[Her] Beautiful Dream [BTS Fanfiction] ✓

XXXIII

Chapter Thirty-three

"A cup of caramel macchiato for this beautiful lady!" masiglang sabi ko sa magandang babaeng customer sabay lapag ng order niyang drink sa mesa.

She smiled shyly at me, obvious that she understood me as she said, "Komawo." While putting some strand of her hair behind her ears.

Hindi ko tuloy napigilang mas mapangiti pa. The good thing about serving and waiting people was when I could make them smile with simple talks and little honest compliments because aside from giving them their orders, I could also see their sweet smiles. Gustong-gusto ng mga customers na pinupuri sila. I often did it to ladies. Sa mga lalaki ay pinipili ko lang ang pinupuri ko, iyong mga bata lang at saka mga senior citizens.

Of course, some of them didn't understand me at all, meron namang iba na tuwang-tuwa talaga.

May mga lalaki namang hindi ko maiwasang ismiran sa tuwing nagpapakita sila ng obvious na interest sa akin, that was for those guys who were brave and thick-faced enough to flirt with me because most of the guys were shy when I was around.

As for my fanboys, they would still go here every Sunday and were still very makulit.

I was busy getting customers' orders when I heard Aly call me in a hush tone. Nilingon ko ang kinaroroonan niya. Nasa counter siya at mukhang napakaraming oras para mag-phone lang. Sabagay, wala masyadong customers ngayon at saka hindi madalas lumabas si manager Kang sa office niya.

"'Lika muna rito dali! May papakita ako sa'yo!" aniya habang nasa loob ng counter at sinesenyasan akong lumapit.

Tinapos ko muna ang isang customer bago lumapit sa kaniya. I leaned on the counter as I put down the order list for her to take and waited for her. She was holding her phone and was squealing because of something from it. Sanay na ako sa kaniya, may mga pagkakataon nga sa bahay na bigla na lang siyang sisigaw at magtatalon dahil sa kung anong nasa phone niya.

Hay, hindi siya natatakot na mahuli ni manager Kang na gumagamit ng phone during work hours kasi nasa staff room lang naman ito madalas.

"I think may bagong pakulo ang BTS ngayon. Look, 'di ba noong nakaraan sina Namjoon, Jungkook at Taehyung ang nag-post? Ngayon may post naman ang ibang members!" she giddily told me as if I would be interested.

I rolled my eyes and exhaled a deep sigh. Here was one, a very loyal and solid ARMY that couldn't be stopped.

Advantage talaga ng mga fans here in Korea, updated sila sa mga online posts ng mga K-Pop idols and I didn't know if that was a thing I should hate for, kasi kabilang si Aly sa mga fans na sobrang hilig bantayan ang posts ng lahat ng K-Pop Idols.

Tamad ko siyang pinanood na mukhang hindi man lang napapansin ang disgusto sa mukha ko dahil sa topic na gusto niyang pag-usapan namin. At talagang inabala niya ang trabaho ko para lang dito.

"Look Hoseok's post!" She immediately showed me her phone. I noticed her having the comfort in calling BTS in their real names, which only strongly attested how die-hard of a fan she was. At kahit na ayaw kong makita iyon ay wala na akong nagawa dahil nasa mismong harap ko na ang screen ng phone niya. Halos magkanda-duling nga ako sa sobrang lapit.

Bahagya akong lumayo at pinakatitigan ng maayos ang sinasabi niyang post ni J-Hope. Nandoon ang litrato ng pamilyar na… the familiar pair of house slippers that had that pink character from Trolls movie designed on top. House slippers ko iyon noong nasa bahay pa ako ng BTS. Iyon ang ginagamit ko kahit na inis na inis ako sa kulay. And fine, Princess Poppy was cute but I just couldn't understand why she should be in pink?!

"Ito yung caption niya, ta-translate ko ha…" She clicked the translation and we both read it, "Miss, I can hear your cute heavy yet calm footsteps around the house even without you here. Please come back." Though, she read it out loud while I just read it mentally. Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa. Her eyes were shaded with both confusion and excitement. My eyes filled with emptiness and hollowness. "Grabe! Ang intense ng mga posts nila!" ani Aly na tipong kinikilig bago ilayo sa akin ang phone niya.
