"You've got to be kidding me", Junhyung muttered under his breath as he was shown into the office of the guy that just rammed into him and left without a sincere apology. Mr. Kim urged him in and introduced him to the man standing behind the desk. The man seems to be in a chaos, looking for something amidst the pile of files on his desk and once again, he didn't bother to look up as Mr. Kim could be heard saying, "Mr. Jang, this is your new assistant. He was hired under recommendation."
Hyunseung never once looked up and just uttered an okay as he continue rummaging through his desk. "If there is nothing else, I'll be on my way, Mr. Jang". "Okay".
Junhyung squinted at this seemingly very powerful and gorgeous looking man -that from the instant that they met- appears to be very busy and having his mind occupied somewhere else. Junhyung was left standing in the office, unsure of what to do. He continued looking at the man and for the second time, he seems to be invisible to this man.
Junhyung cleared his throat hoping to get the man to look up but Hyunseung was still busy looking through some files. "Ermmm...Mr. Jang? I'm Junhyung and...how may I be of assistance to you?"
"Ah, found it!" Finally, Hyunseung looked up and Junhyung felt his breath hitch as he finally caught sight of how gorgeous this man really looks. "I'm in a rush, and I need to submit this file here," waving the file that he found for Junhyung to see. "As you can see, this pile here is a mess," hands indicating his desk, "So for today, you're going to arrange them back to their original state and then you can call it a day. I hope to see this stack of files neatly arranged on my desk when I come in tomorrow morning."
Before Junhyung could even say another word, Hyunseung was out the door and into the elevator that arrived. Junhyung looked at the pile of mess and wondered where and how he should start.
~~
By the time he was done, he was already running late for his other job. This is definitely not my day. He rushed out of the office building, fortunately catching an empty cab and told the driver to drop him off at Matilda's. As soon as he arrived, he ran through the backdoor hoping to not get caught but as he had thought, today was not his day, the manager was waiting for him.
"You're late! One more time and you're fired!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this will never happen again."
"Get to work or you're fired this instant."
Junhyung made a dash for the employees' changing room and quickly changed into his unform, perfected his black vest, raised the collar of his white shirt to stand tall, pin on his nametag and left the changing room to join the mass of waiters that were in line to get the orders out.
"Yah, why are you late again?" his best friend, Dongwoon, asked as he was exiting the kitchen.
"Junhyung, table 26." Junhyung took his tray and proceeded out of the kitchen.
~~
The restaurant that his mom had picked for this date was grand to say the least and it was packed and chatter between the patrons that were already seated everywhere around them could be heard but even that could not drown out the voice of his date.
Mom, you could have set me up with any girl on this planet, you had to set me up with this chatterbox.
"You know my girls all told me that this suited me real nice, what do you think Hyunseung?" "Yeah, it suits you real nice." Hyunseung answered, completely ignoring her small talk yet she doesn't get the hint to shut it. He silently promises himself that he's going to tell his mom that he's gay.
"Hyunseung, did you hear what I just said?" Feeling the girl's hand on his arm, his snatched his arm away as though her hand was fire. "I'm sorry, what?" "It's nothing." The hurt in her eyes were undeniable but it did its job and she was quiet.
You've got to be kidding me. Now, he's here. Just my luck. Junhyung stopped Dongwoon on his way back to the kitchen and whispered at him, "Hey, can you get this over to 26?"
"No way, man. You know the rules, we can't swap trays out here. Send it over yourself. What's the problem?" Dongwoon walked away before Junhyung could even answer him.
"Miss, your Caesar's Salad and Sir, your steak. Enjoy your meal."
Hyunseung looked up to say his thanks but the words stopped at the tip of his tongue as he realised that the waiter was in fact his assistant. "Er..." "Yes, Sir? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Hyunseung wanted to ask him what he was doing here but this probably wasn't the place or time so he stopped himself and just shook his head at Junhyung's question. He watched as Junhyung walked behind the double doors leading to the kitchen.
The entire night for Hyunseung was spent wondering about Junhyung. How did his assistant came into his mind so much that night, he couldn't answer that yet. But, deep down inside his heart, he's slightly happy that the guy he rammed into turned out to be his assistant. And a rather hot one at that.
~~
"Yo, wait up, what's with you earlier? You want to get fired or something?"
"Table 26 was my boss. I went for an interview earlier today, only to find out that the job was already handed to me and the guy, well, he lacked some manners and..."
"He lacked manners? You can't be serious. The guy is probably the nicest guy around." Dongwoon couldn't stop it before he blurted those words out.
"What? What did you just say? How do you know him?" Junhyung was suddenly persistent in knowing more.
"He's a regular here and I've served him more than once."
Junhyung looked at Dongwoon through squinted eyes, "Are you sure he's not one of friends and this whole thing is some weird plan of yours? Why you actually work as a waiter is beyond me. I mean you can practically fire that manager who keeps threatening to fire me, and get a new one."
Dongwoon laughed out loud, "Why do you think he never actually fires you? I've been telling him that if he fires you, I'll fire him. I like working there, moreover it's not like I can enjoy working anywhere else in my organisation without being bowed to and feeling the whole awkward 'I'm boss-you're employee' atmosphere. I hate that feeling, the restaurant is the only place where no one knows who I am."
"Well, your friends might just walk in and break your cover, what are you going to do then?"
"If I act as though I don't know them, who's going to believe that the waiter is actually the big boss. Come on, let's go home. You've got a long day tomorrow."
~~
Just as Hyunseung was about to drift off to sleep, his phone vibrated. He picked it up, saw the alert that he has one message from Kikwang.
So, how's the new assistant?

A/N: Sorry for the rather late update. Comments are always much loved. And and regarding what I posted that this will NOT be a long chaptered-fic, *as in having 20 chapters* I may have to take that back. I'm about to develop everyone's story into this one fic. However, this still depends on whether I can get more ideas out. LOL... Still it probably will not go to 20 chapters, hahah, my exaggeration. LOL.
