"Chérir."

"And that is?", asked Doyoung.

"It's a cafe, right here in San Jose. I wanna go there. Please, please.", whined Soobin.

And as we had said before, whiny Soobin is everyone's weakness.

Doyoung smiled and said, "Only if you buy me an Espresso."

Soobin's eyes lit up, "Oh my, thank you. And yhew, Espresso." He gave out a blank face.

Doyoung laughed, "Oh come on, kid. It's not that bitter. Let's go then."

They reached the cafe and Soobin practically ran inside. Doyoung parked the car, and asked him if he had ordered.

"Yes, Affogato for me, and a strong Espresso for you.", said Soobin.

Doyoung smiled.

He had grown found of the little bunny, right from when he came to Bighit. And to say, they became really close whenever Doyoung drove him to music bank. He remembers the first day he was the MC, Soobin was shaking nervously. Doyoung talked to him that day, during car drive and encouraged him. He also shouted a 'Fighting' when Soobin got out, and he was given a dimpled bunny smile in return.

He remembers Tomorrow by Together, not staying for the MAMA after-party, and drove to the nearest Baskin Robbins store.

"Umm, kids...you won a Daesang.", said Doyoung.

The others had already ran inside the store, leaving Yeonjun and Soobin behind.

Yeonjun gave an amused smile, and said, "Aaah yes, thank you, Doyoung-samchon."

Doyoung gave a confused look, while Yeonjun skidded into the store.

Soobin seemingly understood what Doyoung was prompting and gave a wry smile.

"Ning doesn't like alcohol. Or parties. So we decided one day, to ditch alcohol for him. And now, we don't really like it much."

Doyoung was a little surprised on Soobin's answer.

"Besides", Soobin continued, "icecream isn't boring. It comes in all flavours and colors." Soobin winked and turned to go inside. He suddenly stopped and gently pulled Doyoung into the store.

They spent about an hour there. And on leaving, Taehyun stuffed a big pack of icecream into Doyoung's hands and said, "For your kids," and smiled.

Soobin munched in the caramel tart and sipped the affogato.

Doyoung, on seeing this, said, "One word Soobin-ah. Diabetes."

Soobin gave a playful frown and stuck out his tongue.
"I like my coffee without sugar. My blood sugar is way too high.",said Doyoung.

Soobin was suddenly kicked a couple of years back into his memory.

Yeonjun never liked his coffee, sweet.

"Stop ruining the coffee, Soobinnie.", Yeonjun playfully scolded the other, when he dumped two full spoons of sugar into Yeonjun's coffee.

Soobin gave a disgusted expression and shoved the cup into Yeonjun's hands. He then flopped himself down on the living room couch.

Soobin had woke up on the wrong side of the bed, and was sulking too much.

Sensing this Yeonjun, plopped down Soobin's side and hugged him, nuzzling his face in Soobin's neck, blowing raspberries over the skin. He snuggled closer and pondered, "Soobinnie, what happened?"
