"Are these the last boxes?" Charlie inquires of the delivery man when he puts three more parcels down.
"Yes, Mrs. Kwon. More will be delivered next week."
The nice man says his goodbye before leaving her to organize all the new merchandise that has arrived.
Charlie sits down with the inventory that shows all the items that came in today. She has to take every single one out and label it. Even if the hours are tiring, she would never complain. She feels lucky to have found this nice place to work at. As her hands glide over a new caramel brown coat from the brand she is working for, her mind instantly goes to her favorite customer. He comes in regularly, knowing exactly what he wants but always strolls through the store to find something that one of his friends might like.
Charlie puts the coat and the matching scarf aside, she does not want to risk that another employee sells it before he can have a look at it. If it doesn't suit his taste, she can always put it with the other outfits in the store. With every item, she unpacks she tries to deduce if this could interest him. She has to admit that her mind is often occupied by this handsome creature lately.
The doorbell announces a new customer coming into the shop. Charlie hurries to the front, checking her reflection in the mirror on the back of the door before putting her brightest smile on.
"Welcome to Gucci. How can I help you?"
"I think I will never get tired of hearing you say that, Mrs. Kwon."
Charlie smiles openly when she stares at the face of the man that she has just been thinking about moments ago.
"And I will never get tired of seeing you standing there like you own this shop, Mr. Kim."For almost three years now, Taehyung has been coming to this shop. There are more in the city and this one is not the closest to his home, but he likes it better than any other one in the world, and he has shopped in a few over the last years.
"Do you want to have a look through the store first, or should I get my secret stash for you immediately?"
He enjoys how playful their interaction has become over time.
"Get the good stuff. As I wait, I will just look at a few things."
"I think you should check the sunglasses. There might be a pair or two for your friends."
Taehyung chuckles. Not only does she know his preferences, but she is also attentive to what his friends might like.
He stares after her as she jogs to the back of the shop, where he guesses the overstock is held. Then he moves back to the front of the shop where all the sunglasses are placed impeccably in a glass cabinet.
Tae watches her running a few times to the back bringing more and more things for him to choose from. He smiles upon her return, eyeing the garments in her hand. "Is that everything?" "Far from it, Mr. Kim. I think you'll love these new pieces, but it'll take a few more trips to bring it all out." "Then please take your time Mrs.Kwon, I'm yours for the day."He is immersed in thoughts about how he is always so happy to come here, that he does not see her standing next to him.
"Are there any good ones, Mr. Kim?"
"I'm not sure," he replies looking at her gorgeous features, "Which one did you have in mind earlier?"
She takes the keys from her pocket and opens the vitrine.
"From what you told me about your friends. I would say, this pair would look good on Jimin and this one on Hoseok. What do you think?"
"Can I have a closer look?" He loves to watch her sliding her delicate long fingers in the white gloves before touching an item other than clothes.
"Of course. Here you go." Charlie places the pairs on the cushion that is on the counter next to them.
"I like them. You have good taste, Mrs. Kwon."
"I am vexed, Mr. Kim. You only found out now that I have good taste."
Taehyung smiles at their little comfortable exchange.
"And which one would make me look even better?" He watches her face as she slightly blushes when she replies.
"A perfect face doesn't need any accessories." Charlie clearly gulps as she feels embarrassment rising inside of her.
"But if you ever want to hide those beautiful eyes, I have already two sets waiting for you over there."
Taehyung has a hard time not staring at her. His eyes follow her every move like how she softly closes and locks the glass case or how she gracefully takes the sunglasses to place them on the bigger counter to bring the matching spectacles cases to put them in.
