Y/N POV

I arrived at the cafe I work at. Jaemin was already there. "Good morning, ready to start the day?" He asks me. "I'm exhausted but I don't got much choice right." I giggle. "Why so tired?" He asks me as I got my apron on. "I studied all night, I got Monday a big test." I explain. "If you want a day off that's fine, I'll be good on my own." Jaemin says. "No I'm not leaving you alone. I'm here now anyway." I say. "Okay but if you need a break just tell me."

We prepared everything before opening up. I yawned as sleep hit me again. "You're really tired y/n, go sit down." Jaemin tells me. "No, I'm fine. A coffee will do." I say. "Then let me get you that coffee but you're sitting down." I sigh as I sit down on a stool. "I hate you." I mumbled. "No you don't, here's your coffee." I frown at the dark beverage. "What did you put in there?" I ask. "Nothing special." He tells me. "Then why is it darker than anyone's soul? Is this your usual coffee?"

Jaemin laughs. "Just try it. Might help you a little." He tells me. The first few people walked in. "I can do it alone okay." He made sure I stayed here on the side. "Y/n why are you sitting here?" Jeno asks. "Jaemin says I have to sit here." I tell him. "Why?" He asks me confused. "He's worried because I'm tired from studying." I explain. "Okay, by the way I wouldn't drink that." He points at the coffee. "Yeah, wasn't planning on that." I laughed. "But I'm going to work, whether he likes it or not." I say and get up.

The 3 of us getting to work, making drinks, selling snacks. "Y/n, you haven't drank your coffee I made you." Jaemin came from the back holding the coffee. "Because I still want to live." I commented, Jeno heard and laughed. "Okay. Want me to make a new one, with less espresso shots?" He asks. "No need I already made one." Jeno hands me a latte. "Thank you." I smile. Jaemin quietly walks away. "Where's he going?" I ask Jeno. "No idea." He goes after Jaemin, leaving me alone to help the clients.

"I think I found out why he's like this." Jeno tells me. "Why?" I ask. "Because..." Jaemin walked back. "I'll tell you later." Jeno smiles as we continued our work. A client left, their mug still on the table. "I'll clean it." I say with a yawn followed. "No, you need to rest more. I'll do it." Jaemin says. "He's jealous." Jeno whispers. "Jealous for what?" I ask confused. "That I'm so close with you. He likes you. But don't tell anyone that you got it from me." I nod in a response. "Jeno you can go on your break." Our boss told us.

"What were you gossiping about with Jeno?" Jaemin asks me. "Uh nothing. It's something between me and him." I say. "You like him right? Don't worry I can keep a secret." He smiles but I'm sure he doesn't want to smile. "I don't like him that way." I shook my head. "Yeah and I'm a famous singer. You don't have to hide it from me." He chuckles. "Jaemin I really don't like him that way." I tell him but he doesn't listen. "Another customer. Hi what can I get you?" Jaemin walks away from me. "One latte, a milk tea and 2 blueberry muffins. Y/n you get the muffins?"

I noticed there weren't any left so I went to the back to get new ones. "Are the blueberry muffins almost ready?" I asked. "Yeah they're cooling down." Jeno tells me. "Jaemin thinks I like you even though I told him I don't." I tell Jeno. "You don't like me?" He pretends to be hurt. "Not in that way no." I say. "Do you like him?" He asks. "Yes, a lot actually." I confessed. "Y/n the muffins!" Jaemin calls out. "Gotta go." I take the new muffins and put 2 in a bag.

It was the end of the day. The café is closed but we still had to clean the tables and sweep the floors. "Go to her now." I hear Jeno loudly whisper. "But are you sure she said that?" I look at the 2 and they awkwardly smile at me. I continue cleaning the tables. "Just go." Jaemin came up to me. I see Jeno going to the back. "Hey." He smiles. "Hi." I reply. "Make sure to go to bed early. You can't be tired for that big test tomorrow." He tells me.

"I actually still have to study more." I say. "Are you going to do another all nighter?" He asks. "Depends on how fast I learn." I say. "But still see that you get enough sleep. I'll call you to make sure you're going to bed on time." I smile at how caring he is. "So um, I heard from... someone that's not Jeno that you like someone that's again not Jeno." I stand up straight and look at him. "He told you?" I ask surprised. "Not Jeno keep that in mind." I playfully roll my eyes. "So did that someone tell you who I like?"

"Yes but apparently that someone also told you who I like." He bites his lip nervously. "So we both like each other." I break the silence between us. "What I wanted to ask is: would you like to go out on a date some time?" He asks me. "Of course Jaemin." I smile happier as ever. "Tomorrow, after your class?" He asks me. "So I can tell you about how I failed my test?" He shook his head. "So you can tell me you passed your test. So is it a yes?" He asks. "Of course it's a yes!"

A/N: 7dream cafe made my dream of having my own cafe come back. And maybe I shouldn't listen to people anymore that it's too hard and I can't do it, I should just go for it once I graduate. How much these men inspire me, it's unbelievable
