~Long Time No See ~

I’m getting coffee. Fancy anything?”

Subtle.

But not so subtle, Kwon Jiyong.

It had been ten days since we last saw each other and I surmised he wanted to meet up “You just want to see me” I bit my lower lip before I sent the text a daredevil would only attempt to send.

In less than a minute he replied an equally daring statement, “Guilty as charged. Now what would you like?”

”Did you win free shopping vouchers? What’s with the cheesy smile?” Kang Daesung, my colleague and also my friend since college, chirped.

I waved my hand to shoo him off, “Just get on with your work, Dae”

“I would be delighted to. But hearing you go all ‘HEEHEEHEE’ every single time your phone rings stops me from doing so. It’s distracting!” he complained finishing off with a scowl.

I scrunched my face, “I’m so not doing that! Oh. Here's another suggestion. Why don’t you kill time by drooling over Bom like usual?” I pointed towards the counter of our graphics team leader who was also one of my friends, Park Bom. Daesung had been crushing on her ever since we both got into the company as graphic designers straight after graduation. He never verbalized it. He never even introduced himself to her. There was one time when I decided to his wingwoman and help him with her but he chickened out. So after a year of just staring at her from afar, there was still no progress.

“I would if Choi Seunghyun stops blocking the view” he bitterly remarked as he heaved a deep sigh. I found Choi Seunghyun, our other colleague also known as the office heartthrob, leaning over Bom’s counter and openly flirting with her. He was Daesung’s ‘arch rival’. But the thing was, there wasn’t really any competition as Daesung wouldn’t even put up a fight.

I held onto my friend’s shoulder, “A confession wouldn’t hurt, you know? Who knows, Bom might prefer you over Seunghyun”

“Fat chance” Daesung shrugged pessimistically.

Our conversation was cut when my phone suddenly rang. My heart skipped a beat when I saw who it was, “Hello Jiyong?”

“Hey. I’m already in front of the queue. Tell me what you like” he asked in a sultry, raspy voice. It seemed as if he was fresh off the bed with how husky it was.

“I’m at work. You’re not serious about coming here and bringing me coffee are you?”

“I’m serious.” Terse and straightforward.

I smirked, “You seem to have a lot of time in your hands Kwon Jiyong”

“My boss doesn’t want me to come back to work yet. He said I needed more rest so I’m free the whole week. Now what would you like? – Oh! Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like some cupcakes too? There’s toffee, banoffee, raspberry, blueberry…”
