KOREA BOY / NEW FRIEND?

i look around for a place to sit, the person at the cash register seems nice. he told me his name was chan. cute.

i sit at an empty table and wait for my food. i couldn't be bothered waiting for a paper bag so i just decided i'll wait for a plate. i pull out my phone and go on instagram. i kind of miss korea. i miss my family. but only.. 4 more weeks until i go back.

i have many things i want to do here. so far, the sights i've seen are great. i'm still waiting to see the eiffel tower though.

my food arrives after a few more minutes and it looks amazing. i ordered waffles and some coffee and i have to say, it looks nicer than my regular breakfast. i dig in immediately, grabbing the two eating utensils by my right.

i take a bite and immediately feel happy from how good the taste of the food is. i eat quickly, the ice cream on the side of my waffles seems to be melting so i decide to eat that first. whoever thought of hot waffles and cold ice-cream is a genius.

i'm immediately distracted by two koreans. it seems to be chan and someone i don't know. a customer. i feel weird listening to their conversation like a nosy person but i can't not listen to them, they're literally next to me and i'm not a superhuman who can block out people's voices.

'aw, soonyoung.' i hear chan say. his name must be soonyoung. wow... that's really creepy of me to now know a strangers name i probably won't see again. i mentally hit myself for being such a creep and immediately try my hardest to ignore their conversation.

i realise i don't have to as that chan guy has more customers. 1 more to be exact but..

i feel my eyes fall towards soonyoung and i look at his profile. it's sharp.. but his cheeks are cute. then i see his eyes remind me of a clock... with the hands on the 2 and the 10 of the clock. so like..

10:10.

well... he is kind of a 10/10.

stop staring.

i finally realise what i'm doing and i revert my eyes away from him. but then i hear the chair in front of me being pulled out. i look up to see the same guy i was staring at. soonyoung.

"can i help you?" i say in my broken french. i know he speaks korean but i need to act like i wasn't just listening to him and chan's conversation.

he smiles big. and his eyes get smaller. god he is cute. i want him to smile more.

he sits down and i get flustered from his adorable face.

****

"soonyoung." he says. it's nice to hear him say his own name. i don't know why.. it's just nice.

"that's nice." i reply to him. i stare at his face, fuck, i can't stop staring.

"what's yours?" he asks me.

"jihoon." he takes a few minutes before speaking.

"nice." GOD HIS VOICE. it's nasally.. it's hot coming from such a cutie.

"you wanna hang out later after this?" he says as he pulls out a strawberry tart. doesn't seem like much for breakfast but i decide not to comment on it. it's so cute anyway.

"... yeah sure." i say hesitantly. he laughs.

"you don't have to say yes if you're scared of a stranger." he smiles at me. i really want to see where this goes. i'm scared.. but i want to hang out.

".. no.." i say. "i want to come." he grins.

"great!" he grabs my wrist and we immediately run out, leaving our rubbish to chan. i feel sort of bad, but this person seems more important than rubbish at the moment.

"soonyoung, slow down~!" i cry, trying to be loud enough for soonyoung to hear me. he takes no notice and when we finally reach wherever he's taking me, i look in front of me.

"welcome to my house. we won't be here for too long though, dear," he fucking called me dear holy shit. how nice are french people? or is it this guy. wow i got lucky meeting him. "we're just here to pick up the car." he finally speaks.

he steps back and i see the beautiful penthouse in front of me. fuck, this guy is rich. i don't deserve this. i'm just a tourist.

"o-okay." i say, admiring his so called house.

"let's go inside then." soonyoung says, unlocking the door and showing me inside. it's even nicer on the inside. i didn't think that was possible. this was beyond heaven in korea. i can't believe he even came from where i came from.

i step inside and smell the fresh scent of some sort of air freshener. everything about this place is refreshing. cute. just like soonyoung.

"okay, let's go, i got the keys." he guides me to his garage and his car makes a big beep as he unlocks it. it's such a nice car. he opens the door for me and i get inside the passenger seat.

"make sure to put on your seatbelt." he says as he gets into the driver seat and i laugh before putting it on.

"where do you want to go first..?" he asks me. i shrug.

"you don't know?" he laughs, still keeping his eyes on the road.

"well i have the perfect place." he smiles.

****

"jihoon?" i feel my eyelids lift slowly and i get the feeling i may have slept in his car.

how embarrassing...

i flicker my eyes over where we are and find myself seeing a beautiful sight.

"y-y-you took me to the eiffel tower?!" i yell at him as i know this place is super expensive to get into.

"of course i did. listen-" he speaks calmly and i feel my heart beating faster and faster as i hear his extremely relaxing voice.

"i know, i know, we're not a couple, but we can fool this old town." pink flushes over my face and i feel myself heating up. i just nod and get out of the car before i can't take it anymore. i could've kissed him.

he wraps an arm around me and smiles.

"why don't we fool the tourists?"

oh but...

you've already fooled this tourist to fall in love.

this is not good.
