi açai guy.” she said, pointing at me.
she didn’t seem happy nor bothered. just a quick acknowledgment, before she continued to dig through a box.
i was just left speechless. i gulped, unable to form a response.
my eyes kept wandering to the guys and back to her. giving keonho a death stare, whenever he seemed like he wanted to say something really badly.
“found it!— alright bye!”
“bye!” the boys replied back in unison, except for martin, who appeared to hate this situation just as much as i do.
as soon as the door shut, they all collectively break out into laughter.
“guys what the actual fuck.” i exclaim in shock, dropping the wire in my hand. “y‘all knew?”
“technically, only keonho knew. he just brought us into his evil scheme.” james explained.
“how is this an evil scheme?”
keonho furrows his eyebrows, “hello? you finding out in real time, that the girl you’ve been geeking over is your best friends sister? seems like absolute cinema to me.”
“wait no, guys this is amazing.”
“hey, speak for yourself. i am suffering.” martin huffed annoyedly.
“don’t you guys realize? her being martins sister, makes it even easier for me to.. you know.. get her.”
“oh my god, please stop talking.” martin demanded in disgust.
“you could all chime in and assist me for that matter.” i suggested further.
juhoon confirmed, “so you‘re essentially forcing us to take on this mission, where we all try to help you make y/n your girlfriend?”
“keonho, your plan backfired.”
