⋆ ˚｡⋆୨ Cafe meet ୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

"A cup of coffee would be the best way to start my day." Beomgyu had a bounce to his steps as he headed towards the nearest café he could find in the route he usually took by the bus, but today he was early and the weather was nice; so he thought about taking a 20 minutes walk instead.

He was having a good morning so far, thanks to Yeonjun's surprisingly nice behavior.

As he walked ahead, his eyes fell on a recently opened cafe named "Blue Spring".

"Was this cafe here before? The name sounds interesting....let's try it today." Beomgyu thought as he entered the cafe, the bell over the door chiming; indication a visitor was here.

"Hello, welcome to Blue Spring cafe! How may I serve you today?" A cheerful looking girl said from behind the counter, and Beomgyu trudged inside with a smile at that.

"Hello! I would like an Iced lattee please, size medium with a shot of Vanilla!" Beomgyu placed his order with a smile, leaning over the counter, waiting for his order.

His eyes scanned the café. It was a pastel blue themed café with white furniture and cute picture taking space. The menu also seemed to have some special cute baked stuff, which Beomgyu was definitely buying next time.

"Here's your order Sir! Your name?" The employee asked to write his name on the cup.

"Choi Beomgyu." Beomgyu replied without any hesitation, taking the lattee from the girl's hand.

When he turned around, he didn't realise there was someone else behind him and got startled, almost spilling his lattee on the person.

"Oh my! Sorry for startling you like that." The person, who was a woman clad in a work suit and long dark hair, her doe eyes adorned with glasses, looked at Beomgyu; apologizing for startling him.

"Ah it's fine." Beomgyu quickly got back his balance and bowed to the lady, before walking out of the café. He didn't wanted to be late today.

"Choi Beomgyu...? Seems like I've heard that name somewhere." The woman mumbled to herself, moving forward to make her order.

"An iced-americano please, size small. Thankyou." She replied, paying with her card.

"Your name Miss?" The employee asked.

"Jiwon. Lee Jiwon." The woman replied.

"Alright! Your order will be here in seconds!" The employee said, smiling at her as well, while Jiwon wondered where she had heard the name Choi Beomgyu.

"Choi Beom...gyu...Choi...oh wait! Choi Beomgyu?! Yeonjun's husband?"

"Kai, you're called by the team manager, please go to the office." Junkyu, Kai's coworker and new friend informed him, interrupting his typing session.

"The team manager? Why?" Kai asked, not knowing why he was called.

"No idea. Something related to Mr.Antarctica." Junkyu supplied.

"Mr.Antarctica? You mean Mr.Kang?" Kai asked for confirmation.

"Yes him." Junkyu nodded in answer.

"Oh my god, did I mess up something? The papers from yesterday probably? Shit... what do I do?" Kai panicked, shaking Junkyu's shoulders to which Junkyu whined.

"Kai calm down...even tho Mr.Antarctica can kill you, don't be afraid! Go ahead and see what the team manager has to say about him. I have to go. See you later!" Junkyu said removing Kai's hands from his shoulders, saying in a hurry and running off to god knows where.

Kai groaned in response. Was he doomed today? Soobin was definitely a bad luck.

"Why did I come with Soobin even?" Kai whined, but sucked it up and straightened his back, heading towards the team manager's office.

"Hey Kai!" While Kai was heading towards the Team Manager's office, his senior from his team called him, handing him a coffee cup.

"Give this to Mr.Seo since you're already going there." The man said, running off without even letting Kai have a chance to speak.

"I- " Kai's words stayed stuck to his throat, and now he had no choice but to take the coffee and deliver it himself. Being an intern sucks sometimes.

His day was definitely shit today.

He sighed and walked ahead, now standing infront of the door.
"May I come in?" He asked, knocking on the door, only to be met with silence.

It confused him, so he knocked once again, still no response.

"Huh? That's strange." Kai mumbled and decided to enter the room either ways, but when he tried to push the door open from outside; someone pushed the door from inside, making him stumble on his steps; and being the clumsy man he was, he obviously spilled the coffee he had in his hands on the person who opened the door.

"Oh my god!" Kai's eyes widened in horror as soon as he saw who was the person he spilled the coffee on.

Kang Taehyun aka the aforementioned Mr.Antarctica.

"Fuck.." Kai cursed under his breath, panicking and pulling out his handkerchief immediately.

"I-i'm so Sorry Mr.Kang...a-ah, I ruined your shirt.. I'm so terribly sorry!" Kai cried, reaching his hand out to wipe the excess coffee from Taehyun's now soiled shirt. Thankgod it was an iced coffee or else he would have invited chaos.

Taehyun was standing there frozen, not being able to decipher all the action happening at once.

First, he just saw Kai, his angel; second, he bumped into him! And third, they're very close and Kai is helping him. Yeah his brain skipped the coffee on his shirt part.

A blush creeped up Taehyun's cheeks and as soon as he regained his composure, he grabbed Kai's wrist, stopping him.

"Stop, you're ruining it even more." Taehyun replied assertively, despite the inner turmoil inside his heart. If there was something he was good at, it was hiding his real emotions.

"O-oh um sorry Mr. Kang...I-" Kai now stood there awkwardly, mumbling apologies; and when he realized Taehyun was holding his wrist, he also noticed their closed proximity and blushed furiously in embarrassment. He wanted the ground to swallow him whole right now.

Seeing Kai's awkward state, Taehyun also realized he was holding Kai's wrist and immediately let go, averting his eyes.

"It's fine, I have plenty of other shirts." Taehyun said, making Kai sigh in relief. At least he didn't get scolded by Taehyun, because as far as he knew, both the CEO and his secretary were cold af and didn't hesitate to ruin someone's day.

"Alright, sorry again Mr. Kang." Kai said with a bow, and was about to leave when Taehyun stopped him again.

"Stop." Taehyun muttered.

"Yes Mr. Kang?" Kai asked nervously. Why was he stopping him again? Then remembered he was called by the team manager to talk about something related to Mr.Kang.

"I have something to ask you about." Taehyun said, standing straight, his ruined shirt long forgotten.

"Follow me to my office." He added before walking ahead, leaving Kai to follow.

"Yes Sir." Kai nodded and followed Taehyun like an obedient puppy.

He's definitely doomed today.
