Start from the beginning
                                        

Your heart skipped a beat as you found him adorable. "Okay okay. I won't."

--

Throughout, you didn't end the call with Changkyun. Fortunately, you were able to ask him questions but your voice was shaking. He listened to your voice and breath for more than ten minutes, how could you not feel shy?

"I'm already here but I don't see you."

"I...think I s-saw you."

"Hmm? Really?"you turned around with your hand holding your phone near your ear and out of the blue, the water fountain behind you spurted water and after a moment, the water stopped. You finally saw Changkyun from the other side of the fountain and couldn't help but still be amazed by him. He was the epitome of perfection.

You sauntered round the fountain and headed to him while ending the call. With every step, the beating of your pounding heart got louder and louder, surely if there was something there, it could hear the cacophonous thrumming rhythm. As you stood infront of him, you scrutinized his face. Your cheeks flushed in red as you noticed his eyes were scanning you from head toe.

You glanced over to his frozen arm which was still holding onto his phone near his ear. "I already hang up,"you said as you pointed to his phone.

Changkyun blinked and cleared his throat, his arm sliding back to his waist. He gulped and glanced at you. "You...look different."

You tucked the dangling strands of hair behind your ears and bit your lower lip. "In a good way or a bad way?"

"G-good way,"responded Changkyun.

You nodded your head and heaved a sigh of relief. "What are we doing later?"you asked.

"Let's eat first."

You nodded your head once more and walked by his side as he led you to the shop which was just around the corner. He brought you to a restaurant with large mullioned windows, walnut tables with a vase of flower each, tabletop near the chef and the ambiance was accompanied with delicate live piano music.

Changkyun greeted the maitre d' with a fist bump and a pat on the shoulder. He flashed a warm smile at Changkyun but as he noticed you were behind Changkyun, his smile turned into a wide grin. You bowed at him reluctantly and figured out that they might know each other.

He led the both of you to the tabletop with bar stools alligned. Changkyun pulled out the stool for you and you thanked him softly. You scanned the other customers sitting just across you, noticing that there were a group of boys staring probably at Changkyun or at you. You clicked your head to the left when you heard Changkyun's friend spoke.

"Order?"

"Just give us the usual,"said Changkyun. 'So he ate here before?'you thought.

He shifted his gaze at you and then at Changkyun. He chuckled and averted his gaze away, saying out the order to the chef who was infront of you and Changkyun. You clicked your head to Changkyun in a split second once he left.

"You know each other?"you asked.

Changkyun nodded while sorting out the utensils for you and him. "He's the owner of this restaurant."
