Falling In Love(UNIQ Story)

THIRTY - FIVE

After a week, it was already monday. Wenhan and I went there early since Ms. Laticia said that she'll teach us first on how to do the things that she'll be assigning to us before we open.

"Good morning!" Ms. Laticia greeted us while she was arranging the tables and chairs as we open the door even if the sign says 'close'.

"Good morning Ms. - "

"Opps. Just call me Laticia or any nicknames you can come up with my name." She giggled. She reminds me of Joy in the movie Inside Out.

She taught us how to operate the counter, how the tables are numbered, how to use the drinks dispensers and stuff.

We opened at 9am and Wenhan and I are ready.

Most customers are parents and kids. Sometimes teenagers with their boyfriends.

We happily served them and they left the store with a smile on their faces.

It was afternoon and the store was empty. We took the chance to clean since there isn't enough people.

I was cleaning the table when I heard the door opened.

"Good afternoon welcome to-"

"Tricia!" Seongyoun greeted and ran towards to hug me.

"Aigoo! Can't breathe!" I said.

The four guys greeted us and I saw Wenhan came out from the kitchen.

"Is he torturing you?" Yixuan ask with concern in his voice, making sure that Wenhan will hear it.

"Yah! I'm not doing anything!" Wenhan pouted and Yixuan chuckled.

They found a place to sit after they chose some flavors of their desired ice cream.

"Did you saw the guy a while ago? He was proposing to his girlfriend!" I heard Seongyoun exclaimed with happiness.

"Seongyoun, are you gay? Do you like how the guy proposed or do you like the guy?" Yibo said with a smirk.

"Aish! Umma! Your maknae!" Seongyoun poted, obviously doing some cuteness to make Yixuan weak.

Yixuan chuckled and said, "Yibo, stop."

"You're not convincing. hyung." Sungjoo said as he ate a spoonful of his ice cream.

I went to their table if they wanted anything else. I acted like I didn't know them since it is part of my job to act equally to all of our customers.

"Hi sir! Do you want anything else?" I approached.

"Can I have water, please? Make it four. Thank you!" Sungjoo said with a wink after his sentence.

Aish. Flirt.

I was walking towards them, holding a tray of waters when suddenly . . .

"Opps! Sorry." I heard the girl said was laughing, together with her friends.

Water scattered in the floor, glasses were broken into million pieces.

The boys immediately help me stood up and Sungjoo saw that my forehead was bleeding.

Laticia went to where we were and apologized to the girl who tripped me.

"You should apologize since she almost spil the water to me." She pridely said, flipping her hair.

They went out and made their 'success' laugh while walking.

The bous helped me cleaned up but I said I'll do it with Wenhan since they're the customers and we're the employees.

Wenhan was picking up bits and pieces of the glass while I was wiping the floor.

"Who was that?" Seongyoun said with an annoyed look.

"Probably one of your - or my haters." I said.

"Why would they hate you? You're with us." Sungjoo said, probably reasoning out.

"Exactly! Because I am with you guys. Girls who loves you hate it when you're with a girl. It's just like a relationship. They think that they're the ones who deserve you guys more than the others." I explained.

They were silent for a moment. After Wenhan and I cleaned everything up, I went out from the kitchen and saw that they already left.

"It's not your fault." I heard Wenhan said, standing behind me.

"Maybe I should look for an apartment for the mean time." I suggested.

Wenhan looked at me with an 'are-you-kidding-me' kind of look.

"What?" I ask innocently.

He hugged me, saying sorry that my life is beginning to mess because of popularity that I'm gaining little by little because of them.

"I'm fine, Wenhan. Don't worry." I smiled shyly.

Our shift was done and we're on our way home. It was raining hard when we got out of the store.

Wenhan hail a cab and we rode immediately.

I was tired but at the same time, I was happy to have my allowance for the day.

We arrive in the unit after several minutes.

We were soaking wet since we didn't bring umbrella.

It was so cold that my lips begin to shake.

We arrived in our room and knock simultaneously.

Yixuan opened the door and he let us in inmediately. Wenhan said that I'll take a bath first and he'll just wipe for the mean time until I finish.

My head was beginning to ache but good thing I took a bath quickly.

When I got out, I saw Wenhan, standing in the door frame, his legs was in a number 4 position, head bowed down and was playing something in his phone. He was shirtless and all of his muscles were appearing to their respective places.

I was flushed pink when I saw him.

He felt my presence and looked at me. I looked away and went towards him to get out of the room.

He held my hand when I pass by to him.

"Are you ok? I mean no headaches or what?" He ask.

"I-I'm good. Thank you." I answered, head bowed down.

He lifted my chin for me to look in his eyes.

He slowly went closer . . .
And closer . . .
And closer . . .

Our lips touched softly and gently. It was just a soft and short kiss.

He withdrew slowly and smiled shyly.

"Your lips were, uh, pink and shaky. Uhm, go ahead. Hyung is making soup." He said and went inside the bathroom, scratching is nape.
