Breath Taking

Intro: "Cinderella"

•• Jackson ••

Ring ring~ the bells on the door chimed as I entered the cafe. Oh how the familiar place fills me with such nostalgia. The smell of various kinds of coffee, cakes and other baked goods filled my sense of smell. "Cafe Le Crem" was the name of the place.

I had often came here after becoming close relations with the manager. Almost eveyday to be honest "Oh lookie here! Jackson Wang?" Speak of the devil... It was him, my close friend "Namjoon! It's been a while" I said after I bro-hugged him. "Yeah, thought you left town when you didn't come yesterday" he chuckled at his own joke.

"Yeah, well, my boss got a little strict yesterday with all the deliveries. I just didn't find the time yesterday" After I explained thoroughly, Namjoon made an 'O' shape with his lips then nodded. "You know you're always welcome to apply here if you ever decide to quit being a delivery boy" "And what? Be a waiter boy?" I joked.

"Hey~ Being a waiter's ain't all that bad" Namjoon leaned in closer "Plus, heard you fancy a gal here eh?" He whispered in my ear. How did he know? "W-what? No!" I pushed him off defensively. Namjoon chuckled "Dude chill, it'll be our little secret. But if I may ask, which one?"

Just as Namjoon asked me that, she came out from the kitchen. Looking just as beautiful as I first saw her. Dark charcoal hair, curled in a soft manner as it fell up to shoulder length and dark bangs covered her forehead. Her complexion was that of a pale tone, which contrasted perfectly with the black choker around her neck.

Her movements were gentle and graceful, the ruffly waitress dress uniform swaying with every small movement. Surprisingly, she was tall for a girl. About nearly a head taller than me, nevertheless she looked so fragile, innocent. Like a princess, although I'm quite not sure which one yet...

All are beautiful like her-

"Earth to Jackson? Ey Wang!" Namjoon snapped his fingers in front of my face, bringing me out of my daydream. "Huh..?" I mumbled, probably sounding really dumb at the moment.

Namjoon chuckled and looked to the direction where my attention was fixed "Jacks- Ohh... Oh! Jacks! Don't tell me?" Namjoon raised an eyebrow at me and I slapped his shoulder "What?" "Her?" "Yeah, so what?" "Man, you're in love with Yuggie?" "Who?" "Oh, we call Yugyeom Yuggie"

"Hmm... She's pretty right?" I asked, making sure I wasn't just imagining her beauty. Namjoon shrugged, he has a boyfriend but he was bi and knows when a girl is hot or not.

"Yeah definitely-" I subconsciously smiled "But~" but..? I gave him a confused look but he simply turned my head back to her. "You got competition..." Another guy came up to Yugyeom, making her curl up in a shy manner as she looked flustered. He ruffled her hair and whispered something in her ear.

I swear I felt jealousy eating at me at that moment. Like the feeling that I want to yell at that guy to back off like a protective boyfriend but... She barely knows me and I barely know much about her. Other than the occasional small talks I had with Yuggie when she'd be on break or serving my table, there was not much communication.

Finally, the guy walked away and I felt a slight pang of relief. Only slight. I was still pissed as heck. "Oh, Jacks is jealous of Baekhyun hm?" Namjoon teased, making me scoff, but I did remember his name, Baekhyun. "No." "I call lie on that one. Here, let me cheer you up" Namjoon raised his hand and I was confused as to what he was doing.

Soon enough, I realized he was calling over Yugyeom when she started looking over this way and walking over unsure. I was panicking on the inside but I tried keeping as cool as possible. She's right here. Omo...

"Yes sir?" "Cut the formalities Yugs~!" Namjoon put on a friendly smile to push his point "Oh okay Nam oppa" I chuckled and mouthed "Nam oppa?" To Namjoon "Shut up" he mouthed back, then turned back to Yugyeom. "I believe you've met-" she cut him off "Jackson-oppa~ welcome back!" I swear my just heart melted at her sweet voice calling me oppa!

"Oh, you remember me?" I'm honestly surprised she did. "How could I not? You come here all the time~" She chimed, smiling as she played with a strand of her hair shyly. Our eyes met, locking unto each other. Even if it was just for a few seconds of eye contact, 5 seconds in fact, it had made butterflies erupt in my stomach.

Yugyeom looked away, breaking our eye contact. I think I saw a tinge of pink on her cheeks but I must have been mistaken. But I was sure I was, blushing like a pink rose. "Oh! Please do excuse me. A table needs a waitress... Uhm... Fare thee well..." Yugyeom said rather monotonely then scurried off to a table.

I somehow found it adorable, to run away like Cinderella at the stroke of midnight... That's it... Cinderella

•• Yugyeom ••

I was distracted as I asked the table what their order was. I was just not able to think straight and focus like I always do. My mind was off to that Jackson guy. His sexy low voice, that nice white smile- "-have you got it?" The guy asked me, pulling me out of my trance of thoughts.

I looked at the pencil that was barely moved on my notepad. Oh no... I smiled sheepishly and uttered a small and emberassed laughter. "I do apologize sir... But could you please run me through that again?" The guy simply laughed and redone the order again. Phew, I was glad the customer was a nice one.

"Again, I do apologize sir. Your order will be right there" "It's alright. We're all human" I smiled then left to give the order to the kitchen "Hey doll~" I felt shivers down my spine "Hey Baekhyun" I shyly said as I spun around.

"Are you fre-" "Table 6!" Jin called from behind the counter "I am deeply sorry but I have to go..." I bowed and gave him an apologetic look. I took the tray from Jin "Aww~ i'm sorry! Did I interrupt princess?" He teased. "Just kidding~ Now go Cinderella!" He sooshed me off.

Cinderella..?
