wooseok made it to the cafe after picking up some snacks at the 7-eleven nearby. the familiar ring of the bell chimed as he opened the door. he saw minhee by the counter and another barista by jinhyuk's normal register.

"hi wooseok hyung! looking for jinhyuk?" minhee asked, smiling brightly at him.

wooseok nodded, not realizing that a light shade of pink was forming on his cheeks.

"he's changing in the back. he just came back from picking up his son" minhee said, "you probably want jinhyuk to take your order, don't you?"

wooseok felt a little bad for minhee and decided to let minhee take his order, just for today. he ordered his classic iced americano to keep him awake for the rest of the evening.

"wooseok! sorry to keep you waiting" jinhyuk said, running up to his register.

"i-it's fine. you didn't keep me waiting at all" wooseok said, smiling at the taller.

"hey! did minhee take your order?" jinhyuk asked, eyeing the receipt in wooseok's hand.

wooseok nodded, making jinhyuk pout. wooseok found his pout the cutest thing in the world. man he was whipped for jinhyuk.

"kang minhee! you're not supposed to take wooseok's order! he's mine!" jinhyuk exclaimed, smacking the younger's shoulder.

"ow ow hyung! what is wrong with you? wooseok wanted me to take his older just for today! it's not my fault you change so slow!" minhee said, rolling his eyes as he swatted jinhyuk away from him.

wooseok watched as the scene unfold in front of him. minhee was trying to brew wooseok's coffee while jinhyuk kept nagging at him and asking why minhee even offered to take his order. that made wooseok's heart skip a beat. was jinhyuk, jealous?

"here's your iced americano wooseok hyung" minhee said, handing him the beverage. minhee wanted to roll his eyes at jinhyuk for still nagging at him for taking wooseok's order.

"you're so immature hyung! wooseok is all yours, okay? i already have a boyfriend, i promise you!" minhee said, pushing jinhyuk off of him.

wooseok let out a soft laugh. he sipped on his drink as he watched minhee desperately try to get jinhyuk off of him. they technically couldn't get fired since jinhyuk was the boss here. jinhyuk couldn't fire minhee if he wanted to either.

"sorry about that. i wanted to teach minhee a lesson" jinhyuk said as he went back to his register.

"are you that jealous?" wooseok asked, giggling after he asked that.

"n-no! of course not!" jinhyuk quickly denied, "you're my customer after all and i wanted to take your order"

"but you made such a big deal out of it" wooseok said, sipping on his coffee.

"yeah hyung! you even threatened to kill my boyfriend if i took another one of wooseok's orders" minhee exclaimed, throwing his hands everywhere.

"hehe. maybe i took it a little bit too far?" jinhyuk questioned, smiling as he shrugged his shoulders.

"a little?!"
