Jaemin rushes his way to Renjun's classroom, slightly panicking after the deal he made with the girl he likes.
He proceeds to see Renjun exiting his classroom, his eyes focused on the phone on his hand. Jaemin ran to his side, shouting his name and made him flinch.
"Wha- why are you in such a hurry?" Renjun asks, examining the look Jaemin has on his face.
"I need to know how to make macarons, please help me." Jaemin says, his tone was rather panicked and quick. Renjun could barely understand what he was saying.
"Macarons? Why are you asking me for help? I don't bake-"
"Please, Renjun!!" Jaemin clasps his hands together, pleading for the older to help him.
Renjun was about to reject his plead again until someone pops into his mind. He bites his lip, hesitating if he should ask the busy girl.
He sighs, not wanting to believe what he was about to do. He grabs Jaemin's hand before he starts to drag the boy away.
"I know someone who could help."
◇─◇
The two boys enter the cafe. There weren't many people inside. It is noon and almost everyone is studying or already working.
Renjun looks over at the cashier, seeing the boy he saw last time working.
"What are we doing here, Jun? I asked for help, this is no time for cafes!" Jaemin panics once again, he hears Renjun sigh as they walk towards the cashier.
"Hello, is Minseol here?" Renjun asks the boy in Mandarin.
"Can I ask why you want to see her?" The boy replied in Mandarin as well.
"We're her friends and this boy here-" he drags Jaemin to stand on his side, "Needs help on how to bake."
The boy looked at the two boys, suspicions raising in his head but be eventually called his sister.
Minseol peeks her head from the door, smiling widely when she sees Renjun and Jaemin.
She exits the kitchen, walking over to the two boys.
"Can I help you?" She asks, Renjun looks at Jaemin who still has a panicked look.
"This kid needs help with making macarons."
◇─◇
Renjun sees the sun starting to set before he hears Jaemin whine at the difficulty of making macarons.
He looks over at Jaemin who was trying to pipe the batter on top of the sheet to make the shell.
Jaemin had batter on his white apron and even on his cheeks. Renjun chuckles, seeing Jaemin mess up one shell.
"That's okay, just continue." Minseol says, her pure voice made Renjun smile.
Renjun taps the mold on the table to let the air bubbles out from the batter. He then puts it on the side and continues on the other batch of cupcakes he was making.
"That looks good, Injun." She smiles, eyeing the first batch Renjun has made.
Renjun turns red, continuing on his cupcakes.
"I give up- I don't wanna do this anymore." Jaemin puts down the piping bag after filing all the circles on the sheet.
Minseol looks closely at the shells Jaemin has piped onto the sheet. She sees a few that surpassed the 2nd circle but they all look good.
"This is better than your 1st and 2nd try, Jaemin. How about coming back tomorrow to train your skills again?" Minseol asks, a soft smile on her face.
Jaemin sighs and a soft smile creeps on his face. He nods, proceeding to remove his apron.
"I'll go ahead and rest these, and bake them tomorrow morning. You should go home, I heard you have a morning period tomorrow." Minseol says,
Jaemin stretches his arms upwards, thanking Minseol before leaving the kitchen. He runs back to his house, remembering all his homework.
Minseol looks at Renjun who was working hard pouring the cupcake batter in its mold.
"Who are you going to impress with those cupcakes?" Minseol asks, smiling.
Renjun looks up from his cupcakes and looks at Minseol.
She looked rather stunning again today.
Soft makeup and her pink-tinted lips tempted Renjun again. He shakes his head, looking away to hide his flustered face.
"Uhm- no one actually. I just want to make cupcakes." He finishes, putting to batter on the side and taps the mold on the table.
He grabs both tries and inserts them in the preheated oven. He closes the lid before sighing in relief.
He turns around and sees Minseol putting Jaemin's macarons on the side for resting.
He smiles, putting all the dirty utensils in the sink.
"What time does the cafe normally close?" Renjun asks, pouring water to avoid stickiness on the dirty utensils.
"We normally close at 9 pm." Minseol answers, wiping the dirty counter with a pink cloth they have.
Renjun turns off the faucet before looking at Minseol again. He walks closer to her, patting her head so suddenly.
Minseol looks up at Renjun, confusion written all over in her face. Renjun softly smiles, caressing her hair this time.
Minseol gulps the lump formed in her throat, she looks away to hide the shyness on her face.
Renjun takes his hand back, processing to wash the dirty utensils.
Minseol has sworn she died already from his delicate touch. Her fragile heart was ready to jump out of her chest and get showered with Renjun's love.
She continues to wipe the dirty counter, thinking about what she could possibly do with her love for Renjun.
She looks at Renjun, getting carried away by the attractive features of Huang Renjun.
Oh, how she wishes no other girls would fall in love with him. How she wishes Renjun could be hers whilst she belongs to him.
Renjun was internally freaking out about what he just did. His heartbeat could possibly be heard if they are closer.
If only he has the courage to actually confess his love, adoration, and admiration for her.
