It was eight in the morning when I received a text from Baekhyun while the boys were doing work, he invited me to have breakfast with him in a cafe that was just a walking distance away from the building. I came to Taeyong for permission since I was in their care or whatever and he allowed me, not that he would say no to this face, I mean, have you seen me. My heels clicked against the tiles when I saw the elevator doors closing and I made a run for it. It had no passengers and was quiet which was what I preferred. The detective had been waiting at the lounge and he waved when he saw me.

Coffee scent lingered in the air and the cafe offered a laidback atmosphere. The tables and chairs were wooden nonetheless comfortable and visually pleasing, the lights were warm, cute bonsai plants on every table, and there were only few beings in the place. Abstract paintings of Lucifer were hanging on the walls and the name of the cafe, HELLo, were a dead giveaway that this cafe was meant for those who work for the devil.

" What would this lady like for breakfast? "

" She will have the pancake supreme with bloody shake and I'll have the hotter than hell, thanks. "

" Well, I wasn't talking to you Byun. I want her to speak. "

" Shut up and take our order, Kang. I'll be paying and don't think about flirting with her. "

" If she's single then why not? But why is she here though? Is she one of your friends? Did you bribe her? "

" I did not bribe her and she's definitely not single. Why are you so nosy and why the hell are you not working with Wendy? She could use your help with all the interrogation she's handling right now. "

" Oh, but she's the one who sent me here. She said I needed to work on socializing since our next major case requires that shit. " their conversation ended with Seulgi walking away with a playful grin on her face. Baekhyun said she was part of Red Velvet department, they work on violence against women cases and they do undercover. Seulgi came back with our meal on a tray that she balanced with three fingers and I was worried that the coffee Baekhyun ordered might spill until she effortlessly placed it on our table while spinning slowly. I was sipping my strawberry shake with a peculiar name and Baekhyun was wiping the foam from his lips when he finally spoke.

" Luna, I want to tell things that I think only you would understand. "

" Spill whatever detective, something is bothering you and I can tell. Nobody would pay for an expensive breakfast that I had without motives. "

" I'm gay and I like detective Park. "

" Okay. "

" You aren't judging me. Are you for real? "

" Of course, Baekhyun. The fuck, am I supposed to be disgusted and unfriend you because of that? "

" I'm just... expecting a different reaction from you but I am happy, and I like to apologise if you ever felt like I lead you on. "

" No! You were just being chivalrous and thanks for the trust. I promise to keep this a secret but I can't say I won't be mainstream about shipping you with detective Park. Another thing, I am absolutely single, so why did you told Seulgi otherwise? "

" Shut up, are you really this dense? Because if you are, then to hell with your singularity. A lot of beings have their eyes on you and don't get me started with names. That guy over there, he's Jeon Wonwoo, an employee from the building across and he definitely likes you. "

" I must admit he looks totally jaw dropping, and a bad boy, not my type. "

" Well, what's your type? Is it a certain Lee that I know of? "
