"wooyoungie! where are you?" seonghwa asked in a hurry.

"im coming hyung I'm sorry i got caught up talking to this one guy on the street," wooyoung sheepishly said.

seonghwa let out a sigh and put two fingers around the bridge of his nose.

"it's okay, we open in 5 minutes so try and get here before or at least on time," seonghwa said and ending the call immediately before wooyoung got an answer out.

"oka-" wooyoung started before hearing the line die. he frowned and shoved his phone into his pocket, sprinting towards the cafe.

"wooyoungie is late again?" beomgyu asked while turning the coffee machine on.

"yes," seonghwa sighed.

"what am I going to do with that kid," seonghwa slapped a hand over his forehead. beomgyu only giggled at him before returning back to his work.

not too long after they heard a ring from the door.

"I MADE IT HYUNG!" wooyoung said panting, looking as if he just ran a mile.

"good job, now put this on," seonghwa said unamused and threw an apron at his face.

"hyung, I placed an order from soobinie for new flowers!" beomgyu beamed. seonghwa smiled at the boy.

"good job beomgyu!" seonghwa beamed back.

"why are you so nice to him and not me," wooyoung deadpanned.

"because you're a problem child," a deep voice said.

"yeosangie," wooyoung whined. yeosang only laughed at him before setting up the chairs around the cafe.

seonghwa scoffed and went back to setting up the cakes on the display.

it was opening time in the small cafe and almost instantly they started to get a few costumers in. many familiar faces were seen daily as the shop was located in the center of their small town.

many people stopped by before and after work for either a drink or a pastry, as they were the only cafe running in the small town. also, they were able to attract more costumers because of their handsome faces, as the older women liked to say.

seonghwa felt delighted whenever some old ladies would compliment him. he felt like a grandson.

they were well off for a bunch of young adults running the shop, even some were still students.

seonghwa decided to open his cafe shop two years ago as it has always been his dream of being a barista, and owner of a small shop. he diligently studied and opened up "cafe pot".

the shop was cozy with yellow dim lights, it had tones of beige and brown on the walls. it had lots of plants scattered around ordered from their favorite flower shop, "the dream flower shop." they were friends with the owner, soobin, so they were able to get discounts here and there which they were grateful for.

seonghwa worked alongside of wooyoung, yeosang, jongho, and beomgyu. seonghwa met soobin through beomgyu, as they were very close.

the bell rang and two familiar faces popped up.

"soobin!" beomgyu and wooyoung beamed at the same time.

"hi guys," soobin said shyly. a tall boy trailed behind him popping his head over soobins shoulder.

"hi everyone!" the boy said.

"huening!" seonghwa exclaimed. huening kai grinned a toothy smile before walking towards the side of the counter.

soobin and huening kai dropped two boxes of flowers and plants for the shop.

"you got my payment right?" beomgyu asked soobin and he nodded.

"we need to get going now but it was nice seeing you guys!" soobin said and waved. huening also let out a giant wave before doing a small jog to catch up with soobin.

the bell rang again and in came three unfamiliar faces.

the boys were all dressed down with full black attire, as well with piercings and tattoos on full display. one boy had red hair and the other had a blonde mullet and the third boy had jet black slicked back hair. they were unfamiliar to seonghwa as he did at good job remembering faces.

seonghwa quirked an eyebrow up before walking back to the counter, leaving beomgyu to set up the flowers by himself.

yeosang nudged wooyoung and flicked his head upwards to point to the males.

"you!" wooyoung exclaimed and pointed to the male in the middle.

the blondie smiled sheepishly before speaking up: "i didn't know you worked here."

"well yeah! why do you think I was in such a hurry saying this guy right here is going to kill me," wooyoung said in an obvious tone and jabbed his finger towards seonghwas way.

"my bad sweetheart. can i get a iced green tea," the blonde guy said smirking at wooyoung after seeing his flushed state. wooyoung quickly nodded and went right to work on his tea.

seonghwa sighed and said, "you're supposed to take the rest of their order," but to no avail, wooyoung didn't hear him. he was pacing around making the tea.

seonghwa smiled apologetically and waved for them to continue.

"what do you recommend?" the one with jet black hair spoke up.

"well if you have a sweet tooth the strawberry milk smoothie, or if you're looking for something bitter then the cold brew," seonghwa smiled at the man. he stood in thought before the red head butted in.

"ill take an iced americano," he said simply. seonghwa nodded at the man. he wasn't going to deny he looked very good. his piercings on his ears and the lip ring he had on the middle made him look stunning. he had subtle eyeliner and eyeshadow on that complimented his eyes perfectly. his tattoos didn't look messy on his body, they actually looked nice. seonghwa wasn't too fond of tattoos, but god, this guy looked good.

seonghwa quickly looked away once he realized he was staring, failing to catch the red head cock an eyebrow towards him.

"ill take an Oreo milkshake," the black haired guy said. the blonde shoved him on the side before complaining: "why'd you ask for recommendations then!" only earning a shrug from the other.

seonghwa, yeosang, and wooyoung quickly finished up their order and handed their drinks to them. beomgyu appeared and took a look at the boys, a certain black haired guy catching his attention. his jaw dropped at how stunning he was.

the black haired guy noticed and sent a wink his way, and beomgyu only stood more in awe.

the red haired guy pulled out a 5 dollar bill and directly handed it to seonghwa.

"here, to the cute barista," he said and quickly walked out the door to catch up with the other pair.

seonghwa stood frozen and eventually turned back to a squealing duo.

"hyung did you see that! he winked at me!" beomgyu exclaimed using large hand motions to explain.

"that's the guy who caught me in the street earlier! he bumped into me and made small talk even when I told him I was going to be late but he didn't care!" wooyoung explained in a rush.

"you don't seem too mad about it though," yeosang butted in. wooyoung gave him a glare and went back to grinding coffee beans.
