Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: A barista and An actor

Okay, so the celebs 'get together' are tonight.

Ajin went to visit Porchay in the morning to inform him that the guests would be coming between 6:00 to 6:30. He had already decided on the menu. Ordered expensive drinks after persuading the owner of the cafe that it was gonna be worth it.

So, here are the five people coming.

First- Anya (of course)

Second- Ajin (he wasn't less than a celebrity now that everyone had seen him with Anya.)

Third- Kim (also known as WIK, he is a boy doll pretty actor/singer)

Fourth- Nanon (cute actor guy with dimples.)

Fifth- Ohm (cat-eyed actor guy who is hot af)

Well, Ohm and Nanao are practically inseparable after their series 'Bad Buddy' became famous. Their company, AKA GMMTV, kept them together in every event.

Ajin doesn't know much about Kim. He has heard a song or two composed by him. And he has to admit that Kim has a melodious voice and a face just as beautiful.

At 6:05 Ajin and Anya left for the cafe and they were the first to arrive there. The cafe was empty as expected, but beautifully decorated.

Porchay opened the door for them. Anya looked at him and smiled. 'Porchay right? By the way, I like your coffee and you're extremely cute.

Porchay, on the other hand, had turned crimson from head to toe. "yes.. yes ma'am thanks. I mean, thank you very much, ma'am," he uttered. "Let me show you your table." He escorted them to the back of the cafe, where an immense table was placed which could accommodate at least 5-6 people.

Ajin wondered when it was last used.

"I will get something for you to drink,'' Porchay said while making his way to the kitchen. Ajin kept a hand on his shoulder. A sign to show him that he can relax. But, of course, Porchay had other plans.

Soon after that, Ohm and Nanon entered the cafe. Both of them very elegantly kissed each of Anya's cheeks and shook Ajin's hand. Everything about them was very elegant. Both of them were over-dressed for a little get-together (Ajin's opinion). Both of them were in suits, Ohm in maroon one and Nanao in the darkest shade of green. Ajin thought they could even get started with a ball.

Kim didn't show up until 6:30, Anya called him but he said he was on his way and told them to start without them.

"So Ajin, how did you end up dating our very own Anya?" Ohm asked Ajin very curiously.

"Well, long story short, she thought I was too hot to be left alone," Ajin replied.

The table busted into laughter.

"Ain't that the truth," Nanao said between chuckles. They went down to easy conversation after that.

Kim showed up at 7:45 so he wasn't on his way, back then. Kim was directed by Porchay (who was very red) to the table where the others were sitting.

They all stood up to greet him. Once Ajin got a full look at him. Up till dawn. He understood why Porchay was so red. His features were very sharp, his cheekbones high as a castle's gate, glittering eyes, and astonishing pink lips.

He kissed Anya's cheeks and then proceeded to shake Ajin's, Ohm's, and Nanao's hands.

"You took your sweet time getting ready, pretty princess." Anya teased him.

"Well a pretty princess needs its beauty sleep to look pretty" Kim deadpans.

Ajin snorted.

"Well now you have missed Porchay's first course of food which was bloody delicious," Anya said back.

"Is that so?" said Kim slowly turning towards Porchay.

Porchay panicked, now that he was the center of attention. Poor kid.

"No... I mean, I can make it once again if you want," he ranted.

Kim just laughed and waved his hand.

"No need, just get me whatever is next."

"On it," Porchay said and practically ran towards the kitchen.

Kim only drew his eyes off him when he was inside the kitchen and smiled. "Why is he so nervous?"

"Well, you don't get celebrities in your cafe daily, do you?" Ajin replied.

"you've got a point, we're rich and extremely good-looking," Ohm said while high-fiving Nanao.

Soon Porchay came in with several dishes and bottles of wine.

Kim helped him unload the tray and while doing that, Kim's hand touched Porchay's. Kim didn't even notice that but Porchay did and dropped the bowl of soup he was holding and it landed on the table with a splash.

The soup didn't completely pour out. Thank god for that. But, some of the hot soup splashed on the sleeve of the white shirt that Kim was wearing.

Once again, for the thousandth time, Porchay went into his panic mode.

"I'm so sorry, I'm sorry" he kept on ranting on ranting while cleaning Kim's sleeve with a napkin that he took out of his pocket.

"It's okay! You guys continue I will back from the washroom." Saying that Kim went to the washroom followed by a very embarrassed-looking Porchay.

Anya signed "Poor Kim didn't even get to eat."

 In the bathroom 

"I'm sorry," said Porchay for the hundredth time.

"I'm fine, it's okay" Kim followed suit.

"But... it must have hurt and I ruined your shirt." Said Porchay while washing his napkin and proceeding to clean Kim's shirt once again.

"Ah, about that..... It's nothing, you would just have to pay me 10,000 baths for it." Kim said seriously.

Porchay's eyes widened, and Kim laughed.

"I'm kidding; you don't have to pay me anything."

"Please don't make jokes like this. I'm already very nervous," Porchay said, easing a bit.

"You don't need to; I'm also just a human like you, not a god and you are way cuter than me, look."

After taking the napkin that Porchay was holding, Kim grasped Porchay's chin and directed it towards the bathroom mirror, showing both of their faces there.

Porchay saw both their faces. An actor, a barista. Kim's expensive clothes and Porchay's apron. No, they could not be the same. His face burned where Kim's delicate fingers were holding him.

Kim realized what he was doing and freed Porchay's face from his hold.

"Sorry, I should have asked before touching you" Kim muttered.

"No, it's okay, you don't have to apologize for anything," Porchay said in seconds.

Kim smiled at him. "Same goes for you."

They stared at each other for a moment. The only sound was of the tap running carelessly in the basin and the faint laugh of Nanao who was probably laughing at a joke that Ohm made.

Kim cleared his throat and Porchay blinked into the present.

"I should get going; they must be waiting for me." He kept the napkin in his pocket and without uttering another word; he went out of the washroom.

--------

Kim quickly went out of the washroom before he could do anything stupid like, kiss that boy!

He joined the table and soon after that Porchay got Kim his food.

Kim muttered a "thanks", not looking up at Porchay.

Ajin knew something happened in the washroom cause even after everyone was fully drunk after the desert. Kim and Porchay were awkward around each other.

Anya wasn't even in the position to walk so, as her assistant he decided to call it a night for her.

He held her by her shoulder after she was done yelling goodbye to Porchay from the parking lot.

Ajin himself was sober, he was in the condition to drive, but he was a headache because it was dead at night and Anya was being a stubborn bitch asking him to turn the radio or full volume.

Ajin snapped at her and told her to shut up. Please. She pouted for a while then didn't know how but she fell asleep in her seat.

When they finally reached her penthouse Ajin tried to wake her up but she was sleeping like a sloth.

So he ended up carrying her on his shoulder. If a random human would see them that would probably think that he was kidnapping her but thank the goodness no one was around.

He took the lift to her floor and..... GODDAMIT! It has a digital lock.

He carefully laid Anya down, her back taking support of the wall. He kneeled in front of her.

"Anya" he whispered and Anya groaned, "Anya, I need to know the password, what is the password?" He said while lightly hitting Anya's red cheek.

She groaned, "I don't know, I think it was my birthday." Anya said like she doesn't give a fuck.

"You think! Oh my god," Ajin signed.

He didn't know her birthday. So he took his phone out to google it.

And..... His phone was dead.

What is it that the universe has to be against him??

He kicked Anya's door in frustration while she was peacefully sleeping.

The door opened on its own after a moment or two. The person must have heard Ajin kick the door.

But wait, Anya lives alone! Who in the hell?

The door opened, revealing the person who opened it. There was a man. Okay! What in the freaking world was a man doing in Anya's penthouse?

He was wearing shorts and a grey T-shirt which said, 'SCRUBB.'

When Ajin saw his face properly. He...
