With the start of the new school year business at the café slowed down. It was a sad but normal sight to see the once crazy place slow down quite a bit. In fact sometimes they only needed one person on the floor the entire day. But Onew knew that they would be okay. It was a welcome change from all the running around that they have been having to do while it was busy. Even with the slow business they still had enough business to keep the place running smoothly. He still saw his hyungs from time to time but they were also busy with their own things in life and couldn’t make as many visits to their place. They even got to meet Nichkhun with the café being slow. The Thai man stopped by one afternoon to see Minho at work and the poor boy nearly dropped the tray he was holding in surprise. But it was actually his crush's quick hands that caught it before anything could happen. He had a nice smile and was very friendly to everyone there. Onew rather liked the man and hoped that things worked out between him and Minho.

So imagine Onew's surprise when he came back one day from lunch at his favorite fried chicken place that not only was Minho standing behind the counter but Key, Taemin, and Jonghyun as well. The older man blinked as they all tried to appear as if they were doing something of importance up there but in fact it was rather silly watching the head chef and his assistant standing behind the counter. Glancing through the café he noticed that it was mostly empty except for a couple of girls in the corner and a young man sitting by the window reading something. Curious about it all he went behind the counter and whispered into Minho's ear.

"So…what's going on here?"

"You see that guy over there? The one by the window?" Minho replied without barely moving his lips.

Onew glanced over again at the man for a second look. He looked slightly older than them with a pair of nice pants and a button up shirt. His hair was dark and covered with a dark hat. Onew couldn't get a look at the man's face because he wore a pair of dark sunglasses and a scarf that covered his face.

"What about him?" Onew asked again.

"He's famous."

"Eh?"

But before Minho could answer Onew was grabbed by the wrist by Key and dragged into the kitchen. Once there he was pushed into a seat and found himself staring at both Key and Taemin.

"Do you know the TV shows Sharp 2, April Kiss, and Snow Flower?"

It took Onew a moment but he did remember the shows, if only because he was forced to watch them while being friends with Key. When he nodded Key grinned.

"The main actor, Kim Kibum, is the guy sitting at the table."

"Are you sure? Why would he come here of all places?" The older had to ask. As popular as the café was, it wasn't known for its popularity amongst famous people.

"I know who I saw." Key replied with a flip of his head. "And we have already noticed that Leeteuk hyung seems to know everyone in the world so I wouldn't be surprised if he was somehow connected to this too."

Onew had to admit, that was probably true. When he nodded to this Key seemed pleased. The two of them went to the front again to watch the actor. Now that he knew exactly who the man was, Onew could see why they were so excited. Kibum was a little bit older than them but already he was well known in a lot of shows and commercials he has done. To have someone this famous at their little café was amazing. After standing there staring, he began to realize how absolutely silly they must all look.

"Yah, yah. What are we doing?" He suddenly asked causing the others to stare at him. "We are supposed to be professionals and here we are acting like a bunch of fan boys because he is reading in our café."

"But hyung, we are fan boys." Taemin replied with a smile.

Onew sighed but sent them all back to their positions. They grumbled and whined but did as they were told.  When they were in their spots Onew glanced back at the actor. The paper that he was reading was apparently a script of some kind. He could tell even from the angel that it was. Kibum was reading each line with  a look of concentration on his face. Well he assumed it was concentration, the sun glasses did block a bit of the view.

Onew wanted to spend as much time observing the actor to find out more, but he was unable to. Because at that moment the door to the café opened and a new customer entered. However before Onew could call out a customary greeting to the new guest, a tall man wearing a similar outfit to the actor, the man had made his way straight to Kibum. Onew watched as man gave Kibum a small bow before talking the seat across from him. The new person removed his sunglasses and smiled and suddenly Onew felt a tight grip on his arm.

"Do you know who that is!?" Minho hissed in his ear.

"No, do you know you're hurting my arm?"

"That's Choi Siwon!" Minho continued to hiss, disregarding the comment about the arm.
"Oh, the model you mean?"

"Yes! I'm a huge fan!"

Choi Siwon was the latest hottest thing in the modeling world. If his picture was on it, then considered it to be sold. His face and charming smile and personality made his loved by everyone. And his fan base could rival even some of the most famous pop groups in the nation. Onew knew about him, because he has seen the commercials of all the endorsement deals but this was the first time seeing him in person.

"Does your boyfriend know you are ogling another man?" Onew asked jokingly.

"Oh Nichkhun knows all about me liking Siwon." Minho replied as he finally released the others arm.

"You do realize you have just admitted that he is your boyfriend right?"

"Well…he is." Minho explained with a shrug of his shoulders and a grin. "Just don’t go telling the others or they'll bug me all the more about him."

"Deal." Onew promised with a grin of his own. He turned his attention back to the two.

"Is that the script to your latest project?" Siwon was asking Kibum.

"Yeah, I wish my manager would agree to more than just romance shows though. I'd like to do an action role or even a thriller every once in a while."

Siwon chuckled at this.

"Why not tell him that?"
"That old man is never going to get it even if I spell it out for him." The actor explained causing the other to laugh.

"You never know Kibum. By the way how did you hear about this place?" Siwon asked as he looked around the brightly lit café.

"My hyung told me about it. I guess he likes coming here all the time or something."

"I hear your hyung got himself a boyfriend now."

"What of it?" Kibum asked with a frown.

"Oh nothing, just thought I'd ask you about it. Didn't you like him or something."

"As long as hyung is happy then I can't be too upset right." Kibum countered before sighing. "Anyways, why are you here?"

"I asked your manager where you were. We are to do that commercial together soon and I wanted to see you before then."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, actually to be honest when I found out your hyung got a boyfriend I was rather happy."

"Why?"

"Because it meant I could finally pursue you." Siwon explained with a serious look.

"Eh?" Kibum jerked in surprise at this, the sunglasses on his face dipping down in surprise.

"It's true, I really like you but you really liked your hyung. So I thought if he was taken then I could ask you out."

Kibum, the man with always a line up his sleeve, was speechless at this. A rosy blush appeared on his lips and he had to clear his throat a couple of times before speaking. Onew was really entertained by all of this. It was like watching another one of Kibum's shows in person. Except Kibum was playing the role of the girl instead of the guy. Kibum seemed to finally get his emotions in check, or at least his voice back, and he glanced up at the other.

"So what exactly do you want me to do with this information?" The actor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Give me a chance." Siwon explained with a grin. "I promise to be on my best behavior."

"I suppose I could give you that." Kibum agreed with a small nod.

Siwon smiled that killer smile that Onew had seen on ads and magazines and rose to his feet. Giving the actor a small nod he told him he would call him about their date and made his exit. Kibum pretended to go back to the script he was reading but it was obvious that his attention was nowhere near the actual item in front of him. Onew watched him sit there staring into space for a good ten minutes before giving up. Standing up he nodded his head to Onew and Minho he pulled out his phone to call someone as he headed out the door.

"Hyung, I need some advice." He said as the jingling door closed behind him.

"2000 won says that his hyung is actually not Leeteuk for once." Onew declared to the other with a smirk.

"You're on. Leeteuk hyung knows everyone."

***

A week later the café was again relatively slow. The staff was busy enough to have customers but not busy as they were in the past months. In fact Onew was almost tempted to send Taemin home so the youth could get some extra time for his studying. With school back in order the youngest need to focus on his final year in class. But before he could decide what he wanted to do the door opened and he was greeted by the sight of the model Choi Siwon again. The model made his way over to Onew in a manner that seemed more for a runway than a café setting. Onew smiled politely at the man and offered him a bow.

"Welcome to Shinee Café. How may I help you?"

"To be honest, I am expecting a date here." Siwon explained with a small dimple smile. "And I am really nervous. He suggested that we come here."

"If you like I can lead you to a table that is more private, so you guys can have a good time."

"That would be great." Siwon was obviously grateful about the whole arrangement.

Onew led him to a table in the back of the café, one that Kyuhyun would hide at when he came to play on his laptop. He knew the computer genius wouldn't come in since he and Sungmin hyung were out of the city for a martial arts competition. After he got Siwon seated he went to keep an eye out for Kibum. Not even a few minutes later the actor also arrived.

"Waiting for someone?" Onew asked politely with a smile.

"Ah yes." The actor admitted.
Onew smiled as he led him towards Siwon. The model rose to his feet at the sight of his date. A smile on his face. The two exchanged pleasantries and sat down. Onew was quick to get their order and leave them be on their date. He made it into the kitchen to hand off the order when Key shot him a look.

"Are those two really having a date out there?" He asked as he began to make the order.

"Seems like it." Onew replied before shooting a smirk at Minho. "I guess you'll just have to do with Nichkhun after all. Your crush seems to already been taken."

"At least I have someone." Minho shot back with a wave as he went back into the café.

"Jerk." Onew glared at the man before looking at Taemin who was snickering behind his hands.

"Well you did walk into that one." Jonghyun said with a grin.

"Oh go moon over Key or something." Onew joked back causing the blond to sputter and blush.

"I hate you." Jonghyun growled as Onew left the kitchen chuckling.

"Well you did walk into that one." Taemin said to the blond.

"Shut up brat."

"Grumpy much." Taemin asked with a grin as Key snickered at the groups actions.

Onew took his place at the counter of the café and took a moment to glance at the date happening nearby. They seemed to be doing well and that made Onew happy. Looking down he began to go over some things at the counter when the familiar jingle of their café door rang. Looking up he was about to greet the new arrivals but was stopped by one of them putting a finger to their lips. Onew raised an eyebrow as he watched the pair make their way towards the couple on the date. Minho made his way over to the counter to whisper to the other.

"Why are Donghae-hyung and Hyukjae-hyung here?"

"I have no idea, but it looks like they are spying on Kibum-shi and Siwon-shi."

In fact the pair had taken a booth next to the pair on and were trying to bluntly spy on them. However, Donghae's spying skills appeared to be rusty, or even nonexistent, because a few minutes later they were caught.

"Hyung?" Kibum asked in surprise as he stood up. "What are you doing here?"

"Kibummie!" Donghae also stood up, however not nearly as graceful as he banged his knee on the table.

"Hae! Are you okay?" Hyukjae asked as he checked on his boyfriend.

"Yeah, just a bump Hyukkie. I do it all the time." Donghae admitted with a chuckle.

"Hyung." Kibum asked again as he stared at them. "What are you doing here?"

"Um…" Donghae seemed to be nervous. He glanced left to right to figure out something to say but nothing was coming quick enough for him to answer the actor.

"Are you spying on me?" Kibum asked in shock.

"Maybe?" Donghae replied with his head down. "I'm sorry Kibummie, I just wanted to make sure everything was going okay."

"Eh?"

"Well when you called the other day you seemed to shy about your date, and I never realized how much you actually liked Siwon and I wanted to make sure your date was going well. And so Hyukkie and I came to see you guys, and you look so cute together. And I see why you like him, but of course I love my Hyukkie and…"

"DONGHAE!" Both Hyukjae and Kibum  shouted to shut him up.

"Um, sorry."

The two looked at each other and then at their friend. After a moment of silence they burst out laughing. Hyukjae pulled his embarrassed boyfriend into his arms and cuddled him, chuckling at the red face man. Kibum watched the pair with a small smile on his face. He would have said something if it wasn’t for his date deciding to comment.

"So you do like me huh?" Siwon asked with a grin.

Kibum also reddened and then couldn’t help but mentally curse his hyung for his big mouth.

"So what if I do?" He asked, trying to seem haunting.

Siwon grinned and then got to his feet. The cuddling couple stopped in their actions to watch as well as Onew and Minho to see what the actor would do. With that smile of his Siwon cupped the other man's face and dipped down to give him a soft kiss on the lips. The kiss was small and light but when he pulled away Kibum was redder than before. He tried to keep his composure but it was ruined by the couple next to him.

"Awe!" EunHae cooed together. "You're so cute!"

"Shut up Hyung!"

Across the café Onew and Minho were watching the exchange with grins on their faces. Onew turned towards the younger man and held out his hand.

"I believe I won this bet." The man said with a grin.

"What bet?"

"That the hyung that Kibum-shi called was not Leeteuk hyung."

The realization appeared on his face and Minho couldn’t help but wince at that. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out his wallet and opened it up. Pulling out the other man's winnings he all but slapped them in his hyungs hands before pouting.

"I hate losing to you."

Onew chuckled at this. He may have won this bet but across the café it looked like his hyungs won something more important. He was excited to tell Leeteuk the good news. Their cupid café was going well.
