it was past evening and the sun had set. mingyu plopped on his bed, ready to tell his online friend about the interview. what he didn't know was that this online friend of his would be his colleague for the mean time, until he earned enough money to get his grandma the electric massage chair she deserved. mingyu looked at his phone to see his pal online so he decided to text him.
w0nh0e [online🟢]
9yut1ts: hey, you down to play val rn?
w0nh0e: maybe not today, kinda tired after what happened today :(
9yut1ts: it's all good man, wanna still call tho?
w0nh0e: sure, but i still won't turn on my cam lol
mingyu smiled as he wanted to call won to tell him about getting his first ever job as a part time baker-barista. he hopped off his bed and turned on his pc and went on discord to see his friend already in a voice call. he put on his headphones and joined the call where won was in.
"ayo wonnn!" mingyu initiated the conversation only to hear a hum as a reply from the other line. "so what happened today?" mingyu asked as won mentioned about the exhausting feeling after today. won began to rant about this cute guy he met at the place he worked at and how he felt embarrassed after making eye contact with the guy.
mingyu knew about won's sexuality and respected it. despite being bicurious himself, he wanted to know about his kin's love life. won kept on rambling about how he was attracted to the man and how he wasn't ready to work with him. mingyu laughed at him because he thought won being nervous over a guy was cute.
"so are you planning on asking him out anytime soon?" mingyu joked, causing a disappointing sigh from his earphones. "i don't know gyu, my introvert ass would not be able to talk to him, let alone make eye contact." mingyu could hear the disappointment from won's voice. he could tell that his friend was really into that guy and genuinely want to do something about it.
"well, i mean, if we ever meet up, you could introduce me to him and i could be your wing man." mingyu joked making the other chuckled discretely. "and you better do it well." won joked back making the corners of mingyu's lips lift up to create a small smile. "anyways won, i gotta head to bed. it's my first day of work tomorrow and i do not want to be late." mingyu yawned. they bid their goodbyes online and mingyu went to bed.
the next morning was gloomy with cloud patches covering the golden sun. mingyu woke up from the sound of rain droplets crashing on his air conditioning. he looked at his phone to see that it was half past ten in the morning, which was the perfect time for him to get ready to go to his part time job since his shift started an hour later.
he took a lukewarm shower that warmed his body from the cold air in his room. despite the irony of the summer heat, mingyu loved taking warm showers in the morning to prepare for his day. once he got out of the shower, he put on a white button top with one button unbuttoned and brown jeans to start his day. he thought that what he wore during the interview was quite too formal as he noticed the workers were dressed comfortably.
he went downstairs to see his grandmother making breakfast again. he was happy to see her cooking in the morning, which would usually get his day going. he ate with his grandma and talked about the usual things. this time it was how unfortunate the weather was on mingyu's first day at work. once they finished eating, mingyu quickly snatched all of the dirty dishes and washed them.
he said goodbye to his grandma and received a good luck for his first day. he took out a long black umbrella and headed to the cafe, with all of the commotion running through his head. he was quite nervous.
when he entered the cafe, he noticed there were no customers anywhere to be found. realising the cafe opened in less than half an hour, mr lee instructed him to wear his apron and bake a few pastries for the late morning.
mingyu noticed how the guy from the day before didn't show up yet. so he asked his new colleague about his absence. "hi, my name is mingyu, do you know where the guy in the glasses went?" he asked straightforwardly. "well well well mr mingyu, nice to meet you too. i'm eunji and no, wonwoo is not coming yet." she chuckled at his introduction.
"do you know when he will come?" he anticipated for him to come as he was curious about this man. and with that, the jet black haired male entered the cafe coincidentally, causing the blonde girl to smirk. "i think your boyfriend is here." she joked.
mingyu left the counter after baking the pastries. apparently he was pretty quick at it, like it was his inborn talent. he walked up to the shorter one and reached his hand out to greet the boy. "hey, my name is mingyu! i assume you're wonwoo?" he asked as he tilted his head
with no reply, the jet black haired male looked up at the man with confusion. mingyu didn't know what else to say until the shorter decided to break the silence.
"gyutits?"
