"miss.chaewon? is that your name? Im sorry ive never done this before.." I stuttered, it seems simply ordering food is harder than it seems. Im always at home or at a drive through with friends so going to a fancy restaurant is very unfamiliar.
"Yes? " She turned to me, giving me the classic 'you are a customer and i need to do this to not lose my job' smile. It startled me a little so we just were there. surrounded by awkward silence.
" m'am would you like to order something?" another waitress chimed in, she had a cheerful smile and pink streaks in her mahogany hair. I nodded nervously pointing at items on the menu, still traumatized from the previous interaction. Despite only seeing Chaewon, the other waitress, for less than five seconds i couldnt get the image of her silver hair falling gracefully over her white long-sleeve shirt out of my head.
While the other waitress was watching my signals to the menu and jotting them down i took the time to notice the name on her tag. Kim Jiwoo. She seemed nice enough.
"Thank you for eating at La Luna." They both said in unison bowing slightly and returning to their jobs. The place was packed and full of well dressed and beautiful people. I felt weird and out of place. Usually when i felt like this,(which is a lot,) i would shrink myself down and it seems like Miss.Chaewon noticed this. I reflected on why i was here while staring at my raven hair that was cascading over my face to cover how my shoulders scrunched up and tensed. In all honesty i just wanted to treat myself on my birthday. I work as a reporter which means many long nights and weekends so this is my way of saying thank you to myself. I'm a pretty bold person in my writing and with my friends but meeting new people is not my forte.
" miss? are you ok?" I heard a soft voice call to me, i looked up and it was the same waitress i had seen earlier. Miss.Chaewon. I hadnt noticed but i had begun to hyperventilate and was sweating. My chest ached and it seemed just by the way i looked at her she knew i was not doing well.she sat down on my same booth and took my hand, pushing the raven hair sticking to my face with another. She squeezed my hand in a pattern.
1. 2. 3.
1. 2. 3.
I began squeezing back following her breathing patterns. I guess i looked so uncomfortable in my own skin and clothes,(a tight fitting black dress with long diamond earrings), she realized i was having a panic attack. When i finally looked up at her it seemed her breath hitched my posture shifted and my eyes searched hers for an answer rapidly. She smiled easing my nerves and got up, i reluctantly let go of her hand. It felt empty and lonely without her tiny fingers wrapping around it. I pushed back my hair and got up, nearly falling over because of the wretched heels i was wearing, and made my way to the bathroom. I reapplied the bold red lipstick i was wearing, re-did my mascara and wiped the sweat from my armpits and forehead. It was a routine for me after panic attacks, even though some of these things dont get affected it keeps me grounded. I straightened my back and began strutting out, heads turned and i felt self-conscious immediately. Was i doing something wrong? Did i trip? Is my lipstick smudged? I caught myself in a mirror and nothing was wrong with me. Actually, i looked beautiful. I sat down on my boot and Chaewon came with my food. Jiwoo was too busy with another table so it was just us.
" Thank you. By the way. It seems you're experienced in that area." I blurted out nervously. For some reason i had an urge to talk to her, start some kind conversation with her. She nodded and sat down in front of me which confused and surprised me.
" My sister gets panic attacks so ive learned how to deal with them." her voice was so soft that if you didnt know better you would think she was whispering. I smiled and she began to instinctively twirl her hair in-between her fingers. She had tiny cuts from winding her hair too tight which comforted and worried me. I grabbed her hand quickly which surprised me just as much as it did her. I had to bend over the table to do so which brought my face dangerously close to hers. Her eyes stunned me to the core. She had grey irises whit hints of blue and green.
" You shouldnt hurt yourself." I stuttered pulling my hand away as if touching burning hot coals. I swiftly sat back down pushing some of my food onto a separate plate for her. She nodded shyly and i spoke again," My name is Hyejoo. As you can tell im not the best in social situations," I chuckled, not looking up," but youre interesting and i want to get to know you.."
I hadn't noticed that i had put seven pieces of meat on her plate until she stopped me. She giggled at my red face which was like a blessing from the heavens. I couldnt help but laugh with her. She came next to me and took her plate with her placing it down next to mine. She leaned next to my ear causing me to flinch, i could feel her breath on my neck and it sent shivers down my spine.
" I'm actually the newest CEO but i decided to go undercover to learn the gossip."
oh.
oh.
That's why she was so professional, but this thought only hit me after i had gotten over the fact that after she stated this she began giggling in my neck. She nibbled my shoulder to try and calm herself from the overflow of laughter but that failed. She grabbed onto me shoulder and laughed into my chest. Once she was finally done, she wiped tears from her eyes with a finger. I chuckled nervously and it seem she realized what she did because she proceeded to excuse herself to another booth, where she hit her head with her wrist and squeezed herself angrily. She came back sighed and apologized, i just nodded still smiling.
"so, um, i have to leave soon so.. i have to leave so can i have your phone number?" I said quickly. Her eyes widened and she blushed looking away while passing her phone to me, which i took quickly. I imputed my number under the name Hye. I passed it back to her and she smiled as if she had one a trophy at the olympics. I hadnt noticed since i had been sitting down while she was standing but she's quite small. So small. I felt this warm feeling of just, cute, overwhelm me, and all i wanted to do was wrap my arms around her small body and protect her from everyone.
