Table For Two

Haechan+Winwin

It's weird how you can find new people with ease. Whether its over the internet or not being ashamed or shy to talk to a stranger. There's even a restaurant which allows you to meet new people over dinner. You enjoy a nice meal, have a nice talk, and then when you're finished, you decide if you like this person enough to get closer to them in the future, in which you'll ask for their number, and if they give it to you, you've found yourself a new friend.

Tuesday

Haechan walked down the street, hands shoved in his jean pockets, his Aubrey hair being pushed back by the wind as he trotted along. He was upset, angry, annoyed over how one of his roommates had continuously mothered him over the past few years they've been living together. Now don't get Haechan wrong, he loved this roommate, he had the special skill of being able to annoy him to insanity with the few words of; Booming System Up-Ah, then finishing it off with the choir of their other roommates singing; TY Track, TY Track. God, that pissed the roommate off, normally having him sigh in annoyance.

His grudge slowly faded as he came in front of a softly lit building. A restaurant. Haechan's stomach growled right on time, he laughed and decided to walk into the restaurant to grab a bite to eat.

He walked in, looking around the inside in awe. It was a beautiful place, it looked too much like a library though, the wooden walls, a dim light at every table, quiet talk as people smiled at the joy of whatever they were talking about... Was Haechan even in the mood for food or books? In this building, he wasn't quite sure anymore.

"Hi" Haechan turned around to a girl at the front counter. "Would you like a seat?"

"Ah, yes please. I'm star-"

"Male or female?" The girl quizzed, interrupting the confused boy

"What? Male, don't you se-"

"Alright, right this way" The lady got up, and picked up two menus from the desk, Haechan followed along even though he thought the girl couldn't see what gender he was, making him very confused. But he was about to find out, his gender is not what she meant.

The lady sat him down at a table, across from Haechan was another boy. His hair was let loose, dragging down his dark chocolate eyes, the front of his hair was golden blonde, but the back was pink, both faded into each at the middle, this is probably the best hair Haechan as ever seen.

"Oh, wait, this isn't the type of mal-"

"Here are your menus, just call out when you're both ready to order" The girl interrupted again, giving Haechan and the other boy a menu each before walking away.

The table went silent, Haechan could hear a table's conversation about earrings on the other side of the building. The other boy chuckled at him, smiling as his cheeks went pink.

Haechan backed away in his seat, embarrassed over what was happening. "Look, hey. I, I'm confused on what's happening. I'm not gay, and I just wanted to eat... Sorry"

The other boys eye's were now widened, before smiling and laughing again at Haechan

"This isn't a hook-up place" The boy finally said with broken Korean

"It's not?" Haechan was more confused than ever

"Well, kind of. It's a friend hook-up restaurant" Haechan just kept blinking in confusion.

The other boy sighed. "You come here to meet new friends over dinner, you spark up a conversation and you let it ride out"

Haechan stared in shock, this places sounded so cool. "Are you serious? That sounds wicked!"

"It is. I come here every Tuesday to talk to someone, although I've only ever made one friend. The rest just seem boring or too into me" The other boy stated, eyelids dropping slightly towards the end of his sentence.

"Oh... So, what's your name?" Haechan asked, dragging out the 'so'

"My name's Dong Sicheng, I'm from China, hence why my Korean isn't very good" The boy answered

"My name is Lee Donghyuck, although my friends call me Haechan. And I'd say your Korean is pretty good"

"Thank you. If this goes well, you may call me Winwin" Si Cheng beamed, smiling at him

"Winwin? What's the story behind that?" Haechan cackled

Sicheng sighed. "I would always use the saying 'it's a win-win situation' ALL the time, and one time I just shortened it down to 'win-win', and my friends thought it was funny. So they decided to call me Winwin"

"I guess me coming here tonight was a Winwin situation" Haechan smirked at Sicheng, who just glared in response.

Sicheng got up. "Alright, I guess we're done here then" He started to walk out, before Haechan called out to him. "Hey Winwin!"

The said boy turned around. "What?"

Haechan got up, reaching for his phone and bringing up contacts. "You're cool, sorry about the joke. Here, put your number in my phone" And with that, Winwin smiled and did as he was told, he also got Haechan to put his own number in his phone.

Before he walked out, all he saw Haechan type was 'Winwin Situation' as the boys phone contact nickname

This was originally on my "NCT, OMG They Were Roommates" story, with the caption; "Happy New Year NCTzens. I hope for 2018 to be the best for us and NCT, as a family". But I changed it to a oneshot, just because I have other plans for that story. (And obviously it was posted on New Years)
