for as long as he can remember, doyoung had been coming to the paradise café since it had been opened. each and every time he went he was always greeted with the same faces- mornings it was, his friend and owner of the shop, yuta and a chinese boy named yang yang who would set up the shop for an hour before school and then leave. afternoons were only yuta. and when he comes during late nights he's always greeted with renjun, another chinese boy, and his assistant, donghyuk's, boyfriend mark.
so imagine his surprise when he came into his favorite coffee shop at 1:30 PM to grab a late lunch, expecting to see his friend, and seeing a new, extremely cute, face..
"hello, welcome to paradise café! what would you like?" the very cute cashier asked.
doyoung was still trying to comprehend the fact that there was a new hire, on top of that, a very attractive one, when yuta came out of the back room.
"oh doyoung! this is kim jungwoo, the new afternoon hire. jungwoo this is my friend kim doyoung. he's the CEO of the company across the street, he also comes in really often to get coffee and food so consider him a regular." yuta introduced the two boys who were still maintaining their eye contact.
"h-hi! i'm jungwoo" he mentally cursed at himself for stuttering and re-introducing himself.
but it also caused doyoung to chuckle a little bit, which caught yuta off guard but ending up with a smirk.
"hello jungwoo. i'm doyoung and i like your smile" he smiled at the sight of jungwoo's cheeks heating up, but immediately stopped when he noticed yuta's smirk.
"what would you like to order?"

doyoung left the shop with a smile nobody had seen in what felt like forever.
it felt good smiling. it felt good feeling light for once. he just felt good.
