"Why don't you go talk to him instead of staring like a creep?"

Hunter jumped out of his gaze and glared at his friend and coworker. The red haired male giggled at Hunter's startled expression.

"It's so obvious you think he's cute. Go talk to him!" Yechan smiled, shoving his friends shoulder playfully.

"Yechan! Shush!!" The older whined. His face was slightly flushed. He glanced at the male in the corner of the café, his face focused on the screen in front of him, the glow of the computer bouncing off his features, the warm coffee in his hand.

"Hi there! What can I get for ya?" Hunter smiled brightly at the customer. Said customer shyly slinked up to the counter.

With a soft smile and a light pink dusting his cheeks, the customer ordered his usual vanilla bean coffee with extra cream and sugar.

"And can I get a name for your order?" the barista behind the counter asked, plugging everything into the register.

"O-oh.. Minjae. K-Kim Minjae.." the customer replied quietly, handing his card over to pay.

Hunter smiled warmly, handing his card back. "Thanks! It'll be out in a few!"

Blinking out of the memory, the taller barista smiled a little.

"Oh my god, dude, you're so whipped already," Yechan grumbled playfully.

"Am not!!" Hunter defended, his hands up in surrender. "He's just.. cute, okay?"

The younger chuckled and stood on his toes to pat Hunter's head. "Okay, so go tell him!"

"Are you two gossiping on the job again?" A voice coming from the back room startled the two baristas.

Yechan giggled and ran up to their manager. "Hyung! Hunter thinks a customer is cute!" the youngest smiled.

Hunter huffed, a blush dushing his cheeks. "Really, Yechan??"

The shortest stuck his tongue out at the taller, smiling.

Their manager watched this interaction with a slight smile. "Are you two supposed to be fawning over customers, or serving them coffee?" he hummed.

"Sorry, Junghoon-Hyung," Hunter bowed slightly. "I'll get back to work."

Junghoon smiled and patted his head. "Yea, I'm sure you will," he eyed the youngest next to him, "You though, probably won't. Ineventory for you." he chuckled upon seeing Yechans smile fade.

"Hyunnggg!! C'monnn it's not like anyone's here!" the maknae whined, following his manager into the back. Inventory wasn't actually that bad, as Junghoon would do it with him often, but he wanted to see if Hunter made a move.

Hunter watched with a smile watching the youngest trail after the older, then turned back around to the front.

His gaze caught the male in the corner, still focused on his computer screen, sipping his coffee every now and then. The barista smiled.

His face flushed in embarrassment when he noticed the customer glance up at him, and quickly glance back down to his computer, but he didn't miss the way the male had also blushed a deep red.

Hunter smiled a little. "Cute.."

Looking around, the barista picked up a scone and placed it on a plate. On a napkin, he wrote his number and a cute little message, before walking over to the male.

"Excuse me, I don't mean to bother you when you are so focused, but I figured you might be getting hungry," Hunter smiled warmly, handing Minjae the plate with the scone.

The focused male glanced up, and his face flushed a bit again when he saw Hunter standing there.

"O-oh.. Thank you.." he started pulling out his wallet. He was getting a bit hungry.

Hunter smiled and set the plate down, shaking his head at the wallet. "Its on the house, cutie.." the barista waved and walked back behind the counter. Once he was back there, he dropped the confidence and freaked out slightly. "I just called him 'cutie'.. oh gosh.."

Minjae had blushed furiously at the added nickname, and he looked down at the scone. 'Did he just call me cute..? No, he probably meant soemthing else.. Right??'

Picking up the plate, Minjae munched on the snack, glancing back to his computer. The corner of his eye caught the napkin, and he glanced at it, seeing writing.

'Hey, I think you're pretty cute. Call me? xxx-xxx-xxxx'

Just as the older's face had calmed down, it heated back up again. This cute barista just gave him his number.. Somebody actually thought he was cute?

He looked up at the counter, smiling shyly at the thought.

Hunter had also looked up at the male at the same time, blushing and waving warmly.

Minjae giggled a little and waved back. He grabbed his phone and saved the number in his phone. 'Cute Barista🤭'

xxx-xxx-xxxx
hey..

Cute Barista🤭
Omg, hi!

Save contact: 'Cutie💝'

Cutie💝
Soo.. When does your shift end?

Minjae mentally face palmed when he sent the text, embarrassed by his own awkwardness.

Hunter giggled behind the counter, he thought it was kind of cute.

Cute Barista🤭
In about an hour or so. If you're done studying by then, we can hang out?

Cutie💝
Yea totally!

Minjae smiled at his phone, then clicked it off and turned back to his computer. Internally though, he was freaking out in a good way, nervous for their hang out.

The barista smiled behind the counter. After making sure there weren't any customers waiting for a drink, he went in back to tell Yechan about what happened. He knew the younger would love this.
