americano | verkwan (edit)

five

—

it was almost empty in the tiny shop and it was near closing the next day, as hansol stood by the counter with a frown on his face. he hadn't seen the boy all day, with the occasional glances out the window and down in the corner, he hadn't seen a glimpse of the boy all day.

as he stood there by himself mingyu was in the backroom organising the new delivery of ingredients and coffee.

as each minute passed hansol could feel himself losing more and more hope that he would come. why wasn't he coming today?

as mingyu returns from the backroom hansol stares up at the clock. thirty minutes before closing. hansol glances back at mingyu with his eyes on his eyes phone typing something.

"you can go home, hyung. i'll close today, it's fine." hansol speaks and mingyu looks up with an instant smile.

"woah really? it's okay?" mingyu looks at hansol with excitement as hansol nods.

"thanks you, hansol-ah!" mingyu types something quickly on his phone before grabbing his jacket and rushing out the door with a wave. hansol grins and lean against the counter with a sigh.

as the time slowly passes hansol feel himself once again losing hope of the boy coming. he glance up at the clock once again. fifteen minutes left. he turns around with his back facing the door and windows just to stare at the few coffee machines.

suddenly, without warning the bell on the door ring and hansol feel his heart drop, his face heating up and his fingertips tingle. does he dare turn around?

"hello..." a male voice greet from behind hansol's back. memories from the day previous flash before hansol's eyes.

the boy with a warm voice.

the boy with a soft touch.

the boy with blonde hair.

hansol quickly turns around.

it's him.

hansol feel a tiny smile creep up on his face as he realises that he came, he's actually here, right in front of him.

"i would like an americano, please." the boy smiles and let his arms rest on the counter only a few centimetres from hansol's hands.

hansol nods and slowly turns around to begin making the coffee as he hears a giggle from the boy.

"you know i was a little late today, i apologise for that, hansol." he smiles warmly and hansol feel his cheeks heating up.

"i-it's okay." hansol turns around slightly and meet eyes with the other boy once again.

with most of the lights off in the tiny coffee shop and with the only dim glow coming from the streetlights outside, it was empty except for hansol and the boy.

"can i..." hansol mumble catch the attention of the boy in front of him."can i ask you something?" the boy grins looking up with hansol being a tiny bit taller, which made hansol's cheeks go red. the boy then nods in response and hansol take a deep breath.

"what's your name?"

the boy smiles again and hansol feel his heart speed up.

"seungkwan."

what a pretty name.
