"jeno-yah." jaemin smacked the boy's arm for attention, seeming to be in awe with something.

the hyung flinched slightly at the action,
frowning at jaemin. "what is it?"

"i wanna try their coffee!" he cutely pointed to what looked to be a new café down the streetㅡa moomin café.

"iㅡ" jeno furrowed his eyebrows with disbelief, glancing at the aesthetic café behind them. "we literally just got out of one, and now you wanna go into another?"

jaemin excitedly nodded, tugging on jeno's sleeve. "please, hyung?" his puppy-eyes were revealed, lips pouting ever-so-slightly.

"no," jeno sternly told the younger. "we can't go into anoth..." he froze when jaemin's eyes watered. stay strong, don't fall for itㅡ "f-fine," jeno defeatedly uttered out, unable to stand it.

"yes!" jaemin's somber attitude was quickly replaced. "let's go, hyung!" he dragged jeno's arm and happily bounced down the street.

fuck, jeno. why did you fall into his trap again, the boy scolded himself as jaemin hummed with pure excitement. he's just too cute...

jeno couldn't resist a smile as they neared this new moomin café; the small silver bell above them chimed when jaemin swung the glass door open.

a small gasp left his lips as he looked around, awed by the cute marshmallow-like character decorations. "it's so beautiful," he breathed out, loosening his grip on jeno's arm.

"hi! welcome to..." the young boyㅡwho seemed to be the café's baristaㅡabruptly stopped his sentence when he met gazes with jeno and jaemin. "...moomin's café," he slowly finished.

holy fuck there's cute guys here?! what the heck, i wasn't preparedㅡi look like freaking trash right now! the barista cursed to the gods for not telling him this lucky day would come.

though it was in fact quite the opposite of what he thought; the barista looked incredibly beautiful in his simple outfit. his dark brown hair was pushed slightly to the side and he had neatly tucked his white dress-shirt into his black jeans. a small apron was tied around the waist-line, perfectly sculpting out his body figure.

there was also something unique about the barista; his shoulders were quite narrow for a man'sㅡplus he looked too pretty to be one.

jeno felt jaemin squeeze his arm, both a little dazed by the mysterious boy. the younger gently dragged his hyung to the round table in the corner when he realized they were blocking the entrance way.

jeno swallowed and took a seat in front of jaemin; the two eyed one another, both seeming attacked by the barista's pure-looking visuals.

"jeno-hyung..." jaemin whispered, squirming slightly in his seat. his gaze flickered towards the barista by the cashing machine; the boy squinted his eyes and tried to read the nametag on the boy's shirt. "in...jun?"

"that's his name?" jeno followed jaemin's gaze, examining the soft-visuals of this injun.

he resembled an angelㅡ

"holy sheets, he's coming this way." jaemin panicked, immediately looking down at the marble table and pretending to be lost in thought.

jeno did the same, hearing the soft thudding of footsteps approach them.

"hello there... i'm injun, your barista for the day," the voice announced. "what would you two like to order?"

jaemin was the first to look up. he even sounds like an angel. "do you guys have americanos?"

"we do." injun hummed, hands delicately taking out a notepad and pen from his apron's pocket. he has a nice voice...

"a medium americanoㅡno water with four shots of expresso, please." jaemin tried to act casual.

injun clicked his pen and scribbled the order down. "and you?" he stared at jeno, waiting for a responce.

the boy shyly smiled. "do you guys have... chocolate milk?"

the barista raised a brow at him, not sure if he heard it correctly. you come to a café for chocolate milk? cute. "we do." injun nodded. "we have other items such as desserts, would you two like it if i brought a menu fold over for you to look at while i get your drinks?"

"that would be very much appreciated." jaemin flashed a bright smile at him.

holy shit these guys are even hotter up close. injun gulped and turned around. though i bet they're already takenㅡsuch a shame. he sighed quietly to himself. i'm going to be single for the rest of my life. amen.
