Minho wait for all of the coffee stop employees to leave before he close it. 


"Gotta go now, bye hyung! take care when you go home" It's Seungmin, the last employee to leave. 

"Yeah you too" Minho nood at the younger before fixing his things so he can also leave and go home.


It's exact 11pm when Minho left the coffee shop, the park in front of the coffee shop is now empty. Some of the shop besides the coffee shop are also already closed. The night is quite.

The coffee shop is just 5 minutes away from his apartment but Minho feels like he doesn't have energy left to walk but he need to go home because Honey is waiting for him. He actually left Honey on their landlady since the landlady is quite close to him and she loves cat and also so have three cats on her house which is just besides the apartment.


Minho took Honey and thank the landlady for taking care of his cat before he went upstairs where his apartment is.

He feed Honey first before taking a shower. 

After taking a shower he sat on the corner oh his bed while drying his hair with the towel. The small notebook grab his attention so he stop drying his hair and put the towel back in the bathroom and go back to his bed. He picked the small notebook and take the pen stuck in the middle of the pages.

Minho crossed the number one hundred thirty-eight written on the paper.

"4 more.." he whispered on himself and put the notebook down where it is placed earlier.


For the whole day Minho shoot a three couples. Two outside, in the park and one inside the coffee shop. 

Most of the time Minho found his target inside the coffee shop or in the park in front of the shop. They don't need to look for their target couples as it's sometimes appear in front of them. They know if the two are soulmate when the aura around them glow when they're in a one place but they need to lock their eyes with each other as a confirmation that they're really for each other because sometimes in a one place there's more than two people who has a glowing aura.


This month he shoot four soulmates which is already the largest number he shoot in a month. He's been a cupid for more than year and it's been more than year since he feels this strange feeling for Jisung. He is now so close to his goals and he can't wait to be with the boy. 

For more than a year having that feeling for Jisung, Minho never make another move towards the boy after two failed confession, he is already contented with their interactions in the counter.

The first failed confession was during the valentines day, he gave him a cake and there's a words "can I be your valentine?" written on the top of the cake. He carefully instructed the waiter to gave it to the boy with the blonde hair sitting on the table on the corner. Minho is so sure the waiter wouldn't failed since Jisung is alone during that time and he's the only blonde boy on the corner. Minho prepared one customer order first before look at the table where their waiter bring the cake and to Minho's surprised Jisung is nowhere to be found instead it's Hyunjin with a blonde hair who were sitting there with a confused eyes looking at the cake then to the waiter who's walking back to the counter and to Minho who met Hyunjin's confused eyes. Minho panicked because the boy might think wrong about it so Minho ran towards Hyunjin's table and said 

"Hello good afternoon, since it's valentines we have a special promo." Minho didn't know what he's talking about but he continued. "So yes our coffee shop is giving a special promo to uh..." Minho looked at his right side and saw Jisung confused face looking at them and to the cake then sat in front of Hyunjin. "..ahh blonde couple. yes we are giving a valentine promo to a blonde couple so yeah hope you enjoy your cake!" After saying those words Minho ran back to the counter and never looked back at two blondes reaction. 


The second failed confession was when he prepared Jisung's drinks. Jisung picked it up in the counter since it's a to go order.  Before he handed the drinks to Jisung he took that opportunity to tell him what he feels.

"Ijustwanttotellyouthatyoucaughtmyattentionyou'resoaddorableandilikeyou" Minho said without breathing and just looking down at the coffee on his hand.

"Uh..what? I quite didn't understand you" Minho eyes widened when he saw Hyunjin in front of the counter. His soul almost leave him but he is thankful the boy didn't understand what he said. 

"U-uh nothing I'm just memorising some lines" Minho excused then gave the drinks to Hyunjin. While Hyunjn just looked at him confused.

Minho roamed his eyes to find Jisung and he saw him outside waiting for Hyunjin.


After the failed confession he never tried again. It's not that he's a big coward but there's actually another reason. He knows, he can see and feel it, Jisung like Hyunjin. He is one of the reason why also Minho couldn't make a move because Jisung is always with Hyunjin everytime he went to the coffee shop.



Minho is about to lay on his bed when another thing caught his attention. The book he bought to annoyed Hyunjin. Yes, he finally has a reason why he bought the book, he convinced himself it is the reason.

He remembered the younger face earlier at the coffee shop. He still seems so mad at him. 

Without realiazing Minho didn't know he's smiling while remembering Hyunjin's annoyed face earlier.
