Lay - Love Me Right

"Love me right."

What a puzzling phrase.

You'd been trying to uncode it all of last night and this morning after that attractive stranger in the club yesterday night whispered it into your ear before leaving.

What on earth could it mean?!

Love is a strong word and he used it on a stranger?

Did he mean it mentally? Or physically? Was it just some meaningless metaphor he was trying to pick up girls with?

"Aishh..." You mumbled to yourself, pushing the thought to the back of your head and continuing to clean tables.

All the time you were at work, you couldn't stop picturing his handsome and enticing face underneath the dim glow of the party lights in the venue. The way the colourful lights shone off of his dark, messy hair was so enticing it made your heart race just thinking about it. You couldn't help but feel paralyzed as you remembered his mysterious and audacious smirk, his lips so alluring...

"Yah! ___!" A sudden screech in your ear fizzled out the perfect image in your head. "Stop slacking!"

"J-Joesonghamnida!" You bowed slightly to your fellow co-worker, blushing hard.

"Go and wait table 5, please." She gave you a stern yet slightly playful look.

"Algesseyo." You muttered politely, shuffling past her and tucking your cloth into your apron.

Quickly, you jogged to the counter, picking up a notepad and pen. You scanned the mix of empty and full tables trying to find number 5. As you were walking towards the table, at which a lonely boy was sitting, pulling on your sweetest smile and clearing your throat.

"Annyeonghaseyo!" You smiled down at the boy, but he was too interested in his fingers on his lap. "What can I get you?"

The boy looked up and you were stunned. For a second, you were back in that club last night, face to face with the stunning stranger - this time without all the smoke, lights and heavy music. You felt yourself melting, staring at that charming smirk he had on.

"Erm, excuse me?"

You shook your head and felt your cheeks rising in temperature. The boy just looked up at you, chuckling.

"J-Joesonghamnida," You stuttered, trying to gather yourself together. "W-What can I get you?"

"I'll have a coffee, please." He chuckled, his dark and glimmering eyes stared up at you.

You quickly scribbled down letters that somehow represented the words "One Coffee" and gave him a quick and shy smile.

"I-Is that all?" You stuttered once again, your mouth becoming dry.

"Ne..." He trailed off, staring at a space on your chest. "...___."

The boy gave you an innocent smile and continued to tap his fingers on the table.

Slowly, you turned around and staggered over to the counter, your weak legs just about holding you up.

——

After composing yourself, you confidently took the boy's coffee over to him, putting on your best smile again. As soon as you got there, he looked up and smiled back, suddenly drowning your confident persona into a shy and slightly embarrassed one.

"One coffee, sir." You said shyly, placing the saucer on the table in front of him.

"Sir?" He asked, raising his eyebrow and smirking. "I'm certainly not old enough for that. You should know."
