The Day We Met

Chapter Two

[Ashley POV]

"Okay, here is the americano and latte that you ordered! Thank you and have a good day." I said to the customer while giving them their coffees. Not only am I a student, but I also work full time at a cafe near my campus so I can earn some money myself. My dad still sends me some money to help with my schooling tuition and meals, but I wanted to make some money myself. I usually work everyday of the week. The only days where I don't have any classes are Fridays, so I am either off that day or I do full day shifts. You know, the more hours, the more you get payed.

I'm still at that point in my life where I seriously have no idea what I want to do. Normally students figure out what they want to do for the rest of their lives their 3rd year in college. Me? I'm stuck in the mud and can't move. I really don't know where to go from here, so for now, I'm just taking the general classes and also I'm working on getting my GPA up. It's a stressful life for me. Work is the one place where I feel welcomed and feel kind of happy. I really like seeing and making people happy. Even though it's a lot of work, it still helps me feel relaxed.

It wasn't too much of a rush hour because it was about 3:30 in the afternoon. I was busy cleaning the counters behind the register and wiping down the machines as well.

"Yo Ashley, can you also wipe the tables outside too?" My boss, Leo said to me. "No problem boss". I replied back to him. Leo is the only thing that I have closest to a friend here in Korea. I met him the first day I came into this cafe and have gotten to know him better because I would always come here to study and get food and drinks. There are other workers too here that I have met and all, but Leo would come to closest to a friend for me. He knows what's going on in my life and covers for me whenever I need it. We were pretty close I guess you can say.

As I was wiping down the tables, I see a dark, black van moving into the parking lot. Once the car turned off, four guys wearing hats, face masks so I can't see their faces, and sunglasses. I didn't want to keep staring at them because I found that really creepy and all so I continued to wipe the tables until they came closer to me.

"Hello. Welcome." I said to them as they were entering the cafe. They all each bowed politely to me and continued walking inside. I follow them into the cafe and quickly get to the counter to help Leo with the orders. "What would you like to get?" Leo asked them. One of the guys pulled down his mask and ordered all the drinks for them. After they ordered they went down to sit and wait for their drinks. I caught a glimpse of the guy who ordered face before he pulled his mask back up. He had a really sharp jaw line and skinny face figure, but I couldn't see his eyes because he was still wearing his glasses. "Why would you wear sunglasses inside? He was pretty handsome though." I thought to myself. I realized what I was thinking and quickly shook that out of my head and finished making their drinks.

After they were all done, I brought them all out to where they were sitting. "Here you guys go. Please enjoy." I said to them. "Thank you." They each said before quickly going out of the cafe. The guy who ordered the drinks was the last to leave, but before he left, he stopped in the doorway and looked back at me. We stared at each other for about 5 seconds and it was like we were the only two in the room. I couldn't really tell if he was looking at me or not because he had his glasses on. He then left to catch up to the other guys.

"That was really weird. Never experienced that before." I thought to myself. Again I shook it off and I quickly returned to work.

We finally finished work at 9:30 and we were leaving the cafe. "Good work today Ashley." Leo said to me as we were walking. "Thanks Leo. You too. Are you heading home now?" I asked. "Yup. Want a ride home?" He asked. "No thanks. I'm going to walk home. It's not that far." I said. I really did like walking because it's usually my time to think. "Okay. Well call me if anything happens." Leo said before going into his car. "Okay, I will. See you later." I said as he was driving off.

As I was walking, I kept thinking about my mom and how she was doing. I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking so bumped into someone on accident. "Oh shoot, I'm so sorry." I said. "It's fine." I heard a guy's voice say. I looked up at him. He was wearing the same hat as the guy from the cafe, and he had the same face features as the guy, except he wasn't wearing sunglasses or his face mask anymore. I could totally tell for some reason it was the guy from earlier. At least, I thought it was him. I could be wrong considering that there are a lot of guys here that looks the same.

We just staring at each other until I realized we were just standing and staring. "Oh... um sorry." I said and turned around to leave. "Wait...uh." He said. I turned back to face him and gave him a questioning look. "Umm.. What's your name?" He asked sounding really nervous. "Oh um.. it's Ashley." I said. He looked at me with a smile. "That's a pretty name." He said and then quickly covered his mouth after realizing what he said. I was pretty shocked that he said that as well. "Oh.. thanks." I laughed. "You?" I asked. "Oh.. you don't know who I am?" He said a little surprised. "No, I'm sorry. I don't think we met or anything before. Should I know who you are?" I asked very confused. "Oh umm.. no. Never mind. I'm Sehun." He said. I nodded to him and he nodded back.

All of a sudden, we both hear screaming coming from down the street. "Ahh shit." He said then quickly puts on his face mask that he took out of his pocket. "Um, I have to go, but I'll see you around, okay?" He said before running off. He was a good distance away from me before I said anything. "Wait-" I was going to shout that at him, but these girls came out of nowhere and ran past me and bumping into me. "What the heck was all that about?" I thought to myself.

I was going to walk away, when I saw a card on the ground. "Hmm.. did I drop this by mistake?" I thought to myself as I picked it up. I read what it said on it. I then was a little shocked because I realized that it wasn't mine. It was Sehun's ID card...

"Omg.. What do I do? It's too late to give it back. I guess I'll just head home for now." I said out loud to myself. As soon as I got home, I put his ID on my desk and got ready for bed. After taking a shower and my hair was dry, I jumped right into bed and stared at the ID. Right before I went to sleep, I was doing a lot of deep thinking about him.

"Why did he look so surprised when I said I didn't know him? Should I know him? Do I know him from somewhere?" I thought to myself. I was actually really curious about him so I was wondering if he was famous in Korea or something. "Ayee.. no way I would meet someone famous right before my eyes. I was so curious that I wanted to look him up to see if my thoughts were right. "Let's see. Se-hoon. I think that's how you spell his name. Wait.. duh. I have his ID. Okay, Oh Se-hun. There we go." I said aloud and typed into my phone to search.

I quickly jumped up after reading about him. "WHAT?!?! HE'S A FAMOUS SINGER FROM ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR KPOP GROUPS HERE?!?!"
