You were working at your usual spot, being a waitress at the famous restaurant, "Gourmet Delights." You were sitting on your chair in the staff room, where you usually were when the restaurant was less busy. Your co-worker and best friend, Nina, burst in, excitement written all over her face.
"Guess what!" she exclaimed.
"What is it now, Nina?" you asked, slightly exasperated. Nina had a tendency to get overly excited about the smallest things.
"ENHYPEN just walked in!"
You rolled your eyes. This boy band that Nina always fusses over, renting out the whole place just for a quiet meal was typical. You re-tied your hair and walked out with your notepad, ready to face another night of pampering the rich and famous.
As you stepped into the dining area, you paused, taken aback. They were all shockingly handsome, but one of them, in particular, caught your eye. He had a boyish charm and an aura that drew you in immediately. You quickly shook off your thoughts and approached them with a professional smile.
"Good evening, gentlemen. My name is Y/N, and I'll be your waitress tonight. May I take your order?"
They were still deciding, flipping through the menu and discussing their options. The handsome guy who had caught your eye earlier finally spoke up.
"I'll have the ramen," he said with a smile that made your heart skip a beat. You noted it down.
As the others started giving their orders, they kept changing their minds, creating a chaotic atmosphere. One moment they wanted sushi, then steak, then back to sushi.
You kept your cool, patiently waiting for them to finalize their decisions. "Take your time, gentlemen. No rush."
The guy next to the handsome one, who introduced himself as Sunghoon, grinned at you. "You're really patient. We're a handful, aren't we?"
You chuckled, "I've seen worse. Besides, it's my job to make sure you have a great dining experience."
After what felt like an eternity, they finally decided on their orders. You turned to head back to the kitchen, but then you heard someone call out.
"Wait, miss!" It was the guy named Jake. "Are you a fan?"
You shook your head with a smile. "Not really. But my co-worker Nina is."
Jake's eyes lit up with mischief. "Who's her bias?"
"Jungwon?" you questioned your pronunciation, glancing at the guy who indeed looked like a cat. His friends started nudging him, and he blushed slightly.
"Seems like Jungwon's got an admirer," teased Ni-Ki, another one of the handsome guys.
Ni-Ki then turned to you, a playful glint in his eyes. "Who's your bias at first glance?"
You felt your cheeks flush. "I'd rather leave that question unanswered."
The handsome guy who ordered ramen, Heeseung, smirked. "Interesting."
You quickly excused yourself and headed back to the kitchen, feeling the heat rise to your face. Nina was busy packing up delivery orders, so she placed the last dish on your head when you told her you needed help carrying all the dishes. With three plates balanced on each arm and one on your head, you made your way back to the table.
As you approached, the guys burst into laughter. "That's some serious skill!" Sunghoon exclaimed, clapping his hands in admiration.
You carefully placed the dishes in front of each of them, maintaining your balance and composure. Heeseung was laughing the hardest, his eyes crinkling with genuine amusement. "You're something else," he said, still chuckling.
"Glad you think so," you replied with a smile. You turned to walk away but felt a hand gently grab your arm. It was Jake again.
"Are you sure you're not a fan?" he asked, his eyes twinkling with curiosity.
"Positive," you said firmly. "But I do enjoy good company."
They laughed at that, and you walked away, leaving them to enjoy their meal.
The night went on, and you occasionally checked on them, making sure they had everything they needed. They were a lively bunch, constantly teasing each other and sharing stories. You found yourself smiling more than usual, their energy infectious.
Finally, after what seemed like hours, they finished their meal and got up to leave. They thanked you for your excellent service, each one flashing you a charming smile. You watched them walk out, but Heeseung lingered behind.
He handed you a napkin, his fingers brushing against yours. "Let's hang out sometime," he said softly. You glanced down at the napkin, seeing a phone number scribbled on it, followed by his name.
You looked back up at him, your heart racing. "Sure," you replied, unable to hide your smile.
Heeseung winked at you before joining his friends. As they walked out the door, you stood there, holding the napkin like it was the most precious thing in the world. Nina came up behind you, peering over your shoulder.
"What's that?" she asked, her eyes widening when she saw the number. "No way! Heeseung gave you his number?"
You nodded, still in a daze. "Yeah. I guess he did."
Nina squealed with excitement. "You have to text him!"
You glanced at the napkin one more time before tucking it safely into your apron pocket. "Maybe I will," you said, a smile playing on your lips.
As you continued your shift, you couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement. The night had turned out to be far more interesting than you had expected, and you couldn't wait to see what the future held.
