Me: you forgot your bell

I finally decided to text him after half an hour thinking about all my choices. I didn't have to wait for long, the answer came back after a few minutes and totally ripped me from my thoughts.

Him: I need to work right now. When you're closing?

Me: 4 PM

I was waiting for his texts with high hopes. I still can't believe I'm texting him.

Him: I only can come at 4:30 or on Thursday

Me: i can wait

Today's day was long, exhausting, and I was bored most of the time. I only had a few customers, and how I expected, not young people.

It was already 4 PM, I left the door unlocked and I was sitting on my chair behind the counter, waiting for the boy to come in, excited to see his angelic face again.
I couldn't stop thinking that he's recording music, I really wanted to hear his voice while rapping, he's only talking with his soothing voice and I'm melting.

I was playing on my phone waiting impatiently when he came in, my jaw dropped.
He must've been somewhere important because he was wearing a suit, dark blue with white thin stripes. His undercut was covered and his hair was falling down on his forehead, slightly parted in the middle, showing his forehead a little bit.
I was never doubting he could pull off a nice suit, but I didn't expect this.

"It doesn't have to be this formal," I chuckled.

"It is pretty formal," he smirked "uhm-family photo shooting," he explained quickly, he put both of his hands on the counter, leaning closer.

"Hope they turn out well," I smiled and put the bell in front of him, "it's alright, no paying," I smiled at him.

"No I'll pay," he started to pull out his wallet from his pocket with one hand, his other was still on the counter.

"No," I put my hand on him, he looked at me immediately, I moved it away slowly.

"You really want me to come again buying stuff all the time? I can't just have free stuff," he chuckled softly.

"My cash register is closed already so you have no other chance but walk away without paying," I smiled softly.

"Can I ask you out on dinner instead of paying?"

And my mind stopped.

HE.
Asking.
ME.
Out.

U N R E A L

"Y-yeah," I stuttered. There's no way I can go out with him.

"Let's say," he leaned closer and started talking more quietly, "Friday, I'll pick you up after your shift, 4PM?"

"Sounds perfect," I smiled, my hands were trembling, that was smooth.

"It's a date then," he winked at me, taking his bell from the counter, leaving the shop. Of course. Leaving me speechless for the third time.

I have a date with fucking god. There's no way I'm this lucky.

"I asked her out," I said suddenly when I was sitting with other members around a square table in our kitchen, eating dinner.

Chan dropped his fork after hearing words that escaped my mouth.
"You know you can't do that."

"Why?" I protested. All of them were quiet all of the sudden, listening to our conversation.

"Because it'll be everywhere, twitter, instagram, google, newspaper. You can't pull her into this when she doesn't know who you are," he said quietly.

"I'm not stupid, I'll invite and cook for her here," I said confidently.

But after I said those words everyone around the table started laughing loudly at the same time.

"You will what?" Jisung asked between the laughs.

"You heard," I said quietly, hoping no one could hear but they did.

"When?" Hyunjin asked after a while.

"Friday 4PM, will you please leave the dorm for a couple of hours?" I looked at all of them, all of them were still smiling at me.

"We want to meet a girl, then we'll leave. If she doesn't know you, she won't know us," Hyunjin chuckled. That's what I didn't want.

"What's her name?" Felix asked, and he totally ruined my mood. Because I asked a girl out without knowing her name.

"Uhm-I I don't know," I said quietly, looking down at my plate.

There's something about her that makes me wanna come closer. Maybe it's because she doesn't know me, she doesn't scream my name on the street, not freaking out, she thinks I'm an ordinary boy, treating me like one. That's pulling me closer to her.
