~Time skip: 2 weeks~

I sighed while I cleared yet another table of dirty dishes and glasses. I wondered how things were with Eric and the company. Is he doing well leading everyone? I thought back to the night that I had broken down and spilled my hidden feelings. He had taken it in a surprisingly calm manner as if he was waiting or something. I knocked over a glass and felt relieved that it was empty, but it had knocked over the sugar dispenser. "Fuck..." I sighed as I swept the fallen sugar into the bin as well.

I was having a conversation with Juyeon about choosing gifts when he repeatedly tapped my shoulder. "What?" "Look." He pointed towards the entrance and there was Jacob with who I assume were coworkers. Most of them were females and there was only one other male besides him. "Jacob sure is popular..." "I'm aware..." I found out that some of his coworkers were attracted to him because of his angelic like and sweet nature. I couldn't really blame them as I was one of his victims too.

As luck would have it, I was forced to be the server of his table as the others purposefully took on other tables. "Hello, my name is Changmin and I'll be your server today. I'll come back later to see if you're ready to order your meal. Does anyone know what they want to drink now or no?" A few ordered drinks and I was relieved to have finally gotten away. "You looked pretty composed out there." "I was doing my job." I watched as they all talked and I noticed two of the women would look in my direction then look away. "Are they talking about me? Positively or negatively...?"

I carried their orders over then placed the tray on top of the tray stand. "Thank you for waiting." I passed the dishes to the two closest to me which happened to be Jacob and that woman I saw over a month ago in his room. As I handed her a dish, I felt something hit my arm causing me to drop the dish all over her and the person next to her. "Hey!" I apologized and quickly moved to get the mess cleaned up.

As I came back, I spotted Manager Choi standing by their table. I sighed heavily as I knew it was definitely coming out of my paycheck. I timidly walked over and began to clean while listening to the conversation. "This is what happens when you hire inane employees..." She scoffed then looked in my direction. I could feel her glaring at me and I felt uncomfortable. "Did anyone else see what happened?" Most of the group agreed with her story, except Jacob. He was the only that hadn't spoken up. "And you sir?"

"I saw it. It's true that he dropped the food all over her, but it wasn't his fault." Everyone looked at Jacob including me. I knew something was off when I reached over. "W-What do you mean?" "You moved his arm. It's that simple." Everyone had started murmuring and it amused me to see her crumbling. "Miss, we don't tolerate this kind of behavior here, so please tell us what happened or else we'll charge you and send you on your way without food." I knew it was only a threat, but it also didn't seem like one either. "Fine. I moved his arm. He was telling the truth." I walked away to dispose of the now dirty food and rags.

I closed my locker then jumped when someone tapped my shoulder. "What happened over there?" "Don't worry about it." I patted Hyunjae's shoulder then headed for the front door. It was heartwarming seeing Jacob stick up for me when he didn't have to. I unlocked my car and got in, tossing my bag into the passenger seat. I heard a tapping on the window and saw Jacob waving at me. I rolled the window down and received a face full of flower. "I got these as an apology for earlier. I'll come here alone next time." He motioned for me to come closer then kissed my forehead when I did. "I'll see you." I watched as he got into someone's car and they drove away. I smiled then coughed. "More daisies..."
