Aya blinked and turned her gaze slowly towards the owner of the hand. "Iris, did you need something?"

Iris placed her hand on her hip with a roll of her eyes. "I forgot to mention that you will be closing tonight."

Aya felt her face warm with anger that boiled to the surface. If steam could blow out of her ears... She would have popped off. "Excuse me? I have been closing the diner for three nights in a row!"

There was a loud pop Iris's bubble burst and she continued to chew her bubblegum in an 'I do not care. "I already asked the manager. Michael is picking me up after work."

"Michael?" Aya said, "What happened to Andrew?" Her hands shook with anger, she held her apron firm. She was tired of being treated as if she did not exist or if she belonged at the bottom of someone's shoe.

"Oh, yeah!" Iris smirked and she lolled her chewing gum to the side. "I have plans with Andrew tomorrow. You'll have to work my shift."

Aya was gobbed smacked at Iris's audacity to tell her that she would be taking her shift without checking with her first. She opened her mouth but Iris already went to the staff room.

Her thoughts went back to the young man whose name was Hoseok. She couldn't explain the feeling that had butterflies in the pit of her stomach. She was afraid but... She was free-falling at the same time.

Now, Iris had ruined her evening and whatever plans she had tomorrow. She hoped that she would be able to get everything done before Hoseok came to pick her up.

                                                                                         .....

When Hoseok left the diner, he had walked to the pier to look upon the ocean. He felt that he was floating, he glanced upwards to the stars and smiled. "Did I just meet the girl of my dreams?"

It was seldom to go around in Seoul without anyone recognising him. They were the biggest boy band in the world. Yet... This girl looked at him with no recognition. There was no hint on her face. Her face...

                                                                                        .....

Namjoon did not return to the dorm with the others. He stood in the shadows and waited for Hoseok to show up. He made sure that he would not be seen.

He turned his head at the sound of a door opening. Hoseok exited the diner and was heading straight to the pier. Namjoon narrowed his eyes in confusion.

Hoseok's demeanour was so different. He watched him for a few seconds before turning his attention towards the diner. He saw the girl that served them, she seemed angry about something.

He kept close to the shadows. He did not want Hoseok to see him. He wanted him focused on the upcoming tour. His eyes narrowed. He was not going to let this woman distract Hoseok.

He was about to step out of the shadows when the diner door opened. He held his breath when the girl appeared waving the last of the customers off. Another girl stepped past her with a cheeky wave.

He saw the girl tense and a soft sigh escaped her lips. She closed the diner door and the lights began dimming. He saw this as an opportunity to step out from the shadows when he heard whistling.

                                                                                     .....

Hoseok was still standing at the end of the pier, gazing up at the stars. It was almost time to return to the diner. He took in a deep breath but his courage was dwindling.
