Key never called, and several days passed before Minho pushed it out of his mind. Maybe he was just being silly, or maybe even rude and Minho had just fallen for it. Either way he was a little disappointed it hadn't lead him to an outside meeting with the boy.  He remembered what Taemin had said about a blog and posting what he liked on it and Minho searched for anything that could be it.  He looked up the cafe name under different searches, and even hunted around on some of the more popular social media sites but found nothing.  He even tried to pick up a few food magazines to see if he could find Taemin’s article, but he just didn't have enough information to find anything.  He made up his mind to try and bring it up again next time Taemin came in. 

But Thursday came and went and Minho had to throw out the classic blueberry muffin that he had saved just for Taemin. And he did the same for several weeks after.

Eventually, Taemin started to come in again more regularly but it seemed like so was every one else.  The shop always got more popular in the colder seasons but this was more than they had ever seen. There were even several times that Taemin's table was taken up by the time he came in.  He started sitting in a loft seat still near the window but much more secluded, and out of sight from the coffee bar.  If they interacted at all it was brief when Taemin ordered, and he seemed distracted, nothing like the bubbly sweetness he usually seemed to emit.
