“Palli.”

Hakyeon wakes Leo up and the latter whines, pulling his blanket more but was smacked by Hakyeon.

“We will be late Leo ya. Come on.”

“Oh N. Let me sleep for 10 minutes more.”

“You said so when I went to shower. But you snore away.”

“I’m tired.”

Said Leo, yawning.

“Should I go by myself then?”

Hakyeon asked and Leo quickly stood up. 

“Alright I’m up.”

“Good, I’m making coffee so go and wash up. It’s a wonderful day today. Smile.”

“Kiss me.”

Hakyeon shakes his head and smooch Leo which makes him smile.

“I’ll be ready in a minute.”

“Shower properly. Aigoo.”

Leo grins and pulls his towel with him; still had the grin when he turn the shower on.

###

“You are late.”

Wonshik pouts and Hakyeon hugs the groom, patting his back.

“I am here now right?”

Wonshik smile but soon frown when Leo pulls Hakyeon to his side.

“Your boyfriend is grumpy.” 

Hakyeon laughs and pats Wonshik’s chest. Leo was about to explode but calm down when Hakyeon hugs his waist.

“Are you okay Wonshik ah? I heard groom is the most nervous.”

“I am not. I’m marrying the one I love.” 

“Oh how sweet.”

Hakyeon cooed, chuckling.

“Where is Binnie?”

“Preparing himself. Oh God he is the one who is nervous right now. As if he is to get married.”

Wonshik rolls his eyes and was knocked by Hongbin who was out of the toilet.

“Heyy you will ruin my hair.”

He whined, quickly look into the mirror.

“Whine again and I won’t give ypu guys the ring.”

Said Hongbin. Hakyeon laughs at the two non stop bickering while Leo staring only at him.

“Hyung look.”

“Stop now you brats. It’s time for us to come out right?”

“Right!” 

Said Wonshik, straightening his suit. Hakyeon kisses Leo’s cheek and mouthed see you later before the three walks into the chapel, Leo follows at the back.

###

“Attending wedding is always tiring.”

Said Leo, resting his head on Hakyeon’s shoulder.

“But I love it. We used to supply dessert and coffee for weddings when we first started the cafe. It’s fun.”

“Hmm.”

“Wae? You don’t like it?”

Hakyeon asked and Leo chuckles.

“I will love it if its our wedding.”

“Leo ya. Don’t play around.”

“I’m not.”

Said Leo, sitting up straight and look at his lover.

“Do you want to marry me N ah?”

“Wasn’t it too sudden Woon?”

“Do you think I rush it?”

“Aniyo. We should let your family know. You know we are.”

Hakyeon sighs and Leo chuckles.

“They love you baby, they would accept you into the family.”

“Are you sure?”

Leo nods like a puppy and Hakyeon smiles.

“Let’s meet your family first then.”

“N ah.”

“Wae?”

“Will you say yes?”

“If your family accept me.”

“They will.”

“Let’s talk again then. Now go home.”

“Can’t I stay.”

“Maybe after marriage hyung.”

Said Hongbin chuckling as he walks into his room with a glass of water.

###

“Boss, can I take the day off?”

Hakyeon frown but give a yes to Sungjae. It’s rare for the barista to take emergency leave and this makes him wonder.

“Sungjae is not coming?”

Hongbin asked after he places the patisseries. Hakyeon nodded.

“Do you sense something Binnie? You are good at those.”

“It’s hard to read that kid hyung  maybe he has important thing to do.”

“I think so.”

Said Hakyeom, smiling at Hongbin.

“So, it will be me and the machines today.”

“Right hyung, dance your tune.”

“Aye aye.”

Said Hakyeon and both laughs before they start working for the day.

It’s past lunch when Leo walks into the cafe in a rush, sighing in relief when he saw Hakyeon busy making coffee.

He sat down at his place, which has reserve tag on them and drink the plain water that Hakyeon’s staff gave him.

“Oh.”

Hakyeon mouthed when he saw Leo. He passed the coffee to his staff and walk ahead to Leo.

“You just came?”

Leo nodded.

“I called and messaged you. No answer.”

Hakyeon took out his phone from his apron pocket and gasps.

“You called so many times? Why?”

“I was busy this morning. Want to tell you that I won’t come for lunch but you ignored this poor boyfriend of yours.”

Said Leo, faked a sad expression. Hakyeon laughs, rubbing Leo’s hand.

“Sungjae is not in so I am so very busy. Let me make you coffee to apologize okay?”

“No kiss?”

“Leo ya. We are in public.”

Hakyeon whined and Leo laughs.

“I’m joking. Go put your love in the coffee, I’ll anticipate.”

“Done sir!”

Said Hakyeon and went to his station. Thank God lunch hour is over and the customers is not that pack. He could make Leo’s latte as smooth and careful as he could.

“What are you making?”

Leo’s voice make him jump a bit before he chuckles.

“Piccolo latte. I learn it in Sydney.”

“Never heard of them.”

“You will like it baby. It’s creamy and I’ll make it sweet for you.”

Leo smiles, loving it when Hakyeon addresses him sweetly. Watching Hakyeon doing what he loves makes his heart swell as well. He waited and after 20 minutes, he was served a coffee in a glass.

“This indeed is a weird presentation of hot coffee.”

“I was reminded to not use cup. Enjoy!”

Leo sips a bit and closes his eyes.

“Like it?”

Hakyeon asked his boyfriend and Leo nodded, a smile formed on his lips.

“After hard at work, coffee is indeed healing.”

“I’ll make you various of coffee after this, don’t worry.”

“For the rest of my life?”

Leo asked and Hakyeon smiles.

“Let’s meet your family. My answer depends on theirs.”

Leo sighs but nods. When a customer came in, he took his precious coffee and walks to his table, hoping they will end up together for the rest of their lives.

###

“You don’t want to talk?”

Sanghyuk shakes his head, swings the bat powerfully and it hits the ball. Sungjae shrugs, waits until his friend finish. He sat down and stare at his friend.

“Just how?”

He mumbles to no one in particular. Sanghyuk finished hitting all the ball and grins at Sungjae.

“Arcade?”

“You know me too well.”

Said Sanghyuk and both guys went to the nearest arcade.

“You promise you will move on after this okay.”

Sungjae asked and Sanghyuk nods.

“Just let me pour all my frustration.”

“That’s why I’m here.”

Said Sungjae, patting Sanghyuk’s shoulder.

Sanghyuk sighs, before thanking his best friend.

“I’ll get over this too.”

 

###

Hakyeon opens the door and laughs.

“Again?”

He lets his boyfriend in and makes him sit down.

“Want some coffee?”

“Aniyo. I want you.”

“Yahh.”

Leo chuckles, shaking his head.

“Not in a ert way. I told noona I’m bringing you tomorrow. Let’s talk then?”

“You sure Leo ya? It’s not too soon?”

“Ani. Let’s neh?”

“Gurae. I’ll go there after work.”

“No no. I’ll pick you up.”

“Okay Leo ya. Up to you.”

As they were talking, Hakyeon’s phone rang and he look at the ID.

“Hyukkie?”

He mumbles and Leo frowns.

“Why did he calls you this late?”

Shrugging, Hakyeon answers the phone.

“Annyeong Hyukkie ah.”

“Hyung.”
