hangyul found himself blanking out the next day. he messed up the icing on the cake multiple times and almost found himself dropping a customer's order. the scene yesterday kept replaying in his head. the way seungyoun held him and the way he touched him— that made his heart swell.

"boss" minhee poked the older's shoulder, "what's wrong with you today?"

hangyul shook his head for the tenth time this afternoon, "nothing minhee, don't worry. and what did i say about calling me boss—"

"i'll keep calling you that until you tell me what's wrong" minhee crossed his arms with a mini pout on his face, "what happened in the office yesterday? did you two get all touchy touchy?"

hangyul smacked minhee's shoulder, "forget about it if you're going to keep teasing me"

"hyung!" hangyul let out a sigh before explaining everything to the younger boy. minhee was always there for the gossip anyways and he was sure he was going to end up telling eunsang and yunseong as well.

"so did you say yes?" minhee asked, holding back a squeal.

hangyul flushed red, "i-i did"

the dolphin piercing squeal broke through the bakery, making the customers look at them in confusion while hangyul put his hand over minhee's mouth, "s-shut up"

minhee pulled hangyul's hand away from his mouth and grabbed his shoulders, "you're finally going to get laid!"

"why are you so happy about that?" hangyul glared at minhee who was smiling from ear to ear.

"because we're going to have little babies running around the cafe obviously!"

"oh my god minhee—" his cheeks turned impossibly redder as he turned away to fix the trays on the counter.

"so when's the date?" minhee asked, wagging his imaginary tail like he was a dog.

"tonight" hangyul answered, running a hand through his hair, "wonder if he's actually serious about this"

minhee hummed, wiping the counter, "he's probably serious if he really means it. he seems like the person who wants to court you hyung"

"he better not ask me to marry him or else i'm going to have a heart attack" hangyul mumbled, "though that would be nice"

"i can't wait to see you on the news" minhee teased, giggling at the red faced chef, "you're going to turn famous. don't forget to mention us when you get famous" he faked wiped a tear.

hangyul chuckled, "i wouldn't forget you guys. even if we did get married or anything, i wouldn't leave this place. it's my dream to be here. though we shouldn't be thinking about getting married or anything because the odds are impossible"

minhee found himself getting teary and engulfing the older in a big hug, "i'll beat mr. ceo's ass for you if he ever hurts you hyung"

"please do" hangyul giggled mischievously. he let the taller go, getting back to work and humming a melody that he remembered was in one of seungyoun's old songs. time flew by and his afternoon shift was over.

he skipped home, taking a shower and changing into some casual clothes. he talked to dohyon on the phone for a bit, who was happily telling him about what he did with jinwoo and such.

"—and uncle wooseok and uncle jinhyuk took me and jinwoo to the plushie store mommy!" dohyon's voice chimed through the phone.

hangyul smiled, "did you get anything baby?"

"w-well uncle jinhyuk got me a lil dino plushie and jinwoo got a pink one! and when we got home, we ate mommy's milk bread!"

"did you share with jinwoo?" hangyul asked, pouring himself a cup of water and drinking it down. he had to calm his beating heart in the next two hours before seungyoun arrived at his place.

"i did mommy!" dohyon exclaimed, "right jinnie?"

he heard jinwoo mumble a small yes, "i'll make sure to make jinwoo his sugar cookies the next time you come over"

"jinwoo said thank you mommy!" dohyon practically yelled through the phone making hangyul chuckle. he wondered how a quiet boy got along with his loud son.

"mommy has a date tonight dohyon" hangyul said, walking over to his bed with his phone in his hand. he covered himself in his blanket and rested his head on his feathery soft pillow.

"with mister ceo?" dohyon asked curiously.

hangyul hummed, "mommy is scared, but don't tell him okay?"

"i won't!" dohyon replied, "don't be scared mommy! if he breaks your heart then i'll bite him with my fangies!"

hangyul let out a soft giggle, "alright my little vampire. mommy is going to rest now okay? have fun with jinwoo. i'll pick you up tonight baby"

"bye mommy! i love you!"

"i love you too" hangyul replied, heart fluttering at his cute son as he hung up the phone, holding it tightly to his chest.

that was when he realized he hadn't chosen an outfit or gotten his makeup done, or styled his hair. he got up and picked a casual outfit— a pair of ripped black jeans and an oversized hoodie that almost reached half his thigh.

he took at himself in the mirror, mumbling something about how weird he felt. seungyoun didn't exactly tell him how to dress. did he even care? he put on some light makeup— a little bit of eyeliner. he took a look at the time, realizing that seungyoun would be in front of his apartment at any second. that just only made his heart beat faster than before.

"why are you beating so hard?" hangyul mumbled, lightly punching his chest like an idiot as he rolled around on the couch, "stop it!"

he just might be going crazy, but his heart didn't stop beating. it just got faster and faster and then it stopped when the doorbell rang. hangyul hesitantly opened the door, sweater paws covering his hands as he turned the doorknob, revealing a handsome— as always— seungyoun.

"ready?" no he wasn't ready. he wasn't ready to have a heart attack and end up in the emergency room.
