 “hello and welcome to ihop,” the bored waitress said, refusing to look away from the paper at the front desk. taeyong was getting annoyed, not only from the backpack on his back but also from the rude woman who denied to even look at him. he only wanted to see some-what of a nice face at the start of the morning. “hi,” he started, but the woman stopped him. “if you’re going to ask about the special, at least bring someone with you. it’s not for singles,” she interrupted, continuing to write something down. 

 taeyong knew that he looked like a broke college student, but for the woman to not even look at him? did he reek of broke college student that bad? he pulled out his phone to text someone but the woman ushered the person behind him to the table and begun to take them to an empty table. are you fucking kidding me? 

 he sighed and began to walk out of the pancake house before another person walked in. his hair was jet black and he, also, looked like he hadn’t slept for hours. the same woman walked back to the desk almost more exasperated than before. in instinct, taeyong pulls the boy who walked in by the sleeve. 

 “wh-” “just pretend to be my date.” “date?!” 

 taeyong smirked walking up towards the woman at the front desk. “i got myself a date, so how about that discount?” he had no idea someone’s face could get anymore annoyed. she said nothing and waved them to follow her as she sat them down at a table. “what would you like to drink?” she said, refusing to look at the two of them. “water,” they both said in unison. 

 ah the life of a poor college student.
