Invisible love
Summary: They were just a stranger to one another, that happened to bumped in between the crowd. And there's no 'love at the first sight or whatsoever' happened; since he already madly in love with someone else, that he would do anything for that person. Because love only happened once in a lifetime and he had found his love already. So, that stranger, named Eunhyuk, doesn't mean anything to him.
It was a very fancy and high class restaurant. The waiters stood by the tables prim, proper in their tuxedos and always ready to serve. The soft melody of piano complete the fanciness of the restaurant as some different song was played continuously. The door opened, a gorgeous lady with her equally attractive spouse, a young man, walked in to the restaurant, automatically becomes the center of attention every pair of the eyes in there.
“Eunhyuk, your turn!” said the manager firmly. Immediately stopped mesmerized the couple also, Eunhyuk then walk toward the couple as the commanded and bring them to their table. After a while, he left the table again, to give some space and time for them to look over at the menu.
-------
“Sir, do you want the steak rare, medium rare or well done?” Eunhyuk asked the man with the gorgeous lady, after done listing up their orders. He eyed him occasionally; the man was dressed in a suit that might cost 5 times of his monthly salary. He can’t help but felt jealous with that guy. That guy has everything, money, expensive suit and all. Also he has a really beautiful lady as his partner. And he had nothing but that heartless manager who never keeps his eyes away off him.
“Let mine be medium rare and she want hers well done.” The guy said, with a voice that conveys a sense of quiet confidence.
“Okay. I get it, sir. Anything else?”
“Nothing.” The guy said again, shaking his head lightly.
“Okay.” Eunhyuk politely and carefully take back the menu books from the table. “Please wait a moment. Your meals will be served soon.” He said then turned his back towards the counter to deliver the order to the head chef.
“Eunhyuk!” called the manager again as another couple walked in to the restaurant. Aware with the tone, he immediately went to do his job once again.
“Bastard!” He mumbled when walked to the couple while side-glance at the manager who’s keeps ordering him to do the job nonstop.
Eunhyuk was aware that the manager, Joowon, also known as boss’s son who was under training before taking over the restaurant; had always watching him like an eagle eyeing his prey. Since the first day he starts working there, Joowon had never pleased with him. Actually they’re rivals since their college days, because he had always lost to Eunhyuk in everything they participate in. Now he’s taking his revenge. Eunhyuk also still cannot believe how he ended up working there, but he’s working there. Even it just one temporary job, but he’s still concern about it because getting a steady job with a good salary is quite hard nowadays. He had gone to many companies for an interview but never get any feedback yet.
The salary from this job is the only one that accommodates his daily life, also he still needs to pay off his debt, rented a room, pay his bills and still need to save money for other things. So, he needs to keep this job dearly until he gets a steady job if he wants to continue to live.
“Hey? Are you even listening?” the middle aged man raised his eyebrows and also his voice, much to Eunhyuk’s embarrassment.
“I’m sorry, sir. Come again?” Eunhyuk apologized, while inside his mind, he cursed himself for his carelessness.
“I said… I want my steak to be medium rare and she wants the baked spaghetti.” That man said again, feeling annoyed for repeating the same things.
“Okay, sir! Anything else?”
“No, you can leave us now…. I don’t wanna see you face anymore around.” The man sneered. “Such an ass.” Eunhyuk sighed heavily listened to the man mumbled when he’s still not far from their table. Clearly, that man wants him to hear him. Eunhyuk then saw his manager’s amused smirks. It’s not a good sign.
With heavy heart, he walked to the counter to give the order. “1 Maple & Blue Cheese Steak and 1 baked spaghetti for table 8 please!” Eunhyuk said to the head chef through the small window linking to the kitchen.
“How do they want the steak done?” The head chef asked back.
“Rare!” Eunhyuk said carelessly, doesn’t notice that the smirks on his manager’s face become wider once Eunhyuk said it.
“Please enjoy your meals, sir!” Eunhyuk said while smiling, placing the plate on the table of the young couple of that attractive young man and gorgeous young lady.
“Thank you…” The couple said in unison and smiles back to him.
“If you need more assistance, I’m pleased to help.”
“No, that’s okay. Thanks.”
Eunhyuk then walked away from the table again and he cannot help but to glance at the couple once again. He wondered, where he had been seen that gorgeous lady. She seems familiar. But shrugged it off immediately, she might be one of the regular customers at the restaurant. Nothing special.
“Wow, she’s really pretty.” Eunhyuk then accidently heard his colleagues’ talking; while they secretly looking at the young couple that he had just served.
“She’s prettier in real life than on TV.” Said another one.
“You both know her?” Eunhyuk cannot help but butted in their conversation.
“Are crazy? You don’t know her?” One of them inquired instantly, disbelieve with him.
“She seems familiar, but I cannot register who she is.” He replied truthfully.
“She’s quite a famous model.” The other guy said.
“What? Really?” Eunhyuk’s eyes little bit widen.
“Yeah! I can believe you don’t know her.” He added again while shaking his head.
“Well, I don’t have much time to spent and stay in front of the TV after all….” Eunhyuk said while shrugged. Time is really precious for him to just waste it like that. There are many things that he could do that can help him to improve his life.
“Table 8!” the head chef suddenly called behind the small window. Eunhyuk sighed; it’s really tiring to serve several tables in one time. Another cursed was heard inside his mind for his manager. It would be great if he can just stop working there, but no he cannot.
“Excuse me, sir!” Eunhyuk said softly, feeling sorry that he needs to interrupt their conversation but he needs to serve them the food and hope he can get away from there quickly. He just doesn’t want to deal with that picky customer longer then he need to. “Please enjoy your foods, sir.” Eunhyuk said with manner and slightly bowed before he walked away. He is about to turn around when suddenly the middle aged man called for him again.
“What is this?” That man asked immediately in loud voice that can be heard by everyone in the restaurant. “I asked for medium rare, but this is totally rare. Can’t you see? Is this what you called medium rare?” That man said pointed at the blood specks on the meat. Eunhyuk looked at the plate and realize that he had just committed a grave mistake. ‘That’s why that damn bastard smirking to him likes an idiot. He had known this all along.’
“I’m terribly sorry, sir…. It was my fault. I’m sorry…” Eunhyuk bowed continuously for several times, admitting his fault.
“Do you think sorry would be enough? Where’s your manager? I wanna talked with your manager! How can he hire someone so careless like you? You’re really such a pain in ass.” That man face’s hardened with anger. The restaurant full with his voice and Eunhyuk can feel that every pairs of eyes was on them now.
And like he had planned it, Joowon has automatically stood beside Eunhyuk. “I’m the manager. What can I help you, sir? Is something wrong with the food?” Joowon said and smiled sweetly at the couple. Eunhyuk clenched his fists to contain his anger. Joowon must really wait for this thing to finally come, that’s why he was so calm and composed. Usual he would devastated when other employees make a mistake.
“Wrong? Everything is wrong. This steak is so wrong. I clearly order it as medium rare… but look…. Is this medium rare? I’m not blind; I can see that this is rare. You expect me to eat something like this?” That man scowled.
“Oh… is that so…. To whom you order this food?” Joowon intentionally asked.
“To him!” That man pointed at Eunhyuk.
“I’m sorry on his behalf, sir…” Joowon smiled apologetically.
“Sorry, that’s all you can say! How can you hire a deaf like him?” that man said still in wrath. Eunhyuk bite his lips, didn’t even dare to lift up his face to look at the other.
“I’m really sorry, sir. We’ll replace it with the medium rare steak as soon as possible, sir.” Joowon lifted up the plate and shoved it to Eunhyuk. Immediately take the plate, bowed and apologize again, Eunhyuk then quickly walked away still didn’t dare to looked up. He knows, every single person in there is now watching that short drama. “I’m sorry again, sir. We’ll serve your food in an instant.” Joowon slightly lower his head, not noticed by anyone else he smirks.
“I’m sorry…” Eunhyuk said to the head chef while giving him the still untouched steak and ran all the way to the backdoor of the restaurant. He leaned on the door as he gasped for air and looked at his hands. He was trembling, of anger. He never once felt so much anger in himself before. He cannot believe that he can have that much anger in him. He now had lost to Joowon. He now can imagine him scouring on the streets to search for another temporary job.
After a moment of calming himself, Eunhyuk take one deep breath and walked in the restaurant again. Things had happened, no matter what, he still need to face the reality.
“Eunhyuk-hyung….” It was then, after the restaurant had closed, one of his colleagues came after him in the locker room. “Joowon-ssi, want to meet you in his office!” Said his friend.
“Okay, Minwoo-ah. Thanks!” Eunhyuk said and stand up to walk out of the room after done packing his belongings and quickly headed to the office.
When he walked into the office, there’s already an amused smirks plastered on Joowon’s face. Eunhyuk shut the door and moving deeper into the room toward in front of his desk. His manager looked really pleased.
“What a really interesting show just now, don’t you think so too?” He smiles like an idiot again. “I guess you must have known the reason why I’m calling for you right now.” He said straight to the point. Angry Joowon can finally take his revenge.
“I know.” Eunhyuk said much to whisper. He knew better than to argue further, because it’s really his fault.
“You made the same mistake again and you know that there’s no third chance exist in my world. I’m already kind enough when I let my dad to give you the second chance. So, pack your bags and leave… and the employee-room that you currently rent in, I want it to be empty by tomorrow evening. Also, here is your salary for this month. He said, handling Eunhyuk an envelope that contain a pile of money.
Eunhyuk grabbed the envelope. “At least I don’t need to see your face again.” Eunhyuk muttered. “That’s a good thing.” He continued and walked out of the room towards the locker room to takes his belonging and want to quickly go back home. He needs to pack all his things and search a place to live in before tomorrow evening arrive. That does require a lot of time and money too. Lucky that he got this month’s pay, it can help him to survive for another one or two week’s maximum.
“What happened?” As he headed out of the locker room, Junsu, one of his colleagues grabbed him by the arm. He’s quite close with him compare to his other coworkers.
“I’ve been dismissed.”
“Because of that small matter.” Junsu said suddenly furious.
“Nah… don’t worry, I know all along that this thing would happened anytime and coincidently today is that day. He had been so eager to kick me out since the first day I step in here.” Eunhyuk said, smiling to him.
“He’s being so childish.”
Eunhyuk chuckled amusedly at that quite true fact. Joowon doesn’t act as a professional at all, meddle their personal affairs with work. What’s more childish than that.
“So, what you gonna do now?”
“What else? I will be looking for new employment. And new place to leave to. ‘That baby’ just gave me time until tomorrow evening to clear my belongings from his room.”
“That’s so insane! He’s really being ridiculous.”
“Nah… He’s just being him. Well then, I need to go now. Hope to see you again outside someday.” With that, he took his leave and walked out the door, going towards his rent-room for the last time a few block from the restaurant.
“I better call Heechul-hyung and hitching at his place for a while before found another place….” He sighed deeply.
------빠삐용------
The loud, continuous noise of doorbell fills the apartment when guest that come outside the house eagerly waiting for the host to open the door. The doorbell sound then changed to the loud knock when the owner of the house is taking much longer than usual to open the door.
“Oppa, wait a minute!” The host, a lady, then answered knowing exactly who her guest is.
She opened the door for the guest and was shocked when a guy immediately being grabbed her and kissed her on lips when they were still barely inside the house.
“Hae-oppa… comes inside first…” She moaned between the kisses.
So, they slowly broke off even they both not willing to let go of each other. But they both still have an image and reputation to be cared . The girl gasped for breath as they broke their kiss and she stared at her lover with flushed cheeks.
“Hey… what is that for?” She said shyly as Donghae ran his fingers on her cheek.
“I just really miss you, EunAe-ya…” Donghae smiled and intertwined their fingers. She then led him inside to the living room.
“We just meet last night…” She giggles at his childish behavior.
“But I still miss you…” Donghae whine and is about to pull her to sit on his lap when she shook her head, disagree with that action.
“You looked so pale, oppa. Have you eaten?”
Donghae shook his head. “I don’t have much time for the break, needs to attend lots of meeting today.” He whines.
“Oh, baby…. Did your mother command you around again?” Donghae nods his head, with eyes still closed. “I’m sorry, you become like this because of me.” She whispered slowly but had cause Donghae to immediately open his tired eyes.
“No baby…. That’s nothing…. Besides, I would do anything, everything because of you….” Donghae said, while brought her into his embrace.
“But for how long should we wait? I’m going crazy if this continue to be like this. I love you so much. I just can’t live without you.” She said wistfully, hugging him tight while suppressing her sobs.
“Me too…. You’re my everything. I don’t how to live if you’re not beside me.”
“I’m sorry…. We promised to not talk about this again but I still brought this up. I’m sorry…” She pushed him away slightly and wipes her wet eyes.
“That’s okay…. I’m going to make sure this will end soon. We can be happy together.” Donghae wipes the last drop of tears on her cheeks.
“I’ve always prayed for that.” She then smiles again. “Why don’t we eat first? You must be really hungry, oppa. What you wanna eat oppa?”
“I’m kinda craving for some Chinese foods.”
“Chinese foods? Ah… I know the best place.” EunAe intertwined their fingers once again and leading him out all the way.
“Lead the way, my lady.” Donghae said in a playful tone.

“1 Wonton noodle soup, 1 Chrysanthemum tea and 1 Pearl milk tea.” The waiter repeats back their orders after he placed them on the table, afraid that there’s something might be missing or less in the order. “Anything else, sir?” The waiter repeats again, because it was his job to make sure that customers are satisfied with their services. Because bad services means no customers, no customers then no business. If no business then no money.
“No, that’s all.” Donghae replied. “Thank you.” After slightly bowed his head, the waiter then walked away from them. It’s time for the couple to privately enjoy their dinner.
Donghae was chewing of some noodles when he suddenly noticed something… should be said noticed someone. For quite a time, his eyes keeps following that someone’s step, walking all over the place, serving the customers who’s keep come in and walked out of the restaurant. It’s never-ending. The restaurant always full with customers.
“Oppa, something’s wrong?” The girl looked at where Donghae was looking but she failed to detect the thing that had caught her lover’s interest.
“No… it’s okay….” Donghae then turned back his attention toward the food in front him but his mind never stopped thinking. “Baby…” He suddenly called. EunAe looked up to his eyes. “I know…”
“What’s it?”
“I know a way for us to be together….”
“Really? What is it?”
“I’m thinking of something, but let me handle it by myself first then I will tell you.” Donghae smiles wide, quite confident to proceed with the idea he just got. “I need you to trust me too!”
“Oppa…?”
“Believe in me, EunAe-ya.” Donghae said, looking straight into her eyes.
“Y-yea…” She nodded slowly, but still slightly hesitate and little bit of fear too.
“Come on, let’s finish this. And I will send you back home.”
“Why so early? I wanna be with you longer.” She pouted, sulking at the fact that they had just meet for a while and now Donghae is so eager to parted again.
“Listen, baby…. If my plan succeed then we can always be together, but until then we must be patience first, okay?”
“Okay…” She replied still pouting.

Eunhyuk was walking in front the restaurant’s pavement at around 11.15 pm after ended his shift that night. Well then, he still ending up at Heechul’s house yesterday without any other choice, and after knowing that Eunhyuk had lost his job, Heechul have using all his advantage to persuade his best friend, HanGeng, who’s owned a quite fancy Chinese restaurant to hire Eunhyuk almost instantly. As luck is in his side this time, Eunhyuk eventually doesn’t need to scouring on the streets to search for another temporary job. Having a friend who has a strong influence gives him some advantages sometimes. Eunhyuk felt quite happy having such a friend.
Walking to the nearest bus stop where he will take his ride home, Eunhyuk crossed his arms on his chest to keep himself warm. The coldness of the night gives a shiver to him despite of him already wearing quite thick clothes. Taking a seat on the bench, in the silence of the night he then heard a car from a distance coming closer. He didn’t really cared about it until a red Ferrari 458 Spider stopped exactly in front him. Little bit curious, Eunhyuk glances at the car and its owner.
“Oh….!” His mouth slightly opened making an ‘O’-shaped once the owner of the car walked nearing him. He looked at the young man with more curious glances.
“Lee Eunhyuk-ssi…” The guy stopped in front him.
“Oh!!!” Eunhyuk now looked at the guy dumbfounded. He doesn’t know that he had a millionaire acquaintance.
“Please be my lover!”
And Eunhyuk almost fainted after listened to the sudden confession.
It was a very fancy and high class restaurant. The waiters stood by the tables prim, proper in their tuxedos and always ready to serve. The soft melody of piano complete the fanciness of the restaurant as some different song was played continuously. The door opened, a gorgeous lady with her equally attractive spouse, a young man, walked in to the restaurant, automatically becomes the center of attention every pair of the eyes in there.

Donghae shook his head. “I don’t have much time for the break, needs to attend lots of meeting today.” He whines.
“Oh, baby…. Did your mother command you around again?” Donghae nods his head, with eyes still closed. “I’m sorry, you become like this because of me.” She whispered slowly but had cause Donghae to immediately open his tired eyes.
“No baby…. That’s nothing…. Besides, I would do anything, everything because of you….” Donghae said, while brought her into his embrace.
“But for how long should we wait? I’m going crazy if this continue to be like this. I love you so much. I just can’t live without you.” She said wistfully, hugging him tight while suppressing her sobs.
“Me too…. You’re my everything. I don’t how to live if you’re not beside me.”
“I’m sorry…. We promised to not talk about this again but I still brought this up. I’m sorry…” She pushed him away slightly and wipes her wet eyes.
“That’s okay…. I’m going to make sure this will end soon. We can be happy together.” Donghae wipes the last drop of tears on her cheeks.
“I’ve always prayed for that.” She then smiles again. “Why don’t we eat first? You must be really hungry, oppa. What you wanna eat oppa?”
“I’m kinda craving for some Chinese foods.”
“Chinese foods? Ah… I know the best place.” EunAe intertwined their fingers once again and leading him out all the way.
“Lead the way, my lady.” Donghae said in a playful tone.

“1 Wonton noodle soup, 1 Chrysanthemum tea and 1 Pearl milk tea.” The waiter repeats back their orders after he placed them on the table, afraid that there’s something might be missing or less in the order. “Anything else, sir?” The waiter repeats again, because it was his job to make sure that customers are satisfied with their services. Because bad services means no customers, no customers then no business. If no business then no money.
“No, that’s all.” Donghae replied. “Thank you.” After slightly bowed his head, the waiter then walked away from them. It’s time for the couple to privately enjoy their dinner.
Donghae was chewing of some noodles when he suddenly noticed something… should be said noticed someone. For quite a time, his eyes keeps following that someone’s step, walking all over the place, serving the customers who’s keep come in and walked out of the restaurant. It’s never-ending. The restaurant always full with customers.
“Oppa, something’s wrong?” The girl looked at where Donghae was looking but she failed to detect the thing that had caught her lover’s interest.
“No… it’s okay….” Donghae then turned back his attention toward the food in front him but his mind never stopped thinking. “Baby…” He suddenly called. EunAe looked up to his eyes. “I know…”
“What’s it?”
“I know a way for us to be together….”
“Really? What is it?”
“I’m thinking of something, but let me handle it by myself first then I will tell you.” Donghae smiles wide, quite confident to proceed with the idea he just got. “I need you to trust me too!”
“Oppa…?”
“Believe in me, EunAe-ya.” Donghae said, looking straight into her eyes.
“Y-yea…” She nodded slowly, but still slightly hesitate and little bit of fear too.
“Come on, let’s finish this. And I will send you back home.”
“Why so early? I wanna be with you longer.” She pouted, sulking at the fact that they had just meet for a while and now Donghae is so eager to parted again.
“Listen, baby…. If my plan succeed then we can always be together, but until then we must be patience first, okay?”
“Okay…” She replied still pouting.

Eunhyuk was walking in front the restaurant’s pavement at around 11.15 pm after ended his shift that night. Well then, he still ending up at Heechul’s house yesterday without any other choice, and after knowing that Eunhyuk had lost his job, Heechul have using all his advantage to persuade his best friend, HanGeng, who’s owned a quite fancy Chinese restaurant to hire Eunhyuk almost instantly. As luck is in his side this time, Eunhyuk eventually doesn’t need to scouring on the streets to search for another temporary job. Having a friend who has a strong influence gives him some advantages sometimes. Eunhyuk felt quite happy having such a friend.
Walking to the nearest bus stop where he will take his ride home, Eunhyuk crossed his arms on his chest to keep himself warm. The coldness of the night gives a shiver to him despite of him already wearing quite thick clothes. Taking a seat on the bench, in the silence of the night he then heard a car from a distance coming closer. He didn’t really cared about it until a red Ferrari 458 Spider stopped exactly in front him. Little bit curious, Eunhyuk glances at the car and its owner.
“Oh….!” His mouth slightly opened making an ‘O’-shaped once the owner of the car walked nearing him. He looked at the young man with more curious glances.
“Lee Eunhyuk-ssi…” The guy stopped in front him.
“Oh!!!” Eunhyuk now looked at the guy dumbfounded. He doesn’t know that he had a millionaire acquaintance.
“Please be my lover!”
And Eunhyuk almost fainted after listened to the sudden confession.
