Fighter ( Park Chanyeol X Male reader )

Café Peter Pan

(Chanyeols POV)

I settled into the last empty seat at the back of the cafe, watching as Eunil expertly took orders and crafted drinks with swift, efficient movements. We'd had to walk a good mile from school to get here, but it was worth it for such an idyllic spot. The little cafe seemed to be a hit with the locals; I could hear their chatter and laughter echoing off the brick walls. I noticed that while Eunil carried out most of the workload, his female coworkers were preoccupied by something else—they hung around the male employees and customers, flirting shamelessly. I found it irritating, and kept my gaze fixed on Eunil as he prepared a coffee for one customer.

My phone vibrated against my thigh, so I reached into my pocket and pulled it out. Sehun had sent me a message that made me chuckle lightly at the thought of how much trouble I'd be in when I got home.

"What are you laughing at dummy?" Irene's voice called out from across the table. I looked up from my phone and smiled at her, "Ah my little brother."

Irene had always been gorgeous; her cherry red lipstick was as glossy as ever, and her lips looked bigger than usual. We had known each other since we were kids, our families being friends for years, and they were eager to get us together. They also wanted Sehun to date Yeri, Irene's younger sister.

Sehun and I hadn't come out as gay to our parents because their barely home and because they'll throw a fit, so we've kept it to ourselves even if Irene's known me since we were little kids I never told her I was gay neither did Sehun, we're the heirs of our dad's company but that's not till our dad retires. "Why are you here? Were you looking for me?" she rose her eyebrow I chuckled "Ah no I'm here because I wanted to hang out with my friend" she nodded frowning slightly "Oh who is it then a possible girlfriend?". I pointed at Eunil who was smiling at the little kid next to her mother "Oh Kyung Eunil she's really weird I believe she's anorexic because look how skinny she is" she stared at him.

"Are you jealous of him or something?" 

She looked at me, her voice going cold. "Of her? No never. She's really weird and people hate her. She doesn't have money; she's a beggar and a slut."

Eunil, who had been lurking nearby unnoticed until then, stepped forward and bowed respectfully towards Irene before addressing me. "Chanyeol hyung, you should go now..." He spoke hesitantly, his stutter making it difficult for the words to come out.

Irene stood up abruptly, towering over Eunil as she glared at him. "When does your shift end?" she asked with an annoyed tone. "At 7:30pm noona, why do you ask?" he replied timidly.

"Can you close up the café? I'll be heading out soon anyway" he nodded his voice cracking "Ah.... yes, I could......when should I close up?" she stood there for a second,

"Boss said at 11pm we have to close up" he looked shocked "Ah! I can't stay that late...I have school tomorrow and-".

She pushed passed him like he was nothing "Eunil will be closing up I have to go" she announced to the other workers cheered and started getting ready to leave I pulled out my phone it was 5:32 I shut my phone off and stood up I walked over to Irene "Hey, can't you close up the café early?".

She glanced at me; her expression resigned. I let out a heavy sigh and walked back to Eunil. He still stood in the same spot, his shoulders shaking as he silently sobbed. I hesitantly tapped his shoulder, and he jumped before quickly wiping away his tears. "Do you have your boss's number?" I asked gently.

He nodded and retrieved his phone from the pocket of his pink apron. After dialing the number, I heard a deep voice answer on the other end. Taking the phone from Eunil, I introduced myself as Chanyeol, the eldest son of Park's industry. The man on the other line gasped with surprise. I looked over at Eunil and guided him to sit down while explaining that Irene was forcing him to stay late and close up shop when he had school the next day. The man panicked, promising to come close up earlier than 11pm, but still insisting that Eunil stay until then to finish his shift.

After hanging up, I set the phone on the table and crouched down slightly so I could look directly into Eunil's eyes. They were red-rimmed and filled with tears. He simply stared blankly at the pink table where my computer and homework lay scattered about. Without thinking, I leaned forward and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead before swiping away the tear tracks from his cheeks with my thumbs. Even though we'd just met, there was something about him that made me feel instantly drawn to him. He seemed so kind, gentle, passionate and sweet.

If there any errors I'm really sorry I had to write this really quick I should be able to update over winter break soon but anyway I love you bye bye.
