"seriously get your flat ass back-" Bambam said to Jackson.

"don't tell me what to do you skinny whore." Jackson shot back. Mark laughed as bambam tackled Jackson to the floor.

"what the hell is-you know what I don't even care anymore. Jinyoung get that fine ass out here and help me." Jaebum said as he walked into the break room.

"stop flirting. His ass isn't that fine." Bambam pointed out, shamelessly flaunting his ass in front of the other five.

"fuck you, my ass is rounder than the earth. let's go." Jinyoung sassed as he pulled jaebum out of the break room.

"aren't you on shift youngjae?" mark asked the younger who was blankly scrolling through Instagram.

"am i?" youngjae asked, looking up from his phone.

"are you?" mark asked, Jackson and bambam looking back and forth between the two blankly.

"well fuck."

Yugyeom walked down the street to the starbucks joint he was assigned to a week ago when he passed that interview. He adjusted his bomber before pushing the door open and was met with chaos. The line was longer than the list of 'F's on his report card back in high school. There were like two staff in the whole damn shop, and they looked like they were ready to murder the customers anytime. Yugyeom walked over cautiously, removing one side of his earpiece to hear the man at the counter who was explaining something to a boy who looked 12.

"I'm sorry but we don't offer pumpkin spice anymore."

"but I want it."

"but we don't have it. It isn't that season yet."

"I don't care, make it."

"look kid. We don't sell that shit and I'm not making it for a ten year old 11 in the fucking morning. so get out of here before I call your babysitter or whatever, you're holding up the line." The man said and yugyeom wanted to laugh at the scowl on the boy's face as he walked past him. "I'm fucking 17 damn it." Yugyeom heard him mutter and now he was laughing for real.

"what you laughing at?" are you gonna queue or do you need something?" the man asked him.

"um I'm here for the job? I'm starting today..." yugyeom saw the man roll his eyes as he walked out from behind the counter.

"hey jaebummie did you know anything about a new kid?" the man asked. "uhh yeah. Kim yugyi or something. Just bring him to the manager and get youngjae and jackson out here. it's their fukcking shift now." Jaebum replied, waving him off.

"follow me yugyi." Yugyeom walked after the much shorter man to the back of the store.

"it's yugyeom."

"what is?" the man asked, untying his apron and opening a door.

"my name. yugyeom, not yugyi or whatever that jaebum guy called me." Yugyeom replied.

"mmhm sure. Anyways, meet the other retards who work here. The one leaning against the wall is mark. The skinny one without an ass is bambam."

"hey! I have an ass, a nice one too. And who's that?" the red head, bambam, asked.

"the new guy. Kim yugyeom anyways, the one on the phone is youngjae. And the one who's retarded 24/7 and has short legs is Jackson. And I'm jinyoung."jinyoung said.

"so what if I have short legs? I'm still tall." jackson yelled.

"you really aren't."

"yeah. Even yugyeom's taller than you." Mark pointed out.

"and he looks younger. How old are you?" youngjae asked.

"21. And shouldn't we be-"

"yOU'RE MY AGE WHAT THE FUCK? How are you so tall?" bambam yelled, getting so into yugyeom's personal space that he had to back up against the wall to prevent kissing the man.

"stop scaring him. Put your stuff down and follow me. Wang and youngjae, go help jaebum." Jinyoung said, shoving the two men out. Mark laughed as Jackson jumped slightly when he stood next to yugyeom. The older looked contrastingly short next to him.

"damn you're tall."

"oh I know."

"so yugyeom. Have you met the six other idiots yet?" the manager, JYP, asked.

"yes."

"good. I'm surprised you haven't requested for a transfer yet."

"me too." Jinyoung said from beside him.

"I need the money."yugyeom defended.

"then you came to the wrong job." Jinyoung said, earning a glare from JYP that said "shut up if you don't want to get fired."

"just do your job and you'll get paid.now go change and start memorising the recipes. You'll be on barista duty tomorrow." JYP said, tossing him a book which he caught.

"I need to memorise all this by tomorrow? That isn't fair." Yugyeom protested.

"life is never fair, get over it." Jinyoung said, walking out the door.

"but-"

"follow me yugyi!"

"it's yugyeom, damn it." Yugyeom told him as he walked out after a quick bow to the manager.

"I know. I just don't care."

"so you're a barista? Have fun kid." Mark said as he watched yugyeom toss the book on the floor.

"what do you do hyung?" yugyeom asked as he sat on the floor and flipped the book open.

"same as you. And don't worry, it gets worse by the season." Mark laughed as yugyeom groaned in frustration. He loved his job so much.
