     I pull into the parking lot and shut off my car. I give myself a quick once over to make sure I look alright. Deciding that it's too late to worry about it now, I walk in and look around to find Jaehwan. I see him sitting in a corner booth, flipping through a menu.
     He looks up from the menu and waves at me with a bright smile. I wave back and walk over to him.
     "I was beginning to think you wouldn't show up," he laughed as I slid into the booth, sitting across from him.
     "Sorry about being so late. Sanghyuk insisted that we go to the store before the date," I reply, sneakily admiring him from over the menu.
     He widens his eyes and looks up. "A d-date? Is that what this is?," he asks with an obvious blush on his face.
     I chuckle and think how could someone be so cute as I say,"Well yeah. What else would it be?"
     "I-I don't know," he stutters, turning a brighter shade of red and looking down.
     As I am about to say something I hear someone or something squeal and see the barista from the cafe, Hakyeon, run over and pull Jaehwan into a tight embrace.
     "You didn't tell me you were coming in today. Oooh, who's this? He's cute. Wait....I recognize him from the café. OH MY GOD IS THIS THE ONE YOU KISSED? AND THEN WOULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT? I can see why you wouldn't shut up. He is super cute and looks like he would be a good kisser," they tan boy says as super speed,"Oh and my name is Hakyeon and I will be serving you tonight," he quickly added.
     "Shut up about that," Jaehwan says, trying to hide his blushing face but it's still obvious because his ears are turning bright red. "Just take our drink order like a good waiter and go away. But you already know what I want to drink."
     "I'll take a cherry Vanilla Coke please," I say while looking at the cute boy in front of me.
     "I'll go put your order in and be back soon to take your order," Hakyeon says. Before walking away he leaned over and whispered something into Jaehwans ear, causing him to look at him with wide eyes and hit him before covering his face with his hands.
     Once Hakyeon was out of hearing range I looked at Jaehwan and asked,"What did he say to you that made you react like that?"
     "Oh, it was nothing. He was just teasing me. And don't listen to what he says. I did talk about it, but not much."
     "Don't worry. I don't mind you talking. Some how my friends found out and wouldn't stop teasing me."
     "I'm back with your drinks. Do we know why we want to eat? Well, I know what Jaehwan wants later, but that'll have to wait," he says with a wink.
     "I'll take a bacon cheeseburger," I say, handing Hakyeon my menu.
     "That's what Jaehwan always gets. Okay so two bacon cheeseburgers it is. Anything else?"
     "Nope. I think we're good."
     "Okay. It'll be right out." He grabs our menus and walks away.
     I look at Jaehwan and notice him staring at me. Our eyes meet for a second and I quickly avert my gaze to make it seem like I was just looking around the restaurant.
     After looking around the place I look back at Jaehwan, who was still staring at me. I laugh softly when he notices that I noticed him staring at me and hides his face behind his hands.
     "Sorry," he says, moving his hands away from his face,"you're just really nice to look at."
     It was my turn to blush. "You aren't too bad to look at yourself," I say as I feel my face heat up from blushing. He immediately looks down and smiles upon hearing this.(they are so awkward, it's cute and cringey)
     We sit in an awkward silence for what seems like forever but it's really only about two minutes before I start asking questions to get to know him better. I learned that he has two older brothers and really wants to be a singer.
     We talk for about fifteen minutes before the food arrives and we start eating.
     "This is really good," I say, taking a bite of the monster sized burger.
     "Mhmm. This is my favorite place to eat," Jaehwan says with a full mouth.
     We finish our meal and Hakyeon brings out the bill.
     "Alright. I'll leave the bill right here for you," he says with a smile before laying it down and walking away. I reach over and grab it before Jaehwan even had the chance to.
     "Oh my god," I say as I open the holder.
     "What? Is there something wrong with it?," Jaehwan asks as he reaches across the table and takes it from my hands. His face turns ghostly white and then bright red once he saw what his friend had put inside. "I'm gonna kill him."
