Chapter 41 - Chapter 38

Soobin was silently going back after serving Yeonjun. He was quite depressed. The joyful feeling was gone after he heard Yeonjun got himself a boyfriend. Right then, a customer dropped his spoon which fell right in front of Soobin.

"Hey! Pick up the spoon for me!" He ordered.

"Yes, Sir!" Soobin innocently bent down to pick the spoon up when he freezed because he noticed the guy just grabbed his butt and pressed it.

"Hehe, you got my eyes as soon as I saw you. Won't you offer me a special service? I know this face isn't just for showing, right? And the perky and sexy back of yours." he said and put on a very ugly smirk. Soobin stood up and tried to walk away when he grabbed his wrist and pulled him closer.

"I heard you guys have special offers for your customers. Is it true? Let me be your first and only customer ton…" he couldn't finish his sentences because something just hit his head hardly and he got hurt. He let go of Soobin and touched his head. He noticed it was a fork made of steel.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I don't know how it flew to you! Hahaha!" Yeonjun smiled and stole his attention so that Soobin could escape.

"You son of a bitch! You're trying to teach me that the fork flew on its own, huh?" the guy became furious as his head got swollen because of the hit.

"I'm sorry! I'll give you a free ice mocha as compensation, sounds good?" Yeonjun had his business smile on his face though he was cursing him badly in his mind. He truly wanted to punch the guy's face and smash his nose, but he resisted himself thinking it could affect Soobin.

Meanwhile, Soobin rushed to the staff room. His whole body was trembling. He was getting the feeling again. He was breathing heavily and understood he was almost having his panic attack again. He ran to the washroom and splashed water on his face again and again. Then he looked at the mirror and tried to calm down. But it wasn't helping. Rather threw up as soon as he looked at the mirror.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Yeonjun was huffing as he ran to the spot. He tried to follow Soobin, but that guy wasn't easy to handle. So, he searched for Soobin all over the place and finally found him. He was in a hurry and that's why he was also breathing heavily.

He noticed Soobin standing in front of a sink while looking downward. He came to Soobin and touched him. That was when he felt how Soobin was shaking.

"Hey! Soobin-ah! Hey! Look at me!" He grabbed Soobin's arm and made him look at him. He got scared when he found him in that situation again.

Soobin was breathing so heavily that he couldn't reply to Yeonjun.

"C-can you g-grab m-my i-inha-hah… *huff* *huff* he couldn't finish his words as he was out of breath.

"W-where i-is i-it? T-t-tell me! I-I I'll go-go…" Yeonjun got so afraid because he knew what was happening and how dangerous it could be. Moreover, Soobin's body felt like it had no strength left and he would collapse anytime.

"M-my d-d-draw-er." Soobin finally let go of his body and fell on Yeonjun. Yeonjun hugged him tightly, but couldn't understand what he should do. He can't just leave him alone in this situation. But he also needed to get the inhaler as soon as possible. He tried his wholeheartedly and succeeded in princess carrying Soobin. He took him out of the washroom and went to the staff room. Soobin wasn't in his sane mind, but he could understand what was going on. Though he felt embarrassed, he hugged Yeonjun very tightly which made him feel at ease. He was having a hard time breathing, but it wasn't feeling too unbearable. Yeonjun was a little surprised when Soobin hugged him tightly and hid his face in Yeonjun's chest. Although he was a big guy and a bit heavy to carry, Yeonjun felt he shouldn't let go of him at that moment.

But, he needed to find the meds for Soobin. So, he made Soobin sit on a chair and asked, "can you tell me which one is your drawer?"

"Th-the third one f-from th-the l-left." Soobin replied as he could calm down a bit.

"Found it!" Yeonjun ran to Soobin after he found the inhaler and uncapped it. He put it in front of him and helped Soobin spray it inside his mouth. At last, Soobin came back to his normal stage. He took a long breath.

"Are you okay now? Is it uncomfortable anywhere? Should I take you to the hospital?" Yeonjun asked as he was very anxious.

"No, I'm fine!" Soobin replied without looking at Yeonjun.

"Are you sure? Then, let me help you with your tasks today, okay?" Yeonjun asked.

"No-no! You are in the middle of your date. So, I can't bother you! I'm fine now! I can get back to work after taking ten minutes of rest." Soobin tried to smile but failed.

"Ei! Don't worry! He's not that petty! I'm willing to help and of course it's not free! You have to grant me a wish… um… no! Three! Three wishes! What do you say?" Yeonjun put his hand on Soobin's shoulder. He thought Soobin would reject him this time as well. But, surprising him, Soobin hugged Yeonjun by his waist and hid his face in Yeonjun's stomach again.

"Thank you. I don't know if thanks is enough, but I'm really thankful to you for staying beside me." Though Soobin was a little embarrassed while saying that and that's why he hugged him, he didn't want to let go of Yeonjun.

Yeonjun was flabbergasted for a while, but he touched Soobin's arm and blushed when he heard Soobin was appreciating him. He took a long breath to calm his thumping heart. Then, he hugged Soobin back lightly. How nice it'd be if he could be able to do this every day!

"Um…let's… get… to work now?" Soobin let go of Yeonjun first and when he realized he was still embraced by the other person, he felt shy. He couldn't tell Yeonjun to let go of him directly.

"Oh! Hahaha! Let's go!" Yeonjun finally let go of Soobin as he was a little awkward.

"What should I do? Let me serve the customers for you today, alright?" Yeonjun smiled while both of them walked to the kitchen.

"Thanks! I'll have to bother you cause I don't think I can confront any other people today." Soobin said in a low and hurtful voice.

"I'd love to serve you, my grace!" Yeonjun mumbled as he was trying to hide his smile.

"Huh?" Soobin asked because he couldn't understand what Yeonjun was saying.

"I mean, I'd love to help you so don't worry! Hahaha!" Yeonjun was trying to cover what he just said and meant.

"Then, wear this so that you'd look like a worker here." Soobin took off his apron and gave it to Yeonjun.

"Wow! I've always wanted to wear something like this! That'd make me look extra hot, right?" Yeonjun's face gleamed and his eyes started to sparkling as soon as he got the apron. Moreover, it was Soobin's! He couldn't hid his excitement and started sniffing it. Soobin went towards the computer, but he wanted to see if Yeonjun already put it or not. But his face turned red as tomato when he saw Yeonjun sniffing his apron.

"Wait! What is he doing! Don't do that! What if it stink? Wait! Why should I care if it stink or smell nice? What has gotten to him! Stop sniffing already! How long he is gonna take?" Soobin was all flustered, but couldn't say anything out loud.
