Renjun enters the cafe and the sight of different cakes in the showcase greets him.

The smell of coffee and vanilla was in the air, greeting the boy as well.

He walks towards the counter, being greeted by Minseol who smiled at him. Renjun could feel himself smile as well.

"Good morning, Renjun. May I take your order?" She smiles, waiting for the response of the boy.

"Good morning to you as well. I would like a strawberry latte." Renjun says, Minseol starts to type it on the cashier.

She looks at Renjun again, making sure that's his only order. Renjun notices the look on her face and lets out a chuckle.

"That's all unless you want to recommend that is." Renjun says, softly smirking.

"I would recommend something if you are willing to pay for what I will recommend." Minseol raises one brow before smiling.

Renjun blinks a couple of times, trying to process what Minseol just did which he found rather attractive. He clears his throat, looking at her.

"What would you recommend then?" Renjun asks, Minseol smiles and takes something from a cabinet beside her.

She places a small box in front of him which looked like a tiramisu.

"Strawberry latte with strawberry tiramisu is a hit these days."

Renjun drinks his latte as he finishes his project on his laptop.

The professor explaining little details that Renjun already knows, hence he didn't bother listening to it.

He opens a file that he didn't seem to recognize in his laptop. He checks and it was his class pictures from his past schools.

From kindergarten to the end of his high school.

He softly smiles, going through the pictures of him when he was younger.

His smile fades away when he sees his 2nd-grade class pictures. He looks for a certain person and saw himself standing beside her.

He looks closer and his eyes widen, finding the little girl far too familiar, similar even to one person.

"Earth to Renjun." He raises his head, seeing his professor calling him.

"What will you do after finishing your virtual art?" His professor asks,

"Save it to your designated folder." Renjun answers quickly, calming himself after the facts hitting his head and heart.

"That is correct." His professor goes back to teaching. Renjun stares at the little girl who was holding onto his jacket.

He looks at his latte, staring at the logo as Minseol pops into his head.

Questions and wonders running around her head as his stomach was feeling anxious and his heart was so ready to pound out of his chest.

The girl who he had a major crush on back in grade school was studying at the same University as him.

That's not only the big thing for he has met her again after almost 10 years.

No wonder why they found each other familiar. They both were the kids in grade school that everyone teased because they're both inseparable.

How he misses those times...

Renjun exits his classroom to see Minseol standing in front of her classroom, throwing the trash from the dustpan.

"Today's cleaner in your class?" Renjun teases, trying to annoy her.

Minseol looks at him, a glare on her face which he found rather adorable.

"I volunteered to be the cleaner today." She says, taking off her foot from the foot pedal as the lid falls to cover the bin.

"Probably for extra marks. Wanna play dodgeball later with the others?" Renjun asks her and she pouts, remembering the words from her father.

"No, my dad's gonna fetch me early." She says, her prominent pout made the boy smile.

Renjun's pout went unnoticed as she turns around and enters her classroom again. Renjun enters his respective classroom.

Renjun says an excuse to not play with his friends and heads to his usual waiting area.

He peeks his head, seeing Minseol sitting on the floor. Headphones on while her eyes were shut.

He smiles and softly places his bag across hers and sits down, watching the young princess sleep.

He takes his phone out, secretly taking a picture for blackmail. He thinks it's blackmail until he finds himself staring at it later when he gets home.

He crumples a piece of paper from his bag and throws it at her. She lifts her head, seeing Renjun.

"Why are you here?" She asks, Renjun's smile immediately disappears before she could even see it.

"I don't know, I was too lazy to play dodgeball." Renjun lies, confusing the other.

"But dodgeball is fun?" She tilts her head,

"I said I'm lazy!" He covers her hair, making Minseol laugh. She removes her headphones and moves to sit beside Renjun.

"What did you do in class today? Don't you guys have research?" She asks,

Little Renjun's heart was pounding quickly and his cheeks were evidently red. It was evident yet Minseol didn't seem to notice nor care about it.

For once, Renjun was grateful that he was smarter than her.

Renjun closes his laptop before putting it in his bag. His mind and heart debating whether he should tell Minseol if he's the boy from before.

"Injunnie~" He turns his head, seeing Donghyuck, Jaemin, and Jeno running towards him.

"Let's go to MineSoul Espresso~ I want to eat their oreo cheesecake!" Donghyuck says, waving his hands in the air.

"Wait!" Renjun says, making the boys freeze their movements and look at Renjun.

"Zhong Minseol... Nevermind. You probably just want her number." Renjun immediately puts on a mischievous smile on his face to hide his feelings.

Jaemin chuckles, nodding his head vigorously. The two boys laugh, telling Renjun to hurry before they leave the ground without him.

Jaemin shortly follows and Renjun stays for a few seconds. His hand on his bag as he remembers the class picture.

He sighs, wrapping his bag around his shoulder before following the boys.
