" honestly", Hao slams the cafe door, noticing that now it was empty and a particular male was too busy to even look at him. 

" what's so good about him?",

poor university graduate was trying to get his coffee at his boyfriend's cafe but was chased out because he didn't follow basic etiquette... which was greeting the owner.

" who hyung? many people are better than you",

the Canadian was too busy to listen to his friend's rant and didn't even bother to hear the answer to his question,

" yaah are you even liste-"

*thud* 

a loud noise echoed in the room resulting Matthew to look up at the door,

" Now that you're here, next time don't chase your boyfriend out, or else he'll chase your customers out and you'd go broke, aish I can't believe you studied business for this",

Matthew calmly told the owner and gathered his things, he slowly tucked every one of his things and placed it neatly in a bag with a white flower on its back portion,

" you still keep it?",

Matthew gave out a sad smile and whispered," How can I not? it looks like me"


after a certain Canadian leaves their cafe the sweet couple started to bicker by themselves,

"I thought you were late for your internship"

"I thought you were going to drop me"

"I thought your boss was strict"

"I thought I said that my boss wants me gone"

" seriously Hao....hyung", hanbin gave a sheepish smile and asked again,

"why are you wasting your degree? it's been half a year, just tell your parents that your working environment is not good and you want to pursue your career based on your other degree"

Hao sighed loudly and took a seat,

"I really want to, but you know them right?"

 as they were talking, a group of friends entered their cafe and slowly made their presence noticeable,

"Did we come at the wrong time? I brought few friends", Taerae chirped

" no, please take your table oh and Matthew was here a moment ago... don't leave him alone again" Zhanghao informed him and went to the reception to tend to other customers,

" wait you know Matthew? the senior from economics class?",

"of course, I know him, Ricky, we've been friends for years"

" but we've never really seen him with you in all these years, all we see is you always lurking around us and especially a certain male", Ricky glances at Junhyeon paying for their coffee, and looks back to taerae for the answer.

" he changed, I don't know for good or for worse but he changed a lot, 

if only he had never met him"
