"Wait, what are YOU doing here? Didn't I just serve you a little while ago?!?!?!"

Taemin simply grinned as the younger stood with hanging open next to the pretty girl from earlier.

"Oh! Hi! I forgot to introduce myself earlier. I'm Taemin. Now you have a name to match the number^^" Taemin said flirting with Maerin.

Maerin blushed as Taemin leaned forward, leaving a couple of inches between their faces.

Hana shuddered at the couple and ducked under Maerin with the intention to join Bi Ah, but found herself in a similar situation as the TaeMaerin couple.

"How come I haven't seen you around before?" Maerin asked Taemin as he prepared her order in a cool fashion.

"I just started working here last week, but I couldn't come in because we had to look after my 'son', Yoogeun." he said smiling fondly at the mention of the baby's name.

Maerin's eyes widened at the mention of the word son. 

"Y-y-you're married?" she asked unsurely. She felt her heart shattering as the attractive male smiled.

"Of course...." her heart dropped into her stomach. "...not." 

Seeing Maerin's look of confusion, Taemin laughed before explaining. 

"Yoogeun is the baby that I'm babysitting with a couple of my friends. Since he's still a baby, he calls us all 'abba'. I consider him to be like a son." he laughed, his eyes twinkling under the cafe lights.

Maerin's heart soared upwards in to the sky. Just imagining the little baby made her happy. And the fact that Taemin wasn't married yet made her even happier.

"What's your name again? I don't think I caught it." Taemin said leaning forward, catching her off guard as she turned her head towards him.

"Maerin...." she breathed noticing how small the distance between them had become.

Unsure what to do, Maerin closed her eyes tightly as Taemin began to close the distance between them. Seeing her reaction, Taemin smiled and by kissing her nose. Shocked, and slightly disappointed, Maerin opened her eyes again to see Taemin's teasing face.

"Hey!" she whined as he pulled back and stood tall behind the counter.

"Your order is ready, miss Maerin." he said cutely as he handed her the food.

"text me!" he whisper shouted as she turned around to join Heejin and Seul Yi at a nearby booth.

She smiled and hurried to join her friends, passing by the flirting WooMi couple and a shy Bi Ah and Hoya.

"Guys, where's uri aegi?" Maerin asked as she counted up all the "kids". 

"That.....is a good question." Seul Yi said scanning the overly-crowded cafe for the shorter girl.

"I can't....see...her..." Heejin said as she stood on her tippy toes on the seat part of the booth.

"Has she ordered yet? Did she even meet the hott male cashiers and servers?" Seul Yi asked coyly while checking out Myung Soo, the barista.

Heejin and Maerin shared a look as Seul Yi's eyes stayed fixated on the barista with whom her heart lay.

Hee Jin shuddered as she watched Seul Yi give Myung Soo a flirtatious wink before partially turning her attention back to their food.

"I don't know....she disappeared while I was talking to Minseok...."Hee Jin said carefully sipping the caffe latte her boyfriend had made her.

Maerin searched for the tiny child, but could not find her in the bustling cafe. Meanwhile, Hana found herself inside the men's restroom in an attempt to escape from the terrifying eight-eyed monster that had dropped itself in front of the poor child's face. Screaming, she had ran forward in to the nearest room with a door, only to run into a tall giant who was equally as surprised as she was.

"I am SO sorry!" Hana squeaked, nervously backing away from the grinning giant in front of her.

"It's okay." he said smiling in a friendly way before Hana slipped out of the bathroom, her cheeks tinted red with embarassment.

She checked behind her to make sure that the tall giant wasn't following her and turned around to run straight into Ye Rin.

"Ack! Sorry Ye Rin!" Hana spluttered as she saw the tall giant come out of the bathroom from the corner of her eye.

She started panicking more when she saw him approaching them and hid behind an extremely confused Ye Rin. 

"Ye Rin Noona!!!"

Peeking out from behind Ye Rin, Hana saw the tall giant run towards Ye Rin with his arms wide open. Looking up, she saw Ye Rin's face blossom in to an expression of secret pleasure mixed with fake annoyance.

"Park Chanyeol!" she barked as he neared the two girls. "Not in public!!!" she hissed, unable able to hide the growing smile on her face as he wrapped her around in a  warm embrace.

Seeing the couple's skinship and lovey dovey relationship, Hana ran away (once again) and found herself in front of the cash register once again. This time, there was a different waiter standing in front of her. Hey, he's kinda cute... Hana blushed upon making eye contact with the blue haired boy.

"Hello! Welcome to NaMu's! How can I help you?" the cheery boy asked Hana with a heart-melting eye-smile.

Looking down shyly, Hana felt her cheeks flush as the cute waiter continued to look at her. 

"Uh....I-i-i'll take a mango smoothie with lychee jelly and today's special sandwich." she said unable to meet the handsome server's eyes.

ACK! WHY ARE YOU STUTTERING???? Idiot.

Hana mentally face-palmed herself and pretended to study the menu behind the good-looking server's head. Seeing Hana's face, he instantly smiled again and leaned over the counter. 

"And what might your name be, miss?" he asked closing in the distance between the two.

Hana's face flushed a deep shade of pink as her eyes made contact with his.

"H-h-hana." she squeaked breaking the eye contact by looking down at her shoes, her eyes wide and flustered.

He let out a laugh and ruffled her hair.

"Awwww! You're so cute, Hana! I'm Hoshi. Nice to meet you!!!" he said sticking out a hand for her to shake.

"N-n-nice to meet you too!" STOP STUTTERING IN FRONT OF THIS GUY, HANA!!!!

"Hey." her eyes shot up, meeting Hoshi's again. "I have my break in around five minutes. Wanna wait for me until then?"

"S-sure!"she squeaked again.

"Okay!" he grinned again, making butterflies appear in Hana's stomach once again. "It's a date!"

Upon the word date, Hana choked on her spit and keeled over in a coughing mess.

"OMG ARE YOU OKAY?!?!?"

Hoshi jumped over the counter and repeatedly patted Hana on the back to help her breathe again.

"Yeah...I just choked on my spit...." Hana said, face flushing a bright colour.

"Thank GOD." Hoshi turned around and jumped over the counter again.

"HYUNG!!! I'm taking my break early!!!" he shouted into the kitchen. 

A loud clanging and rustling noise followed by a couple of strange-soundning profanitiy-like words came back in response.

"....hyung? You okay in there?" Hoshi stuck his head in to the kitchen to find Hyun Mi in the kitchen instead of Woohyun.

"Oh! Hi Hyun Mi noona! Isn't Woohyun hyung supposed to be in here?" he asked scratching his head.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah. He went to the bathroom for a bit." she said pulling out yet another small pot.

"Which one of these are supposed to be used for the tapioca bubbles again?" she asked holding up a strainer and a pot used for noodles.

"Ahhhhmmmm.....I'm not....sure....." Hoshi looked around and unable to find anything, he pointed to the strainer. "Probably that one? Anyways, noona can you tell hyung that I'm taking my break time early?"

"Sure!" she said taking the strainer and dumping the cooked tapioca balls inside.

"Thanks!" Hoshi shot out of the kitchen and into the back room to hang up his apron.

"Oh! There's a new worker?" he mumbled seeing a name on the locker next to his. "Hana. Huh. That's the name of the cute girl waiting for me."

Hoshi smiled to himself and sprayed his favorite cologne on before checking himself out in the mirror.

"Fighting! I can do this cos NAEGAHOSH!"

"NAEGAHOSH!"

Hearing Hoshi shout this, Maerin doubled over in laughter. He's after another girl already? I wonder who it is this time...

Hearing the door to the back room open, Hoshi froze and turned his head to see Maerin laughing at him.

"NOONA!!!!" Hoshi flew to the door to slam it shut after Maerin came in and collapsed on the couch in laughter.

"Who's the unlucky girl this time?" she asked wiping the tears from her eyes.

"She's not unlucky! And for your information, I think she likes me back!" he said beaming at the thought of the little angel waiting for him at the counter.

Waiting. The counter.

"OMG NOONA I GOTTA GO! I LEFT HER AT THE COUNTER WITHOUT HER ORDER!!!!" he freaked out and jumped over the bench and out of the room.

Maerin shook her head and walked over to Hana's locker and opened it to find Hana's belonging still there.

Strange. I can't seem to find her anywhere....

She shut Hoshi's locker for him and locked the back door before going to the front counter. She turned around to find the cutest scene she had ever seen in her entire life. Hana and Hoshi were together, and Hoshi was approaching Hana from behind to give her a back hug. He wrapped his arms around the smaller's waist, causing a startled little jump from Hana.

"Thanks for waiting for me." he whispered, sending chills down Hana's spine.

"Seol Hana, right?"

Hana's eyes widened as she turned to face the stranger she had only met today.

"OMG Hana do you seriously not remember me? Kwon Soonyoung! We went to Haneul Elementary together!" he pouted, still not letting her go from the hug.

"KWON SOONYOUNG?!?!?" Hana's excitement in being reunited with her friend caused her to hug him back extremely tightly.

"Heol....they knew eachother?" Maerin said to herself, leaning on the counter.

"It looks like it." a deep voice said next to her ear.

Turning her head to face the voice, her lips were pecked by the owner of the voice.

"Starting today, it's Day 1." Taemin grinned seeing Maerin's flustered reaction.

"Ewwwww. No PDA here!" Xiumin teased as he passed by the newly-born TaeMaerin couple.

"Heejin-ah!!! Oppa's on break!!!" he pranced over to his girlfriend excitedly as she waved him over.

The cafe was still bustling with people late in the afternoon and the couples were scattered all over the place.

Bi Ah was seated in a booth across from Hoya, sharing a strawberry milkshake. The two were chatting quietly in a cute romantic sort of way. Hyun Mi and Woohyun were past the line of flirting over the counter and were currently feeding each other food. Taemin and Maerin were getting to know each other over a shared panini. Seul Yi and Myung Soo were nowhere to be found. Chanyeol and Ye Rin were unsuccessfully trying to sneak out of the cafe together. Heejin and Xiumin were together making a cute little cake in the kitchen. 

Hana looked around at all the couples and sighed. #ForeverAlone

"Hana!" her head shot up hearing the now-familiar voice of Hoshi, his smiling face causing an identical smile to grow on Hana's face.

The two had been childhood friends growing up, but they were separated when Hoshi had to move to Seoul for school.

"Hana....I have something important to tell you...."

"What is it?"

"I....I think I...."
