My Boyfriend is a Mannequin (EXO Xiumin Fanfic)

Chapter 10

The next day, at the café

"Annyeonghaseyo!" Everyone bowed when a customer came in and continued doing their work.

"The owner's son is coming for a visit today." A waitress said.

"I heard he's really good-looking! I can't wait to see him." Another waitress squealed.

"Hey guys! Focus on your work. But maybe a glance of him wouldn't kill." Another sunbae unnie started.

I was just standing behind the cashier counter sighing and rubbing my eyes because of crying too much yesterday. It was swollen but I hope my make up could covered it.

Another customer came in and the girls were squealing out loud.

"Look at his face. He must be the owner's son. :O"

"What's his name? So damn handsome! XD"

"Should I talk to him? You go first! =0.0="

That guy walked in and ordered.

"One iced Americano, please!"

I looked up to see that person ordered. Luhan. I frowned at him. "Why are you here?"

"I want Iced Americano." He gave me his eye-smile.

"At this cold weather. Iced?" I furrowed my brows at him.

"AHHHHH! Jihyeee! You look so adorable when your face is like that! xD" He pulled my head closer and nudged it with his head.

"Yaahhh! What are you doing? I'm working!" I scolded him quietly but he laughed it off.

"Isn't it obvious? I came to see you! And ... my Iced Americano."

I entered the order and realised something.

"Luhaannn!! You have money?" I widened my eyes at this curiosity.

"I have you! My lil cash machine!" He said, patting my head and proceeded to his seat.

After he walked away, the waitress all came to me and bombarded me with a lot of questions.

"You know him?"

"Is he the owner's son?"

"He's so handsome and perfect."

The question continued and few other customers came in. Thank goodness. I thought.

"One iced mocha, please. I'm Chanyeol by the way." His eyes were large and he gave me a really wide grin.

"Hi. One iced mocha coming right up and that'll be 7500 won." I said formally.

"You won't tell me your name? Haha! It's alright. I'll know it sooner or later." His eyes widen and made it even larger.

I raised a brow at him. "Huh?"

"I'm the owner's son of this café."

I looked at the manager and he gave me an approving look. That guy was indeed the owner's son. I shifted my gaze back to him.

"And you're telling me this because ...?" I gave a 'dude go straight to the point' look at him.

"Means I will know your name and I don't have to pay. Thank you." He said and marched inside to the next to me. He stared at me, our faces an inch close.

He began, "You've been crying! Is it really hard to work in this café?" I shook my head to tell him 'no'.

"Well then, if you need a buddy to talk to, here's my number." He slipped a small piece of paper in my pocket and smiled before he went inside the room for staff only.

I stared at him going with bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Luhan saw the whole scene and busy texting Xiumin to inform him.

Luhan: Xiumin!!! I'm at the café and you need to come right now!
Xiumin: Why should I? I don't want anything to do with Jihye!
Luhan: You have to. The café's owner's son is flirting with her.
Xiumin: WHAT?! Why didn't you tell me sooner? Aishh, this girl.
Luhan: He's Park Chanyeol and really good-looking. OMO! I think they're gonna kiss.
Xiumin: Shut it! The ADDRESS NOW!
Luhan: I thought you said you didn't wanna care about her anymore? *smirks*
Xiumin: THE ADDRESS!

After Luhan texted him the address, he sat down and leaned back, feeling as proud as ever that he proved Xiumin indeed was caring for Jihye after all. It's just that he didn't know it himself.

Someone barged in the door and it was Xiumin. The girls starting squealing and smacking each other again. Apparently, today happened to have so many handsome guys coming into the café.

He stormed towards the cash register and grabbed Jihye's wrist, pulling her outside.

"Did that Chanyeol guy kiss you? He flirted with you didn't he? What the hell, Jihye?!" He began nagging.

"Why do you care in the first place?!" Jihye shouted aloud.

"I DON'T!" Xiumin shouted even louder than hers.

I'm not supposed to be like this. I reminded myself this is only a fake relationship. I shouldn't be feeling this way or feeling anything. Jihye reminded herself.

"About yesterday ..." Xiumin's voiced trailed off.

"It's okay, Xiumin. I heard everything but it's alright. After all, it's just a fake relationship right? If you're starting to feel like a human, then my job is accomplished. That's why we did this ... being together and all ..." Jihye quickly told him and turned her back to him. Jihye didn't want him to see her feeling down.

"I'm glad you think like that!" Xiumin blurted. Oh shit. That didn't come out as what I expected.

I wanted to correct what I said but Jihye began.

"Yeah! I'm glad I did." Jihye said, biting her lips. "Now I need to get back to work!" She faked a laugh.

She waved goodbye but Xiumin stopped her.

"WAIT!!" Xiumin smiled.

"Before you go, call me your boyfie!"

"WHAT?! You know we're just faking this right?"

"Shut up, Jihye ... just call me your boyfie. Your. Cute. Little. Baozi. Boyfie!" Xiumin acted aegyo and continued,

"Just call me your boyfie already, you know I'm not good at aegyo!"

"Are you kidding me, boyfie? You did real good!" Jihye blurted out and laughed loudly but Xiumin was standing there grinning widely at her.

"Well I'm not kidding, my wifey!" Xiumin mentioned, still smiling at her.

"WIFEY?!" Jihye stared at him, giving him, weird looks.

"Yeah! Wifey!"

He came closer and embraced Jihye into a hug, making her face blushed.

He hugged even tighter and whispered in her ear, "I'm glad that you're smiling now. My wifey."

"I'm glad you did it for me, boyfie!"

Jihye caressed his hair, still hugging but she kept reminding herself.

"Jihye, it's just a friendly act that Xiumin did this. He doesn't actually ... like me."
