Third Person's POV

When the clock strikes six and when the sky became dark. That was the time to see her. He would wait by the window looking if she's here. He wouldn't wanna miss her. Then he saw her, shining like the brightest star who made the night into day. Her eyes where sparkling like the beautiful night sky and her smile, her smile was magnificent, it feels like he was hypnotized by a young beautiful girl. He realized that he fell in love with this school girl. Everyday she would pass by the restaurant because it was her route home. Sometimes they would make eye contact, then he ends up blushing. Would a girl like her accept a boy's love? He didn't think so.

"Hey. Watching her pass by?" His friend said.

"Yeah, I'm hopeless." He said with frustration.

"Do you know her name?" She asked curiously.

"Catherine, I call her sometimes Cat."

"You never call her, you never even talk to her. Burn! Hahaha! The sad reality... Want some ice?" She asked while laughing. He was sad for a bit there.

"What's the ice for?" He asked. Changing his frown to a smile.

"For the burned area." She laughed again.

"Ha. Ha. Ha." He laughed sarcastically.

"Stop being so sarcastic."

He heard footsteps.

"She's almost here, be quiet."

She was smiling as if something good has happened. She glanced at the restaurant's window then she saw him, watching. He unexpectedly blush.

"Treat me at this restaurant." She said to her best friend.

"This? It looks expensive." Her friend asked, doubting.

"You said you would treat me." She made an angry but cute face.

"Okay, your so ugly when you do that face."

"I know."

They laughed. The went inside and picked the table near the window.

"This is your chance." His friend said.

"N-No I-I can't." He said nervously.

"Nothing will happen if you just stand there and watch."

He though that she was right, this is an opportunity to get to talk to her, even if it's only asking what her order is but it's still a chance.

"Go out there you freak!" She pushed him towards the table. The two girls were the only customers at the restaurant.

"M-May I take your o-order?"

He stared at her, observing her face. He looked at her pimples, her nose, and her cheeks. She was cute.

"Umm, I'll take a steak. How about you Precious?"

"I'll have a steak too."

"Do you want to have drinks or dessert?"

"No, thank you." They both said.

"Okay, I'll repeat your order. Two steaks."

"Yes." Catherine said calmly.

"Your order will be serve in 15 minutes."

"Thank you." Precious said.

Before he left, he wanted to look at her face one last time. They were blushing. They stared at each other for a couple of seconds.

"Umm, I'm sorry to interrupt but-"

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'll be going."

He went to the kitchen with his face red.

"Oh my god! She's cute! Like really cute!"

He though his nose was bleeding.

After 15 Minutes

"You go out and give them their order." He gave the tray of steaks to his friend.

"No you!" She returned the tray to him.

"No you!"

"No you!"

All this returning and giving lasted for 3 minutes.

"Excuse me, can we get our order now?" They heard a girl calling at the distance.

"Yes ma'am." His friend shouted.

"You give it. Or else I'll kill you."

She gave him an evil look. He was frightened.

"O-Ok."

He walked out of the kitchen and kindly gave the steaks to the two girls.

"Here you go, your to steaks."

"Kamsahamnida!" They both said.

"Hm?"

The girls laughed.

He went to his friend asking what that means.

"It means thank you in Korean."

"Oh ok." He said, fascinated with the language.

They paid the bill and left saying goodbye.

Days have passed, he had the courage to talk with her, they laughed, and they did crazy stuff together. He though it was time to admit his feelings to her.

"Hey Cat, I have something to tell."

"What?" She said laughing.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious."

"Oh, okay."

"When the clock strikes six and when the sky became dark. That was the time to see you. I would wait by the window looking if you're here. I wouldn't wanna miss you. Then I saw you, shining like the brightest star who made the night into day. Your eyes where sparkling like the beautiful night sky and your smile, your smile was magnificent, it feels like I was hypnotized by a young beautiful girl. I realized that I fell in love with this school girl. Everyday you would pass by the restaurant because it was your route home. Sometimes we would make eye contact, then I ended up blushing. I always said that every time I see you." He said it romantically. They were near a tree. Leaves where falling and landing on their heads. She was shocked.

"What do you-"

"I love you! Please accept my feelings!" He blurted out.

"I-I" She said, stuttering.

"I-I'm sorry. I'm not ready for a relationship." She looked away from his eyes.

He felt his heart broke into tiny little pieces. A tear fell down his face. He hugged her. She hugged her back.

"It's okay, I will wait."

"I'm sorry."

He cried so so much.
