Jongdae hasn't been in Seoul in years probably since he graduated high school , It's been a long time and a lot of things changed . One of the things that would never be the same is his home ... it feels cold and empty and doesn't feel like home anymore ( jongdae sighed) He remembers when he got that phone call two years ago informing him that his parents died in a car accident .He wasn't really planning to comeback any time soon ( or maybe never comeback ) His parents were his only family so , he didn't see the point . He got a visit from his best friend Junmyeon last month telling him that his college is in need of a vocal teacher and asking him to take the job . He considered refusing for a moment but he didn't really have a choice. It's Junmyeon after all .
And here he is now in the house that used to be full of life once
At least he is going to do something he loves , he couldn't become a singer ( which was his dream since he was a kid ) so being able to teach music is actually so much better then doing something he is not even interested in . He is actually kinda excited for his classes especially that he would be meeting Jun and Yixing all the time.
It's been a week since he came back , his house is finally starting to feel warm again .
Jongdae is going to start his job in two days ... He settled everything and Jun had given him his schedule already.It's been a long day he got home after having lunch with his best friends . He was in his room literally doing nothing when he remembered that coffee shop he used to spend his time in , in high school.
He wonders if it's still there ( well !! Only one way to find out)
It was already 4 pm when he entered the place ( he had to walk like ... for 5 min to get there ) It's still the same as he remembers it ... He smiled scanning the place with his eyesIt wasn't really full of customers a few people here and there and most of them are alone .
Then , a voice cought his attention a ... Barista ( a gorgeous one to be honest )
" hello! Gonna order now or later sir ? " the gorgeous man infront of him asked and he swore under his breath
" Later " he finally managed to say and the other smiled
( well !! Damn!!)
"Sure " he said before turning his attention to another customer.
JongDae took a seat he has a lot of memories in that place and the fact that it's still the same doesn't really help.
He sighed before returning his gaze to the barista again .
Something about him is just breath taking ( he admits ) well he gotta stop staring and orderIt's been minutes since he orderd his drink , he was checking out his social media when the cute barista approached him with his order and JongDae couldn't stop staring ( he is being creepy he knows don't judge him !! But sometimes u gotta appreciate pieces of art like him he can't help it )
"Hope you like it !" He said with a smile before leaving him .
That night when he got home again the first thing he did was grabbing a pen and writing a song ( which was a surprise even for him ) it took him hours to finish it but it's fine as long as he is satisfied with his work . It's been a really long time since he wrote something and he knows very well how he got inspiration after all that time . When he finally decided its time to sleep he couldn't stop thinking about a gorgeous barista with feline eyes and a beautiful smile .After that day jongdae attented the coffee shop daily and with time he learnt that minseok ( who was running the place alone and the fact that he was doing very well was impressive ) Minseok was not really that older then him and it was very obvious how much he loved his work .
JongDae started working too and it's exhausting ( he admits) But the thought of attending the coffee shop whenever he is done working and seeing minseok again keeps him going (literally)
He knows he is falling so hard for him and he gotta do something about it . But he couldn't muster up the courage, He just never wanted someone that much and it scares him honestly ( rejection would break his heart )It's been two months already and in that time he got quite close to minseok cause first well !! He is a regular customer and it's just too easy to talk to him
Minseok was impressed when he told him he is a vocal teacher. Although, He doesn't really think that being a teacher is what impressed him though (it's music in general).
" I would want to hear you one day " he said calmly with a smile like usual .
" whenever you want " jongdae said returning the smile he just feels at ease whenever he is with him .
" then , do you write songs too ? " minseok asked
" Yeah I used to , I didn't write anything in a long time .well!! Until recently " jongdae admitted without making eye contact with him afraid that he would be so obvious (if he isn't already)
" I see ... " minseok said after a while " so u got a little source of inspiration after coming back " he continued with a smirk and jongdae blushed ( f blushed !! Oh God he is so whipped )
" Yeah ... kinda " he muttered under his breath
" interesting " minseok said and left to serve a new customer.- After another 5 months -
JongDae has to do something about it ( he knows ) he had been so painfully obvious ( I think staring at minseok all the time like he is the most beautiful human being on earth says it all) But he gotta confess .
At least if minseok is not interested ( which he very much doubts ) anyway at least then he would stop expecting things. Also he has this perfect plan he was thinking about for weeks so maybe it's time .He arrived at the coffee shop after work like every other day and since the place was empty even before dinner time that day minseok decided to close it earlier. JongDae thought it is the perfect time for his plan so he invited him to his house .
( he was relieved when minseok accepted though ) After they had dinner and chatting for a while jongdae showed him his music room which minseok liked so much if the wide smile on his face says something." So... here you write your songs huh?" He asked scanning the place with his eyes " wonderful "
" well !! I have been spending hours in here recently, thanks to someone " jongdae said and that must be cought minseok off guard " hm that someone must be very lucky then " he said eyes never leaving jongdae's
" I think it depends on him , if he's gonna like what he inspired me to write or not " jongdae said with a smile ( voice shaky) walking towards the piano .
He started playing the song he wrote when he saw minseok for the very first time and Minseok took a seat beside him and watched him in silence .JongDae performed with all he had . Playing piano and singing the song with so much emotions, Minseok's presence made the whole thing so overwhelming. He ended the song with a high note finally opening his eyes after closing them the whole time he was singing ,to find minseok crying .
" omgggg minseok is everything okkkk ?"
" Yeah ... yeah ... i'm fine " he said taking a moment to breath then continuing " that was just so ... Beautiful " he finished with a wide smile and jongdae never thought that hearing minseok praising him would have that effect on him .
" I'm glad u liked it , after all it's ... yours " jongdae confessed and minseok's eyes widened in surprise ( jongdae was starting to freak out for a moment ) " You have a way with words don't you " minseok smirked but couldn't really hide that his cheeks were turning red . " I'm trying my best " jongdae got closer to him looking into his eyes " it's quite hard to impress you " he continued never breaking eye contact .
" well !! I can't write songs so can I be yours instead " minseok said and jongdae smiled genuinely " and now who has a way with words " .
