If you'd told Minho that he would meet the love of his life, during a thunderstorm a couple of days after he had just opened up his cat cafe, he wouldn't believe you. In fact, even five years on he still wouldn't be able to hide his surprise every time he recalls the story.

Opening a Cat Cafe has been one of Minho's biggest dreams since he gave up dancing as a profession, yes he was young and to give up dancing as his job was horrible. Still, after a nasty injury to his hamstrings and the doctor's advice to no longer continuing his dancing dreams, Minho had packed up his bags and immediately decided to open the cafe he had always wanted when he was younger.

A Cat Cafe.

If you had asked Minho what he loved most in the world he would respond with Cats - and then Jisung quickly replaced that spot a few years later- so when Minho opened his cat cafe at the age of 25 his new adventure began.

It was late in the evening, nearing nine at night and Minho was excited to be shutting the shop for the day finally. All the cats apart from cute little Dori who Minho owned and brought to and from the cafe on the days he worked there. Which was most days, considering he was the owner. 
It had been a few days since the opening of his cafe, and things were steady, there were a decent amount of people who came and went and all praised the boy for his hard work in re-constructing the old building which had been left abandoned a few years prior. Many customers had popped in for a takeaway excited to finally have a cafe nearby on their route to work in the mornings.

Since starting, Minho had hired three full-timers and a couple of part-time workers to help run the shop during opening hours, however, once it hit five he would let them go and just run the shop single-handedly for the remaining hours due to the slow foot traffic that would past at night time. This is why Minho was even more surprised to hear the bell jingle signalling his first customer in three hours.

"Oh, Hi sorry but-" Minho had begun to speak to announce the shop was actually closing but he immediately paused and took one look at the poor boy standing in the doorway. He was drenched from head to foot, clutching onto what seemed to be a bag under his waterproof coat.

"A-are you still open?" The boy asked anxiously, eyes darting around noticing the void of people and the lights all dimmed.

"Yes, for about 30 more minutes" Minho didn't have the heart to turn away the poor boy who sighed in relief after hearing that they were still open. Minho watched curiously as the boy shuffled along to a table by the window and unzipped his coat before shedding it onto the back of his chair.
Minho released a loud gasp when he noticed that the rain had soaked right through, making the boy's jumper seep with water.

"Do you want a towel?" Minho asked as he began to walk over to the boy, Dori following alongside him interested in the stranger from the rain.

"Oh, you have some here?" the soaked boy turned around from where he was pulling out a laptop from his bag which seemed to have luckily survived the downpour.

"Umm, yeah, they are mainly used for the cats, but I think you might need it more right now" Minho let out a soft chuckle.

"Yes please, you don't happen to have wi-fi do you? I just need to submit some college work" The boy bit his lip in anticipation.

Minho would usually say to customers that he didn't have any wifi, mainly because yes, they had cafe internet for the workers, but the owner was more reluctant to give it out to strangers knowing they could hack into everything else just by being simply connected to their phone. But one look at the boy with puffy cheeks, and big wide eyes expecting a yes, and Minho was a goner.
