Epiphany

"Why are you asking such an obvious question?"

Coffee Shop AU

——————————————————

A few cars brushed through the cold night, or rather the cold dusk. The street and sidewalks were bare as most weren't up at such early times.

"Ha..."

Keyword: Most,

A certain man in his mid-twenties was walking down a street that would usually be bustling with sound. Though it was now lacking any noise at all.

The man had an unnatural hair color and eyes for someone in South Korea, bright blonde locks with blue eyes that suited the man quite well. Other than the small eye bags under his eyes, the man was quite attractive.

Alberu Crossman.

A name known across many states in Asia.

Why you might ask?

Alberu Crossman, the man who was number one in the science realm of the world. He was the CEO of the main branch of the Company, Crossman Corps.

The wind blew steadily in the cold spring air. Alberu Crossman was currently in South Korea because of a business trip. He was needed by the person in charge of the Crossman Corps branch in Seoul and only landed a few hours ago. He had decided to get it over with so he could hurry back to his desk overflowing with paperwork. Though he went without any guards or assistants. Alberu somewhat regretted doing so as it was colder than he predicted.

Alberu frowned slightly as he walked through the brisk air. It was currently two in the morning and Alberu doubted that he could find a decent library or shop to take refugee in that was fit to his taste.

Though while Alberu walked around, he started to doubt there was a store open near him at the moment. As Alberu was going to get his phone out to call his secretary, he saw a flash of red in the corner of his eye.

Alberu turned his head to see a store turn its lights on and switch the sign from 'closed' to 'open', putting a menu out and walking back in with a yawn.

Alberu couldn't tell whether it was a boy or a girl as the person had shoulder-length red hair that was accompanied by broad shoulders.

Alberu realized he was in a daze for too long and walked toward the store. He didn't know what kind of store opened at two in the morning, but he hoped it at least was a library or something of the sort.

Alberu looked at the menu in front of the store and deadpanned a bit.

A coffee shop? Out of all things to open at the holy hour of two in the morning, a coffee shop? Well, Alberu couldn't complain as he was always in the mood for caffeine.

Curse him and his workaholic tendencies, he was used to waking up at midnight with a cup of black coffee and doing paperwork.

As he walked to the front, he saw the same person who opened the store at the counter. Alberu could tell he was more masculine now that he had seen his face but stopped, not knowing why he was pondering the man so much.

When Alberu was about to walk up to the man, he felt something caress his leg. Looking down, he saw an adorable cat. No, now that he looked around, there were at least six cats lounging around in the café.

Alberu crouched down and pet the kitten who purred in satisfaction.

Alberu got up and walked towards the male in the front. Alberu stopped himself from flinching as he walked toward the redhead.
