Taehyun entered his house, changed into his work uniform and went to 'Magic Cafe' as usual, as soon as he arrived, he wore his brown apron and started with the customers' orders
It was all fine until his boss showed up, he lifted his index finger signalling Taehyun to come over, and the younger did as told
"May I ask for a favour?" Taehyun titled his head after hearing the man's question but nodded his head anyways,
"Tomorrow is the weekend, and something came up to one of my employees, can I ask you to replace him?"
Taehyun sighed and then nodded his head in acceptance, making the man in front of him more grateful than ever, he had nothing to do anyways as he was willing for a salary increase,

Taehyun was getting ready for bed when he heard a beep coming from his phone

Taehyun stared at his phone screen longingly, sighing, 'What's it'...

Gyu-hyung👧🏻
K then, take care
Taehyun turned off the device on his hand as he slipped under his warm blanket, closing his eyelids in an attempt to fall asleep

Taehyun was busy serving the customers as it was his alternative day at work, the door was pushed open,
Taehyun who had his head lowered focusing on the drink he was making felt a presence at the opposite side of the counter
"What would you like to get?" Asked in a calm voice, eyes still in their previous position
"Oh, Taehyun" Taehyun lifted his gaze to the blue-haired male who had a slightly surprised expression on,
Beomgyu who was behind Yeonjun stared at the red-haired male longingly with slightly narrowed eyes, arched brow and a tense jaw,
You could tell he was angry, frustrated and a bit hurt which Taehyun didn't make out the reason for, there stood the males staring at each other, one with a frustrated face and the other with a confused one,
Beomgyu didn't utter a word, instead turned his back leaving the cafe not sparing another glance at the other two males whose faces showed confusion,
Yeonjun waved at Taehyun quickly following his friend, as the red-haired just stood there staring at the blank, he shrugged and took his phone out of his pocket in an attempt to text Beomgyu asking for an explanation,
As he pressed their chat, he observed his last message to the older,
K.tyun🧑🏻🦰
Helping a friend
His eyebrows were drawn together at the text, ' Did I seriously send him this?' was running through his mind at the moment, what kind of poor excuse is this? especially after opening up to the older about him not having friends, Beomgyu must have thought he was making up excuses, which was right.
_
The class was dismissed by now, Taehyun watched as the older packed his things, not moving his eyes from the backpack in his hands,
Taehyun slung his bag on his shoulder as he stood up from his seat, walking to his previous seatmate's new table, Beomgyu changed his seat this morning and didn't even look at the younger in the eyes since that day at the cafe shop
"Hyung" he muttered softly leaning into the opposite table from the other's,
Beomgyu stopped his movements as the younger's serene voice echoed in the now-empty room,
"Are we having lunch at the rooftop today?"
Taehyun asked, eyes fixed on the black blonde-highlighted haired male in front of him, Beomgyu didn't respond to the younger's question but hung his head low biting his lips,
"Taehyun" he suddenly blurted, eyes now on the red-haired, who immediately adjusted his position humming excitedly
"Am I making you uncomfortable?" Taehyun's big doe-eyes widened at the older's question, he then shook his head as quickly as possible, denying what he just heard.
"You-...."
"Why did you take it this way?" Taehyun asked with furrowed eyebrows, cutting the older off,
"I just hesitated whether to tell you about my part-time job or not" Beomgyu barely heard the younger's words,
Beomgyu kept staring at the latter, he knew that he was anxious and insecure about himself, Beomgyu could ever sense the hesitation in Taehyun's last line, he understands him, but he needs to be understood, he does value his friend, he is even willing to make him feel comfortable around him, but guess the younger still needs time to totally accept and fully trust Beomgyu,
The older stood up, slanging his backpack on his shoulder as he took a step forward,
"Where to?" He heard the velvety voice calling from behind, Beomgyu stopped as he turned his body to the source of the sound,
A tiny framed red-haired with raised eyebrows, which caused horizontal wrinkles to appear on his forehead and a mouth hang open loosely,
Beomgyu's chapped lips formed a quiet and placid smile,
"To grab lunch...only the two of us"
