[A/N]
So just real quick, I decided to Google my username to see what would pop up, and I saw an insta with it, and was like 'I don't have an insta.' And I found this^ I'm screaming! I showed my sister and she died. Please help me, I can't breathe! (Update): I have an instant now!

Jaemin had gotten a job maybe a week before school started, taking a mid-day shift that easily fit into his schedule even despite all the homework he had.

He accepted a job at SaumSaum Café, it was quaint and cozy, and Jaemin liked the neutral tones and slightly modern feel of the café. It was home-y in a way he couldn't put into words, and the pay was an added bonus.

The owners cousin had been the one to train him, even going as far as to tell him all the loopholes in the system simply because he took an instant liking to the younger.

"Three caramel frappes, two iced green tea lattes and three mango smoothies!" Seungmin called out, hitting the final buttons on the cash register as Jaemin and the other barista- MoMo -filled out he order accordingly.

Jaemin just barely got the drinks done at the same time as MoMo, each giving each other wide smiles as the groups name was called for them to pick up their drinks.

"Ooh, it's officially breaktime for me!" Seungmin clapped happily, typing several things into the cash register before grabbing a chocolate filled croissant and a plain hot tea. "See ya' later!"

Jaemin just a slight wave as MoMo disappeared into the kitchen. Jaemin did kind of wonder where Seungmin went during his breaks, he always came back happier than before he left, and Jaemin wondered what he did. He was naturally curious.

The bell above the door rang, and Jaemin didn't even bother to look up until the customer was already at the register, ordering.

"I'll take a mint chocolate double expresso frappe in the largest size that you're legally allowed to give me."

Jaemin looked up and finally recognized the customer as Jisung. "Just my luck." He thought to himself as he typed everything into the register. "The largest size we have in our in-store cups, is maybe the equivalent to a bottle of soda. However, if you pay two dollars extra, you can get put refillable thermos, which is basically the same thing as a big gulp from 7-11." Jaemin said, watching as Jisung seemed to contemplate it.

"How much is the entire total if I get the cup?"

"7.39, but you get a free drink after every ten refills." Jaemin said, watching as Jisung nodded before retrieving the money from his wallet.

"I'll regret my life decisions later." Jisung muttered to himself, causing Jaemin to smile as he counted up all the money, handing Jisung a receipt.

"It'll be done in a minute."

Jisung smiled, if only briefly. "Thanks, Jaemin."

Jaemin was a little surprised to say the least, seeing as Jisung remembered his name, since neither he nor the oher employees wore name tags.

"No problem, Jisung." He said, trying his best to act nonchalant as Jisung wondered over to an empty table, sitting down as he waited patiently for his drink.

"So, you like him or nah?"

Needless to say, Jaemin nearly screamed as MoMo suddenly appeared behind him, a cup of green tea in hand as Jaemin clutched his chest.

"MoMo, you can't just walk up on people like that." Jaemin scolds lightly, trying to his heartbeat back to normal.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. But seriously, do you like him?" She grinned even wider than before as Jaemin suddenly turned red from her teasing, "C'mon, I'm practically your sister, spill the beans!" She giggled, poking him in the ribs until he finally gave in.

"I don't not like him, but we aren't close or anything." Jaemin said, sounding a little more than exasperated by MoMo's pestering.

"Ah, young love." She cooed, ruffling his hair before grinning again. "Let me know when you ask him out!" She called over her shoulder as she shuffled back into the kitchen.

He had a feeling that between Renjun and MoMo, he wasn't going to make it through the year.
