Cousins Tay and Mild decide to open Thailand's first ever BL coffee shop taking their inspiration from similar coffee shops they saw on a year long stay in Japan. They already have the shop and permission to open but there are a few problems to solv...
Tay had been in touch with all the successful candidates except New. He had his number but for some reason he struggled with actually dialing it. All the other employees had been easy, they were all either grateful to be given the job or slightly upset to miss out on the opportunity but with New what was he supposed to say. I know you lied, but you're still working for me? Or so you're here because my Por thinks I'm incapable of caring for Mild and myself? This was so difficult. He reread the messages between him and his Por. He'd refused to speak in person or even over the phone because he knew he might say something he regretted.
As well as apologising Por had agreed to pretty much all of Tay's conditions so long as Tay promised to keep New with him and Mild. He wanted to hire someone else so he and Mild would have a guard each but Tay told him to take that up with Mild because he was barely ok with dealing with one goon. Por agreed that New would be in the shop full time with the two of them. It was mainly security being in public his Por was worried about as they had security at home and a driver who also took them where ever they needed to go.
New had been told his duties were to act as Mild and Tay's employee in the cafe while actually being their bodyguard the whole time. Tay would feel sorry for the guys work load if he didn't know how well Por's staff were paid. So now Tay was wondering did he even have to call New? He knew his Por would have formalised the contract with New but he still had to tell him about the paiting up and acting lessons right? In the end Tay decided to just text New, and try to calm the fuck down.

Tay could feel the steam coming from his ears but decided to be the bigger man and just ignore any replies New may send. He refused to let this guy get under his skin when they had so much to do.
New sat at home rereading the messages between him and Tay. Did he have to be so stuck up? Typical spoiled rich kid. He hoped Mild wouldn't be this bad but he wasn't holding out much hope, they were related after all. If Mr Vihokratana wasn't paying him so well there is no way he'd be caught dead working in a cafe for a brat like Tay. He sighed and threw himself on the bed reminding himself that he this was just another job and the young master would probably get bored of actually working soon. Then he would be moved on to a new assignment and could forget all about that douche bag.
Sunday came and all applicants arrived at the cafe. They were welcomed by Mild who brought them all through to the staff room in the back. It wasn't massive but was certainly spacious enough for all of them to sit comfortably. Off, Mild and Tay had discussed the options available and had agreed to see what the chemistry was like between the guys before they made any formal decisions. Saint and Zee were already chatting outside when they were let in and had sat down close to each other immediately once inside. Their couple was looking pretty promising already. New and Gun sat a bit far apart looking awkwardly between each other. The rest of the couples wouldn't be so easy.
"I'm very glad to welcome you to our family." Mild began starting the meeting. "This is the first time the 3 if us have ever attempted anything like this so thank you for coming on this journey with us." Everyone nodded and smiled, Mild could always win people over. That's why she was doing most of the speaking today, Tay seemed to be too forceful or stuck up until you got to know what a softy he was and Off either joked too much or was too grumpy depending on how much sleep he'd had. They both thanked their lucky stars for Mild. She could be savage when she needed to be and never took shit from anyone but she was great at first impressions and making people like her.
"So today we'll be figuring out who will be acting with who and confirming all aspects of your contracts. Before I continue I want to see if anyone had any questions for the three of us?" She paused looking around the room. Gun raised his hand. "Yes Gun?" Mild said smiling. Off was about to laugh his ass off, who put their hand up to ask a question? Was this school or something? What a silly cute guy, he thought to himself. "I know you might cover this later but is it just us 4 who will be paired or will P'Off and P'Tay be paired too?"
No one missed how Gun's eyes flitted to Off when he asked that question, except Off apparently "Hey shorty," Off said "first you don't have to raise your hand to ask questions and secondly Tay is like a brother to me so you're pretty much talking about faking incest right there..." Gun's jaw dropped hearing off speak and he began to splutter thinking of what to say to explain himself. "Off you're an idiot." Mild butted in and slapped Off's arm before Gun could speak again. "Yes Gun, off and Tay will be working with you guys of course, they'll be in the cafe with you so it would be unfair of us to ask you to do anything they wouldn't do. But as Off clumsily said they won't be paired together." She concluded leaving Off feeling like a total idiot.
They continued asking and answering questions for what seemed like an eternity with Tay even ordering everyone food when they realised the "meeting" had gone on for 4 hours. Although it was more like a getting to know each other session more than anything else. At the end of the 5 hours Mild was almost certain that Zee and Saint would be a real life couple by the end of the month as well as one of the cafes successful BL couples. Off had found an opportunity to apologise to Gun for his earlier stupid comment and Gun had forgiven easily with a blush and a smile.
In Mild's opinion the other four men could easily be sorted in to couples. Off and Gun in one and New and Tay in the other but obviously her kinda brothers had to be awkward about everything keeping them all chatting endlessly. In the end Saint and Zee had signed their contract with Mild and had left happily leaving just the five of them. In the end Mild decided to use reverse psychology on those idiots. "Look it's almost 7pm and we seem to be talking in circles. I'm sure New and Gun have places to be so let's just say that Gun will be paired with Tay and New with Off." She said sitting back with a sigh.
3 out of the 4 guys shouted "No!" with the forth's, (New's) eyebrows shooting up. Mild smirked, gosh she was good, she thought to herself. She listened to the 4 men fumble over what to say before fake sighing and speaking. "Fine it's Off and Gun and Tay and New!" She said. "Any questions or issues?" She said in a tone which clearly said there'd better not be. All 4 men shook their heads. "Great!" Mild said with a smile. "Off get Gun to sign his contract and Tay you can deal with New, while I start the cleaning." She finished walking away. "Is she always so scary?" She heard behind her and couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped her as Tay and Off answered "Yes!" In unison.
