I want Ten's appearance in any NCT units honestly :( I miss him dancing with the members.

Every year, your family would have a tradition where they would go out the restaurants to celebrate a certain family member's life. For example, your grandfather passed away a year ago on 26 February and now if it's 26 February, you and your family would go out to eat to celebrate his life after visiting his grave. Today was 26 February, you stood beside your parents as you stared down at your grandfather's grave. "I miss him" your brother whispers, biting onto his bottom lips. "I do too, Jaehyun" you whispers back, leaning your head against Jaehyun's shoulder. As your grandmother was saying the prayer out loud with your parents, you and brother continued stare down at your grandfather's grave. "I can't believe he's actually gone" you sighed, closing your eyes. "Me either" Jaehyun murmurs, reading the words on the tombstone. The day that your grandfather passed away, you couldn't stop crying. The only time you stopped crying was either you passed out from exhaustion or the fact that you have no tears left to come out. You remember that day as if it was yesterday, even if it only has been a year. You've always considered your grandfather as your best friend because he's always there for you and also the reason you love music so much.

When you are a kid, he would teach you certain instruments, thus began your love to music. You become a music prodigy because of him, now that he's gone, you don't know if you want to continue to be a music prodigy. Music in general just remind you of your grandfather, making it almost too painful for you to love music. "(Y/n)!" Jaehyun says, nudging you gently, snapping you from your deep thoughts. "Hmmm?" You blinked at Jaehyun, he look at you sadly. "We're leaving" Jaehyun whispers, you let out a sigh quietly and nod your head. "Okay" you said softly, your grandmother, parents and brother walk to the car first. You looked down to the tombstone for a moment and closed your eyes. "I miss you so much, grandpa" you choked out, you slowly turned around and walked back to the car behind Jaehyun. You say in the backseat with Jaehyun while your parents sat in the front seat. "Hey, are you okay?" Jaehyun murmurs, you nodded your head slowly. "Yea, I'll be fine" you whispered, looking out of the window and at the graveyard. As the car started up and pulled out of the driveway of the cemetery. You looked away from the window and closed you eyes. "Where do you want to eat?" You dad asks, cutting the tension in the car. "We can just go to the Thai Restaurant that recently opened up" you mom replies, your dad looked at you and Jaehyun through the rear of the his window. "What do you kids think?" Your dad asks, your brother shrugs his shoulders. "I'm okay with that! I've been craving Thai Food since last two weeks" Jaehyun murmurs, wincing when his stomach growls loudly. "What about you (y/n)? Do you want to go the new Thai Restaurant down town?" Your dad asks, you rubbed your eyes and nodded your head. "Yea, sure I don't mind going there" you reply, your dad nods his head and turn his head back to the road.

"Can't you believe that this restaurant already a hit and it has just opened a few days ago" Ten's mother asks him, smiling at him widely. "I'm shocked at the amount of people that eats here! I was expecting less people, but this has gotten to the point where people would make reservations" Ten sighs, shaking his head playfully. "Well, be glad that we have a lot of people working here! Or else you'd be stuck serving the whole restaurant by yourself while your father and I cooked and handle the money" Ten's mother commented, he patted Ten's shoulder. "I'm just glad that today has less customers than the other days. It's always a rush hour here" Ten sighs softly, looking around the restaurant. "Cittaphon, this is early morning! Wait until the afternoon, Cittaphon. The restaurant will filled with lots of customers" she chuckles, handing her son a notepad and a pen. "Sounds fun! At least I'm getting paid, I do need money for few things" Ten says, fixing his maroon button up shirt. "For waste your money on that albums and posters this time, Cittaphon" His mother said in a warning tone, making Ten pout. "But mother! Those are my investment on my wives and hyungs!" Ten gaps, his mother scoff and smacks his arm.

You and your family entered the Thai Restaurant, the amazing aroma enters your nose, making yours and Jaehyun's stomach growl. Well, Jaehyun's stomach made a much louder sound than yours. "Yikes, sounds like you keeping a dragon in your stomach" you commented, poking your brother's stomach. "You sound like you keeping a hoard of whales in your stomach" Jaehyun replies, poking your stomach in response. You were about to say something to Jaehyun, you only got cut off by the sight of the waiter. "Welcome to LeeChaiyapornkul restaurant! How many people will there be?" The cute guy asks, your stared at him cutely. "There will be four of us" your dad replies. "Wait, grandma isn't going to eat with us?" Jaehyun asks, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion. "Your grandmother wants to rest, she's not going to join us this year" your mom replies, Jaehyun nods his head slowly. Then, There's you staring at the cute boy. The way the button up shirt hugged his board frame perfectly, his styled hair, his sharp jawline, his dashing feature, his tall height. Damn, he's perfect. You looked at his name tag and almost choked on your own saliva. "Cittaphon LeeChaiyapornkul". That was his name; something that you can't even pronounce at all! "Uhh.. Waiter? Since I can't pronounce your name, sorry by the way, is there anything than I can all you by?" You ask, the cute waiter stared at you and smile. The sight of his smile makes your cheeks turn to dusting pink. "You can call me Ten" he smiles at you.

"Now come with me and I'll show you your table" Ten says, showing the way to the table. You, Jaehyun and your parents followed Ten as he guided the four of you to the table. "Here are the menus, I will be out in a few minutes to take your drinks orders" Ten smiles, he quickly bows before  walking off. You opened the menu and looked through the list of food and drinks. "Ooh looks so good!" You sighed, you subconsciously looked at Ten, then back to menu, then back to Ten. Luckily his back was facing you. "Not as good as Ten though" Jaehyun commented, making you blush and smack his arm. "Jaehyun, shut up" you whispered, glaring at Jaehyun as your face continued getting redder and redder. While you and him bickering, Ten kept looking at your table. "Yah! You're staring" Ten's father commented, making Ten jumps. "I-I was not staring" Ten stutters slightly, earning a look from his father. "If you continue to stare, you're going to scare them away" Ten's father says, Ten pouts as crosses his arm over his chest. "(Y/n), that waiter keeps looking at you" you mom whispers at you, a teasing smile appears on her face. "Huh?" You squeaked, the blush on your face darkens. "The waiter, Ten, he keeps looking at you!" Your mother grins, you had to bite down your bottom lip to refrain yourself from smiling too widely. "I thought this is the day that where we've supposed to celebrate grandpa's life instead of the fact that (y/n) has finally attached by a boy" Jaehyun commented, your jaws dropped as you looked at Jaehyun. "You're so mean!" You frowned, crossing your arms over your chest. Ten walks over your table, his heart racing against his chest. "What would you like to drink?" Ten asks, holding up the notepad and pen. "Water" Everyone at the table says simultaneously then there's you. "You." You choked out, everyone froze and looked at you with wide eyes while Jaehyun was laughing his ass off. "Uhhh... Can you repeat that?" Ten asks, his cheeks tinting pink.

"Water!" You squeaked out, Ten smiles and nodded his head. "I'll have your drinks out in few minutes" Ten says, walking off, the tip of his ears pink. An hour later, after lunch, you left to go to the restroom. Probably to wash your shame away. On your way there, you were stopped by Ten himself. "So, that was interesting" he commented, you sighed and ran your hands through your hair. "Sorry about that" you said, your face flushing pink. "You know, I never thought that I would be in this situation with a customer" Ten smiles at you. "Although, you're a customer, I find you pretty cute" He says shyly, Ten's face began to turn red as well as yours. "But don't tell my parents that I said that, they would find a thousand ways to embarrass me in front of you and everyone else". "Don't worry same as me" you chuckled. "So, is this going to be the part that we kinda of sorta trade off numbers? Or snapchat? I don't know mv, how people actually do" Ten stutters, you laughed lightly. "You should look down at the check" you winked at him playfully before walking to the bathroom. Ten looks down the check and smile faintly. There was your number and small note, 'hey Cittaphon LeeChaiyapornkul^^ I think you're really cute ;)' - Jung (y/n). He couldn't help but notice that oh has crossed out some misspelling on his name, making him chuckle. "I think you're cute too (y/n)" Ten says softly, slipping the check into his pocket.
