You were busy wiping the table at the café you worked in, when you felt somebody staring at you. You looked up and searched, your eyes finally landing on a jet black haired guy, with a pale complexion. You quirked an eyebrow at him, as if to ask if he wanted something but he just looked away.

Shrugging your shoulders, you walked back to stand behind the counter and sat down on the stool beside the cooler. You began chatting with your co worker when the bell at the door jingled.

'Hey, look, the hot Blondie is here,' Your co worker whispered to you before turning to take the customer's order. You just chuckled at her, not really taking interest in the situation, but you couldn't help but steal a glance.

A very smartly dressed blond haired, twenty-something man with brilliantly captivating eyes was speaking to her, possibly placing his order. She gestured to you for a large cup of cappuccino, snapping you out of your trance.

You saw him taking a seat two tables away from the black haired man. Making a mental note to not make a fool of yourself, you took his cappuccino and proceeded towards him. You sketched his face roughly in your head while he was looking out the window.

It wasn't hard to notice a slight depression in his gaze when he turned his head to face you. Just as soon as you saw it, it went, making you rethink about what you saw. His eyes turned to crescents, as he smiled at you, something you noticed he didn't do to your co worker.

Score one for me.

Smiling back gracefully, you placed his cup in front of him before bowing and leaving. Only once you had reached behind the counter did you notice your heart was beating at an unbelievable speed.

You felt a strange pull towards that man, that you didn't know how to decipher. You thought of Jin; Maybe he could help you, but then again, he was the same guy who cracked a pun with cows and bread that morning and called to tell you he was gay. You shook your head, eliminating that option and decided you would just forget about it like it was just another one of those stale stages of attraction.

'Y/N!' You heard a familiar voice. You turned around to see Jimin and your younger brother, Jungkook walk in.

'Hey boys, what's up?' You greeted them as they sat down at a table.

'Nothing much really, another tough day at practice again, that's all. We were just passing by and thought we'd drop in for one of those amazing cups of Caramel Macchiato.' He smiled at you angelically, making you think why you hadn't fallen for him in the first place. You silently chuckled to yourself at the puerile thought.

'By the way,' You said as you walked over to the counter, them being the closest, so it was easy to talk to them across the counter.

'Yeah?' Jungkook asked.

'Did you boys, by any chance, ask Jin to tell me he was gay?' You questioned, making them look at each other quizzically.

'Jin Hyung's gay?' Jungkook asked you with sincere shock and surprise in his voice.

'That's what I want to know,' you said, chuckling before handing them their drinks. 'He just randomly called me and blurted out "I'm gay" before laughing obnoxiously and cutting the call. I heard another laugh in the background. I figured they could be yours.'

'Noona, he dropped us at the agency and left for University. It either was another pun he recently discovered or his friends must have dared him to say it.' Jungkook said before taking a bite off his croissant.

'Yeah, I guess. I'll ask him later,' You said as you cleaned the counter, not knowing what else to do, when something struck you.

'Oh, boys, 9 o'clock, don't you think he's hot?' You whispered as you dragged a chair to sit in between them.

'I bet Jin Hyung would,' Jimin joked before raising his hand to high five Jungkook.

'I'm being serious. Doesn't he? I mean, look at him - work of divine art, he so looks out of place in this ordinary shop.' You said as you rested your cheek on your palm, while you goggled at him not-so-discreetly.

'What, are you trying to say he's royalty?' Jungkook asked, munching loudly on his croissant.

'No, you air head. Just answer my question before I kick you both out.' You glared at both of them.

'Okay, Okay... Let's see-' Jimin said as he literally checked him out, gave a nod and a sigh before looking back at you, this time shaking his head.

'What?' You asked, raising an eyebrow. He shook his head again, making you grab his hand. 'What is it?'

'You could never afford that Chanel coat he's sporting,' Jimin whispered seriously before him and Jungkook burst out in roars of laughter.

'Oh God, seriously Jimin?' You smacked his hand before getting up, 'You know what, forget it.'

'Don't worry, it's not hard to.' Jungkook said, laughing, but stopped just as you turned your head to glare at him.

'I think we'll leave now, Y/N,' Jimin chuckled nervously noticing the change in your demeanor before paying the bill and almost sprinting out of the café with Jungkook at his tail.

Just then, you noticed the Blond haired man standing up and leaving, and you felt the disappointment creep in that he hadn't called you for another order.

Well, he did have a large cappuccino, you reasoned.

Almost instantly, you saw the black haired man also leaving the café. You wondered if he knew the other man but thought it would just be better not to think about it.

You looked at the clock and saw it was time for you to leave, so you went in to grab your coat and bag.

When you reached for the coat, you remembered what Jimin had said, "You could never afford that Chanel coat he's sporting."

Bullshit. It's no big deal. As far this keeps me warm, I'm completely okay with it, you thought, silently cursing at Jimin for joking about your allowance.

You conveyed to your co worker you were leaving and walked out of the door. The sudden gust of wind got you numb almost instantly and wondered if you should have taken the car instead of letting your classmate take it.

You considered calling Jin but again decided against it and reasoned it was just a fifteen minute walk.

'Piece of cake,' you mumbled before sticking in your earphones and playing the music on full volume, you dancing along as you walked.
