Late in the café

The new boy in our dorm

Henry's POV:

I woke up the next morning earlier than usual and I made it in time to work. Only to see Taeil and his new boyfriend Jihoon making out behind the counter. I opened the door and entered the café.

"Geez, you should really get a room" I said out loud and I think I scared the life out of Taeil, his boyfriend looked like he didn't even give a damn.

"Uh, yea Jihoon this is Henry my co-worker and my good friend" Taeil stuttered while smiling, poor boy.

"Hi nice to meet to you im Jihoon" The boy awnsered with a really dark low voice. It gave me chills.

"Um, nice to meet you im Henry" I awsered and shook his hand. After that Jihoon left telling Taeil he would pick him up at 7pm.

"Oh, so you're having a date tonight?" I asked while winking at Taeil.

"Oh no, we're just going to hang out on his place" Taeil said while blushing.

"Ooh, sounds so cute" I awsered while putting on my apron.

I started the coffee maker and took out all the cups from the cabinets. I yawned a little and said to Taeil that he should go and officially open the café, since Jihoon was in here before the official opening time. I guess Taeil met him in the morning and brought him here.

A busy day started, there were a lot of customer in the café and Zhoumi visited there too. It was so nice to have a little chat with him before he went off to study. We talked about everything and he suggested that I could come with him to the library after my shift, but I had to say no since I was on the late shift. Zhoumi looked a little sad, but said that he had to tell me something later, so we agreed that he would come and walk home with me in the evening.
I got really curious about his announcement, but he just left without telling me more. He was such a tease.

Taeil left at 7pm, and I was left to take care of the café for 2 hours before it was time to close up. About 20 minutes after Taeil left I saw Leeteuk stepping in and he was looking rather shocked.

"Hi Henry, can I have a cappucino please?" He said and sat down near the counter.

"Sure hold on a sec" I awsered and started to make a cappucino for him.

After I finished the drink I placed it down in front of him and asked:
"Is everything okay?"

Leeteuk nodded quickly and I could tell he was lying. He refused to meet my gaze and he was playing with his sleeves. He was looking very uncomfortable.

"No, tell me what is wrong" I said firmly, and he finally looked me in the eye.

"Henry, have you ever liked someone so much that it started to hurt?" Leeteuk asked, a picture of Zhoumi flashed trough my head. I nodded slowly towards Leeteuk.

"Well I have that situation now, you know that I really like Kangin, but im not sure if he likes me back" Leeteuk almost whispered.

I spurted out in laughter and Leeteuk looked at me as if I've gone insane. After calming down and wiping my tears of laughter I said:
"I thought you guys were already together, it is obvious that Kangin is crazy about you"

Leeteuks eyes went huge and he smiled shyly.

"Are you sure?" He asked with a shaky voice.

"Yes" I awsered and Leeteuk looked like he had just won the lottery.

"Well I got to get going now, but thank you so much for support. I really appreciate it." Leeteuk said and took off, he left a lot of tip for me and I just smiled when I placed the money in my pocket.

Just when I was about to lock down and close for the day I heard somebody calling for me. I turned around and saw Zhoumi running towards me with a huge bag full of books on his shoulder.

"Hi Zhoumi, how was studying?" I asked when Zhoumi stopped and took a few heavy breaths.

"It was okay, can we go inside, I have something important to tell you?" He asked while smiling.

"Um, I was just about to lock down. Can't you tell it to me on the way to our dorm?" I asked trying to sound as polite as possible.

"No, I want to tell this to you in private" He said looking determined.

"Oh okay, but not long because Minhyuk trusts me with the café, and I dont want to dissapoint him" I said remembering the rule to always lock down in time.

"Sure sure, this will only take a while" Zhoumi said and dragged me inside from my wrist.

I sat down on one of the tables while he just stood infront of me clearly trying to find the correct words.

"Umm, Henry ever since I first met you I felt something I had never felt before" He started and I felt my heart jumping to my throat, this was it.
The confession I had been waiting for.

"I really really like you and I just wanted to know if you by any chance wuld like to be my boyf-" He was interrupted by a loud bang coming from the dressing rooms. I sounded like something heavy being knoced over.
I couldn't move I was both terrified and excited, but I knew I had to go and check what caused the voice, so I got up and made my way to the dressing room. As I slowly entered the room I saw my jacket on the floor next to the knocked over stand. Stupid jacket you ruined everything, I thought as I slowly picked it up and threw it on. I turned around and stated walking towards the door, but I had to stop and take a few deep breaths before returning back to Zhoumi. My heart didn't calm down a bit. Zhoumi was still standing on the same spot that he was before and he lifted his gaze to my eyes.

"Well I guess we need to get going" he said quietly and walked to the door opening it and waiting for me.
I felt so sorry for him, he clearly had everything planned and my stupid jacket ruined it all. When I passed him by the door I reached on my tip toes and gave him a gentle peck on his cheek. He froze before smiling and coming after me outside.
I locked the door and we made our back to our dorm. I felt happy even thought he hadn't finished his question, but I knew what was my answer.
Yes.

Chapter 37: I can't stay calm with them. Basically, they went on a date, got drunk, almost did THAT thing, sleep in the same bed very close to each other.. But they are not together and are talking of being fake boyfriends for a wedding?!? Are they... blind?!
They both die for each other but don't have the guts to take a further step?

Chapter 33: I want the story to move on.
But there is one thing i am hoping for^^
At the beginning of the story i felt like you told more about other couples too. I know that the main pairing is zhoury, but as eunhae fan i kind of hope to see how their relationship is going cx and the others too! I know they were at the casino and stuff but i have read so many stories with good start and not so good end. Side characters are important and many times writers seem to forget them when they are writing about the main pairing. And by this i didn't mean you had forget them, but i just wanted to remind, sooo you won't forget them, haha.
I like this story, and thank you for updating it:)
