"thank you come again!"

he sighed and wiped his sweats with a napkin with the cafe's logo. "hey, can you tell me what time it is?"

"eleven o'clock, gguk," he nodded. the bell rang, signalling a customer came. "good morning, sir. what would you like to have today?" the person hummed, "an iced caramel macchiato would be nice."

"do you want to add whipped cream?" he nodded and handed the cashier his money. "take away or here?" he smiled and jeongguk felt something in his stomach, "here."

the tall noiret man left the cafe and sat down on a bench outside the cafe, played his phone while listening to songs with his white earphone. few minutes later, a waiter greeted him with his drink.

"caramel macchiato with whipped cream?" he nodded. "here's your receipt, sir. enjoy your drink!" the waiter bowed and went back to the cafe.

he looked at the receipt and gasped, "wow! the clock is 11:11!" he sipped on his drink, "the gradient is so pretty. i forgot to take the picture."

he took it and continued to scroll on twitter, "excuse me?" "y-yes?"

"can i please sit across from you?" "uh, okay.., i guess," he was shocked to see the earlier cashier wanted to sit infront of him.

"are you done with your work?" he nodded, "i think i saw you before. what's your name?"

he smiled even more, "name's jeongguk. what's your name?" he asked again and he froze.

"i-i'm taehyung."

both of them were unable to talk, taehyung became more awkward to jeongguk since he confessed in which jeongguk didn't reply to him, so taehyung thought jeongguk doesn't feel the same like him.

"i thought you were gone!" taehyung smiled, "no. almost but no."

"what do you mean almost?" jeongguk asked and taehyung blushed even more. "i-i tried to commit suicide b-but at that time, my friend came over without me knowing."

taehyung cleared his throat, "so they stopped me. they literally became my roomates because they do not trust me. what kind of friend is that?" jeongguk laughed, "they care so much about you until they think you would do something stupid like that again without their vision."

"that wasn't stupid," "it is, kim taehyung."

jeongguk asked again, "then why do you discontinued your study to university?" taehyung chuckled, "i don't want to go there. it feels like hell, so i decided to stay at my hometown and work 3 jobs as a part-timer. besides, me and my parents don't have the money for me to continue my study."

taehyung sighed, "okay, i am going to my apartment and will lay down on my couch, watch peppa pig, eat my dinner, take a bath, go to sleep, have a nice dream and wake up and then--" "okay stop, you are annoying," "at least we have something in common."

"is that why you like me?" that question muted taehyung and jeongguk smirked, knowing perfectly that he won. "jeongguk, i love you but i can't believe you are this dumb to ask me a dumber question."

"just answer it, promise will not bother you again," he said with puppy eyes and taehyung couldn't resist it. "who said i do not want you to bother me?"

"ah, so you want me to bother you?" jeongguk stood up and tickled taehyung slightly, which caught people's attention.

taehyung attacked jeongguk back with bunch of punches on his stomach. he sat down quickly and wrote something on the receipt he received earlier, "here. its my number, so do call me if you need anything. text me! i need to go, bye!"

"wait, taehyung!" before jeongguk could grab his wrist, taehyung already sprinted his way to a black small car. jeongguk groaned and took a picture of the receipt, front and back.
