Mia here. Not MIA, Mia. And here's my story about the guy I found cute and tried numerous times to talk to finally talking to me. You'll be in for a ride with my best friends HImchan, Junhong and Jaz. There's the boy Daehyun too. And a couple of other unnescessary people coming along our way.

“For goodness sake Himchan will you hurry up?” Himchan pounded on the door.

A sigh involuntarily left my lips, “Remind me why I thought a sleepover at your place would be a good idea.”

Pouring scrambled eggs on the sizzling pan the scent of hash brown and sausages wafted in the air as I continued watch over them on my stool. Himchan had been kind enough to give me his bed because of my ankle while he took Daehyun into the living room. Guilt has bought me into the kitchen to make breakfast for all.

“Mm, smells divine.” Came the honey voiced man. Droplets of water dripped from his hair onto Daehyun’s shirt. Sun kissed skin and gleaming brown eyes so early in the morning were bound to lose my composure.

“Morning, now make yourself useful and load the toaster will you?”

“As you wish,” the lad strode past and did as asked in a comfortable silence. The sound of crockery to wood came soon after, it was nice of him to set the table too. “Mia, you’ve got a phone call from.”

“Just leave it on speaker on the counter, my hands are full.” I called over the extraction fan. Leaving my phone on speaker beside me the lad reached over to turn the fan off. Himchan’s gonna be pissed at the smell. “Morning Youngjae, can you do me a favour?”

“Sure, as long as you fill me in on why you eloped with Daehyun last night.” The idiot chimed from the other side. A snort resounded behind me as I resembled a tomato.

“That could be us but you keep saying no Jae.” Daehyun laughed softly.

“I have standards. By the way, Jaz is losing her because you’re missing and Daehyun’s parents dropped by to ask about your escape driver.”

“We were just having a sleepover at Himchan and Yongguk’s place. Tell Jaz I’m okay and I’ll see her at uni soon. Also, could you grab my binder book for me, please? Today’s coffee’s on me.”

“Daehyun’s rubbing off on you, I like it-”

“And you don’t like me?” the cheeky culprit chimed, pressing closer to my shoulder. A Cheshire cat grin spreading wider knowing the light blush that filled my café.

“See you at uni Mia.” The call ended with a plop on the other side. Daehyun’s expression at being ignored by his friend was hilarious but the mark to his pride was cut short with the toaster popping bread on time.

“Ooh, what’s this? For me?” Himchan smiled while walking in. Just in time, I was plating up everything from the pan.

“Only the best repayment for your hospitality.” I grinned. “Could you bring this to the table.” With that, the four of us sat down for breakfast. A pot of coffee finished along with playful banter. An unhealthy American-style breakfast using everything from Himchan’s freezer and Yongguk’s beloved eggs was all devoured in twenty minutes, hums of pleasure and compliments to my cooking thrown in the air again. I’m glad I can be of some use to my friends, I rely on them too much. The residents took it upon themselves to load the dishwasher while Daehyun and I packed for uni.
