On his way back, he saw a shop that is a few blocks away from his apartment.

Is this new? 'café con lirios' he reads the sign.

'haven't heard of it.'

It was a nice looking shop with flowers decorating the front of the shop.

He was curious so he walked forward to enter the shop.

There are tables outside to maybe take advantage of the cool air of spring. There are stepping stones of some sort for the grass won't be stepped on and a path to the glassed coffee shop.

The owner must be really rich huh?

There's also a white fence that surrounds the shop with white lilies planted near them. The flowers look healthy though.

When he opened the glass door to the shop, smell of caffeine instantly filled his nostrils. But the problem is, it was too strong.

"Hey you! You're the new guy right? Can you even make coffee?" the manager- looking-guy scolds the man whose eyes are fixates on the floor.

The manager brought the coffee to his mouth the 2nd time and again an unexplainable face have been plastered in his face.

"I don't know how you made this piece of shit right here, but i want you out of this shop already." said the guy to the newly hired employee.

The employee infront of him pleads to the extent he got on his knees.

"But manager-hyunggg~" he heard

Taeil being the kindhearted person he is, helped the guy stand up.

'Wait-- he's quite familiar. '

A thought suddenly passed by his mind. Watermelon.

'Oh i remember him now! He's mork- marke-- '

"My name's mark. I can see the way your face scrunched up like this." mark copies him looking like a fool.

'how did he know that i've been struggling with his name. am i that transparent or *gasp* can he re--'

"No, I cannot read minds." he said matter-of-factly.

"Oh okay." taeil sighed. He then took a good look around the inside of the shop.

The interior of the cafe is superb and has a sort of cool and romantic ambience, maybe its because of the flowers. There are many paintings as well

The cafe is big so its not that packed (it also has a second floor dammit) but he can see that most of people here come by pairs, by couples.

Wish I'd bring someone here too.

Then something popped up in his mind.

Of course Eri ! Why didn't he think of her in the first place?

Mark passed by him,looking all sad going to the working area of the barristas.

But Mark looked back at taeil and hesitates to ask a question.

Taeil saw it and then looked at him questionly.

"Uh do you by chance, know how to make coffee? Please teach me hyung! Unfortunately, I was the first one they hired to make coffee but I suck on it. If isn't just to my sunsh--" mark mumbles continuosly but taeil interrupted with his answer.

"I know the basics on how, but I'll try" taeil said to younger. Mark's face brightened at the answer and immediately hugged his new-found hyung.
