summary : you’re just a college student trying to pay the rent, you didn’t expect to spill coffee on a (very handsome) stranger while working. 

disclaimer : i am not using capitalised letters on purpose. it’s my ~aesthetic~

it’s currently 7:46 a.m and you already want to disappear, maybe dig a hole right then and there and bury yourself in it. the handsome stranger with expensive looking clothes (now drenched in his coffee order) in front of you is the exact cause of this very familiar feeling (it’s,,,, really not the first time you’re experiencing public embarrassment). 

you wouldn’t really call yourself a clumsy person, you just have a talent at not being very good at coordinating your limbs, whether it’d be hitting your thigh at the corner of the desk in class when you’re trying to rush out of class, hitting your head on that damned cupboard every time you cook or breaking any object you were holding. it’s really not clumsiness, just a lack of coordination. 

anyways, this fine monday morning started out perfectly, you weren’t late to work, you actually don’t have any assignment missing or undone as you managed to focus on doing them over the weekend, and midterms don’t start until another two months so you don’t have the stress dawning on you (yet). you also didn’t forget your work attire or hairband, everything was going perfectly smooth. you managed to fix a few customers’ orders without making a mess either. that is, until you tripped on your undone shoelace when trying to give this (handsome) customer’s iced americano. 

so here you are, trying to wipe off the stain of coffee off of this very handsome person’s very expensive looking beige sweatshirt (is that,, the prada logo?) while the man keeps on repeating that it’s fine, and just a redo of his order would be fine! because really, he’s also very socially awkward and not used to female contact outside of his job. besides, it was cold coffee, it’s not like he got burned or anything. 

“i’m really sorry…!” you repeat for the umpteenth time in the span of 10 minutes. mainly from the fact that you were sure the hoodie cost more than you’ll ever be able to afford, even if you worked full-time. 

“don’t worry about it, my mom has a good method for coffee stains! besides i have time this morning as i don’t have any schedule, i was about to go home anyways.” he smiles (was this heaven?) at you before removing the wet tissue from his chest and throwing it to the trash. 

as you go back to completing his order feeling a very little less guilty, he makes use of that time to study you. ‘it’s weird.’ he thinks, you have seen him from up close and didn’t recognize him, he assumed you would’ve gasped and whimper ‘hwang in yeop…’ in surprise when you saw his face but you didn’t (you truly were just focused on making that stain go away). ‘maybe she’s not into dramas’ he assumes, considering the project he recently worked on gave him the most recognition. he watches you make his coffee order again and notices how cute the apron makes you look. he also now comes to realise that you are, in fact, a foreigner. he didn’t get to look at your face when you were wiping the stain, and your korean really didn’t make him question your nationality, and he assumed you were probably from a different region, as the only problem you had speaking was the accentuation of words. 

after you give him his coffee, he decides that this is a one in a lifetime opportunity, he doesn’t have any schedule, you’re the first foreigner he’s seen in a job usually taken by natives, and most importantly, your voice made him blush a little at how soothing it sounded to him. 

“i take back my words. this isn’t okay; i want you to repay me for staining my hoodie.” smooth. very smooth. he curses innerly as he realises you’re probably going to panic. 

‘i... also assumed so. how much would it cost to buy you a new one?” you sigh defeated as you also thought he was letting you off too easily, specially for a hoodie that looks more expensive than you if you were to sell organs. 

“i don’t want money actually.” now, in yeop isn’t the type to say stupid stuff that easily. but there’s just something about him this early in the morning, that makes him say stuff either very insensitive, or very inappropriate. specially as you now probably assume he wants your body. 

“i..” you were speechless. was it that your brain was telling you he wants your body? or your low self-esteem refusing to admit your body is valuable? you truly weren’t following what he meant. 

“that sounded very inappropriate. i apologize. i just meant to ask for your number in exchange..?” he scrunches his nose in awkwardness. 

uh. oh. that. he meant that?

“why…?” you were now just utterly confused as to why this handsome stranger wanted your number. 

“i just thought you’d be fascinating to talk to, it’s my first time talking to a foreigner in korean, and them being as fluent if not better than me at it. also because you look cute in that apron…” you almost didn’t hear the last part, if it weren’t for the silence of a monday morning, where you barely get customers after 8 a.m until 11 a.m. 

“oh.” was all that left your mouth as you truly didn’t expect someone to find you cute. maybe friendly? but cute? never heard it before. 

he sighs, apologising for the absurd request and turns to leave saying that it really is fine for the hoodie. 

“give me your phone!” you yell a little too loud, mainly because you found it weirdly comforting that someone could find you fascinating. he smiles shyly as he gets it out to give it to you, and it’s only after you ask for his name to input as a contact that you freeze. it was him. the actor your friend kept telling you about. you couldn’t believe it. 

“i have to go back home to change but i’ll wait for your message!” he says as he rushes out of the shop while new customers enter. 

you had just given your number to the handsome actor whom had given everyone second lead syndrome in his most recent work. and it was because he found you fascinating and cute. 

what a morning.
