Hyunjin's POV:

"Come on Felix." I say pulling the younger. "I'm literally right behind you Hyunjin, calm down." Felix tells me. I just rolled my eyes in response. "I know you are, I just really want to see Y/n." I say. As we were walking, I could hear the snow crunching under our shoes. "Why are we even heading over now? It's only five, and the cafe doesn't close until seven." Felix brings up. "I texted Han earlier to see if we could take Y/n away from work and hang out with her." I explained. "Plus, Han said it was a good idea because she hasn't been taking breaks for a while." I added. Felix looked at me in shock. "She hasn't been taking her breaks?" He asked. I nodded my head in response. "In the short amount of time that we've known her, is that really the most shocking thing I've said about her?" I asked. Felix let out a sigh. "Good point." He said. The two of us walked for another five minutes before we reached the door to the cafe. As we walked in, I could tell how busy it was. I saw Chan standing behind the counter next to Han. I feel Felix grab my hand as he pulled me to the register where Y/n was standing. "Welcome to Seoul Sweets, what can I get started for you?" She asked without looking up immediately. "Maybe a break?" I teased her. After I said that, Y/n looked up and saw Felix and I standing there. I watched as a smile broke out onto her face. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" She asked us. "We're here to get you." Felix tells her. She looked at us confused. "Get me? I still have two hours of work left." Y/n said. Before I could say anything, Han walked over to us. "No, you don't. You are officially done with work for the day." Han tells her. "Since when?" She asked. "Since now. Now, go clock out. Chan is here to help make and run drinks and food for the customers, I'll watch the register, and Minho and Innie are going to keep doing what they normally do. You need to take a break." He tells her. "But-" She starts. "Y/n, for fucks sake, go clock out and spend time with your boyfriends. We got everything covered here; I promise." Minho says, speaking up from the counter. "Wow, so now everyone is teaming up against me now." Y/n says before sighing. "Fine, I'm going to go clock out." I watched as she walked into the back to go clock out. "How you like working here Chan?" I asked him. "It's honestly not that bad. It's a nice environment and I'm having a good time." He explained. "By having a good time, you mean staring at I.N all day then I bet." Han said. I hear Chan scoff at that. "Like Changbin does when he works here?" He retaliates. I watched as Han blushed slightly at that and Felix and I laughed at that. "Whatever." Han grumbles. "Alright, I'm all clocked out and have everything that I need. I'm ready to go."

Y/n's POV:

I walked in between Hyunjin and Felix while holding their hands. "Where are we going?" I asked the two. "We're going back to the house. No one is there currently so we can do whatever we want." Felix tells me. I nodded my head. "Where did the others go? I mean other than Chan because he's at the cafe." I asked. "Like you said, Chan is at the cafe, Changbin went to go visit his family in Yongin, and Seungmin went to go visit some of our friends." Hyunjin explained. "I didn't realize that you guys had friends outside of us." I teased. "Ha ha." Felix says with a deadpan expression. I just laughed slightly. A few more minutes passed by before we made it to their house. Hyunjin unlocked the door before Felix pulled me up the stairs to their room. I tossed my bag onto the floor before flopping onto their bed. "Comfortable?" Hyunjin asked. "Very." I say as I laid there. I feel the bed sink on both sides of me. "Is there anything specific that you want to do?" Felix asked me before wrapping his arm around my waist. I let out a hum. "Honestly? I just want to smoke and sleep. I've been working on some changes to the cafe, and it's been a mess." I admitted. "Is your stuff in your bag?" I hear Felix ask. "Front pocket as usual." I say. Hyunjin sat up and grabbed my bag. He opened the front pocket and grabbed the Ziploc bag that had a few joints and my lighter in it and handed it to me. As I opened the bag, I heard Hyunjin speak up. "Can we share with you?" He asked while I grabbed a joint. "I didn't know you guys smoked." I say as I put the joint in between my lips and lit it. "We've been alive for over 200 years; we've done a bit of everything." Felix says. I inhaled a bit of the joint before pulling it away from my lips. "Fair point." I say before handing the joint over to Hyunjin. I exhaled the smoke as I sat in between Felix's legs. "So, what are these changes you are making to the cafe?" Hyunjin asked after taking a hit. "Well, I want to add tinted windows, so that way anyone can come to the cafe, let it be human, vampires, werewolves or whatever else might be out there." I explained. "I also wanted to extend the hours slightly so that way more people can come and visit the shop. We currently are open from eight in the morning to seven at night, but I wanted to extend it to ten at night." I mentioned. For the next few hours, Hyunjin, Felix and I shared a joint and were talking about the cafe and other things. I started to feel tired and was starting to doze off. "Go to sleep Y/n. We'll let Minho, Han and I.N know you're going to stay over here, and then we'll take you to work tomorrow." Hyunjin tells me. I nodded my head before laying down on the bed and falling asleep.
