A choir of birds sing a melodious tune as they welcome the rays of morning light,which were in fact extraordinary warm and welcoming.The humble town of Daegu in which the birds reside was peaceful and quiet as it was still early in the morning but it wouldn't be long until the city would be filled with the voices of its citizens and the busy sounds of the morning market.

It was a Sunday morning and usually there wouldn't be much people working except for restaurants and leisure companies.People would come together either with family or friends to bond on this day as Sunday is unofficially considered a family day.

But admist the rows of buildings,a young male sat by the window,indulged in his music making.It was common sight to see Namjoon in his apartment recording.The male would usually spend his time making the music which he loved ,he would go through them again and again until it was just right.Its strange that some may ask of how he would get inspiration for his music.Well he would usually say that it was from his dreams but in truth,they were usually dedicated to his boyfriend,well ex that is.

You see,Jin and Namjoon used to be a couple all until an unfortunate event.
"Jin probably is playing with you.Your better of without him anyway."Was what his colleagues-Hoseok and Suga at work would tell him.He would try his best to not believe in it but sometimes he couldn't control himself and wonder if it was real.

When he finally stopped,he glanced at the clock in his studio and realize it was almost lunch.Since he has been on an empty stomach for so long,it would be wise for him to go out and find something to eat and to get some air.He quickly dressed into a simple outfit consisting of a white tee,a denim jacket and worn out jeans.Putting on his red converse,the hungry male took his keys and left his comfy home.Once out ,he took in to his surroundings.The streets were busy with cars and pedestrians,people from all walks of life carrying out with their daily routine.Namjoon could see families discussing about where to go and groups of people laughing about corny jokes which weren't that funny.

He scanned the streets in search of somewhere to have his brunch and a good cup of coffee.After walking aimlessly ,he finally stopped at a newly opened cafe.The sign of the cafe "Odeng & Eomukkie's cafe house"hung proudly on display.The grey and white paint on the buildings makes a perfect contrast for the colourful furniture.Right at the entrance a standing blackboard showcasing the menu of the day.The musician scanned the menu and stopped at the coffee section "Frappucino,Mocha,Latte,Americano.."Due to the lack of sleep spending on the 20 hour marathon of music writing,Namjoon was craving for some good old classic Americano.So he pushed open the entrance in order to purchase what he wanted.A tiny bell by the side of the door rang,alerting the cafe Batistas and servers that someone has entered.

"Welcome to Odeng and Eomukkie's."A chestnut haired boy greeted Namjoon with a bunny toothed grin as the other workers smiled and nodded.Namjoon proceeded to the counter to queue and looked at the menu with a puzzled look,wondering he should eat.

"Is there anything you like?We have freshly baked bagels and our signature Americano."A golden haired male spoke politely to the woman who was in front of him."I'll have a bagel with a latte please."The woman then proceeded to pay the wanted amount for the freshly made goods."Thank you,we will serve you your order once it's done."The cashier gave his customer a smile which would swoon anyone who sees it.

At last,it was finally Namjoon's turn."Hi I'm Jimin,your cashier for the day."Jimin elaborated in a sweet tone."Is there anything I could get you?"

Having rehearsed the orders in his mind a couple times,Namjoon told him what he wanted with precision."So one americano and a club sandwich."repeated the blond as he pressed the buttons on the screen.
"Is there anything else? You can try our new Strawberries and cream cake,our boss made it himself."Jimin winked.

Namjoon thought about the cake and it took him down memory lane.Jin in use to make strawberries and cream cakes ALOT.He would usually feed Namjoon with strawberry desserts when he was busy in the studio when they were together."Yah!Accept my desserts you ass!"Jin would say when he said he was too full.A smile slipped into Joon's mouth by just thinking about it."Um so would you like the cake,sir?"The cashier waved his hand in joon's face.

"Eh-erm,yes please a slice will do."The musician requested snapping out of his dreaming.Namjoon thought it would be okay to have a slice since he's never had much of anything sweet these days."Okay that would be 7000 won altogether."Jimin grinned."May I know where you will be sitting Mr...?"

"Kim Namjoon,you can call me Joon."
The male scanned the room to find a decent seat.Alas he found a window seat which was at the very corner of the store ,away from the other customers."I'll be sitting over there."

"Alright,your food will be shortly served to you,joon."

After making his order he walked to his desinated seat and waited patiently.The atmosphere in the cafe was quite noisy and Namjoon wouldn't blame anyone as it was almost lunch time and customers were coming in to explore what they had.There were two other waiters which were serving,He could make out one of them which had silver colored hair to be Taehyung by looking at sewn badge on his apron.
"Order 23!!!"The barista shouted across the room.The waiters being still occupied with serving didn't have enough time to get the order."Aish,there's too much customers and too little waiters"Namjoon thought to himself.

Just then the "staff only" door swung open.

A man who was about the age of Namjoon walked out with plates of food in both hands.There were beads of sweat on the male's well structured face.Clearly he was in a rush and the waves of customers coming in and it of he cafe didn't help."Wow today sure is busy."He walked towards the counter to help with the serving.Namjoon couldn't help wonder that the chef looked familiar.As if he'd seen him somewhere before.The chef served the food to his customers with amazing speed and swiftness that if he was any faster he would have been simply be a blur.

"Order 40!"The Barista shouted again.The chef took the food in both hands and started walking towards where Namjoon was sitting.As he got closer,the waiting male saw that the chef had wide shoulders and a prominent Cupid's bow.His sable hair framed his face nicely.The white shirt he wore with his apron was sticky with sweat.When he got closer Namjoon's eyes got wider.

"Here's your order,sir-"The chef looked at the musician and smiled.But soon the smile on his face disappeared and in its place shock took over.

"Seokjin?"
