As he walked across campus, he cursed internally. Not a single coffee shop in sight.
A grocery store was smack dab in the middle of it, surrounded by benches and grass and trees - a hexagonal bar stood next to a playground for the daycare, and surrounding it, no joke, literal sand. Like it was a beach bar. In the middle of the city, on campus.
It was just a simple coffee shop. And it wasn't here.
"How the fuck am I going to fall in love now," Changbin muttered, walking up to the nearest tram stop. The tram would get him to one of the cosier cafes a bit further away, but...
He stopped. He pulled up his phone, and yes, one google search told him that that cafe was closed on mondays, and a second one told him that another cafe he liked to frequent, about a ten minute walk away, was closed both on mondays and tuesdays. What the fuck.
Google, you're my only hope, he thought and pulled up maps. Luckily, just one street away: a cafe that looked somewhat cozy and not aesthetically challenged. Well. It couldn't hurt to look, and he still had an hour to live through before his next lecture.

We're supposed to hand in the homework in person, right? So can't do it on my tablet?
Changbin swiped the offending notification from the group chat away (what homework were they even talking about?) and walked into the cafe with what hoped was a neutral but friendly smile underneath his face mask.
Right, maybe that's why so many cafes were closed. Worldwide pandemics seemed to do that. These last few months had seen fewer cases, so restrictions were partially lifted - but definitely not for long. Just long enough for students to come to lectures for a few weeks and practise social distancing, and for restaurants to maybe not fall that deep into debt.
Unsurprisingly, Changbin was the only one in the cafe besides a bored looking waiter. The radio played advertisements. Well, at least he could charge his phone here.
And, sitting down, he was allowed to take off the mask and take a drink from his water bottle.
