*sigh*

After all, I'm alone again..
no matter how much I try to keep and value someone I chose to love.

I'm... always being abandoned.

*Phone Buzz*

Caller ID - Annoying kid

*Sigh* not again.

C - yes?

MB - Where are you sunbae? Let's have dinner together.

C - I'm not free

MB - why? Where are you now? Who are you with?

C - I'm just busy.

MB - I will come to you so let's meet for awhile sunbae

C - Beom ya

MB - .......Nae....

C - Don't .... Don't expect anything from me

MB - what do you mean? I can... I can wait... you don't need to stress......

C - no..... I don't..... I don't dare to love again..... anymore

MB - ...... sunbae...

C - yes?

MB - where are you now?

C - sorry.... I will hang up now

MB - if it's no string attach.. it will be fine right? I will stay with you. You don't need to love me. I won't act like your lover .. I won't cross the line

C - Moon Beom

MB - I will be waiting in front of your house then. See you

He says and hang up the call first

*Sigh*

What a kid... he doesn't understand a thing does he?

It has been a while that Baekhyun left the restaurant and I still can't leave yet.
Staring at the space he sat earlier and... and yeah.... That is it.

May be I just don't deserve people in my life.
*sigh* what a fool.
I should learn the lesson by now.

After 3 months,

My restaurant preparations are all done and it will be having its first opening today.
Since it's close to my college, Dongwu said he will let students know.
Well, I didn't even ask that.

But still, thanks to Dongwu and even Beom, I got to open this restaurant in 3 months.
Beom helped a lot with government related cases and Dongwu with staffs recruiting and training.

While I was busy with my master thesis, cuisines development and training chefs about my own menus.

Tough months huh?

"Sunbae!" Beom comes into the restaurant

"Aww.. finish classes?"

"Hehe..."

"You didn't go to classes?"

"Nooo... just one class.. I can't wait to join you here so"

"Well, it's not like I'm having lots of customers on first day"

"Soon.. you will. Dongwu Hyung is bringing a lot of people"

"Ugh.... That Dongwu"

"Sunbae.."

"Hmm?"

"Ah... here" Beom says as he takes off my necktie

"What are you.."

"Just stay still" He says and bring out the new necktie that he brought "hehe.. just a small congratulations gift for your opening" he says as he ties me a new necktie

"Haha... this is not necessary"

"Well, you would feel burden if I buy you something else so.. wowwwww... why my sunbae is soooo handsomeee?"

"What? Hahaha... stop it kid" I can't help but laugh

"Hellooooooo!!!!" Dongwu shouts as he comes into the restaurant

"Ya... don't...."

"I brought our customersssss" he says and.... He brings...
It's been awhile that I saw him.
Since that day may be. I don't see him at school too since I go to school lesser

It's him, his boyfriend and his best friend couple.
And of course some other friends from travelling club.

"What are you doing sunbae.. go greet them" Beom says

I walk towards where everyone is and "Welcome to my humble restaurant.... Thank you all for coming here."

"What humble? This is literally 5 stars restaurant right?" Our one of the travelling club members says

"Our boss Park Chanyeol! Congratulations!!!!!" Our old club president says and everyone shouts congratulations

"Hahaha... thank you all. And have a seat everyone." I say and our waiters assist them

I am just standing at the counter and Beom beside me

"Sunbae... which menu do you think will be most popular?" Beom asks

"Hmm... I'm not sure... from pasta? Since that's very commonly popular in most restaurants"

"If it's from pasta then I think it's this rose pasta.. girls will start ordering it" Beom says

And after he said that, we hear some girls start ordering that dish

"Hehe... see?" Beom slightly bumps his shoulder to me and smiles

"Haha.. you are the smartest" i say and pat his head

*CLANG!!!!!*

I follow the noise and... it's... from Baekhyun's table. I think he accidentally drops the cup.
I rush over to his table and..

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" I ask

"...N..no.... I'm fine" he says

"Okay... don't move" I say and starts picking up the glass pieces

"Ah... boss... we will do it" waiters rushes towards me and say

"It's okay.. go get the dustpan and broom." I say and continue picking up

"Sunbae! You will hurt your hand" Beom says

"Did you perhaps hurt yourself?" I ask Baekhyun and check if glass pieces shattered onto his trousers

"N...no... it's fine" He says

"Boss.. we will do it" one of the waiter comes back with broom and dustpan

"Okay.. and get them a new cup" I say

"Sunbae! You are bleeding... omg! So many scratches..." Beom says

"I'm fine"

"Come!" He pulls me to the restroom and takes out the first aid kit from the drawer

"I can't believe you are stupid enough to touch the shattered glass pieces with bare hand. What are you? A superman?" He starts nagging me as he put the rubbing alcohol on my scratches

"Am I?" I joke

"Huh? You have waiters for a reason you know?"

"Whaaa... I'm getting scolded by someone 6 years younger than me?"

"Or is that because you are worried about him?"

"Beom ya"

"Ah ah!! I won't ask I won't ask... *tch*"

"It is not so... don't worry"

"Well, it's not like you care if I'm worried or not"

"Hahah... you make me sound like a villain here. And Beom ya... thank you for the necktie" I say

"How irrelevant." He says and leans in to give me a peck on my lips "take this because you are being too handsome with my present" he says and keeps the first aid kit

"Beom ya"

"Come out after washing your hands" he says and leaves the restroom

"He is so stubborn" I say to myself

*Think about how Baekhyun looked at me*

After all these times.....huh.....
He still looks...as pretty as ever.
