[ THREE ]

by lunch time, yugyeom understands why jaebum and jinyoung looked like they wanted the customers dead. yugyeom wanted to be nice to those who didn't deserve glares and cursed, really. he tried, and failed horribly. he had lost it when a man, not much older than him judging by his looks and style, had actually returned the drink after drinking it and requested for a refund as it "wasn't up to his standard". and when yugyeom had refused, the man had actually demanded to see JYP, which yugyeom thought was the worst decision he could make because JYP couldn't give a fuck about what happens as long as they got money.

"dude, you drank the whole thing, you don't get shit in return. and we don't do refunds for shitbags, thank you."

"wow, and i thought only the drinks were bad. looks like their employees aren't any better. i deserve to see your manager." the man said, leaning against the counter.

"you don't deserve shit. and honestly my manager couldn't care less if you dropped dead right now and neither could i, so piss off before jaebum hyung gets here." yugyeom didn't even know why he brought jaebum in, but maybe a factor was the fact that jaebum wouldn't hesitate to kill someone if they made him angry enough.

"what? is he like your boyfriend or something?" the man asked with a smirk.

"actually no, jaebum's my boyfriend. and yugyeom here is our newest employee and also our precious maknae. and you probably don't wanna make me angry too, because i'm the only one controlling that man over there." jinyoung pointed at jaebum who was eyeing a couple doing too much PDA, intimidating gaze with broad shoulders and all. he must have sensed jinyoung pointing at him, because he looked over and the man looked away, intimidated.

"whatever. just my luck to run into assholes then." the man muttered as he walked out the cafe. yugyeom glanced at the cup in his hand. kibum, he read.

"what a stupid name." jinyoung laughed over his shoulder as he grabbed the cup and threw it away.

"thanks hyung." yugyeom muttered shyly as jinyoung ruffled his hair.

"no problem kid. come on, get back to work. that guy's been waiting for his drink for like, 15 minutes." jinyoung points at a guy leaning against the counter, scrolling through his phone with a receipt in his hand. he's wearing a black cap and a white face mask and looks kinda like a celebrity. another man is next to him, their arms looped together. yugyeom decides they're together and that's okay, because he's gay too. he speeds through their orders and walks over.

"hi, sorry for the wait. here's your drinks. have a nice day." yugyeom says politely and the man looks up. and yugyeom thinks he nearly choked on his saliva because it was jeon fucking jungkook, his childhood best friend that died to somewhere and then later reappeared again in the magazines as a model with his equally model material boyfriend.

"oh my god it is kim yugyeom! i thought it was you when i walked in. how have you been? i haven't seen you since like, 12th grade." jungkook says as he hugs yugyeom across the counter, and yugyeom hugs him back equally tight because damn, did he miss jungkook.

"i'm great, well maybe not as good as you but still! i've got a job and stuff, so yeah still living. how's you and uh, ta-taehyung was it?" yugyeom asks, gesturing to the guy behind jungkook. he looks up and waves and yugyeom has to admit, he is as hot as his other gay friends say.

"nice to meet you. i'm kim yugyeom. how has dating this bunny been?" taehyung laughs and shakes his hand.

"kookie does look like a bunny. and it's great to meet his childhood best friend. i've heard lots about you." taehyung says and wow his voice is deep. one of starbucks's baristas talking to two of the top models in the industry must attract people's attention, because soon some teenage girls are coming up for autographs and pictures.

"hey, how about we catch up some other time? i'll call you or something." jungkook says as he signs on some notebook. yugyeom quickly scribbles his number on an old receipt and passes it to jungkook.

"yeah sure. enjoy your drinks and fans." yugyeom laughs as he walks off to jaebum and jinyoung who are eyeing him curiously.

"someone's friends with famous people." jaebum teases when he reaches them.

"who is?" bambam's head suddenly pops out from god knows where and jinyoung clutches his chest in shock.

"i am. friends with jungkook and taehyung." and yugyeom swears bambam's eyes pop out so much he's afraid they're gonna fall off.

"you mean the jeon jungkook and kim taehyung? you're so lucky, they're like the hottest couple in the fashion industry right now. you gotta introduce then to me." bambam tugs on his arm like a kid and yugyeom sighs in agreement.

"i'm meeting jungkook soon, you can come i guess. but! please don't do anything weird." yugyeom pleads.

"that's kinda impossible for him." jaebum chuckles and bambam actually agrees. willingly.

"you'll try."

"no promises."
