Kihyun drank his coffee slowly, watching Hoseok serve customer after customer. As the hours ticked by, he felt his eyelids grow heavy.

I'm still not used to Korean time, he thought as he fought to stay awake, if I were still in America I should be asleep at this time.

"Hey, sorry for making you wait." Hoseok sat down in front of Kihyun. He tousled his own hair, making a few strands fall before his eyes.

Kihyun looked up and peered at Hoseok. "Nah, it's fine, I'm just-" He was cut off by a huge yawn. "Jetlag, huh?" Hoseok commented while pulling out his phone.

Kihyun couldn't help but look at the wallpaper on Hoseok's phone. He's kissing Hyungwon. Not that I have anything against it....

....or do I?

Kihyun drummed his fingertips on the table. A weird sensation enveloped him. Wait, Kihyun, you're not gay. You're not gay. You had a girlfriend back in America. Although she stuck around for only 2 months, it still makes you as straight as a stick.

Stop thinking about it!

Kihyun sat up with a jolt. Am I gay? He frowned. Hoseok noticed him staring at his wallpaper and immediately switched his phone off. "Yeah....I know we broke up but I just wanted to....you know?"

What Hoseok didn't know was that Kihyun wasn't listening to him at all. The latter's mind had wandered far away.

I wonder how it feels like to kiss someone of the same gender. Does it feel different? Does it feel nicer? A small smile crept onto Kihyun's lips.

He realized what he was thinking and stopped himself.

Let's straighten things out, Yoo Kihyun, if you aren't already straight enough to think logically. You're not going to have a crush on Hoseok, and that's that. Now give yourself and the poor man a break and just go home.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I think I'll just go back and try to adjust myself back to the time here. Let's hang out soon though," Kihyun grinned sheepishly at Hoseok.

Hoseok shrugged. "It's alright, go get a good rest. You know where to find me, eh?" He winked at Kihyun before getting back to the counter.

Hoseok has become even more good looking. It's almost....irresistible.

Kihyun pinched himself hard.

Get on grip on yourself, Kihyun, the man just broke up.

He pushed the cafe doors open and left, feeling extremely puzzled.
