Breath Taking

"Rejected..."

•• Jackson's POV••

I just saw Yugyeom look all flushed as he started coughing vigorously, soon enough I saw Namjoon's boyfriend give the kid an inhaler. An inhaler? Is he asthmatic or something? Nah, if he was he should've been triggered yesterday from the air freshener I sprayed in the car...

"Woah... What happened to Yuggie?" Namjoon read my mind as he said that. I shrugged then nudged him, gesturing to Yugyeom. Understanding, Namjoon and I stood up at the same time and started walking towards Yuggie and that Baekhyun guy... Ughhhhh... I hate that guy... I mean... Nothing.

Yugyeom stared at me and Namjoon before looking away and blushing like a pink mess. I shrugged off his peculiar behavior, maybe he's still flushed from that sudden... Attack? Or what should I call it? Nevermind.

Anyways, Baekhyun must've felt awkward or something as his shoulders were in an awkward position. "I-I need to go... Uhm, yeah, see you later Yuggie. Tell me if you've made up your mind" He said awkwardly as he left to the kitchen. Namjoon nudged me, gesturing to Yuggie who was sipping a chocolate drink.

"I'll see how Jungkook's doing with the dishes" Namjoon said, then also left for the kitchen, leaving me and Yugyeom. Not able to push out that lump in my throat, I end up staring at Yuggie as he stared blankly into his cup. Gosh, this is harder than I thought...

Mustering up enough courage, I glided my way beside him smoothly then tapped lightly on his arm, since I can't reach his shoulder. Gee, why you gotta be a giant?! "Hm?" Yuggie looked at me curiously, I still see a tinge of pink in his cheeks. I decide to start a conversation first, it might be easier that way.

"I just wanna know... Are you okay? I saw what happened earlier-" His eyes widened and he looked a little emberassed, it was cute to be honest. "-and you're still a little flushed. I'm honestly worried Gyeomie" I held a hand to his forehead but he backed away. What..?

•• Yugyeom's POV ••

"-I'm honestly worried Gyeomie" then he held a hand to touch my forehead, Omo! Like on instinct, I backed away.

By seeing Jackson's confused expression, I realize I'm probably acting like a germaphobic creep right about now! I nodded my head rapidly, up and down and up and down "I'm okay! Seriously! My face flushes when I'm cold-" It's not a lie, it really does. But that's not the reason for my blushing now. "-so you don't need to worry oppa~" I chimed.

"Oh, in that case-" he started stripping his jacket. Omo! What is he doing?! I felt my heart rate go faster against my chest. No no no! I just got it calmed down! Not again! I mentally scolded my heart for being so flustered all the time. Once he had the jacket off, he placed it in my free arms "Wear this. With that dress, you must be freezing" he smiled softly.

I nodded, then wore the black jacket. It fit perfectly. Well, the sleeves were a little short but it definitely fit. I nodded my head then smiled "Thank you oppa" I whispered. Then suddenly, he came closer to me, leaning over to whisper in my ear. "Then Yuggie~-" Omo... "Would you like to go out with oppa tomorrow?" Then he pulled back.

I blinked another few times. Date? Me? Him? Seriously? But wait.... *Loading... Loading... Processed!* Ah! Jackson asked me out but Baekhyun did too! I started panicking, I guess Jackson noticed. "You don't have to decide right away. As you know, I'll be here all day, waiting for your answer" he smiled at me then went back to Namjoon.

Wha- Whe- Why- Ahhhhh! How could they do this to me?! I don't know how to choose!! I can't! Omo... Jackson hyung, Baekhyun hyung, why do you have to do this to me..?

~ 3 and a half hours later... ~

It's my second snack break for my shift and I still haven't decided! Omo... What do I do? On one side, Baekhyun's really nice, polite, and I know I can trust him to take care of me. Yet on another hand, Jackson's pretty much the same, he's quite the gentleman and really funny! Plus, he knows my secret and Youngjae, so I'm sure I can trust him.

Both sides are pretty equal to me... Omo... What do I do? What do I-

"YO KIM YUGYEOM!!" Jungkook shouted as he and Sungjong, my other friend and also another crossdressing waitress, were staring at me like I had been talking about aliens like a crazy person. "What?" I raised an eyebrow "What do you mean "what"? You've been staring off into space for the past five minutes girl!" Sungjong retorted.

Jungkook joined in "Yeah, we've practically solved this whole newspaper section Yugs!" He said as he placed a fully solved newspaper crossword infront of me. "Oops" I muttered, laughing a little as I was emberassed. "So what's gotten our Yuggie like this, hmm?" Sungjong said, making a cute face. "Oh don't tell me you forgot someone's order again" Jungkook sighed. He had to bring it up.

"Oh yeah! I remember that one-" Sungjong exclaimed, here we go again... "-Yuggie forgot someone's order and apologized to the girl for like five times. Even afterwards Yuggie was still not her usual self. So... Did you, again?" I scoffed "No! It has nothing to do with work! So, if you would respect my privacy. That would be great!"

"Uhhhh, sorry. But we don't respect your privacy so-" Sungjong cut him off "So~ Who's the guy?" I nearly choked on my drink "H-how... How'd you know it was a guy?" Sungjong laughed, what the heck? "Oh please~ Girl! I know you! And right now, your whole face says L. O. V. E. Looove~" He chimed, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I rolled my eyes, I'm telling them...

~ 5 minutes later... ~

Well... I told them... They convinced me. Not turning back now. I'm gonna say yes.

He and I were outside the cafe, because I wanted more privacy. I clear my throat to speak "I'vd thought about what you said..." I looked at his facial expression, it was hopeful. I smiled. "And my answer is yes. We can hang out tomorrow~" As soon as I said that, he engulfed me in a hug.

"Thank you thank you!" I chuckled and hugged back "You're welcome~ Baek- oppa~"

He went back inside, looking all cheery. I saw him through the window, jumping and he even spun Sungjong around. Lol.

But then, my happiness went as I realized I now would have to reject Jackson... And so, I pulled out my phone, I can't pull myself to face him. I'm sorry oppa...
