A person landed roughly on the ground in front of the heroes as they watched their mentor walk towards them without breaking a sweat.

"Remember to never take your attention away from the enemy but you also need to be aware of the civilians around you" Namjoon kneeled beside the villain that had been causing trouble in the neighbourhood for quite some time and had been reported on multiple occasions.

"Ugh- of course you guys would be here on this day-" he couldn't end his sentence as he started to cough hysterically. The ice hero looks up at the groups in front of him and points to one of them at random.

"Make sure that he's bound securely" the group of four heroes nodded before making their way over to the villain where one of them used their ability to create rope using their hair and then passing it around so that they all could tie him up. Once Namjoon saw that they had it handled, he turned to the other groups before looking at his watch.

"Alright we'll take a short break. We'll start again in 20 minutes" the heroes were thankful since they had been at it for three hours already.

You were diligently watching from behind with Jaeho who was making sure the area around them was safe and that there were no locals about to get in any harm's way.

You also looked at the time when the Athena hero mentioned having a break and decided to go and get a drink for yourself.

"Want anything from the cafe?" You asked Jaeho who was busy telling the group who was handling the villain to take him back to the van where they will take him to the hero council offices.

"Yeah please. Caramel latte, three sugars"

"... I'm going to ask for two sugars" you stated before turning away from the sweet toothed trainer. Before making you way to the nearby cafe, you noticed Namjoon sitting on a bench while trying to massage his aching muscles.

"... want anything from the cafe?" You asked him once you reached a good enough distance. Looking up, he realised that the person talking was you and instantly let out a small smile.

"Can you get me an iced americano?"

"I don't think they sell it around this time..." it was still very much winter, meaning less people to buy cold drinks.

"Just ask, I'm sure they'll do it" rolling your eyes at the ignorant male, you decided to not bother trying to dissuade him and instead made your way to the cafe.

"I'm getting you water if they don't have any iced americanos!" You shouted at the blonde who only raised an 'okay' sign with his hands. Entering the shop, you noticed that not a lot of people were inside the quaint cafe.

"Hey. Can I have a small hot chocolate, a medium caramel latte with two sugars and an iced americano" the barista looked at you weirdly when you mentioned the cold drink before making a comment.

"We don't make iced americanos around this time of the year, sorry"

"I know, but one of the heroes over there said that I should still ask. I'll have a water instead of the iced americano then" you searched through your back pack for your purse and took it out once you found it.

"Wait, there is a hero outside? Who?" The female barista tried to look over the counter to see if it was someone she knew.

"Oh, it was Namjoon-"

"Namjoon?! You're telling me, the ice hero, is outside?!- ugh, I wish I wasn't on my shift so I could go out and ask for his autograph..." you sighed as she rambled on. You wanted your hot drink before break was over which was in 15 minutes.

"You can make him an iced americano for him and write a message for him on the side to come see you" you suggested, trying to hit two birds with one stone.

"You're right! I'll get the ice from the freezer quickly" and off she went to make your drinks. Thankful, you decided to sit down at a nearby table and wait for your drinks peacefully. That was supposed to be the plan until the sound of someone banging their knee on the table repeatedly had annoyed you.

Looking to your left, you noticed a blue haired boy wearing dark clothes and a hoodie to cover his neck and most of his head, he was the one who was making the said noise. He was also biting his nails nervously while trying to look around anxiously, like he was trying to hide from someone.

Accompanying him was a large back pack and he looked to have just come out of the cold weather with snow on his shoes. You wanted to know why he was so anxious and as you thought on, you came to the conclusion that he might be on the run.

"Caramel latte, hot chocolate and iced americano!" Jerking your head towards the familiar order, you stood up and went over to the counter to grab the drinks.

"Thanks, I'll make sure the drink gets to him" the barista smiled widely at you as she thanked you before returning to her duties. You were going to leave the cafe when you remembered about the boy who was still looking nervously and you felt a little sorry for him.

Walking over to the booth, you placed your hot chocolate in front of him which made him jump slightly in fear until he realised that you were a different person than the one he was expecting.

"This will help you feel warm"

"... I-I didn't order this..."

"I know, I'm giving it to you. By the way, if you've ran away from home or something, make sure that you're decision was the right one" you added before leaving the young boy to his hot drink and you made your way outside in to the cold once more. Quickly walking over to Jaeho who was closer to you than Namjoon, you tapped his shoulder which made him turn and smile brightly at his hot drink.

"Thanks!"

"My face is up here, you know?"

"Yeah yeah" and with that, he walked off to find the other trainers and ask them for any updates. You clicked your tongue in annoyance before feeling someone tap your arm making you turn around.

"I see that they do indeed make iced americanos?" The elemental user teased before taking the drink away from you.

"That's only because I told the worker who it was for. She even left you a message after I told her to specially make it for you after she babbled on about how much she loved you" confused, he looked at the sides of the cup to see black writing which read 'Thank you for helping our country! I love you x - Seol'. Intrigued, Namjoon looked at you to see your reaction at the message.

"... does this bother you?"

"What? That people don't make special drinks for me? Yeah?" Annoyed that you didn't answer the way he wanted you to answer, he stuffed his hand in his trouser pockets and drank from the straw angrily before walking off.

"What the- not even a thanks? Pfft, just cause he's getting fan letters, he thinks he's all that"
