Seungmin just started working at a cafe near his house, he would come pretty often to this place after school with his friends to have a great time. But since he's finished college he has to work to make money... One way or another.

  He took up two jobs not because he didn't have enough money, no, his first job made more than enough for him. He was always fond about working in a coffee shop, he enjoyed the smell of coffee, the atmosphere there, for him it was his comfort place. And this cafe brought him nostalgia as well.

  But never would have he suspected to run into one of his clients from his stripping job. The guy had tried to hit on him on his first time, but Seungmin wasn't so sure about giving a chance to those kind of men who please themselves by going to clubs and getting rubbed on a bit by some stranger's ass.

  He wasn't particularly looking for a partner at the moment but even if he was, they certainly had to be a stable, hard working and serious about their future.

  The man looked into Seungmin's eyes like he's seen a ghost, or some angel, he wasn't sure himself. They both turned their gaze from eachother, Seungmin could feel his cheeks getting hotter. He didn't want to stay there any longer and hurriedly said "Well then, enjoy your drinks." and ran off to the front counter, his heart beating out of his chest.

  This has never happened before, and it wasn't a pleasant surprise.

  He had to admit though, the guy wasn't that bad looking now that he sees him in the daylight. He's got short black hair parted in the middle, a strong jawline, a big nose, plump lips and when he smiled he displayed the cutest dimples Seungmin has ever seen. 

  It wasn't normal for him, he found himself staring more and more at the man at the table. Just after some time did he realize what he was doing. 'Snap out of it, Seungmin. He was just a customer, now at both of my jobs.' He made himself think if he would get back to work he will forget about it, he needed a distraction from the man.

  That's when he saw him leave the shop, a slightly disappointing feeling rushed over him, like he's just lost his crush out of his sight.

-

   Some time passed, it was an early Sunday morning. Seungmin was well rested since the club isn't opened on the weekend, so he went to open the cafe. As soon as he settled everything down someone came in.

  "Good morning!" he greeted with a friendly tone. As he looked up he was met by a pair of calm and lovely eyes. Of course it was Chan.

  "Good morning! How are you doing?" greeted Chan back, with a big smile. Gosh those dimples of his made Seungmin almost forget the position he was in.

  "Uh yeah, I'm good! I hope you're good as well today." he snapped out of his thoughts.

"With what can I help you today, sir?" Seungmin gave him a slight smile.

  "Come on sweetie, you know my name."

  Ah, right he told him that before, Seungmin was frozen in place. He was never good with remembering names, he relied on the person's face and features. And what was with the sudden petname?

  "I'm really sorry, sir I'm not good with remembering names" apologized Seungmin.

  "It's fine" laughed Chan. "Let me introduce myself again then, I'm Chan."

  Right, that was his name. Seungmin now remembered.

  "Nice to meet you, Chan! So is there anything
I can help you with today?" Seungmin had to keep his professional self up. He was in a working place after all.

  Chan took a look at the menu boards behind Seungmin, thinking a little bit.

  "Then I'll have an iced americano, please."

  "If that's all then I'll bring it right there in no time."

   "Thanks!" Chan payed and walked to a free table to sit and wait.

  "An iced americano for Chan!" called Seungmin to Chan.

  Chan thanked him again and handed him a small piece of paper. He had a shy but mischievous look on his face as he handed the paper to Seungmin.

  "If you're free some time I'd really love to take you out." he winked at him. It felt almost illegal that Seungmin wanted to accept his proposal.

   But instead sighed and answered
  "I told you before, I don't date customers."

  "I know, I know, but it doesn't have to be a date date, I'd just like to get to know a bit better maybe?"
  "It's still-" he wanted to respond but he got cut off by Chan.

   "Just think about it and if you're down give me a call or a text." he winked at Seungmin again and walked off, leaving Seungmin dumbfounded.
