Behind the Counter || MINSUNG

What he didn't imagine was the painfully slow business that left him wiping the same spotless counters every day-until *he* walked in. Lee Minho, with his sharp jawline, impossibly stylish outfits, and an Americano with extra cream in hand, becomes Han's most intriguing (and infuriating) regular. What starts as casual teasing over coffee orders turns into something far more complicated when Minho's sly remarks and lingering gazes begin to blur the line between customer and something more. Han's world behind the counter is about to heat up-one cup at a time.Complete

Joshua finds himself sitting in Starbucks, in the hustle and bustle of yet another foreign city, caught in the rainy year end. The commercialization of the season should have left him jaded, but he sees it as part of the Christmas beauty. Yet the noise and people are not enough to distract him from a ridiculously good looking boy sitting diagonally across from him at the long communal table. Perhaps, Christmas miracles do really exist after all. (AN: I used to write ffs on another site, under another band. So if the story seems similar, don't lose your marbles. It's still me. If no one else stole my work, that is. Plus, this is my first here on this site, just because I miss writing and sharing stories. Enjoy, I hope.)Complete
