step one: sealing the target.

In order to start the game, Doyoung needs to get close to the target, Taeil.

The problem is, it's very hard to randomly see Taeil because they work in different fields. It was very hard to think of a way they can meet up naturally and not make it too obvious and cause Doyoung to lose the game before it starts.

Doyoung went to get his make up on his free day because he wanted to start the game. He wanted to look proper, handsome, and perfect hoping that Taeil will fall for him from the first meet. It wouldn't exactly be their first time meeting, not sure if Taeil still remembers Doyoung.

Johnny had introduced Taeil to the members before. Doyoung remembers locking his eyes with Taeil a few times when he was dating Johnny. Doyoung started questioning why he agreed on the target being Taeil. Why would Taeil open his arm for his ex-boyfriend's friend? And a known national boyfriend which can also be interpreted as a playboy?

A lot of thinking was thought inside Doyoung's head as he walked inside the café, Taeil works. He had been there before and he had done quite a lot of research about the place in order to help him to seal the target. It's prettier in real life, the air, and the atmosphere is very calming.

It was a very silent café considering the fact that most of the table was occupied, and there is few people lining up to get their order. Doyoung silently grimaces at the fact that it wasn't Taeil on the counter, should Doyoung step out and come again later?

Trying to play natural since few customers were glancing at him because well, Doyoung is a member of a very popular boy group. And undeniably attractive because he put in effort to look good, for Taeil.

While waiting in line, there were five people in front of him, Doyoung play with his phone, trying to look natural. Taeil walked out with his cute apron, plastic glove, and cute pink beret - holding a medium-sized tray with slices of cake as he put it on the display. Completely unaware of Doyoung existence.

Taeil looks so cute. He was unaware of his surrounding but still very careful of his movement. He looks smaller than what Doyoung used to remember, he takes a minute to look back at his memories of seeing Taeil in front of his eyes - he barely can remember anything about Taeil..

Doyoung ordered his drink, took a slice of cake Taeil brought out just now, and take one of the seats at the corner of the café. It was a very busy business, people come and go. Though people keep glancing at Doyoung, no one approached him because they respected his privacy.

He sat there for hours and Taeil never stepped out since he put out the cake on the display. Taeil is definitely not an easy target. Doyoung sighed as he stepped out from the café as he scrolls down on his group chat reading his friends and sending pictures of him in the café where Taeil works at.

Though it's hard, Doyoung is confident and he believes in his charm.

The next day, Doyoung come again. He completely covered his whole face; he wasn't sure if he can meet Taeil but he need coffee to function. If he can talk to Taeil, that will be great but if he doesn't see Taeil, he still gets coffee. It's a win-win situation.

Lucky for him, Taeil was on the counter - taking orders with the brightest smile. Soft voice hitting Doyoung's eardrum and Doyoung excitedly wait for his turn to take an order. Taeil was in his light beige sweater and his light brown hair nicely covers his forehead, he looks adorable.

"What can I get you?" Taeil asked, so soft, so bright, so cute.

It was embarrassing to admit but, Doyoung did stutter - he was nervous. Either because Taeil was extremely adorable or he was thinking of a way to lure Taeil inside their little game.
