Felix had been working at the café for nearly a year now, thanks to his best friend Hyunjin, who had landed him the job. The place was cozy, with its warm wooden interior and the smell of fresh coffee filling the air every day. Felix liked it-he liked how it felt like a small escape from the outside world, where he could focus on making lattes and serving regulars. But there was always one mystery hanging in the back of his mind: the boss.

No one had ever seen him. Everyone knew his name-Lee Minho-but the man himself had never stepped foot in the café during business hours. Felix had heard rumors from his co-workers: Minho was strict, aloof, a perfectionist. He ran the place from a distance, leaving the management to the head barista and keeping an intimidating presence in the background.

That all changed one afternoon.

-----

They were told early that morning: Minho was coming. Everyone panicked. The usual casual chatter among the staff became tense, hurried whispers about making sure everything was perfect. Felix, however, tried to stay calm. He was good at his job-he had nothing to worry about, right?

Still, he couldn't shake the slight nerves creeping in as the time drew closer.

Finally, around mid-afternoon, the café door swung open, and there he was-Lee Minho. The man everyone had been talking about for months. He strode in with an air of authority, dressed in sleek, all-black attire that only added to his intimidating presence. He glanced around the café, his eyes sharp and observant.

The workers froze. No one wanted to approach him. It was as if time had stopped, and the energy in the room shifted dramatically. Hyunjin gave Felix a subtle nudge. "Go take his order," he whispered. "You're the calmest out of all of us."

Felix swallowed hard but nodded. He had no choice. With as much composure as he could muster, he made his way to Minho's table. The man's presence was even more overwhelming up close-his gaze piercing and unreadable.

"Good afternoon," Felix greeted, keeping his voice steady. "What can I get for you?"

Minho looked up at him, his expression unreadable for a moment. Then, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "One coffee and some brownies," he said. His voice was smooth, almost too calm for how intimidating he looked. "And meet me after your shift."

Felix's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't say no. "Yes, sir," he replied, turning to fulfill the order. But his mind was racing. Why did Minho want to meet him? Had he done something wrong? Was he in trouble?

------

The rest of the shift passed in a blur. Felix couldn't focus, and time seemed to drag on. When the clock finally hit closing time, he finished his tasks and headed outside. As expected, Minho was waiting for him by the café entrance, leaning casually against the wall, his hands in his pockets.

"Let's talk," Minho said simply, gesturing for Felix to follow him.

Felix nodded, his stomach turning with anxiety. They walked a short distance until they reached an alleyway away from the bustling street. The further they went, the more Felix's heart raced. Was he going to get fired? Had he done something terribly wrong?

When they stopped, Felix stood there, frozen in place. Minho turned to face him, his expression serious. He took a step closer, and Felix instinctively stepped back until he felt the cold brick of the alley wall behind him. There was no escape now.

Minho's eyes were locked onto Felix's, his gaze intense. "You know what I want?" Minho asked, his voice low and deliberate as he closed the distance between them.

Felix's breath hitched. "What do you want?"

"You."

The word sent a shiver down Felix's spine. Minho's presence, his confidence, the way he was looking at him-it made Felix's heart race for a whole different reason now. He didn't find Minho unattractive, not at all. In fact, the longer Minho stood there, pinning him against the wall, the more Felix found himself liking the situation.

"Oh, really?" Felix asked, raising an eyebrow, though he couldn't hide the slight smirk that formed on his lips.

Minho nodded, his gaze never wavering. "Yes."

Without thinking twice, Felix leaned in, closing the small gap between them, their lips crashing together in a heated kiss. It wasn't soft, or tentative-it was wild, full of pent-up tension and desire. Minho's hands were firm on Felix's waist, pulling him closer, and Felix responded eagerly, wrapping his arms around Minho's neck as their kiss deepened.

The world outside the alley faded away. It was just the two of them, caught in the intensity of the moment. The kiss grew more desperate, more passionate, and soon enough, Minho pulled back, his breath ragged. "Let's go to my place."

Felix nodded, his mind already clouded with desire. They quickly left the alley and headed to Minho's apartment, which wasn't far from the café. Once inside, the tension between them only grew. Minho wasted no time, pulling Felix close again as they continued what had started in the alley. Clothes were discarded, and they made their way to the bedroom, the air thick with heat and longing.

They both knew this wasn't just a one-time thing. There was something undeniable between them-something that went beyond the boss and employee dynamic. By the time the night ended, they were tangled in each other's arms, exhausted but satisfied.

-----

The next morning, Minho accompanied Felix back to the café. The staff exchanged glances, clearly surprised to see them together, but no one dared to say a word. Felix couldn't hide the smile on his face, and Minho's usual serious demeanor seemed a little softer, a little more relaxed.

As they entered the café, Felix felt a new kind of confidence. Whatever had started between him and Minho the night before, it wasn't going to end anytime soon. And he was perfectly fine with that.

The End.
