Luhan sighed as he wiped the bar area down with his wet, slightly soapy rag. He smiled as a few young middle school girls walked in and sat at the ar. "Hello and welcome. May I take your order?"

"Just a regular coffee, eighty-five percent espresso, ten percent chocolate syrup, and five percent Italian sweet creme please."

"Coming right up." He smied, turning to the espresso machine and flipping the switch to turn the prepared coffee grounds into a warm cup of espresso.

"So how old are you? You don't look old enough to be a barista..."One girl asked.

"You look about our age? Are you just really tall?" Another asked.

"Are you even from here?" Another boldly asked as the others laugh.

Luhan sighed silently and counted to ten in his head, turning back towards them and putting on a false smile. "I'm eighteen years old and in art university. And no, I'm from Beijing." He stated, pushing a full cup of coffee towards them.

"Where's that?" They asked in unison.

Luhan smiled as he rested his arms on the bar. "China."

The girl's jaws dropped as they leaned in towards Luhan. "Woah! All the way from China?"

"Why are you here?"

"How long have you been here?"

"Are you going to go back?"

"I heard that's Communist territory. You know, like in North Korea, but they still let Americans in."

Luhan sighed as he closed his eyes and counted to twenty this time. "Will that be all for you today? Maybe you'd like to try one of our freshly baked chocolate muffins or-" He asked, stopping as he saw Sehun walk in and smile towards him.

The girls turned around to see what Luhan was looking at, squealing as they saw Sehun. "Oh. Em. Gee. It's Oh Sehun!" One girl squealed, digging in her backpack for her sketchpad and a pen. "Oh my Gosh this is so awesome! Would you please sign my sketchpad?" She asked as her friends rolled their eyes.

Sehun smiled and took her pen, scrawling a small note and his signature on the cover. "There you go..."

The girl squealed as he handed her back her property. "Thank you so much!! Come on guys, let's go!!!"

Luhan let out a shaky breath as Sehun sat at the bar and loked towards Luhan, who had his back turned toward him, washing the cup left by the starstruck teens.

"So..." Sehun asked.

Luhan turned back around and wiped the bar down. "Hello and welcome. May I take your order?" He asked, ignoring Sehun's attempt at a casual conversation. "Maybe you'd like to try one of our freshly baked chocolate muffins or a slice of red velvet cake?"

"Well, I'd like a cinammon roll frappucino and a minute of your time to talk about-"

"I'll get staryed on your order right away, sir." Luhan smirked, turning toward the espresso machine.

Sehun grabbed Luhan by the elbow and held him close to the bar. "Luhan, stop." He commanded. "Talk to me."

"What is there to talk about, Sehun?" Luhan snapped quietly as to not cause a scene. "Just let me make your...coffee, sir." He sighed.

"Maybe the fact that I kissed you last night." Sehun ordered. "Look, the other night I confessed something to you I had hoped to keep secret, so what are we going to do about it?"

"Absolutely nothing." Luhan seethed. "Now, there are other customers besides you here that may need my help because as you can tell, Donghae is not here. Are you through? Can I just make your coffee?!" 

Sehun sighed as he leaned over he bar. "Fine."

"Fine." Luhan said, briskly walking towards a waiting couple in a booth.

Sehun sighed, rubbing his temples and counting to himself. "Damn, this is going to be hard..."

Well, a lot has happened in this chapter! Oh, and good news! I graduated! On the last saturday of May, and I got a new laptop as a graduation gift!! So yay! Before, I was writing on an Acer One netbook, which had a teeny tiny keyboard and that's why I had a lot of typos, and now  have an Acer Aspire Notebook, which is a lot bigger in every single aspect, so there might still be typos because I type really fast...

Anyways, the story!! Where's Donghae? What will happen between Sehun and Luhan? Why is Luhan suddenly angry at Sehun? So many questions that even I can't answer right now! Well, I could, but I won't. At least, not until the next chapter!!

Saranghae,
