- petty kakyoin?!?

Being a waitress wasn't as fun sometimes. People will argue with you for no reason, and some might flirt with you, but "the customer is always right". Ugh, how you hated that phrase. It's the number one thing any person working in customer service should know, but it's not exactly true. You have to keep the reputation up for the restaurant, plus you might get fired if you don't abide by that rule.

You worked at some high-end restauant, where wealthy people would come to enjoy some really overpriced food. You always keep a smile on your face for the tips, and the tips were often generous. One of the perks of being a waitress.

"Hey, y/n. We've got a customer in your section, table 17," your manager says.

You pick up your notepad and put a pen on your ear, then you start walking to the table.

"Hi, I'm Y/N and I'll be your-" you abruptly stopped your sentence because of who the customer was.

"Kakyoin?!"

He chuckles and smiles very sweetly at you, "Hey, Y/N. It's raining outside, so I thought I'd come pick you up. Your shift is about to end, right?"

Noriaki Kakyoin, your very sweet and loving boyfriend of 1 year. He transferred to your high school, and on his first day, he disappeared for 50 days. He came back, and well, you kind of asked him on a date. Crazy, right? You didn't think you had the confidence. That's one thing he loves about you.

But just because you were confident enough to ask him out, you're still such a blushing mess whenever he does something that makes your heart skip a beat. Like right now, when he showed up to your workplace to pick you up because it was raining.

"Yeah, in like 5 minutes. You didn't have to do that, you know? You're too kind..." you blush.

"It's really the bare minimum, my love. I hope work hasn't stressed you out too much today?" he says as he keeps his smile. He really has a lot of time on his hands.

You shake your head, "Not much today, but that's just because you showed up. Anyways, what would you like?"

He reads through the menu and his jaw dropped. If he ordered a meal, it will surely hurt his wallet!

"Haha, uh. Everything's sort of expensive. Like really expensive. I'll just have some tea or something," he replies, a sweat bead dripping down the side of his face.

You nod and head back to the kitchen to grab an iced tea.

When you were walking back, Kakyoin noticed that another customer seated next to him watched you walk away as well, but his eyes were fixated on your ass. Kakyoin stayed calm, but just the tiniest bit mad. The guy was wearing a white suit and was drinking champagne.

To be honest, Kakyoin doesn't really care when a guy checks you out or when a guy flirts with you because he knows that you love him, and he trusts you completely. He just doesn't like the guys who dare to look at you with bad intentions. The first thing he notices when he looks at you isn't your body, it's the bright smile you always give him whenever you're around him. You're a loyal person, and one of the many qualities Kakyoin agreed to go on a date with you.

When you give him his tea and walk away, Kakyoin takes his drink and sits in front of the guy that was checking you out.

"Hey, bro. You're blocking my view of that waitress," the lavish man says.

Kakyoin smiles, but it isn't a genuine smile at all. It's a petty, smug smile.

"I know," he says, "She is really beautiful, isn't she?"

The guy takes a sip from his glass, "Oh, yeah. For sure. How much you want to bet that I can get her by the end of the night?"

Kakyoin clenches his fist underneath the table, still keeping up his fake smile, "Ah... about that. You see, I wouldn't bet on that if I were you. It's too bad that she's my girlfriend."

You walk out of the kitchen to meet with Kakyoin, but he's not at his table. You see him sitting with one of the regular customers.

You put your hand on his shoulder from behind, "You ready to go?"

He slips his hand into yours, giving the back of your hand a kiss before standing up, "Yeah, I'm ready. Let's go."

The man almost drops his champagne. What did he just witness? Kakyoin gives him a side glare as he walks away with you.

"What was that about?" you ask.

"Oh, nothing. We just had a chat," Kakyoin responds.

You raise an eyebrow, "He seemed kind of shocked when you kissed my hand..."

Kakyoin sighs in defeat, knowing that you can tell if he's lying or not, "He was staring at you, but he stared somewhere that crossed the line for me."

"Oh? Is that so? You didn't have to be so protective over me... he wasn't bothering me. It's normal," you blush.

"Mhm, well it was bothering me," Kakyoin says as he takes off his coat and puts it around you.

You sigh contently, basking in his scent, "By the way. I paid for your tea. It was ten dollars."

"Ten dollars?!" he exclaims, "Just for a cup of tea?"

You shrug, "I told you it was overpriced."

You almost made it to Kakyoin's car, then he suddenly pulled you close to him.

"N-Nori, what are you doing?" you blush at the sudden gesture, "We're gonna get drenched in this rain!"

He laughs softly through his smile, "Yeah, I know."

He caresses your cheek and then slowly pulls you in for a tender, loving kiss in the pouring rain.
