"Guys, I gotta get back to work. Tae, after tomorrow works. Namjoon, feel free to come in and order anything you want—it's on me."
The two guys exchange glances for a few seconds before silently heading their separate ways, no goodbyes. A little while later, Namjoon walks into the café, scanning the room for a seat.
After some hesitation, he spots a familiar face and heads straight for the table across from the man, who seems to be sneaking glances your way.
"What a creep," Namjoon thinks, slightly annoyed that you hadn't noticed the guy's weird behavior. But then again, maybe you just brushed it off since he was a customer.
Time passes, and you come by to take Namjoon's order.
"One house special cake, please," he says, flashing you a smile. "Looks super yummy."
"It is. You want something to drink with that?"
"Nah, I'm good."
"You sure? C'mon, hero, you deserve a lil' reward," you tease, winking at him.
"Okay, okay, fine—a strawberry parfait then." He grins, those signature dimples showing.
"Coming right up!" you say, heading back to the register.
Namjoon feels the weight of someone's glare on him—two, in fact. The guy opposite him and even the café owner seem to be throwing daggers his way.
"She must have some kind of magic," Namjoon muses. Sure, she's pretty, but there's something else...like some low-key enchantment. People are drawn to her like bees to honey."
Even with the faint mark on your face from the slap, you were still one of the prettiest women Namjoon had ever seen.
"Maybe I'm bewitched too," he chuckles to himself. Meanwhile, Jimin, who hadn't taken his eyes off your interactions, was fuming.
'Why is she surrounded by all these wolves? First Tae, then her boss, now Namjoon. I've gotta find a way to get closer to her before it's too late.'
**In the kitchen...**
"It's ready for table 5," Yoona says. You're about to take the order, but Jin stops you.
"Yoona, take it. Y/N, help me with something."
"Okay..." Yoona replies, while you look at Jin, confused.
Yoona places the cake in front of Namjoon.
"Here's your order, sir." Namjoon glances up from his book, surprised it's not you serving him.
"Uh, thanks," he says, turning back to 'Demian'.
**Back in the kitchen...**
"Y/N, can you hand me that bowl of strawberries?" Jin asks.
You pass it to him. "Did you call me just for this?"
"No. Actually, I wanted to ask about the customer at table 5—the one you were talking to earlier."
"Oh, that's the guy who saved my life," you reveal, a shiver running down your spine. Jin's expression softens.
"I see... I'm sorry for bringing up such a bad memory."
