You entered the quite bustling fast food restaurant and walk to the counter where people queued. At first you're going to whip out your phone but you decided not to before preparing about both what you're going to say and your own order.
Letting a quick sigh escapes from your lips, you took a step forward closer to the counter where the man that stood before you just finished ordering and look at the male employee in front of you.
"May I take your order, Miss?"
He let out a business-like smile and you recall the sentence you already prepared perfectly just seconds ago.
"I'd like a double cheeseburger with french fries and a medium sized cola, please."
The male employee quickly input everything to the computer and tell you the price. You payed and he gave you your order.
As you were searching for some empty spot, preferably near the window, you could suddenly felt that the ground you're standing on wasn't quite dry.
And before you know it, your foot slipped on the substance and fell into the embrace of another person, gripping your shoulder and waist securely within their arms. Saving you and your lunch from kissing the wet slippery floor.
Strangely, you didn't feel alarmed at all even though you would really mind about someone invading your personal space.
"Are you okay?"
Taken aback by the whole event, you just stare dumbly at the person who just hold you. It was a very handsome young man with plump lips and broad shoulder that hugs you earlier.
"Y-yes. Thank you"
You managed to say, before the man gave you a dazzling smile and you're once again left dumbfounded by his beauty.
"I'm really sorry! Please forgive my child. Minjae, apologize to the lady"
You looked at your right to found a middle-aged woman and a little boy on their table, with a fallen cola cup on top of it.
The boy, who looks no older than five years old, were crying his eye out over his spilled soda.
The woman once again sternly commanded her son to apologize in a hushed voice, while forcing the little boy to bow.
Still in shock, you stood there awkwardly. Feeling a bit bad for the little boy, you immediately said.
"Its okay, Ma'am. Your son didn't do anything wrong."
The woman let out a thank you and you look around, searching for the one that had just saved your lunch. You should at least treat the man for a cup of coffe or some cola, since he helped you.
"Ma'am, do you perhaps know where did the man who helped me earlier went to?"
You went back to ask the woman when you couldn't find him. He seems to disappear into thin air. You could almost swear he was beside you just minutes ago.
"Oh, I did saw him when he help you from falling, but after that I didn't see him at all. Maybe he left already"
And so you sat on the table near the window and started to eat your food while falling deep in thought.
It felt weirdly familiar. As if these kinds of things had happened before, but you couldn't put your fingers to what it really is. Could it be guardian angels?
You laugh at the silly thought and shook your head. You must be really confused after the whole ordeal earlier.
Wondering where the handsome man might be, you decides that you should thank him if you were to see him again.
"Humans should appreciate foods more. I mean, if I don't but in, this beautiful food would've been a waste, right?
But I don't know if I should be happy you finally thought of us. Even though you think about it for just a minute."
