It was Saturday and the cafe was quiet, so far.
Today happened to be Latvia's day off, which is exactly why he decided to finish his inventory today. He had already picked out the furniture for his cafe and he was almost done, the only thing he now needed were the cats and someone he trusts as the manager for when he's not there.
He did notice Minghui looking at him from time to time, Z is well aware that the older guy is friends with Latvia and was looking out for her. He tried to ignore the looks and do his job, but after seeing Minghui glaring he was once again reminded of Latvia.
How he missed her healing smile, the way she laughed and how she always tried her best to cheer him up when he was upset. If only they weren't fighting, it would make everything so much easier for him. Sadly he hasn't seen her after their argument.
"Z are you there".
He woke up from his train of thoughts when a hand waved in front of his eyes, blurring his vision.
"Huh" he let out, shaking his head softly.
When he looked in front of him he was met with the smiling face of Yuta, the younger boy looked excited about something by the way he moved on the balls of his feet.
"So I got really good news for you, do you have a minute?".
Z nodded as he motioned Yuta to follow him into the staff room. It was still early so he knew that no one would be in there.
As soon as he closed the door Yuta spilled the beans.
"I found your brother".
"What" Z asked astonished, "where is he?".
Yuta smiled, "he's coming by later, he had to finish a project as his friends house first and then he would swing by".
Feeling overjoyed Z just nodded, not entirely following what he was telling him. All he remembered was that his brother was found and he was coming over. The time didn't matter to him, he waited ten years so he could wait a few more hours.
"Anyway I just swung by to keep you updated, so you wouldn't be too surprised when he comes over".
"Yeah sure thanks for everything, this means so much for me and you didn't have to do this for me. But I'm glad you did".
"It's nothing, just glad you see me as a person and not as money" he replied.
Z squeezed Yuta's shoulder, feeling blessed by having his brother in his life again.
After their brief conversation Yuta left and Z was left behind with anticipation to see his brother again. That's why time passed so slowly for him.
Z was about to fall asleep on the counter out of boredom. His hand lazily wiping the counter with a cloth.
When someone cleared his throat Z barely looked up, he only hummed.
"Excuse me are you Jung Hechan?".
Confused he looked up, it had been years since the last time someone used his real name- except for his father of course. He looked at the younger boy standing in front of the counter. The boy looked almost a head shorter then him, but he was all smiles as his hand ruffled up his dyed blonde hair.
"Yeah that's me" Z slowly answered before his eyes widened, "wait Chan".
The boy nodded, "yeah this scary guy in a suit came up the door and scared the crap out of mom. She was afraid I pulled some crazy shit, turned out he was looking for me because you were looking for me. So crazy" Chan said while making drastic hand movements which made Z laugh.
In one movement he jumped over the counter to pull his brother into a hug, "you've grown so much Yoochan, you're not that little boy anymore".
"Ha ha, nice joke since you're taller then me" Chan mumbled, "but it's good to see you, I've missed you".
"I've missed you too little brother".
At that moment Z didn't want to let his little brother go, afraid that it was all a dream and he will never see him again. All he wanted was to hold Chan- who by now was softly hitting his brother to let him go.
"Ehm brother you're choking me, this will be the first and last time you ever see me" Chan said while making dramatic choking noises.
Z rolled his eyes as he let him go.
"You haven't changed a bit and yes Chan it's a good thing".
Chan smiled at him, "thanks bro, say can I have some coffee? Mom won't let me since it makes me hyper or something".
"Sorry if mom says no" Z shrugged which caused Chan to whine in order for him to give it- which wasn't working.
Just like a little kid who didn't get his way, Chan stomped his foot on the floor. "Mom even forbade me to ever come here. Still I'm not sure if it's because of dad or you".
Z ruffled the shorter boy's blonde hair.
"Because of father, they fought a lot. But it's okay now".
