Ungrateful Fan

2

"I mean, nice to see you again. You look pretty today." He stretched his hand just like how he did yesterday at the fan signing event. The goddess in front of him blushed, tucked her lips with her teeth to hide her giddiness. Finally, their hands touched nonchalantly. Feeling her soft skin gripping his hand was enough for him to cut all his heartstrings as it freely fell hard.

He manly pulled a chair adjacent to him with his strong arms and confidently stated, "sit beside me." His composure was perfect, he looked handsome in his black hoodies paired with his bright grin. Somehow, she felt intimidated as her face grew redder, if that was even possible.

The atmosphere was one way or another awkward, well it was natural since he was too straight forward that made her put some walls between them. "I'll cut the steak for you." He mumbled humbly that made her a little jittery as she bowed her head down as sign of thankfulness.

Looking at his arms filled with veins, she meticulously studied his every glide against the meat. She then wore the prettiest smile with her heart racing in awe. Their eyes once collided as he lovingly stared at her. She's the most precious when she smiles. He thought.

Watching her eat the food he cut assured him that everything was going well as he couldn't help himself and out of nowhere held her hand. "You wanna hang out tonight?" She was taken aback as she almost choked. They eventually laughed together, both eyes mirroring each other's happiness.

"Hello?" She waved her hand in front of him as he was lost in his imagination, mouth agape but somewhat smiling. Snapping her fingers, he finally withdrawn from his day dream. She shook her head and twitched her lips murmuring, "you really are dumb."

Hanbin's mom just giggled with the bickering of these two young souls. She's quite sure her son was starting to develop some feelings to her. "He's really grown up." She smirked with a knowing heart. With that, the two best friends continued sharing stories of their lives as they ate while Hanbyul was busy focusing on her plate.

He felt the embarrassment he felt yesterday making a comeback, covering his whole body, it was in his blood flowing through his veins. Finger tips were scratching his scapl with an uncomfortable grin on his face as he bowed to her, if only he could eject himself from earth and fly to the space to escape this humiliation. He immediately grabbed the glass of water and emptied it. All his sweat was cold and irritating, as if he was splashed with tons of toxic chemical.

She looked at him with her verdict eyes, his strangeness made her roll her eyes as she ignored him eventually. She then joined the two moms in their late 40's. The three girls chuckled altogether with the delightful conversation. She was even shining when she was talking about "Bobby," how good looking and talented the lad was. Her praises for him was beyond heartbreaking for Hanbin.

Then there he was, eating alone as he just fed Hanbyul with the meat he cut. He kept his head low as much as he could to avoid her gaze. Why did he do so well in his imagination but in real life, he couldn't even do anything decent? His chest was sulking as he felt the level of his pettiness sky rocketed that if he was to join a petty competition, he'll surely get the gold medal.

He needed to regain his game when he saw the waiter coming with a sparkling wine that his mom ordered. He poured some to his glass then to the ladies. Finally he took a deep breath and gently smiled, hiding how nervous he was as he stood and poured the drink to her muse's wine glass. However, the heavens were not on his side as the bottle's perspiration was the reason for him to slip it from his grip. Her eyes widened together with the continuous flowing red aromatic liquid splashing to her bulky brown coat. The bottle eventually landed the floor as it broke into pieces together with his ego.
