16. Story
I stand in front of a Starbucks who was nearby the restaurant own of my family members owned. I want to enter together with him, so it won't be that awkward for him. When I saw him, I could tell that he was with his mind elsewhere. His eyes not in focus of what he's doing. When he approached me, he looked up and gave me a small smile. "I'm not too late, am I?" "No, I was on my phone, so don't worry. Thank you. You are helping me a lot. My Family would always joke that I'll never get a boyfriend. I owe you a favor, Daniel."
"No problem, I mean we are friends. Aren't we?", he said, and we went together to the family restaurant. The walk wasn't long and quiet. He was talking about the Spider-man theories he looked up online and told me about them.
It was kinda cute. When we were almost there, he took my hand in his, and we entered the restaurant. Half of the restaurant was full of my family members and the other had a few customers.
I looked around the room and saw a familiar face in the other half but shrugged it off.
We went to the big table with familiar faces who looked at me in awe.
"Woah, Miki has finally a boyfriend!", said one of my aunts, who was sitting beside my mother.
"Woah, he looks so handsome. Almost like an Idol", My younger cousin said, who was in her obsessed K-Pop phase.
My other family members would ask us a lot of things, and we made up a story beforehand we could tell them. I got a bit red when he tightened his grip in our hands once in a while and how he talks about me as if I was his real girlfriend.
My family seemed to like him, especially my older cousin, who was a dancer.
I excused myself for a minute and made my way to the restroom. On my way, I got the feel again that I saw a familiar face. There was someone with the newspaper upside down in front of his face. I chuckled and looked at him. " From whom are you hiding?", I asked him and chuckled. "Are you jealous?"
"From no one, and who should I be jealous. Look at me, I'm perfect", he said, and I could see a slight hint of read on his ears.
"Daniel is here for my annoying family members. Go home, you are taking a seat away from someone who would pay to eat here. My uncle needs to make money!", I said and continued my way to the restroom.
'What an idiot.', you thought, and went back after you finished your business.
