"eh??"

Seungmin was confused, why is the boy holding the same camera? The model is kind of old, so why would he need to fix it? Nobody uses these cameras anymore.

Nobody except the boy, apparently.

The line was still long and it was starting to get really annoying. People were talking loudly, kids were screaming and crying, everyone was disturbing everyone's personal space. It felt like seungmin's head is going to explode. He couldn't stay in this environment, but he had to.

With an annoyed look, seungmin was still standing in the line. Thinking about the boy that stood in front of him. Seungmin was getting more and more curious, but he wasn't that curious yet to actually talk to the boy.

The line was slowly getting shorter, but still wasn't too short.

Seungmin was starting to get impatient and lost in his own thoughts. The lack of sleep was getting the best of him, he even had trouble maintaining his balance. His eyes were closing, it looked like he's gonna fall down and sleep by any second.

Some people even noticed his tiredness, but didn't say anything about it. They had their own businesses to mind, plus their inconsiderateness was really apparent. If seungmin actually fell, they would probably think something like "uhh I'm not gonna help him, some another person here is going to do it for sure". But think about it, if everyone's mind was like this, there wouldn't be anybody to help. Everyone would just stare and wait if anyone will do the job instead of them.

Seungmin's eyes fell shut, he completely lost his balance and was already in another world, slowly drifting off to sleep. How can anybody sleep when they're standing?

The brown haired boy was taken back to reality when he realized he fell. But there was one small problem.

He was now in the arms of the black haired boy that was standing in the line in front of him. The boy saw seungmin's failed attempt to sleep while standing and caught him just in time.

The boy's arms were tightly holding seungmin's back to prevent him from completely falling down face flat. Their faces were inches apart from each other. Seungmin couldn't help but notice something stirring in his stomach, it was similar to when you feel butterflies, but this unexplained and unexpected feeling was even better.

The black haired boy had some really cute fox-like facial features. His beautiful fox eyes were staring right at seungmin. This felt so unreal. Almost like they just created their own reality where nobody exists besides them.

This little encounter of theirs was interrupted by the cashier loudly clearing his throat, looking like he's been watching them for a few minutes now. For how long were they in that position?

The boy quickly let go of seungmin's back, his face tinted with light red color. He was embarrassed. seungmin apologized for causing that much trouble, his apology was followed by the boy's big genuine sweet smile, alongside with the words "it's okay, the main thing is that you are okay".

Seungmin thought this is his chance to finally speak to the mysterious, but surprisingly kind boy and ask him about the camera. Sadly, the boy was already speaking to the cashier cause it was his turn in the line. After all, the boy looked like he was in a rush anyway, the last thing seungmin wanted to do was disturb and distract him when he clearly needed to be somewhere else right now. It made the brown haired boy a little sad, but he promised to himself he'll find the boy again, no matter what.

Seungmin heard the cashier clearing his throat once again, signaling that it's his turn now. He came up to the cashier, who was a man in his late sixties, with a beard and a bald head, which was reflecting the light from the big chandelier, causing seungmin to squint his eyes a little bit, otherwise he would go blind.

"what do you want, boy?" The bald man spoke, looking uninterested in the actual reason why seungmin is there

"uhh I would like to get this fixed, I know it's old but I hope you can do something with it" seungmin replied while handing the camera to the man

The bald man looked at the camera, finding it kinda strange that the customer before seungmin was there with the exact same one, but didn't say anything about it. It's not his business after all, he only wants the money anyway.

"Come back in a week". That was the last sentence seungmin heard before exiting the shop, being exposed to the loud noises coming from the rest of the mall once again.

The boy was still a little tired, so he decided it's going to be the best if he gets to drink some coffee.

He saw a cafe nearby, which looked really cozy and there were lots of customers too, meaning the coffee may be great. With no other thoughts, seungmin sped up his pace walking to the coffee shop.

The interior looked really nice. There were small wooden tables, having 4 chairs each. There also were cute lamps all over the place alongside with flowers of various colors and kinds.

The smell of coffee instantly filled his nose, only encouraging seungmin more to get one. There were no free tables left, causing seungmin to sit next to some person, who was sipping on their coffee not paying attention to anything.

The brown haired boy didn't pay attention to them either, his only goal was to get his coffee. He ordered an iced americano with extra syrup.

Seungmin does lots of weird things, one of them being drinking iced americano at any weather, any time and any occasion. Even if it's December and negative degrees outside. He would never despise his iced americano.

After a few moments of impatiently waiting for his coffee, he finally got it. Causing him to smile a little. That was the thing he needed right now.

While sipping on his coffee, seungmin decided it would be good to check the other customers and get a little aware of his surroundings. Starting with the person next to him, seungmin noticed they ordered the exact same thing. Who was this person?

Seungmin's eyes were slowly traveling from the person's coffee up to their face, only to see two beautiful fox eyes already looking at him

"What is he doing here? "
