Ten felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist as he was wiping the dusty windows of Neo Café. He paused on his work and cleared his throat awkwardly, not even wanting to face the other. "Johnny, I'm working."


Johnny had been constantly visiting in the shop and is always tailing Ten. One look at him, you won't even expect that he's a clingy man. It made Ten uncomfortable but he can't tell his childhood bestfriend since he might hurt him, and a conflict is the last thing he needed in his life.


The worse thing was that Lucas has been extremely busy in school. Bombed with group projects and assignments, the younger seldom find time for Ten.

He looked up at the latter and he was more surprised when he saw that smirk on his lips while his bestfriend was exchanging meaningful looks with Taeyong. Ten's gut feeling telling him that something fishy is going on but he can't tell what it is.


"He's right, Ten. I have stories lined up for you!," Johnny held him by his waist and turned him so they can be face-to-face.
