He nervously walked to the CEO room. He clenched his hand though his heart was beating like crazy.

He had wished that he will get the position he worked hard for years and now he had another reason.

“Please be it a positive one.”

He prayed as he knocked the door and walked inside.

“Mr. Jung. Come on and sit down.”

“Thank you CEO.”

Said Leo shortly and sat on the chair opposite of the CEO.

“Would you want to know the result now or later?”

“I’ll be glad if you tell me now.”

“You must have predicted by the way I want to tell you personally don’t you?”

Leo has to shake his head. He thinks of nothing because he was too nervous to do so.

“Please. Do tell me.”

“Here, your appointment order.”

The CEO stands and Leo stood up quickly after.

“You got the position. Good luck!”

“Thank you.”

He said, taking the sentences written one by one in his mind.

“Thank you.”

He once again said and the CEO laughs.

“You deserved it young boy. You worked extra hard for it.”

He got a pat on his arm and he left the room, chest feel light and his lips moves slightly upward; he is smiling.

“Leo ya, do you want to have some dessert?”

“Did you made it?”

Hakyeon bobbed his head with a grin and Leo nods.

“Sure.”

“It was called Tiramisu Panna Cotta. I’ll come to you in a bit. Go to your table.”

Leo walked to ‘his’ table after he chuckles, touching the reserved sign and only then he checked the cafe.

“Did he put this because the cafe is full?”

He shakes his head.

“Aishh why did you make my heart flutter?”

He murmurs and glances at Hakyeon who was really busy at the counter.

He came to him shortly, grinning when he present the dessert in front of him, quickly seated.

“Taste it.”

He said, puppy eyes twinkling as he wait in expectant.

“Hmmm.”

He responds and Hakyeon’s grin wider.

“What do you think if we put them in the menu?”

“It will be a bomb.”

“You really think so?”

“Yes N ah.”

“Gomawo Leo ya. I know you have a good palate.”

He said and stood up.

“I really want to talk with you but it’s full house. We’ll talk later if you don’t mind.”

“It’s okay. We can walk to your home together.”

“Your car?”

“Left it at home.”

“Okay then. Just ask for anything okay. We’ll send it to you.”

“Arasseo. Now go.”

Hakyeon laughs and did went behind the counter with his sunshine smile.

###

“You don’t have to Leo ya.”

“It’s okay. I’m so lazy these past few week. I didn’t even went to work out.”

“But you still look good though.”

Hakyeon thought silently, doesn’t realize that he talk it out loud until Leo asks him to repeat that.

“Aniyo.”

He said, laughing awkwardly and his cheek starts showing red.

“Oh do you like the coffee earlier?”

“You know I love everything you made.”

He said, glancing at him to check his expression; grinning when Hakyeon palms his cheek.

“N, are you free some day around this week?”

He tried changing the topic to not make Hakyeon shy away. Hakyeon turns at him. His gaze soft.

“I can make time for you if you want. What’s the occasion?”

He asked, eyes bright as he look at Leo. He smiled.

“I’ll tell you later. So Saturday?”

“Saturday then.”

Said Hakyeon and waves at Leo as he went to his house.

“You can go now.”

He said as he walks backward. Leo shakes his head.

“I’ll go after you went inside.”

He said and Hakyeon smiled, a hand on his lips. Leo was sure he likes him with the way he acts but he has to make sure he was right in proper way.

He waves when Hakyeon waves at him and walks slowly to the opposite way, towards Hakyeon’s cafe. He lied that he didn’t bring his car with him today. But walking this much sure bring some good thing to him.

He nodded at his thought.

###

“So?”

Hakyeon asks when he was inside Leo’s car. Leo chuckles.

“Do you want to hear some music?”

“I’m fine with anything.”

He said, tugging the seatbelt and fasten it.

“Where are we going?”

“A place that is dear to me.”

“Oh?”

Leo nodded and Hakyeon shrugs.

“But why did you ask if I brought the cafe keys?”

“There is the place.”

Leo said and Hakyeon pouted.

“I thought you want to bring me somewhere far.”

“Do you want to?”

“Eh?”

“If I ask you to come with me, do you want to?”

“Just where will you go?”

Hakyeon laughs, and removes his seatbelt when Leo stops in front of his cafe.

“There.”

Said Hakyeon as he enters the cafe, Leo follows him.

“What?”

He was stopped from turning when Leo suddenly hugs him from behind. His arms are strongly gripped around his body, makes him lose his words.

“I love you, N ah.”
