"Sir, are you staying here? If you do, please ask for an extra blanket at the counter," that nurse said before she left. I just nodded at her and made my way to the counter.

When I walked back in, my Jeno was still awake. "Uh, blondie. What was your name again?" "Jaemin. Na Jaemin. Everyone calls me Nana though."

"Oh. Okay, so you said that you are my boyfriend right? How long are we together and who asked first?" His face is full of excitement but with a hint of curiosity.

"Well, we are friends for like three months and then just like, two days ago you asked me out. And after the date, you drove me home but I fell asleep and I forgot to tell you my address so you carry me in your house. The next day, I woke up and you explained why I was there and you, with no hesitance said I was heavy and then I chased you downstairs and somehow I was on top of you. So we were like, very awkward and then when we were eating, you suddenly asked if I would be your boyfriend and I kissed you and said yes."

"That was quite interesting and such a 'me' thing to do. Well, Nana. I may have a hard time trying to remember that bit. Now, I wanna sleep. Goodnight,"

"Goodnight," I sighed. My body laid on the couch next to him. "Nana. Can you sleep on here? I'm scared,"

"Oh boy, I thought you already slept. Does it even fit?" He just nodded. I grabbed my blanket and hopped onto the bed. "Boy, I thought you said it'll fit,"

"Well, the closer we are, the better it is right?" He chuckled. I sighed while looking down at him. How ungrateful of his parents to try making him a hetero.

-*-

"Hello, Lee Jeno? I'm going to change your bandage- Oh! I'm sorry. Did I interrupt anything?"
The nurse's face turned red.

"Oh, shit. Sorry, I'll get into the bathroom," I made my way inside. God, how embarrassing was it? I was changing my pants god damn it.

I peeked out and made sure it was safe. "Ready to go back home, dino boy?" "Of course I am,"

I texted Renjun to pick us up and went to the counter to check out. The nurse from earlier was hiding her face and yeah, who wouldn't.

Jeno looked totally blank and I wasn't surprised. We waited for a while and there it is. A white Tesla. "Come on, He's here," I exclaimed while helping Jeno to walk.

"Next stop, Nana's sanctuary,"

-*-

"Oh, I'm sorry. This place is kinda a mess right now. Have a seat first," I said to him. His eyes trailed down the walls and the frames.

"Who's that?" His finger pointed up a picture. It was a portrait of me and my mother. "Oh, that was my mom," "was? My deepest condolences to her."

"How was her?" He said while sitting on the couch. "Well, just like everyone else. She supported me on everything but, one day I came out to her and she didn't take it well. Asked me to pack up and leave the house, so I did. Two years later my sister called me telling that her plane to Japan crashed."

"I guess being in the community is just hard, right? But where is your father?" His eyes gazed deep into mine. "He left my family for a man. I guess that's what made my mom homophobic. But, whatever. I have you now and that is the best thing that could happen to me."

Just as our lips were to touch, someone interrupted us, "I'm sorry, but my name is Huang Renjun and I don't know what I am doing here.

"Oh, I forgot you existed," "and someone called your phone. She said she's your sister and tomorrow is the funeral. I'll drive you there. Oh, and if you remember this, you are a manager of Seoul's most underrated cafe because you have no-jam."

"Haneul? I thought she had forgotten about me. And yeah I do remember that." He said before kissing me. "And what was that for?"

"Nothing. You are just too cute, blondie,"

"Guys, I'm still here," Renjun made the puppy eye. "okay, fine. How's you and Yangyang?"

"He comes regularly and always trying to chat with me. Yesterday, he came twice and said that 'the weather is nice' when clearly it was raining," he smiled.

"Yangyang? What's that? Who's he?" Jeno asked with a lost face. I giggled and explained everything. Well, he doesn't understand it but I'm not mad.

-*-

3rd person pov
All of the staffs of the cafe is back in action. Well, Jeno had to be the cashier because he doesn't remember the recipes but who cares, right?

The bell chimes, signing that a customer had walked in. Renjun noticed who it was and started to blush.

"Oh, you're the cashier today? Can I get my usual?" Jeno went blank. What is this kid's usual- "sure, Yangyang! Jeno, type in espresso with extra whipping cream and less sugar with ice. Your order will be served in a jiffy,"

"That's sure a long time but whatever," he paid for his coffee and sat to his 'reserved' seat which was next to the counter and the window.

"So that is Yangyang? He looks cool and I've never seen him before," Jeno stared at him before the bell chimes again.

It was Mark and of course, Jeno didn't know who it was. "I'll get my usual order, please," Jeno gulped and hoped someone would save him. Luckily, Haechan did.

"Sure, sweetie. Jeno, type in mocha frappuccino with no cream. And that is my boyfriend. We went on a date last night, and he is Mark."

"Oh," Jeno sighed. "It's okay, honey. Look! All of us are together and guess what? We should have an eight-person date!" Jaemin shouted. He closed his mouth after receiving stares from other people.

"THAT WOULD BE GREAT!" all the dreamies shouted in excitement.

Mark and Yangyang peeked to the coffee station and looked with questioning eyes.

-*-

"Come on, you should ask Yangyang. It would be so good," the store is about to close but they still don't have a couple. "Okay, breathe in, out,"

"Hi," "Hɪ ʀᴇɴᴊᴜɴ," Yangyang said. Oh boy, here it comes. "Will you be my boyfriend and go on an eight-person date this weekend?" Renjun tried to hide his blush with his shirt's paw.

"YES! AND YES! OMG FINALLY, I LOVE YOU RENJUN GEGE!"
"No, call me sweetheart instead,"

"EW GROSS WHY ARE THEY BEING SO DISGUSTING EW," Haechan exaggerated the whole scene. Everyone laughed hard. Now, we have Mark and haechan not forgetting Renjun and Yangyang.

This journey will be interesting.
