"And you're the most beautiful creature I've ever seen in my life."

After this sentence rolled of the elder's tongue so effortlessly, Jeongguk seemed surprised and flustered at that, body and mind being moved by the stranger's words. He has never ever experienced that some customer would just tell him such a thing that showed admiration.

And as Jeongguk stared with enlargened eyes at him, his mind meanwhile started to progress the beauty of the man. A perfectly straight nose, slim face, beautiful amber eyes in which Jeongguk has lost himself. His eyes suited his tan skin, looking sun-kissed. Also, that bandana with soft Aqua colored patterns which slicked back his dark-brownish hair was such a look.

"Oh, Uhm, I-I..." he stuttered, his body suddenly tensing up as nervousness and somewhat unexplainable excitement was coursing through his veins. "Oh, did I make you flustered? I'm sorry, beautiful." his voice spoke softly, and that's when Jeongguk felt shivers run down his spine at how deep, how sexy his voice was.

"Jeongguk-ah! Order for table 04 is ready!" someone from the back called out in korean which both males understood. Jeongguk flinched and flattered his eyelashes multiple times, finally coming back to reality. "Ah- I'm sorry, I need to go" the waiter said, slowly pulling his wrist away, and Taehyung let it slide away from his fingers, nodding.

"I'll be waiting then, beautiful." he reassured, using that nickname again which made Jeongguk feel such flurry in his stomach. The apples of his cheeks turned red as he smiled softly and bowed slightly and politely, before turning away quickly and rushing to serve the order.

While Jeongguk tried to explain himself the burning curiosity and the strength of interest towards the stranger as he went to serve the order, Taehyung kept his eyes glued to the beautiful back and body of the interesting waiter, not overlooking how temptingly tiny his waist was. He licked his dry lips at that view, not taking his eyes off of him, even for a second.

"Fuck he's so fine." he murmured to himself, watching how Jeongguk moved his slim legs all the way from the counter and to the table numbered 04, watching how his lips formed a soft and polite smile towards his customers. Suddenly, everything that Jeongguk was doing seemed so graceful and amazing to Tae.

Taehyung himself thought he was crazy for just suddenly being on all his heels, just for a lovely stranger he just met. But deep inside, Taehyung felt that it wasn't just his beauty which he was interested in. He felt something more. Something he couldn't explain just yet.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*

Hours passed and Taehyung was still sitting in the same pizzeria, on the same spot, doing the same he was doing before. Watching Jeongguk working.

He has received his food and drink a long time ago, and his table was cleaned a long time ago too. However he wished to stay and sit there, to watch the young boy do his work.

And as time has passed, now having the afternoon, Jungkook was getting more and more busy, needing to fasten up cleaning the tables so new customers could take seats and such. However as he was doing these duties, he felt tense. Tense because he knew that a someone kept watching his every move.

At some point, Jeongguk became more and more frustrated, since he didn't really know how he should react to that teasing, good-looking man. He himself was interested, he couldn't deny, but somehow, at his only stare, he felt helpless, as if the man was having him in his tight grip, just by staring so intimidatingly.

Jeongguk, not knowing how he should feel about that intruding and burning, interesting feeling he has never felt before, quickly turned on his heels and walked straight to a specific staff room, closing the wooden-dark door afterwards. He really needed advice from a good friend right now, or he'd go crazy, he thought.

The staff room was a place where Jeongguk usually spent his breaks with his friend Jimin, who was another waiter in Jin's handsome pizzeria. His eyes quickly roamed around the smaller room to spot his older best friend, and luck seemed to accompany him, since Jimin was currently indeed having a small break, sitting at their table and drinking a cup of tea.

He walked to his blond-haired, smaller friend which shared the same uniform as him, who raised his head at the sound of someone opening the door. A fond smile crosses Jimin's plump lips as he greeted his friend. "Jungkookie! Want a cup of tea too?"

"Hey Jimin- I-" he breathed as he sat down, the nervousness he felt clearly visible by his shaking fingers and moving around way too much than necessary, being fidgety. "No thank you, I- I prefer water."

Jimin nodded and stood up to walk to a counter on which several bottles with juice and water were standing, to pour his best friend some water into a glas. However he didn't miss the nervous behavior of Jungkook, and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Is everything okay? You seem so nervous. Did something happen?" he asked carefully, looking at him as he came back with a glas of water, putting it down on the table. Jeongguk thanked quietly, and took a sip before he finally answered.

"I-it's a customer. He—" the younger started, but Jimin gasped loudly, interrupting him.

"Did he harass or hurt you?! We gotta tell Jinnie!" he said outraged and stood up, ready to walk out if not Jeongguk's hand on his arm that stopped him in panic. "Yah! No! It's not like that! Just- sit down and calm down, okay? No one's harassing me." he reassured, and Jimin looked at him before he sighed and sat back down again.

"Alright then, what's up with that customer?" he asked being calmer, now that he knows that no one has hurt his best friend.

Jeongguk fidgeted with his fingers and lowered his head, a slight blush appearing on the apples of his cheeks. "He's... pretty hot. A Korean, I guess. Incredibly handsome. And- and he won't stop staring at me. It has been hours since he's sitting here and- he even called me the most beautiful creature he has ever seen! And- I'm flustered." Jeongguk explained, mostly murmuring.

Jimin widened his eyes in surprise. "Damn, you really must have caught his interest if he says things like that," he stated, drinking from his tea. "And- staring at you for hours? How do you feel about that?"

"Well... honestly, I don't dislike it... I actually like it. Even though it sounds so weird that I don't have anything against a complete stranger watching me." he admitted, and Jimin hummed in response, drinking his tea.

"You know, most of the people that come here are all just vacationers. Maybe you should hang out with him a little after work or somethin'? As long as he's here?" Jimin proposed, and Jeongguk looked at him curiously, letting him continue to speak.

"And who knows- maybe you guys will actually become good friends, or even more. And if not- it's fine too, he'll return home and you'll return to your work."

Jeongguk sat there and thought about it for a moment, staring at his glass of water. Then, he smiled to himself, thinking that maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. He wouldn't lose anything if it turned out that he and that stranger aren't suited to be friends at all. Thus, he looked up at his friend and smiled sincerely.

"That's a good idea, Jiminie. Thank you! I'll be returning to work now," he said, seeming more calm now after his talk with Jimin and stood up, emptying his glass and putting it to a sink, quickly rushing to leave the room.

"Of course Jungkookie! Take care!" Jimin called after him before the door fell close completely, and Jeongguk felt the heavy weight of nervousness finally leave his shoulders. He sighed in relief, and looked around the restaurant with a happy smile.

A smile which faded away as soon as he spotted the seat on which the stranger sat on, empty.

Jeongguk furrowed his eyebrows. Maybe he went to the toilets? he thought, having some hopes in his mind.

However twenty minutes passed- at least- and he still wasn't returning. More and more time passed while Jeongguk was serving food and writing orders on his notebook, keep glancing to the empty seat.

A sad smile started to form his lips as he was returning to the kitchen where Jin, the owner of this restaurant, was cooking, to give him the order. Jeongguk chuckled fondly, laughing at himself how naive his thoughts were before.

He was gone.
