Bitter Coffee Day​

The sky is grey and covered by clouds.
San is lying on the couch of his apartment, just gotten home from work.
He closes his eyes and sighs.
"What a day..." he says to himself.

Today, it had been a bitter day at the coffee shop, he is working at.
He had not gotten enough sleep last night, so he felt tired all day.
He got scolded by a middle aged woman, when he gave her the hot chocolate with the whipped cream, when she ordered it without.
He apologized to her, but the woman scolded him more and called him an idiot.

He doesn't feel like doing anything else than just take a nap and then maybe go read a book afterwards.
Then he hears his smartphone vibrating on the table next to the couch.
His heart starts beating fast as if it is about to explode, hoping that it is a text from his boyfriend, Wooyoung.
He gets off the couch and walks towards the table.
He grabs the phone.
But it's his friend, Yunho, texting him.
"Hey San :)" his friend writes. "Do you want to go over to my house and play some video games?"
He looks at the text message. disappointed.
"No thanks." he responds. "I don't feel like it today."
"OK then." his friend writes back. "I'll ask Mingi instead."
He puts his phone back on the table and decides to get himself a mug of coffee.

He sits at the kitchen table with the mug in front of him.
As he takes a sip from it, he frowns from it's bitter taste.
So he pours a tea spoon of sugar in it, hoping that it will turn sweeter.

His phone vibrates again.
He sighs.
"Probably Yunho again."
Then he sees that it is a text message from Wooyoung.
"Hi baby <3" his boyfriend types. "Been a rough day?"
His face turns pink and a smile appears on his face.
"Yes, it has been a rough day." he responds.
"Maybe I could make your day better by coming over with chocolate and cuddles~~"
Butterflies start tickling in his stomach. "I can't wait. <3"
He has a huge smile on his face.
He takes a sip of the coffee, which has turned sweeter from the sugar.
For him, Wooyoung is like sugar that makes his bitter coffee day sweeter.
