What is the greatest approach to recharge in the morning? For Joshua, it was a warm cup of coffee. The aroma of freshly ground beans never failed to rouse him intellectually. It was around nine in the morning. He decided to go to his favourite cafe.

Fortunately, he was the café's first guest. He was greeted by the sight of the Chinese couple setting up the counter.

"Hello Shua," Minghao remarked with a bright smile on his face. Joshua reciprocated the excitement, waving his hand happily.

"Any special orders today?" Jun questioned, chuckling as he remembered Seokmin's dismay from the day before.

"What do you mean?" Joshua said. Minghao responded, "Well, my dear friend Seokmin was kind enough to explain the reason behind the strange drink that he ordered."

"Come on, it wasn't that strange," said Joshua.

They had a few hearty laughs before Joshua gave his order. He was able to get it in a matter of minutes because there were no other customers there. The three pals sat together in the cafe's corner.

After taking a sip, Joshua said, "Guys, I need some advice-" But the poor man couldn't complete his sentence.

"I swear to God, we can't help you with love advice," Minghao remarked with a tiny sigh.

Joshua stared at him with a puzzled expression. "Love? "

"Well, Seokmin came to us asking for Love advice, don't you want some too?" Jun's boyfriend said, "Even if you wanted, we wouldn't be able to give you"

"I wanted friendship advice, guys," Joshua began, as the couple exchanged sheepish looks. They had fantasized about many things.

"What's your problem?" Jun said. He pretended as if he held a small diary along with a pen, in order to behave like the the world's finest therapist.

"I just don't know how to talk to our gang," the American confessed, to which Minghao replied, "It depends on what your heart wants." "If it wants you to talk to your old friends, do that otherwise make new ones"

"You think that'll work?" Joshua was questioned. Love and friendship were two concepts he had never grasped in his life.

Jun and Minghao offered him a reassuring nod. Joshua simply grinned before taking another sip of his Iced Americano.

Love did not work out for him; perhaps friendship would.
