Different stories for different chapters! The aim of this book is to show Enhypen's bond whether in fiction or in reality! (*psst! Sunoo is the main focus to show ppl his members adore him!) Some other groups may make an appearance!
The café was buzzing with energy as ENHYPEN members took on the challenge of running a café for 24 hours as part of their EN-O’CLOCK episode. They’d all been assigned different roles—some working the counter, others brewing coffee, and some making drinks to order.
Sunghoon, with his sleeves rolled up and an apron tied around his waist, was stationed by the espresso machine, focusing intensely on pulling perfect shots of espresso. His natural precision showed through with each cup of coffee he made, his movements swift and skilled. "Heeseung, can you pass me the milk frother?" Sunghoon asked, eyes never leaving the machine.
Heeseung, who was busy taking an order at the counter, quickly handed it to him, offering a wink. "You're on fire today, Sunghoon."
Jay, who was mixing up a special iced tea, chuckled from his station. "He always takes coffee so seriously. It's like he's in a barista competition."
Sunoo, on the other hand, was stationed at the register, greeting customers with his signature radiant smile. As the line continued to form, one customer, a tall guy in his twenties, stepped forward to order. He glanced at the menu, eyes skimming over it before his gaze settled on Sunoo.
"Hi, what can I get for you today?" Sunoo asked, his voice as warm as the café’s atmosphere.
The customer hesitated for a second before smiling shyly. "I'll have an iced Americano, please. But, um... before that, I just wanted to say, you're really pretty."
Sunoo blinked in surprise, a soft flush rising in his cheeks. He wasn’t unused to compliments, but something about the directness caught him off guard. Still, his smile widened, and he bowed his head slightly. "Thank you. That’s very kind of you to say."
As Sunoo keyed in the order, the customer couldn’t help but stare at him a little longer, captivated by his soft features and the way he gracefully moved around behind the counter. Sunghoon, noticing the lingering gaze, shot a playful glance toward Sunoo, who caught it and rolled his eyes, mouthing, "Stop it" with a small grin.
Meanwhile, Jungwon was focused on perfecting the matcha lattes for the next customer, his small frame leaning over the counter as he drizzled art on top of the foam. Ni-ki, positioned beside him, was shaking a pitcher filled with iced tea vigorously, grinning at how much fun he was having. “How’s it coming, Jungwon?”
“Almost done,” Jungwon replied, carefully placing the cup down. “But you're making a mess with all that shaking."
Ni-ki only laughed. "I’m trying to look professional, okay?"
At the same time, Jake was handling pastries, his eyes lighting up every time someone complimented his arrangement. “Sunghoon, check out these croissants! Don’t they look perfect?”
“Yeah, yeah,” Sunghoon responded, focused on frothing another latte. “But did you see the perfect cappuccino foam I just made?”
While the rest of the members were busy with their tasks, the customer’s gaze remained fixed on Sunoo, who was now preparing another order. Sunoo worked swiftly, fingers dancing over cups and lids as he assembled drinks, occasionally pushing his hair back from his face with an absentminded flick. The customer smiled to himself, still watching as Sunoo interacted with everyone with his usual sunny disposition.
As the customer finally picked up his iced Americano, he couldn’t resist saying, “You really brighten this place up.”
Sunoo, lifting his head, gave a small laugh. “Thank you! Enjoy your drink.” His politeness made the interaction all the more endearing, and the customer left the café with an extra spring in his step.
Sunghoon noticed the exchange and nudged Sunoo as he came over to refill the milk frother. “Looks like you’ve got an admirer.”
“Shut up,” Sunoo said with a playful pout, pushing Sunghoon gently on the shoulder. “I’m just doing my job.”
“Sure, sure,” Sunghoon teased, grinning as he turned back to the espresso machine, but the smile lingered on his face as he watched Sunoo return to the register.
The café kept bustling, with each member taking turns switching roles and serving new customers. As the hours ticked by, it was clear that every person who walked into the café was treated with Sunoo’s warmth, Sunghoon’s precision, and the unique charm of each ENHYPEN member. But for that one customer, his day had been made by a single compliment and the polite smile of the one and only Sunoo.
