"Hyun-Ki, the usual?" he implied, the guy behind the counter asked.

For a few weeks, he'd ordered the same thing every day, but this time he wanted something different. "No, actually, do you have any wrapped Samancos?" he inquired, smiling.

"We quickly ran out of them today; they're a big hit." He apologizes and adds, "I'm sorry."

"Could you just pick for me then? I wanna try something new and you know my taste." Hyun-Ki asked him.

When the guy turned around and started making something, Hyun-Ki was on his phone, browsing instagram.

"Ki! I got your ice cream." he said, when he handed Hyun-Ki the ice cream, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Vanilla Cheesecake ice cream? Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts!" he exclaimed.

"Really? Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts, which is why I chose it. Taste that and tell me what you think?" he exclaimed, anticipating his response

When Hyun-Ki took a bite and smiled, "It's nice and sweet, I like it alot Kun."

"Yes! I knew it! Next time you come in, why don't you try that again. But I'll make it even better, yeah?" he told Hyun-Ki with a bright smile on his face.

"Oh yeah, how so?" he asked with a sly look on his face.

"Get out of here! It's a surprise." he jokingly shouted.

"Alright! Alright! See you later Kun!" Hyun-Ki shouted before leaving the shop.

Three Days Later


When Hyun-Ki walked into the ice cream shop Kun smiled and got excited, "Good afternoon Hyun-Ki, can I get you what I was talking about last time?" he asked.

"Yes you can, can you also add a junior red bean there?"Hyun-Ki said to Kun, but today he was speaking Mandarin.

"What the heck, where did you learn that from?" Kun replied back in Mandarin.

"I've been secretly learning so I could learn your birth language, I thought it would be fun." Hyun-Ki said laughing, switching back to Korean.

"You sound pretty good! If you wanna practice sometime. You should come by and meet some of my friends, yeah?" Kun offered, while making the red bean ice cream.

"Do they speak mandarin, as a first language?" Hyun-Ki curiously asked.

"Some of them, I am the only born Mandarin speaker with no dialect, out of the seven of us." Kun explained, before handing him his red bean ice cream.

"What are their birth languages?" he asked while snacking on the ice cream.

"Thai, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Taiwaneese!" Kun continued explaining, as he started making the cheesecake ice cream.

"I'd love to come over and meet your friends, when can I?" Hyun-Ki asked.

Kun looked up at him, "I'm actually about to finish my shift in ten minutes, my place is not too far from here. Would you wanna go right now?" he asked.

"Yeah I don't see why not, I can wait for you until your shift is done." he remarked.

Hyun-Ki was actually pretty nervous, he always thought Kunw was cute but obviously didn't know his sexuality nor his. So he didn't want to explain anything or mention it, but over the past few months he always looked forward to seeing Kun during the week. A few minutes later he handed Hyun-Ki his ice cream, when he looked down he saw a small piece of cheesecake drizzled with red bean on top of three balls of cheese cake ice cream. Suddenly a group of teenagers walked in causing a bunch of noise, when they walked up to the ice cream bar, they were yelling and playing around loudly.
