He came unexpectedly twice.
Once, he came unexpectedly to the café.
Twice, he came unexpectedly to my heart.
But I like both.
Really, really love both.
He used to be a stranger before,
But he used to be mine after.
All I want for Christmas is him. –Baekhyun
…
The first day in December, D-25 to Christmas.
The whole streets in Seoul have been covered by slight snow, and the wind started to blow colder. Everyone seemed to get the Christmas passion more than the normal one. All malls had Christmas songs on the radio, all people had Christmas trees on their houses, all cafés played Christmas songs repetitively.
At the corner of the street, there was a big café named Le Grand Café. When you enter it, the bell above the door will twinkle and the good-looking waiters will greet you nicely, with a perfect bow. Don’t be confused when you couldn’t found any waitress there, because all they had was just waiters.
The atmosphere there was nice and homey. And for your information, the menus were classy and seemed expensive, but the price was still reasonable. Christmas melodies came out from the stereo above the mini-stage, and sometimes the singer will come, and let his voice out rather than a stereo.
For the owner, eight waiters excluded the singer were enough to serve those customers. Suho didn’t like crowd and too many people with the same uniform. There were Jongin, Kris, Luhan, Chen, Minseok, Sehun, Lay and Zitao. The chef’s Kyungsoo, and the singer’s Baekhyun.
They served the customers well. Kyungsoo always cooked nice and high-graded foods everyday, and Baekhyun always sang his best everyday. And nowadays, all of Baekhyun’s song lyrics were about Christmas and Christmas. People enjoyed his voice, and he enjoyed singing. When they needed music, Jongin was always ready to sit behind Baekhyun at the mini-stage, and had the guitar on his hands.
The café’s still alive on 7 PM. Baekhyun held the microphone and knocked the top. “Hello, customers. For your information, if you want us to present a song, you’re be able to write a request on the form beside the cashier. We’ve had three song requests… One from our chef, Do Kyungsoo,” he chucked and glanced at the kitchen. “Mistletoe for my friends. Aww, sweet. And again, from Kim Myungsoo, our loyal customer, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Such a cheerful song, I and Jongin will play both of these songs. And the last one, Christmas Love from… Chanyeol. Wow, I have never seen this name before. Alright, here we go!”
Jongin strummed his guitar, and Baekhyun started to sing the first line on the song.
It’s the most beautiful time of the year
Lights fill the streets, spreading so much cheer…
…
Chanyeol was the man who requested before was the last one to leave this café. When the waiters were about to close the café, they realized that there was still a man.
“I’m sorry, sir. But we’re closed,” Luhan said.
Chanyeol stood up and cleaned his thigh from cookie crumbs. “Well then, I’d like to leave.” He said intimidating, and Luhan felt bad because of it. He answered Chanyeol nervously, “Sir, I didn’t mean to-“
“If you feel bad, bring the singer to me,” suddenly Chanyeol said so, and Luhan stared at him in disbelief. “What do you mean, sir? Our singer?” and Chanyeol nodded. “Bring him here.”
