Starting With You. /S.Coups x Reader/

6. A Little Help.

Taerin's Pov.

"It's not that bad!" He exclaimed, preparing the table. I placed down the dishes and he came back with cups.

"Don't worry. I'll pray." I bursted out into laughter, taking my own seat. "Odd question..You're a K-Pop idol right?" I asked, taking a bite into my egg.

"Yep." He replied.

"So..How many guys are in your group?" I didn't want to be eating in silence, so I thought I'd be the first to ask.

"Well 13 of us, including me." He replied, then taking a sip from his drink.

"Oh. That's a lot." I widened my eyes, surprised with the number.

"Yeah. I know. But it's fun with them." He smiled. He appreciated his friends a lot.

"Who's the oldest?" I tilted my head.

"Me." He said, taking another bite.

"Oh wow. You seem pretty childish for the oldest." I teased him and he furrowed his eyebrow at me, upset.

"So what!?" He huffed.

"I'm joking. Do you not have like..a shoot to attend or something?" I finished my plate as I stepped out of my chair.

"Just because you see us K-Pop idols do things like that..doesn't mean we're always busy." He laughed. I went to the sink to wash my dishes.

"Well, I was just suspecting." I shrugged, the water splashing over the plate.

"Then, to answer your question. I infact do not..But I guess I'll have to show my face before they start to panic." He appeared beside me.

"You know..You've got fluffy hair. Is that natural?" I leaned on the counter staring at his hair.

"Nope. Stylists..You know-" He didn't explain so well but I understood what he meant.

"Yeah." I nodded, turning back around. "Uh..I'm kind of heading to work soon." I looked at the notification on my phone whilst I mentioned it to him.

"Oh- Well- Then I guess I'll just leave with you." He ran his hand through his hair. I agreed and we got prepared.

I finished changing and I wanted to go check on him. "Hey Seungcheol..Are you ready?" It was weird calling a K-Pop idol as if I'd known him for a long time.

"Uh.. I kind of need help." He awkwardly chuckled.

"With what?" I was still standing behind the door.

"The zipper on my hoodie isn't going up." He told his problem.

"Then come out." I raised a brow, curious on what he meant with it.

"Haha.." He mumbled. "I don't have a shirt- and it doesn't want to go down anyways!" He bursted out with anger, as I heard the zipper clang with his fingers.

"Uh..I'll come in then." I gulped, quite nervous with what I was about to do. When I opened the door, his jacket was halfway up..Why does he wear no shirt underneath?!

"Look- I'll explain-" He was close to crying out of embarrassment.

"Save it." I showed my hand to his face. I really ignored his torso as I saw the zipper jammed together. I moved it around until it zipped down. "You're welcome." I instantly spun around. My face was sweating from how much I was urging to look.

"Thanks..Thing is..I got my shirt dirty so.." He tried covering up the problem.

"Yeah yeah! Just- shut up!" I waved my hand, exiting the room. I did as much as I could to avoid the weird thought just flowing through. I fixed my hair and then waited on the couch for him.

Later.

"I'm ready." He finally came out.

"Hurry up. I've got to be there in like 15 minutes." I glanced at my clock.

"Yup. Let's get out of here." He stepped out first and then I locked the door. We were speed walking to my workplace..Luckily it wasn't so far from my home.

"I'm here~!" I opened the door to see my colleague standing behind the counter.

"Hey! Oh- H-Hey-!?" She was shocked to see Seungcheol with me.

"He'll leave. Won't you?" I turned my head at him and he nodded awkwardly.

"Yeah-" He smiled, giving me a wave. He fixed his cap and mask before leaving. After watching him off, I talked to my colleague again after cutting her off.

"You- I?! Then- How?! When? He- Wha-!" She wanted to say so many things ay once but she couldn't explain it so well.

"Exactly what you told me." I raised my shoulders at her. "I guess- I was a little nicer." The way it showed in my head wasn't..at all what I said to her.

"Great! It seems like he's happy being around you." She gave me a thumbs up and I laughed.

"Sure, Sure." I rolled my eyes, going behind the counter to assist her.

"By the way right?! My boyfriend literally gave me flowers and proposed to me!" She squealed as I finally noticed.

"Wait- what?!" I stopped to look at her.

"I'm 33 now!..I can marry of course." She smacked me lightly on the shoulder.

"No! I mean- WHY DID YOU NOT TELL ME?!" I grabbed her shirt.

"Hehe!" She stuck out her tongue at me and pulled herself away. I scoffed, shocked at her childish attitude. "Anyways. Let's get to work." She finished wiping the counter and prepared the things needed.

"Hello~ Welcome to Seoul Coffee~" I grinned, looking at the group of girls in front of the counter. They glanced up to the board and then to me. They were incredibly beautiful..Their looks were out of this world in my opinion.

"Hi! Could I get one Latte? And a smoothie!" She struck out a finger to show how many and I jotted the order down.

"Of course! Is that all?" I saw that the others didn't want drinks.

"Mhm!" She nodded.

"That'll be 3,000 won." I clicked on the cashier as she prepared the money for me. I took it and went to go shake up the drink.
