Namjoon is waiting on his morning coffee. Hoseok has informed him that since he's on a business trip, someone named Kim Seokjin would be bringing him his morning fix. Now he didn't initially understand why he wouldn't be wanted at an establishment. Surely him being seen there would be good for business. Hoseok explained that they didn't want publicity for anything other than their own effort. That made sense to him, but he still wanted to see the person whose coffee he's been addicted to for the last five years. Hoseok then told him that one of the workers was agoraphobic. Namjoon admittedly didn't really know what that meant, but when he looked it up he decided that if him going there could lead to him crowding the boy, he wouldn't risk it for now.

Namjoon got a call that a Kim Seokjin was on his way up, and was relieved that his coffee was almost there. Namjoon can't function at work without it. There was a knock on his office door and Namjoon invited the person in.

In came the most handsome man Namjoon has ever seen. His long dark hair looks stunning in contrast to his pale skin. His full lips were pursed in annoyance at Namjoon who was just sitting there staring.

Jin was used to people staring at him. He knew he was handsome. Everyone told him so all of the time. He heard it from his friends, strangers, customers at the cafe. Instead of thanking people for calling him handsome he just agreed with them. Being modest was not a Kim family trait.

It was still nice for Jin getting attention from someone as attractive as Kim Namjoon. The tall muscular man was definitely Jin's type. Jin wasn't really looking for a relationship since he was busy taking care of his cafe, and his brother. That doesn't mean he won't flirt a little with the gorgeous CEO currently eying him up.

Smirking, Jin greets the dumbstruck man, "Good morning Mr. Kim. I have your usual here."

Snapping out of his stupor Namjoon smiled "Please speak casually to me, Seokjin, I'm not your boss."

Jin immediately replied "Alright. In that case you're around Hoseok's age, right?– Namjoon nodded. "–Then I expect you to start addressing me as Jin Hyung."

Namjoon was slightly shocked by the man's sass, but immediately replied nonetheless. "Yes Jin Hyung."

Jin smiled, and handed over Namjoon's coffee. Namjoon graciously grabbed the beverage and took a long sip, closing his eyes and sighing in contentment.

Jin chuckled at the taller man's dramatics. "I take it the coffee is to your liking."

Namjoon smiled. "I'll have you know this is the best coffee in Korea, possibly the world. No matter where I travel I can't get anything this good. This coffee has ruined me for all other coffee. I've gone through eight machines and seventeen blends on my own trying to get something remotely this good, and I failed miserably."

Jin giggled. "I appreciate the praise, but how does one go through eight coffee machines in the span of five years."

Namjoon felt his ears grow hot in embarrassment, but he was too surprised by what the other had said to dwell on his humiliation. "Wait. Are you the barista who's been making my coffee all these years?"

Jin nodded, amused that it took the younger this long to realize that. "Kim Seokjin, owner of The Magic Brew, It's nice to meet you." Jin reached out his hand to shake Namjoon's.

Namjoon returned the gesture, mind reeling with the knowledge that the gorgeous man in front of him was the one making his work days bearable all these years. "Kim Namjoon, and the pleasure is all mine." Namjoon flashed a dimpled smile that made Jin's heart skip a beat.

Jin didn't falter on his plan to tease the younger however. With a wicked smirk he said. "Don't try to distract me, Namjoon-ah. Hyung asked you a question. How did you go through eight coffee machines in five years?"

Namjoon would have dwelled longer on the adorable way the other called himself Hyung, but he was once again dealing with the embarrassment of his clumsy ways.

Clearing his throat the blushing man replied. "Well I couldn't figure out how to use two of them, and..." He trailed off, but a pointed look from Jin had him finish his revelation. "Fine. I will admit that I broke six of those machines due to umm... user error."

Jin didn't know what to think of the funny man, Kim Namjoon. He was not what the older had expected from a rich and famous CEO. He had been prepared for the man's looks, having seen his picture in the paper, but nothing had prepared him for the man's dimples. Jin was a sucker for dimples. Hobi just had to have a boss who was just his type. Jin was sure Hobi was aware of the fact, as well. Jin had definitely mentioned his preferences in a man to his friends while drunk many times before. Something Jin wasn't sure of was whether to be mad Hobi was so clearly setting him up, or to be mad he hadn't done so sooner.


AN:
I spent so long looking at Korean honorifics trying to find a specific thing, only to realize a day later I was confusing them with Thai. At least I was right tho. Kuun does exist just not in Korean. 🤡
