Chanyeol came out of the flower shop smiling when he bought flowers for Baekhyun. "I'm sure he'll be happy with it," Chanyeol smiled again and smelled the flower he purchased. And when he raised his head, he saw Baekhyun. He was about to call it, but he frowned when he had a woman with him. The girl was still clinging on Baekhyun's arm that everyone must thought was his girlfriend.
He took his phone out and dialed Baekhyun's number. It was still ringing. As Chanyeol looked from far away and stared at Baekhyun, he saw Baekhyun took his phone. He was stunned when Baekhyun declined the call.
Chanyeol was even surprised when the girl laughs with Baekhyun. Chanyeol tightened his grip on the bouquet. He turned around and threw the flower in the trash as he walk away.

Chanyeol was upset. He doesn't ask Baekhyun because he trusts him. Chanyeol decides to go to Junmyeon. He entered the coffee shop, and Junmyeon greeted him instantly.
"Oh, Chanyeol! Thank god you are here! Could you help me? My employee was running late." Junmyeon said frustratedly. "Okay, I'll just change," Chanyeol said as he entered the staff room and changed into the uniform.

When Chanyeol got out of the staff room, customers instantly looked at him. Junmyeon grinned. "It's different when it's a Park Chanyeol," Junmyeon said, smiling. The number of customers increased when Chanyeol was at the counter. Mostly women and some men lined up.
"You're so handsome! Are you a regular here?" A girl asked. Chanyeol smiles softly. He should at least do his best for Junmyeon. "No, but please come again." Chanyeol swipes the card, and the girl squeals as she left the counter. "I'm having a good time with your face," Junmyeon said. Chanyeol frowns. "Stop saying bullshit, Hyung." Chanyeol instantly smiles when he faced a customer.
"But, something's off. You usually stay at Baekhyun's condo and wait for him. But why are you here?" Junmyeon whispered. Chanyeol gave him a sharp look. "Hyung, can't you see I'm working?" Junmyeon laughs. "Alright, alright! This guy is really...Oh! Kyungsoo!" Chanyeol turns his attention to the door and saw a little guy wearing all black. He was also wearing a black cap. What is this? Is he some criminal? Chanyeol thought.
"Who's that?" Chanyeol asked. Junmyeon pulls Kyungsoo to the staff room. Chanyeol followed them. "Chanyeol, this is Kyungsoo. Kyungsoo, this is Chanyeol." Junmyeon said happily. Chanyeol bowed politely, and Kyungsoo just looked at him. What kind of attitude is this!? Chanyeol thought.
"He's my employee, and he is the one who's making every sweet thing that you can eat here. He's excellent at making cakes and cookies. Chanyeol hummed. He offered his hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Park Chanyeol." Kyungsoo timidly shook his hands. "Kyungsoo. Boss, can I go to work now?" Kyungsoo said expressionlessly. Junmyeon gasp. "O-Of course! Go ahead." Junmyeon laughs nervously. "Oh, please while I am making cakes please do not try to come inside." Junmyeon nodded. "Yeah, sure, go ahead~."
When Kyungsoo left, Chanyeol raised an eyebrow. "Why you look like his employee? That attitude, how can you hire something like him?" Chanyeol asked. Junmyeon pouted. "Yah! Kyungsoo is actually kind. He's just like that, and of course, I will hire him. He's outstanding doing his job especially making sweets." Junmyeon patted Chanyeol's shoulders. "Now, let's go. Customers are waiting!"
Chanyeol thought he could leave when Kyungsoo arrived, but no, Junmyeon made him stay because of uncountable customers.
Junmyeon is almost dizzy with so many customers. He keeps moving to serve orders while Chanyeol was chilling while taking customer's demands. Within minutes, the customer was somewhat reduced. Junmyeon approached Chanyeol. "You clean that table first, and then tell Kyungsoo to take out the freshly cooked cupcakes." Chanyeol groaned. "I will surely take my pay for today. Oh, didn't the Kyungsoo guy said do not try to come inside?" Junmyeon laughs. "I'm the boss here! One of our regular is here to have the cupcake. He will understand it." Chanyeol shrugs and followed Junmyeon.
Chanyeol slowly entered the kitchen. He saw Kyungsoo focusing too much on putting Icing on the cupcakes. You can see that this is incredibly serious on his job.
"Kyungsoo-"
"I said do not try to come here! Now, look at the layer! You ruined it." Kyungsoo irritating said. Chanyeol frowned and walked towards Kyungsoo, and came closer to stare at the cupcake. "What is this? It's not ruined at all." Chanyeol said. Kyungsoo rolled his eyes. "Are you blind or something! See that!" Kyungsoo said as he pointed at the little wavy line of the icing. Chanyeol laughs. Kyungsoo was surprised when Chanyeol cracks up.
"Is there something funny?! You're in the kitchen. This is not a comedy bar or a playground for someone like you!" Kyungsoo said. Chanyeol laughs softly as he looks at Kyungsoo. "This is not ruined. It's looking good. Now, I complimented it. Can I have this instead?" Chanyeol said as he picked the cupcake, and Kyungsoo's eyes widen. He was about to stop Chanyeol, but he was too late.
"OoOoOooOoOhhhhhh! What the hell is this?! This is so good! Did you actually made this?! How can you make something delicious with your small hands?" Kyungsoo frowned and was about to hit Chanyeol when he remembers that this is their first meet. "I'll pretend that I didn't hear anything," Kyungsoo said, glaring at him.
Chanyeol grins. "No, it was perfect. It's so sweet. I feel like this cupcake comforts me." Chanyeol said, and he was surprised when Kyungsoo was still looking at him. "Do you find me weird, don't you? Well, as you can see. I'm having a bad day and your cupcake just blown my stress away. This can be my comfort food tho." Chanyeol said, chuckling. Kyungsoo averted his gaze. He can feel the heat running to his cheeks.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kyungsoo mumbles. Chanyeol chuckles. "Just saying, this cupcake that you made is amazing. I love it. Thank you."
