Coffee Shop | Taeten/Tenyong

Coffee Shop

A bell rang as two males entered the coffee shop. The place was quite deserted, is being the fact that it was 12 am. The booths were empty and the only person there other than them was the cashier, who was sitting on a stool while playing on her phone, unaware of the two who entered the coffee shop. Ten cleared his throat as he walked up to the cashier, with a shy Taeyong trailing behind him.

"Excuse me", Ten spoke and the girl looked up from her phone and saw a man who was wearing a white mask covering his face a black hat. She immediately put her phone down and got up while dusting off her apron to stand behind the cash.

"Hello! Welcome to Dream's Coffee Shop. What can I get for you today?", she smiled at Ten.

"Can I get two iced coffees please?", He turned around to Taeyong, raising his eyebrows in approval. Taeyong shook his head and hid his face in the crook of Ten's neck, immersing himself in the smell of Ten's vanilla body lotion.

"What do you want, Tae?", He pulled Taeyong's face in front of him and asked.

"Hot Chocolate", he mumbled into Ten's ear. "With whipped cream", he added.

Ten chuckled to himself and turned back around to face the cashier, who was typing their orders in.

"Can I have one iced coffee and one hot chocolate with whipped cream please", She nodded her head and changed the order on the cash and spoke;

"That would be 8000 wons please."

Ten took out his wallet from his back pocket and gave the cashier the money.

"Thank you, your order will be ready in a few minutes, take a seat",

Taeyong intertwined his fingers with Ten's and pulled him to the booth, farthest away from the front entrance, in the corner.

"How are you feeling Tae? ", Ten asked? looking at Taeyong straight in the eye.

"Tired", he replied sitting back into the booth, closing his eyes.

"Me too, but at least we start practice later tomorrow so we can get some sleep", he reasoned.

"Hey", Ten called out. Taeyong opened up his eyes to meet with Ten's soft ones.

"It's gonna be okay, Taeyong", Ten grabbed one of Taeyong's hands and wrapped his warm ones around it, stroking it gently.

Taeyong felt tears well up in his eyes as he recalled his practice earlier. He was indeed tired and sick of the 14 hours he spent practising. He just wanted a break, a short break. But no, he couldn't. Even though he was going to perform Baby Don't Stop in 2 days time, he still felt he didn't know the choreography well enough. It may seem right to everyone else, but to him, it had to be perfect, it had to be outstanding. But most of all, he wanted to make Ten, his boyfriend in front of him, proud.

"Don't put to much pressure on yourself, Tae. Baby, it's going to be okay", Taeyong sniffed as tears trickled down his face as he listened to Ten's comforting words. He wiped his tears with his free hand but they kept rolling down, and he knew they weren't planning on stopping anytime soon.

"Come here", Ten motioned to his side of the booth. Taeyong got up and went towards Ten's side. Ten wrapped his arms around Taeyong and let the other male rest his head on his shoulder, allowing him to cry, soaking up his red supreme t-shirt. But at that time, he didn't care, he just wanted his boyfriend to let out all the emotions he was keeping to himself.

"Shhh, its okay Tae", he rubbed circles around the other's back, as Taeyong's sobbing turned into muffled cries.

The waiter came around with their drinks, eyeing Taeyong suspiciously but quickly averted her gaze when she felt a glare piercing into her soul from Ten.
