Well,he was always the one with the pretty face.No,the word pretty did not do him justice.He was beautiful.That was Chanyeol's first thought when he first saw Baek in class.He was beautiful and elegant. Sometimes Chanyeol found himself wanting to run his hand on that windswept hair.He was such a nice specimen to look at.

Chanyeol was worried when Baekhyun started to work at the cafe.Not because of the possible admirers.Of course not.But Baekhyun was not the most people person Chanyeol knew.Despite all the people surrounded him all the time,Baekhyun mostly kept to himself.Chanyeol thought that maybe that was just what he thought. But Baekhyun's way become more apparent when they started living together with Baekhyun preffering the indoors more than out doors.

But Chanyeol's worries were uncalled for.Baek fitted in immdiately.most of the regulars loved him.He was still fumbling on some things specially when taking orders but he was learning.Chanyeol was proud.

"God,you're gawking."Yoora hissed beside him.She rested her elbows and leaned forward from her place behind the counter,
joining Chanyeol in watching Baekhyun.

She leaned over placing her hand over her mouth"do you ever plan on,you know,"She gestured with her hands in the air."confessing?"

"...its just a crush.It'll go away."

"Chanyeol"Yoora's voice was so grave that Chanyeol did turn around,only to yelp when she pinched his arm."you dare lie to me."

"But its true."Chanyeol did not dare hope for something more.Baek would not like him,not in the way Chanyeol hoped.Perhaps
never.Baek seemed to still be very
much inlove with the guy from EXO bar.So much that he was willing to leave everything behind.So much that his anger for Chanyeol lasted for a week.

How could Chanyeol even try to compete?

"Is it,"Yoora lowered her voice,"
still about your Ex?fear of commitment or betrayal or something?"

Chanyeol winced.It was a memory he did not want to revisit as much as possible."No,its not that."

Yoora studied him,long enough for Chanyeol to feel prickly on his skin."I never knew you're such a coward."

"He has someone he likes."
Chanyeol gritted his teeth.trying to control his temper and his voice."What good does it make if I confess!?"

"Perhaps a whole better.You'll never know. Because you'll never do."Then she smirked and Chanyeol knew that look to well that he scowled before even hearing what his sister was about to say next.

"So I have a chance?"Yoora asked in that tooth-aching sweet voice that she reserved to annoy Chanyeol.

"Don't.You.dare."Chanyeol groweld and glared.The thing with Yoora and Chanyeol was that they have the same taste for toys when they were kids.music when they were teens,and,now,hobbies.But their likeness also extended to people.If Yoora find her friend beautiful,she would pair this friend to Chanyeol,Knowing full well that she was to her sister's taste.Chanyeol did so in return.

So when he saw Baek,sitting in their cafe,his heart almost stopped beating for a lot of reasons.One of them was beacause Yoora's eyes glinted in a way that told Chanyeol she found her new target.He would never allow that.

"Oh no."there was a hint of worry on Yoora's voice that made Chanyeol turned his face towards her,only to realize that she was no longer looking at him.Instead She was focused on what was happening to Baekhyun's direction.that Princess brat Kim is here to make us all miserable."

"What do you mean I can't use this table?"

"Ma'am,this table is already reserved.If you want,this table is available."Baek pointed to the table directly next to the decorated one that he arranged together with the other customer.The young man excused himself first to get ready so Baek was left to do the finishing touches.

He had just finish when this new customer dubbed as a Princess brat Kim by the other staff,was one of the regulars.Baek had never served her before because she was always requesting for Chanyeol as her server.

"And as I've said,I want this
table!"She emphasized every word she said.

As Baek learned to his short
experience,this was usually a dead hour in the cafe.This was like a breath to them before the dinner rush.So there were alot of free tables available and the store had a handful of customers at the moment.So he really did not understand why she would insist on that particular table.

"Did you hear me?I want this!You're new here,aren't you?So you probably didn't know but Im a regular."Gosh why did they hire a dumb staff here."she said to here self but loud enough for the entire cafe to hear.Baek's cheek reddened."call the manager!"

His chest constricted and it was difficult to breathe.But dispite the clammy feeling washing all over him,he set his jaw and willed himself to maintain a polite and amiable face.

"That's me,I'm the manager."
Before Baek could react,he found Yoora beside him,offering her polite smile.She put up a hand before the customer could go on her barrage of words."And I heard your concern from all over the counter."Yoora wave her hand to the direction of the counter.Baekhyun could see Chanyeol,
Xiumin,Henry with a hard stare on their face.

Yoora continued."I'm sorry ma'am but another customer reserved this one a week ago.And as you can see, it is decorated according to his liking.I see that the table next to it is not up to your liking either.How about our couches over---"

When they heard couches,Baek and Chanyeol rush to fix a table right away. Xiumin even handed them a pink napkins for decoration that might ease the customer's temper.but they all jerked their heads when they heard a high pitched voice back at Yoora's direction.
