Can you do something sci fi with any member you’d like?
this idea struck me when i was reading a webtoon :) tq for requesting - admin cinnamon roll
a prince in a planet where his species take after features of human but with with elf-like ears and silvery hair that sparkles under the moonlight
however, for those with royal blood, their eyes are born with a dusting of gold in their irises that even in the radiant starlight, their eyes seem to be brighter
the planet itself is peaceful, no war in the last few centuries and the kingdom always managed to sort out any disputes before it gets bigger
in other words, it’s boring to minghao, who is an adventurer of sort
since young, he had been reading stories that talk about seeking for a hidden treasure or going through the depths of earth for bounty hunting
these books aren’t available in his planet ofc, they were given to him by a visitor from earth during his childhood and since then, he had picked up some stuff on humans here & there
unfortunately, even with that knowledge, he’s only stuck at the palace, gazing at the skies while playing his space dog, eight
while he would love to take on the offer of  his friend, jun, who has his own spaceship and is blacksmith for space hunters,,,,, he can’t
as the heir, he isn’t allowed to leave the planet since his parents are the ones meeting other diplomats out of space and they need someone in the throne in case of any intruders
which is,,,, basically what you’re addressed
you’re a scientist from earth, who is interested in time-travelling and built a time machine in your lab
however, something went terribly wrong with it
instead of bringing you to the future or past, it brought you to,,, an alternative reality was what you would like to call it
you had immediately fainted after seeing what was in front of you .... the grey skyscrapers that looked as if they were made of pure metal, the clothing donned seemed so unusual, as if you were on a sci-fi movie set
“prince minghao! a specimen called a human has been found in our planet!!”
you woke up to a room decorated in purple and silver, with a crowd surrounding you
they were mumbling, but you couldn’t understand a single word  
“hey.”
“you speak my language?”
the man infront of you chuckled and you couldn’t help but marveled at how pretty his eyes were
they looked as if constellations connected and for a moment, you couldn’t take your gaze off
“just a little bit, but my name is minghao. yours?”
upon hearing yours, he had to smile, because he hadn’t heard of such a unique name before and he was already interested in knowing how you ended up here
to think he would be meeting humans who had secluded themselves from the rest of the galaxy
it wasn’t a surprise that the people in his planet had never of your kind before
but ,,,, to think they were this pretty too
after that, he had shooed everyone in the room and told you more about this planet that you were in
if anything, minghao was fascinated by your story and his eyes gleamed even more when you told him about your machine
that was how the rest of the week went by, with you telling him how earth worked and him explaining the resources you could use to make your machine to go back
it was cute seeing someone so interested and invested in your project since back in earth, people always told you that you were wasting your time
but here he was, telling you he did use it to be the next indiana jones in earth and you had to stifle a giggle
also because in his planet, his people were known for their straightforwardness
he straight up asked you if everyone else on earth was as pretty as you ,,,  oh god did you blush and had to explain that nope you weren’t sick
without knowing, he had gravitated towards your presence and never left you
even if there was a machine requested by minghao made for so you could have your words translated to their language
you preferred having him by your side, translating your words as his voice fluttered in space and sounded like honey to you
every night after he was done with royal duties, he did sit next to you in your room’s balcony as you lament how you wished to go back and see your pet, your best friend
he did listen and looked at you, wishing he could quickly put back that pretty smile on your face
both of you never realized how important you had became for one another
it didn’t too long for your machine to be and on the day before you were supposed to left
“i wish i could tell you not to go & stay by my side.”
he had hugged you, his velvet robes cascading around both of you and his ears sunk down, a sign when they’re emotional, which is a form of weakness but only shown to loved ones
you couldn’t help it, your heart was calling out for this iridescent boy
risk or whatnot, you wished could bring him to the adventure of his lifetime
“then why not join me for an adventure, hao?”
it was hard to resist when he knew the odds but he couldn’t help it as he smiled and kissed you
the next morning, the citizens gathered as they bid farewell to their royal prince
you grasped his hand and counted down ... 3....2.....1
“minghao??? where are you?”
unlike what you pictured, the person of all your sweet dreams wasn’t by your side when you reached your lab
when you went home that night, you had cried on your couch
losing someone was never this painful because you knew you never truly lost him
even if he didn’t exist in your current dimension, you will never forget those eyes of his
on the other side of the galaxy, minghao sighed as he touched the glass
he already knew this was gonna happen because while you were on different planets, you belonged in the past and he, in the future
he did hate to see you cry since the days with you ... was already an adventure of it's own
“we are parallel lines that are never meant to intersect. sometimes glitches can happen but that doesn't mean they can’t be fixed.”

coffeeshop au! Jeonghan
Tumblr media
Holding the heavenly cup of coffee in his hand, Jeonghan took a deep breath and sighed in relief. Finally! His first cup of coffee for the week! Jeonghan never thought he’d be able to withstand even 1 day without coffee before – yet here he was. He couldn’t believe that he promised his mom that he would try to cut caffeine down to once a week because “you have to take care of your health! Too much caffeine isn’t good for you!” Jeonghan rolled his eyes. At least this cup looks good.
Fixing his coat, he wrapped his fingers around the piping-hot cup and mentally prepared himself to brave the pouring rain right outside the coffeeshop. Wet socks, wet hair, wet weather, yet nothing could have dampened his heightened spirits from just holding a cup of his favourite coffee in hand.
Well- That is- until he pulls the door open to have someone crash into him. You.
Similar to Jeonghan, you’d thought that a cup of mocha would finally brighten up your gloomy day as well. You never really liked the rain, nevertheless days like this when you woke up to the sound of rain pitter-pattering against your window, mocking at how you had to brave the rain to walk to the bus stop, THEN squeeze with a bus-load of wet, sweaty people amongst slippery floors and wet shoes. So, when class ended in the evening with no sign of the rain relenting, you decided to make a run for the coffeeshop opposite campus for a cup of happiness.
But you weren’t looking when you dashed into the coffeeshop.
Staring at the spilt coffee on the floor in front of you, you were stunned.
Even more so when you slowly tilted your head to look up at the pristine beige coat hung on a lean figure, stained with a splotch of black coffee. You grimaced.
Of course, it had to be that way. One more reason for hating rainy days, you thought, rubbing your knees in pain.
Sweeping back your rain-matted hair, you then shot up from your position on the floor and bowed deeply to the person in front of you.
“I am so sorry, sir! I was rushing to get into the coffeeshop because it was raining and I wasn’t looking at where I was going so I accidentally crashed into you and knocked your coffee over I am so sorry-“
Having heard nothing in response, you slowly straightened your body to look him in the eye.
“Sir…?”
Jeonghan stared at the floor in disbelief.
The only coffee for the week.
Gone. Spilt. On the ground.
He ruffled his hair in frustration. He was fuming.
“Say, do you not have eyes-“ Jeonghan snapped, finally shifting his gaze from his precious spilt coffee on the ground to the culprit in front of him.
But he was shocked speechless.
No longer by how he lost his only precious shot of caffeine for the week, but by the pair of eyes looking straight into his own inquisitively.
These were the most beautiful pair of eyes he’d ever seen in his life.
Mentally shaking himself out of his stupor, Jeonghan then cleared his throat.
“Well- Miss- I’ll have you know that that was my only cup of coffee for the week that you just knocked down,” Jeonghan frowned.
“I’m so sorry-“
“No, just-“
“I’m so so so sorry you have no idea how sorry I am-“
“Yeah, okay-“
“How about I get you a fresh cup of coffee?” You blurted out. You were going to grab yourself a cup anyway.
Jeonghan cheered internally. Mission accomplished!
“I want a three-quarters full cup of dark roasted arabica beans with soy milk, extra hot, weak,” Jeonghan instructed, tucking a strand of loose hair behind his ears then bringing a hand up to his face, coughing to disguise the small curl at the edges of his mouth.
You beamed. “Sure thing! I know the barista here, so I might be able to get us a discount! Not that I was going to make you pay for your coffee, that is,” you stuttered.
 “Well, I don’t think we should be standing here anymore because we’re blocking people,” Jeonghan suggested, then gestured towards a table by the window.
“How about you order the drinks, then I’ll book us a place to sit?”

Coffee Shop! Joshua
Tumblr media
after a horrible first paper that kicked off your finals season, you headed to your regualr coffee shop to continue studying after the closing hours of your college library
“17 Celcius” was the place you fondly regarded as your second home since you spent most of your time inside
especially when you needed a space to escape from your noisy rommates in the cramp dorm you were staying
you usually went there just before your 8am classes to receive your morning dose of caffeine or for any project discussions, but it was probably a first for you to arrive at this hour
you couldn’t really blame yourself because every time exams was round the corner, you automatically became a zombie by staying up all night studying and crashed in the afternoon while powering your night with additional zcoffee
while it was not unusual for you stay up late, your roomates had an issue since you were the one the kind who acted up as they studied,
which was sort of creepy to listen to when someone was trying to sleep so they ‘unofficially’ kicked you out of the dorm unless you were actually back to, you know, sleep
luckily for you, this place was opened 24 hours with the owner’s intention to attract  college students who had a messed up sleeping schedule
or even to those who had their hearts broken at an odd hour and needed some warm hot chocolate to mend their soul
it was the cafè’s one and only policy to serve any customer without any questions asked regardless of the time and their appearance
having a sweeter tooth, you usually leaned toward drinks such as a caramel latte and a mocha
however, you already had a shitty enough day from pretty much flunking your test despite how much you had studied the week before and the stress from seemingly not being prepared enough for your other subjects
with those thoughts constantly running through your mind, you had forgotten to grab your wallet you had left on the library table
you could only pray hard that you could still find it in the morning since it was already closed by the time you remembered
you only had a few loose change to spare after digging around your tote bag but thankfully, it accumulated enough to get you the cheapest beverage on the menu - a black coffee
butter drinks weren’t exactly your favourite but you had to suck it up
you desperately needed that fix of caffeine to continue studying or you would have collapsed from fatigue in no given time
furthermore, the environment from the cafe was much better than the silent library
with the occasional sound from the coffee beans being grounded and roasted made it lively even with the lack of customers
you barely paid attention to the cash register as you dropped the amount to the cashier’s hands and muttered out your name
exhaustation was evident on your face and your mind was genuinely worn out from the amount of things you had to memorize for your upcoming tests
whoever was in the college exam board, you hated them with your entire heart, mind, body and soul
geez who in their right mind thought it would he a great idea to schedule all your exams back to back?!?!
pulling an all nighter for the last few days  was seriously driving you mad and you felt that you couldn’t even hold a proper conversation without spitting out some theory in between
to add on to your frustration, none of yourlecturers  were being helpful whenever you took the liberty to email them questions
what came back to you was usually “check the previous slides” or “I’m taking a break, contact me again at xxxx”
you couldn’t wait for finals to be over so you could be a normal, functioning human being again
a notification from your phone caught your attention and by the time you skimmed the first few lines, you were on the verge of a mental breakdown
you were close to hyperventilating as your palms become clammy
it was an email from the college board to notify all full scholarship holders that should they not reach the minimum requirements of 3.5 GPA for finals, their scholarship will immediately be revoked
you really didn’t need to be reminded by this constant nightmare and it felt as if your demons were closing in one b-
“Here’s your order. Enjoy!”
for a moment you panicked since it was accustomed for the barista to call your name and for you to collect your order, yet here this person was bringing it all the way to your secluded corner where your tower of lecture notes seemed to be covering your frame
“i didn’t order any of this???? Wasn’t it supposed to be a black coffee?”
glancing downwards, a chocolate chip cookie deocrated your table along with a drink that was clearly too milky to be a black coffee
also definitely more than $3 you paid for
you begin panicking when you looked up at the barista because were you THAT sleep deprevied that you somehow gave the wrong order??
your pupils dilated even more when your line of vision moved upwards, immediately distracted by the person infront of you
this was totally the worst day of your life
here was the probably the most handsome person you had ever laid your eyes on and you looked like you haven’t sleep in days with your panda eyebags and the hoodie you slept in
if looks could kill, you would probably be death by now
& wow if you were still alive, you were going to put a drink recommendation in the suggestion box called: Death by chocolate cause those eyes of his were more than just mesmerizing
considering you were a regular gere, thsi worker was most likely someone who only worked the midnight shift,
you guessed you needed to bug your friend who also worked here, Seungcheol, to know of his name
“oh, you looked like you needed it. don’t worry, it’s on the house. have strength and just endure a little more!”
you never deemed yourself as a particularly emotional person
sure there was the occasional outburst when you watched Hachiko or when Peter K. confessed love to Lara Jeans in To All The Boys I’ve Lived Before
but this, this was something else.
you didn’t know what struck you but you started crying
you would like to think it was because this situation too much for you to handle since you weren’t familiar with kindess during this bleak period of time known as exam season
yes, crying in an empty coffee shop at 1:15AM with the cute as heck barista standing right next to you
you had your fair shares of meltdowns in public before but most of the time, the crowd would just ignore you, with the belief that everyone goes through a hard time anyways so there wasn’t a need to pause their lives just to comfort a complete stranger
truth to be told, you thought the cute barista would just bolt through the entrance and call 911 or be like everyone else by giving your the cold shoulder treatment
to your surprise, you felt a warm hand patting your head before moving down to gently stroke your back in a rhythmic yet tender movement
“you will feel better after crying it all out.”
hearing his voice gave you more than just confort but you sought solace in both his words and presence
“i’m sorry *sniffs* e-exams ar-re jut … so hard right now ….. i’m gonna fa—il and not-ot make it …. in my life …”
the barista called your name, making you divert your full attention to him and tbh you were wondering how did he even know your name until you remembered you were the one who gave it when you ordered your drink lol
“you’re doing fine and I know you’re trying your best right now. That’s what most important.”
those words were all you needed for a smile to crack up and for your spirits to be lifted up
maybe what you needed all this while was an acknowledgement from others, to know that your hard work wasn’t going nowhere and that someone can see how much effort you are putting
“those are on the house so have faith in yourself and enjoy what you are doing!”
his encouragement had you lifting the corner of your lips to form a smile
sighing, you were sure the barista was only being nice to you because based on the fact that he looked like your age, he probably understood what you were going through and pitied you right from the start
to avoid being a food, you didn’t dare to think much about the encounter when you thanked him at the counter, cheeks reddened from your earlier outburst
you stuttered when you struggled with what to call him because you were rather embarrassed by the nickname of ‘cute barista’ you labelled him
“jisoo, but I usually let the people I like call me joshua so you can call me that.”
his twinkling eyes paired with that dangerously sweet smile of his took you off guard for a second
you had to shyly looked away to organize your thoughts because pray god that you weren’t interpreting this situation the wrong way
thanking him again with his name this time, you told him you will drop by to pay him back so won’t owe him anything
instead, he smiled and asked you to give him a second so he could tell how you could repay your ‘debt’
while you remained confused, joshua took one of the napkins sitting on the counter and scribbled something down before passing it to you
it had his number written neatly with a:
“i only work the midnight shift, you can repay the debt by going on a date with me :)”

It's kinda sad how everything went back to where they started from. They've come a full circle, they indeed have. And at the age of 23, he felt as if he's seen all that life has had to offer. What's the point?

series: 13 thoughts he has after a breakup
Seokmin realized, maybe too belatedly, that this relationship really sucked him dry. In hindsight, maybe he had been too focused on them, rather than on his own needs - he focused on why they weren’t replying him, their every little mood swing, and he would always, always put them first on every list he had, be it the people he would buy gifts for, people he would spend time with, you get the gist.
He didn't know who to blame for the breakup. Them, for voicing out the inevitable? Himself, for being way too attached than he should? Their circumstance, for letting them meet each other when they were both still so immature and not at all ready for a relationship? He sighed, then stared blankly at his laptop. Probably more of his fault.

What do they want? They're broken up. Stop texting him. Stop approaching him. Stop pretending that their whole relationship never existed. "It's only going to make this harder," they said, when he requested for a final hug right after the break up. Yet here they were, skirting around each other, flirting like unknowing grade-schoolers. Why?

Friends To Lovers! S.Coups
you had been best friends with seungcheol for pretty much your entire life
ever since he had ‘saved’ you by sticking on a pokemon bandaid on your 6 year old’s knee that had been bleeding from tripping in the playground
both of you were inseparable and not one was to be seen without the other
you had been there for all his swim meets, cheering him on with handmade banners consisting of the ugly faces he sent on snapchat while he was there for you, through the best and worst of times
from bringing you ice cream during your period or being your wingman when you had a crush on someone
it had been a purely platonic friendship with both of you dating different people, mingling with other circles
still, you did always winding up hanging out together at the end, staying at mcdonalds and dunking fries into your sundae cone then playing basketball at a court nearby where the loser needed to grant the winner a wish
him, escaping from the party where he was the main star from winning the swimming championship because it was boring without his best friend
and you, sneaking out from your house after a movie night with your friends and they had crashed, snores echoing the room because you itched to hear your best friend tell you the funniest stories from the party
maybe because you never had a day of not seeing seungcheol, the thought of him being gone from your life didn’t struck you once
a day before you graduated from high school, he had came over to your house
it was weird seeing him look so solemn when you were used to him being  a complete narcissist and talking the cheesiest pick up lines
from his pocket, he laid out a letter as he nervously bit his lip
when you read it, your eyes were turning as wide as saucers because it stated that seungcheol was being offered a sports scholarship for his swimming from one of the most prestigious universities in the city
“that means ... i’m gonna be gone.”
it soon dawned to you the heavy implication of his sentence
that would mean no more cooking attempts after watching a youtube video, going to the arcade, karaoke nights after exams and ultimately, losing your partner in crime
it was a bittersweet moment when you bid him farewell at the train station
seungcheol seemed to mature a lot in a month’s time, carrying his luggage with him
“don’t miss me too much.”
you retorted back, saying you won’t but you were glad he had been cracking jokes because you knew you would’ve cried
you exchanged messages with him over time, but obviously they got lesser as time went by
knowing how busy seungcheol must be trying to accustomed his new lifestyle and having to train harder than ever in order to maintain his scholarship
you were embarrassed to be seen as clingy because all this time, he had been called that by you from how did he casually just leaned his head on your shoulder and giving you hugs through random hours if the day
little did you know how much much you were missing all these little touches
during your last basketball game, it was obvious seungcheol went all out to stop you from winning because he really needed you to grant his wish which had been to never forget about him after he left 
seriously, you found his wish so stupid
how could you ever forget him when all you wanted for him to be by your side?
sometimes distance was all you need to make two individuals realize how much they needed each other
that their jigsaws actually fitted perfectly but they deny this cohesion by forcing another piece to match them will which only results in more pain
it was a year later when you had a free weekend to visit him in the city
he could barely any trips back due to his commitment to the sport and being the captain of his swim team 
on the other hand, you were studying while working part-time and being free not was never in your schedule
seungcheol had invited you to one of his swimming meets and thankfully, your boss had scheduled someone else for that particular weekend
your heart was racing at the thought of seeing him by the time you were on the train
the last week had been a blur of moments, from announcing to him that you were coming and literally questioning why were you feeling this way when you were video chatting him
there was this uncomfortable feeling in your mind running: what if he changed? what if he met someone better? 
still, you shook your head and went into the stadium where his meet was being held
you cheered your loudest when seungcheol stood on the podium after being announced as the winner
of course, he was able to find you and quickly waved with a laugh, seeing how you brought the meme face banner with you, causing all his teammates to snicker 
by the time you met him outside the stadium, he had already moved into a bone-crushing hug
he looked different, but in a good way, his features became more defined from the amount of training which was evident from the gold medal hanging on his chest 
but there was still the unforgettable gummy smile of his which brought an equally bright smile on your face
lsomeone was love struck, alright
“i really missed you.”
you usually replied with a snarky comment of how you didn’t feel the same but this time, you whispered the same sentence back to him
seungcheol seemed to notice this as well as his grip around your waist tighten
after bringing you around his campus, he showed you the last place of the itinerary: his dorm
you had a vivid memory on how his room looked like before he moved out: where countless of memories were spent
ths time, it was still a bit bare but it had a similar feel and going closer, you were surprised by how quickly you could recognize, mainly because you were connected in them
seungcheol smiled at how you noticed all the small items he placed, to remind him of you
because really that wasn’t all, while your physical presence wasn’t with him, he felt like you haven’t actually left his side
during the cold winter, he did wear the cashmere cream sweater you bought for him on his birthday
when flowers bloom in the spring, his wallpaper was changed to the selca you both took during cherry blossom viewing
autumn prompted him to use the dried leaves bookmark you both had made at a younger age during his reading for classes
lastly, summer came with a breeze
sitting on his bed and looking at him made you realize the tension in the room
suddenly it felt rather awkward because you had finally acknowledged your feelings for him for the first time and that he had always been at the center of your universe
“wow it’s a picture of us from sports day!”
you stood up to grab hold of that picture frame in attempts to break the silence
you wanted to laugh at the deja vu moment of your clumsiness when you somehow tripped on his bed frame when you turned back to show the picture and fell
instead of landing on his soft bed, you ended up in a rather compromising position consisting of you on top of seungcheol and your noses inches away from his
you were so incredibly close to him that you could feel his heartbeat besting and it was this intimate moment that made you thought of all the possibilities should you both shared the same feelings
the next few seconds felt like an eternity until seungcheol said in a breathless whisper
“i’m going to ask something really stupid, but can i kiss you?”  
there was no turning back from here
dazed, you nodded without a second thought
when his lips entwined with yours, he couldn’t felt any happier
if he had to describe it, the average person can see a million shades but kissing you like was discovering an altogether new colour
he wanted to pinch himself multiple times to see if he was actually dreaming and if he was going to wake up to the reality of not being beside you
you wondered if like you, seungcheol was seeing the galaxy in you, because the kiss you shared was like a shooting star in the universe where it was totally meant to be
“i can’t believe it took us this long to realize.”
“it’s better late than never.”
that was when seungcheol stole a kiss, then another and another again and again until your lips felt as if they belonged there

It's ironic, how they suddenly started to acknowledge his presence right after the breakup. Jihoon didn't understand why. Was it an extra effort to ease the tension?
Stop it.
Jihoon doesn't appreciate it, doesn't want it, doesn't want to deal with it. How long did it take him to build up this wall to barricade his feelings and toppling emotions, just for them to come and poke at it and watch it crumble down?
Impossible. He will not let it happen.
This time, he's going to have his guard up against heartbreakers. Ones just like them.

Everything destroyed. All these memories, these words of encouragement, these heart-fluttering messages - all destroyed by the water dripping down from the plaster ceiling, and all Seungcheol could do was watch. Watch as his mom crumpled all the notes up into paper balls, dumping them offhandedly into the trash bag right beside her. He was empty.

"The saddest thing in life is to fall in love with someone, then watch as they slowly fall out of love with you." It's true.
It had been all fairy dust and magic sparkles, the two of them cuddling on the couch watching movie marathons, skyping each other every night putting each other to sleep, having coffee shop dates every time it was nearing the exams; now it's all down to melted cotton candy, sickeningly sweet only in his memories.
He doesn't want to think of the moment he knew he should have prepared himself for the inevitable breakup. Doesn't want to think about how the breakup happened. Doesn't want to think about the exact words they said.
And yet they keep coming back to haunt him at his loneliest, quietest times.
hey, can we meet tomorrow? need to talk to you about something
think it'll be better to tell you face to face
what is it haha
just say it now
you sure?
yeah just do it lol
you're gonna breakup with me aren't you
yeah
I'm sorry

"Missed you :)" read the last message, a lone blue tick glaring against the warm tones dominating the chat wallpaper.
He should've known. Should've known that that was a blaring warning sign of a relationship crisis, should've done something to save them from this reality, should've just... done something else. Maybe that would lead to a different ending than this pathetic excuse of a breakup.
Should've known the moment he was perpetually overlooked by them in favour of other people at a gathering. Should've known the moment they avoided his gaze one too many times. Should've known the exact timing to let go, one that would save him from all these heartaches, being the one to dump them than being dumped.
Should've known. But at this point, what's the point? All's set into stone anyway.

Soonyoung couldn't stop himself from caring about them, no matter how hard he tried to look away each time. Why were they isolating themselves? Were they stressed? Have they talked to someone about it? He knew, could feel that little pang in his heart every time he looked at them, but he still couldn't get used to their newly renewed relationship status - single - his gaze losing its sparkle day by day. He kept reminding himself, kept beating himself up silently, his brain waging a war against his heart; yet his fleeting glances were always still directed at them. It’s painful to watch.

Jeonghan could tell that the both of them were suffering. One too many awkward glances, one too many times caught staring blankly into space, one less hearty laughter caught out of their being. That much was obvious. 
what he couldn’t understand was - why was this decision made if they both would do so much better with each other?

or even to those who had their hearts broken at an odd hour and needed some warm hot chocolate to mend their soul
it was the cafè’s one and only policy to serve any customer without any questions asked regardless of the time and their appearance
having a sweeter tooth, you usually leaned toward drinks such as a caramel latte and a mocha
however, you already had a shitty enough day from pretty much flunking your test despite how much you had studied the week before and the stress from seemingly not being prepared enough for your other subjects
with those thoughts constantly running through your mind, you had forgotten to grab your wallet you had left on the library table
you could only pray hard that you could still find it in the morning since it was already closed by the time you remembered
you only had a few loose change to spare after digging around your tote bag but thankfully, it accumulated enough to get you the cheapest beverage on the menu - a black coffee
butter drinks weren’t exactly your favourite but you had to suck it up
you desperately needed that fix of caffeine to continue studying or you would have collapsed from fatigue in no given time
furthermore, the environment from the cafe was much better than the silent library
with the occasional sound from the coffee beans being grounded and roasted made it lively even with the lack of customers
you barely paid attention to the cash register as you dropped the amount to the cashier’s hands and muttered out your name
exhaustation was evident on your face and your mind was genuinely worn out from the amount of things you had to memorize for your upcoming tests
whoever was in the college exam board, you hated them with your entire heart, mind, body and soul
geez who in their right mind thought it would he a great idea to schedule all your exams back to back?!?!
pulling an all nighter for the last few days  was seriously driving you mad and you felt that you couldn’t even hold a proper conversation without spitting out some theory in between
to add on to your frustration, none of yourlecturers  were being helpful whenever you took the liberty to email them questions
what came back to you was usually “check the previous slides” or “I’m taking a break, contact me again at xxxx”
you couldn’t wait for finals to be over so you could be a normal, functioning human being again
a notification from your phone caught your attention and by the time you skimmed the first few lines, you were on the verge of a mental breakdown
you were close to hyperventilating as your palms become clammy
it was an email from the college board to notify all full scholarship holders that should they not reach the minimum requirements of 3.5 GPA for finals, their scholarship will immediately be revoked
you really didn’t need to be reminded by this constant nightmare and it felt as if your demons were closing in one b-
“Here’s your order. Enjoy!”
for a moment you panicked since it was accustomed for the barista to call your name and for you to collect your order, yet here this person was bringing it all the way to your secluded corner where your tower of lecture notes seemed to be covering your frame
“i didn’t order any of this???? Wasn’t it supposed to be a black coffee?”
glancing downwards, a chocolate chip cookie deocrated your table along with a drink that was clearly too milky to be a black coffee
also definitely more than $3 you paid for
you begin panicking when you looked up at the barista because were you THAT sleep deprevied that you somehow gave the wrong order??
your pupils dilated even more when your line of vision moved upwards, immediately distracted by the person infront of you
this was totally the worst day of your life
here was the probably the most handsome person you had ever laid your eyes on and you looked like you haven’t sleep in days with your panda eyebags and the hoodie you slept in
if looks could kill, you would probably be death by now
& wow if you were still alive, you were going to put a drink recommendation in the suggestion box called: Death by chocolate cause those eyes of his were more than just mesmerizing
considering you were a regular gere, thsi worker was most likely someone who only worked the midnight shift,
you guessed you needed to bug your friend who also worked here, Seungcheol, to know of his name
“oh, you looked like you needed it. don’t worry, it’s on the house. have strength and just endure a little more!”
you never deemed yourself as a particularly emotional person
sure there was the occasional outburst when you watched Hachiko or when Peter K. confessed love to Lara Jeans in To All The Boys I’ve Lived Before
but this, this was something else.
you didn’t know what struck you but you started crying
you would like to think it was because this situation too much for you to handle since you weren’t familiar with kindess during this bleak period of time known as exam season
yes, crying in an empty coffee shop at 1:15AM with the cute as heck barista standing right next to you
you had your fair shares of meltdowns in public before but most of the time, the crowd would just ignore you, with the belief that everyone goes through a hard time anyways so there wasn’t a need to pause their lives just to comfort a complete stranger
truth to be told, you thought the cute barista would just bolt through the entrance and call 911 or be like everyone else by giving your the cold shoulder treatment
to your surprise, you felt a warm hand patting your head before moving down to gently stroke your back in a rhythmic yet tender movement
“you will feel better after crying it all out.”
hearing his voice gave you more than just confort but you sought solace in both his words and presence
“i’m sorry *sniffs* e-exams ar-re jut ... so hard right now ..... i’m gonna fa—il and not-ot make it .... in my life ...”
the barista called your name, making you divert your full attention to him and tbh you were wondering how did he even know your name until you remembered you were the one who gave it when you ordered your drink lol
“you’re doing fine and I know you’re trying your best right now. That’s what most important.”
those words were all you needed for a smile to crack up and for your spirits to be lifted up
maybe what you needed all this while was an acknowledgement from others, to know that your hard work wasn’t going nowhere and that someone can see how much effort you are putting
“those are on the house so have faith in yourself and enjoy what you are doing!”
his encouragement had you lifting the corner of your lips to form a smile
sighing, you were sure the barista was only being nice to you because based on the fact that he looked like your age, he probably understood what you were going through and pitied you right from the start
to avoid being a food, you didn’t dare to think much about the encounter when you thanked him at the counter, cheeks reddened from your earlier outburst
you stuttered when you struggled with what to call him because you were rather embarrassed by the nickname of ‘cute barista’ you labelled him
“jisoo, but I usually let the people I like call me joshua so you can call me that.”
his twinkling eyes paired with that dangerously sweet smile of his took you off guard for a second
you had to shyly looked away to organize your thoughts because pray god that you weren’t interpreting this situation the wrong way
thanking him again with his name this time, you told him you will drop by to pay him back so won’t owe him anything
instead, he smiled and asked you to give him a second so he could tell how you could repay your ‘debt’
while you remained confused, joshua took one of the napkins sitting on the counter and scribbled something down before passing it to you
it had his number written neatly with a:
“i only work the midnight shift, you can repay the debt by going on a date with me :)”

series: 13 thoughts he has after a breakup
Vernon still misses their hugs, their smiles, the way they would lean in closer just to see what he was doing on his phone every lunch break.
He still misses their scent, their nonsensical drawings, that little dimple they have on their left cheek.
but he also still remembers the very moment they broke up with him, leaving him staring at the ceiling for many, many sleepless nights

series: 13 thoughts he has after a breakup
A part of Minghao would hate himself for not allowing himself reprieve. But he had to be strong; it was the only way he knew how to response to things like this. His entire identity was built on nonchalance, on humour, and on determination. It's unhealthy - god, he knows - but he'd rather inflict this pain on to himself where he (thinks) he knows how to deal with quietly, than inflict it on others. So he sucks it all up.
even when he sees them laughing hard with another person.
像疯了一样的嫉妒,可却也无可奈何。

series: 13 thoughts he has after a breakup
When going through a breakup, the one thing most people do is to cry for a good 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years. Find a friend to cry to, rant on all their social media platforms - you name the entire shebang. All Chan allowed himself was 5 hours of sleep. Then off he dove back into his never-ending work, surrounding himself with task after task after task. That way, no possible downtime would be available anymore for him to think about anything else.
