"Felix?"
"hey" He says revealing his pearly white teeth.
"I thought you had soccer practice."
"I did. Today was just introductions so they let us go early." He replies.
"Oh. Cool" I say as I take the stairs towards rooms. "See ya at lunch." I wave before disappearing into my room.
I had just come back from college. Chan had accompanied me all along and bade goodbye when we split ways. I don't exactly know chan but from what I have experienced today, he didn't seem like a person I should ignore. He was nice or I must say, extremely nice and polite to me.
I dive right on my bed and exhale.
"I gotta look for a job" I mumble.
Seems like I've got work to do this evening. Might as well take felix with me, only if he wants to. He might need his space coz we're always hanging out together, I don't want him to feel like his world revolves around me.

Felix tagged along with me the moment I said I was gonna look for a job. Seems like we're both gonna end up working in the same place. After exploring the area for some minutes, we stop in front of a café which has a job vacancy poster outside it.
"Good evening" a woman with brunette medium length hair chimes in and smiles. She is in a cute dress with a navy blue apron on it.
We greet her back in unison. I tell her that I'm here for a job before she leads our way towards a table. She tells us to wait some minutes before the manager arrives. In the mean time she offers us a glass of water and the free cookies they offer to those who visit them for the first time.
After some minutes, a man in blue apron similar to that of the woman approaches us.
"Hello." He greets and we both stand up to greet him back.
"I am Hwang Hyunjin and-
He's cut off by Felix choking on water. He coughs and I rub his back to help him. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Sorry, yeah. Thanks for asking." He replies whilst wiping his face with the tissue Hyunjin had passed him.
"Easy, mate." Hyunjin says as he gives Felix a concerned look.
"So" He clasps his hands together. "The manager is on leave today so I'll be the one dealing with you guys." He smiles.
I take a moment to appreciate his visuals. Every single thing is in perfect proportions and if I'm not wrong, he's the reason why people visit this place.
"Wha- h-hi" I'm brought back to my senses when I feel a nudge on my shoulder. T'was obviously Felix.
"I'm y/n, nice to meet you." I manage to plaster the most charming smile I could muster.
"I'm felix."
That was all it took to get the job. He didn't ask us anything else. All we said was our names and Hyunjin replied with a "you're in". They must really need workers, huh?
We started working from the very next day. I was appointed to work along with Hyunjin at the counter to prepare drinks while Felix was in charge of taking orders, he was the waiter. Attracting costumers and holding them here for a long time till they order everything that comes out of felix's mouth in his heavy yet soothingly scrumptious voice is definitely his kinda job. Till the time he spills out the names of various delicacies from his mouth, the costumers focus either on his face or on his veiny arms which peep out of the rolled up sleeves of his white shirt.
It's only our first day at work and I'm already hyperventilating at the amount of costumers gathered in the café. Most of them are either teenage girls or adult females. I feel like Hyunjin and Felix should be payed extra for their looks which counts as a huge contribution in promoting this café.
