I sat inside Jisoo's office, head down in guilt. "Why didn't you let me go?"
He hummed and looked up at me.
"Why did you choose me over the fame you always wanted to get?"
This time, I returned the eye contact. He didn't respond, he made the room silent for a whole minute. It was so awkward that I wanted to go home at the very moment.
I had already decided to stand up, when he finally said something. "Go back to the kitchen, I have a special visitor tomorrow."
Special visitor, sounds like another successful chef. I bowed and went back to the kitchen to work. That was one surprising day, maybe crazy.
-
I rushed towards the restaurant, while fixing my hair. Oh my gosh, I'm late! I went inside the employees' room and tried not to get caught by Jisoo. I was about to enter the kitchen, when a voice stopped me.
"You're late." Damn it.
I turned around with a fake smile, but it quickly faded when I was met by a familiar face. Is this...
"Dokyeom?" I asked and he smiled.
"Long time, no see. It seems that you're working for my friend, Joshua. I thought you wanted to open your own restaurant."
That's right, I wanted my own restaurant but I wasn't given the chance yet. Seokmin was there for me, even before I started studying culinary. I ended up working for Jisoo, but it wasn't that bad as I expected it to be. Working here helped me enhance my skills in cooking and I also made a lot of friends.
"Dokyeom, I didn't see you-" Jisoo stopped and noticed me. "I see, you've already met my favorite employee."
F-favorite? His comment made me shy all of a sudden.
"May I talk to her for a while? Privately." Seokmin asked Jisoo, who looked at him curiously but ended up nodding anyways.
-
Seokmin and I were now inside Jisoo's office, sitting beside each other on the couch. He smiled once again at me and faced my direction.
"Do you know why I'm here?" He raised an eyebrow at me.
Not knowing the answer, I shrugged. "Aren't you a visitor?"
Seokmin chuckled at my response, which confused me."Not only that, i'm here because you are getting out of this restaurant."
"What?!" I didn't realize that I said that too loud for the others to hear me from the other room. "What do you mean, Dokyeom?"
Seokmin grabbed some files from inside his suitcase and showed them to me. I was frozen, i-it can't be.
"You're finally going to own a restaurant, our restaurant. Doesn't it sound amazing?"
He was so excited of the thought of us working together and I was excited too. However, it wasn't that easy to decide. Seokmin did this for me, he is helping me fulfill my dreams with him. This is what I've always been waiting for, but why am I feeling hesitant?
-
As soon as Seokmin left the restaurant, I quickly turned and took a deep breath but almost choked when Jisoo's body was in front of me.
"Gosh, sir." I was about to curse, when he suddenly moved closer.
"Why did you choose me over the restaurant you always wanted to own?"
He heard, didn't he?
All I did was give him a sad smile, "That's what you also did for me, sir. I guess we are really destined to be here, together."
