Taeyong sighed, it was his turn to lock up shop today, and he wasn't looking forward to the cleanup that came with that job. He prefer to be the first in, and first out.

"It's supposed to rain tonight, so get home safe. Bye, love ya' Yong." His cousin/manager, Dara, said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

Sure enough, it started to pour after Dara left, the rain pelting against the window just a tad bit violently. But it comforted him, and he decided to put his good barista skills to use and make a strong cup of black coffee. Afterall, it was going to be a long night for him.

He started with wiping the tables down, making sure they weren't sticky or off balance. Then he moved on to the coffee station, creamers and sugars packets were all over the place and his OCD was at an all time overload just looking at it.

He pulled them all out, placing them all back in a neat and orderly way, and with easy access too. He proceeded to wipe the entirety of it down before walking back into the kitchen area.

It was a wreck. Dishes left piled high in the sink, coffee grounds left all over the floor, and he's pretty sure there's a cookie under the fridge, but he could be wrong.

He barely takes a step towards the sink before there's a loud knock on the shops door. It startles him to say the least and he peaks out of the kitchen to see the infamous Jung-Uwu, standing at the door with his coat pulled over his head. And it from the looks of it, his car is dead.

Taeyong rushes across the café floor to unlock the door, ushering Jungwoo in before locking it back. "How did it get so bad so fast?" He mumbles, watching as trees bend under the wind.

"No idea, but my car and phone are both dead, and I feel like I am too." Jungwoo says, pulling his soaking wet coat off of him before hanging it on a chair to dry. He looks cold and distressed.

"If you've got a samsung, you can borrow my charager." Taeyong says, leaning over the counter to show the other boy the plug.

"Oh thank God!" Jungwoo says with a hint of actual excitement in his voice as he plugs his phone into the nearest socket. "Thank you." He says, turning back around to face Taeyong.

"Do you want some coffee, or maybe some hot tea?" Taeyong asks, pointing back to the assortment of teas and coffee listed.

"Black coffee sounds good right about now." Jungwoo says, tucking his hands under his arms for warmth, longing for a ceramic cup of black goodness to share it's warmth.

"Coming right up." Taeyong says, flicking on a couple of machines before he smiles. "So, is the book good?"

Jungwoo furrows his brows, trying to think of whatever the hell Taeyong is talking about, then it hits him. "Oh, that book. It's okay, I'm usually not into those types of books." Jungwoo says honestly.

Taeyong nods, pulling two cups out from the doorless cupboards. "What type of books do you usually read?" He asks, turning his attention back to Jungwoo.

And it's taking everything in Jungwoo not to just shout Kaisoo, because that's all he'd read in the prior month. "Usually I stick to fantasy, or crime novels." Which is still true, but fanfiction is still in his top three genres if that even counts. "What about you, what do you like to read?"

Taeyong's ears turn a little red as he gives a sheepish smile. "Romance or sci-fi." He says simply, the beep of the coffee maker coming to his rescue.

"Here you go."

"Thanks." Jungwoo happily accepts the cup, taking a sip immediately, burning his tongue, but still enjoying it.

Maybe tonight wasn't a total waste of time, for either of them.
