I sighed and dropped my head against the bench, flinching at the loud sound, but not feeling any pain. I groaned and closed my eyes, crossing my arms in front of my face, wanting death to consume me because of my breakless and boring six hour shift, which was technically illegal, but it's not like I cared because I was the one who started early by choice and didn't ask for a break.

I was currently working three jobs (it's not like anyone knew about these though because I only just decided on jobs he has because new idea) because of something I wanted to do back before Minghao and myself broke up and wanted to do even more so now we were together again.

I was close to drifting off to sleep because of how slowly the shift was dragging — even though I knew I only had a maximum of 20 minutes left in my shift before I could go home and sleep — when I heard the bell that was associated with new customers ring.

Immediately I lifted my head, torn from my almost rest and groaned and slammed it back down as soon as I saw every single one of my friends walk through the door. A few seconds later, I felt familiar fingers raking through my (thankfully soft and clean) hair, giving me a slight scalp massage whilst in the process. He kissed my forehead before playing with my hair again.

"Wait, you two are being more affectionate than normal. What's happening here?" I heard Jeonghan ask. The hand in my hair froze before moving to rest on my arm and I lifted my head again. I looked at Minghao in shock and he looked back at me with the exact same expression, looking like a deer in the headlights.

"We may... we may be together again?" I responded quietly, but it sounded more like a question. "When... did this happen?" He asked again, scarily calm for someone who just found out that their friends were dating again. "Three days ago?" Minghao answered this time, voice small, looking at me uncertainly. I nodded in reassurance and he smiled. "Why the hell did neither of you tell us?" He asked in an accusatory tone at the exact time Seungcheol shouted, "I knew you were going to get back together!"

Seungcheol almost sounded as if the two of us being together was a personal victory and I just shook my head in confusion. "Whoops?" I said weakly in response to Jeonghan's previous question. "So why is everyone here?" I asked, standing up properly after grabbing the hand of Minghao's that was lingering on my arm. "Well Jihoon's had no sleep so he needs a lot of coffee to process anything that is happening so I thought, why not just hold our meeting at your workplace today?"

"Absolutely not. When we discuss the competition we're so damn loud and we'll scare every single customer away! And does it look like we have any tables that will be big enough to fit all 14 of us?." I stated barely a second after Seungcheol spoke. He pouted at me, which was irritating because all of us knew that whenever he acted cute he ended up getting his own way, so nobody ever tried to stop him. "But don't you have a room upstairs which is used for meetings?" He asked and I sighed.

"But it's meant to be employees only in the meeting room. I'll get in trouble if I don't ask for permission." I reasoned and he pouted more, looking up at me with big eyes. I then sighed as I knew he was going to get his way. "Fine! I'll ask my manager if we can use the room. Are you happy now?" He immediately stopped pouting and grinned at me.

Seungcheol could probably get a position as a CEO of a company by using his aegyo. The saddest thing is that only our youngest can resist his aegyo, but he was wrapped around Seungcheol's finger and vice versa and when they combined forces and begged anyone for anything, all hell could potentially break loose.
