A sleepy Kyuhyun trudged into the cafe right after a chirpy Donghae. “Too hyper in this early morning.” Kyuhyun grumbles and Donghae just smiles. “It’s a new morning Kyuhyun.” He said, ruffling the younger’s hair. “You have to smile.” He emphasized with his hands.
“I don’t get why you are so chirpy.” Kyuhyun asked, settling down his bag in the office before hooking an apron onto his neck. “It’s like 5 in the morning.” “It’s 5.30.” Donghae corrected, rinsing his hands under the tap and heading towards the chiller to grab out stuff.
“Still too early..” Kyuhyun grumbles, shaking his head. “You are not happy because of that Hyukjae guy right?” Kyuhyun asked, stopping all movement to look at Donghae.
“N-no.” He stutters, getting caught. “What do you mean?”
“Ha! Knew it!” Kyuhyun exclaimed, smirking at Donghae’s red face.
“I have no idea what you are talking about.” Donghae denies.
“Donghae and Hyukjae sitting on a tree. K I S S I N G.” Kyuhyun sang, laughing and screaming when Donghae chased him with a spatula.
“Excuse me?” Hyukjae walked in on a ‘tom and jerry’ show, raising his brows in confusion when Kyuhyun smirked suggestively at him.
“Hi, Hyukjae~~.” Kyuhyun teased, waving his hands prettily in the air.
“Kyuhyun!” Donghae gritted, pinching Kyuhyun in the stomach to make him stop.
“Ouch.” He pouts. “Fine, I’ll stop now and go stir the sauce.” He said, snatching away the spatula from Donghae.
“Hey.” Donghae greets shyly. “I’ll show you around.” He said, gesturing for Hyukjae to come in.
“Leave your bag there and come with me.” He said to Hyukjae who followed suit. Donghae threw Hyukjae an apron before ushering him into the small, tiny kitchen. “Here. I’m sure you have met this fellow, his name is Kyuhyun.” Donghae introduced and Kyuhyun shot Hyukjae one more seductive smirk before chuckling and got back to work.
“Behave Kyuhyun.” He chides. “He is older than you.”
“Fine, I’ll behave but, he is clearing the tables later.” Kyuhyun demands and Donghae was immediately against it.
“It’s fine.” Hyukjae sounded, pulling Donghae back by his sleeve. “I’ll clear tables.” He nods and Donghae sighed before leading Hyukjae back outside.
The morning crowd started to come in and it was getting busier and busier every minute. Hyukjae was assigned to the sandwich section and was asked to cut the sandwiches before it should be served to customers. But, there was a problem.
Hyukjae had never used a knife ever in his life. He fumbles with the knife not even knowing which way he should hold it. After a few unstable cuts of sandwiches, his grip on the handle slips and cuts him in the finger, drawing blood as he pulls up the knife from his flesh. He gasped at the pain and immediately held his hand up and runs to the nearest basin.
“Here.” Donghae pushed a box of tissues to Hyukjae before asking him to sit in the office and take a rest. Donghae rushes back to the station to cut the sandwiches and double task the cashier and the sandwich section. Kyuhyun was too busy attending to the coffee machine that he didn’t even notice that he was stepping all over Hyukjae’s droplets of blood.
The crowd finally slowed down and they could take a breather. As Donghae breathe a sigh of relief, he remembered. “Hyukjae.” He mumbled and rushed towards the office. “How’s the finger?” He asked. Hyukjae looked down in embarrassment before mumbling a soft, “Ok.”
“You should have told me that you didn’t know how to hold a knife.”Donghae teased, bending down to take a look at the bloodied finger. “It should heal soon.” Donghae assured after he examines the wound and plastered a plaster over it. “Come. I’ll teach you how to cut.”
“Just hold the knife like this and the sandwich here.. And cut.” He demonstrated. “See, easy right?” He smiled and passed the knife to Hyukjae. “Now you try.” Hyukjae took the knife from Donghae a little uneasily, he shivers as the tingles filled his body.
“You will be fine.” Donghae assured with his smile. Hyukjae nods and grips the knife with his right hand and holding the bread in its place with his left. He takes a deep breath before his places the knife atop the bread. “Go on.” Donghae urged. With that Hyukjae nods and pushes the knife downwards.
“See. That wasn’t so bad was it?” Donghae asked, smiling softly at Hyukjae whose ears were red from embarrassment. “I’ll take the knife now.” Donghae said, brushing his hands over Hyukjae’s to get back the knife. Donghae could have sworn the Hyukjae uses some sort of lotion because his hands were the smoothest skin he ever felt. He chuckles a bit to himself, shivering at the tingles that ran through his body.
“The tables aren’t going to clean themselves you know?” Kyuhyun walked past them, voice hinting.
“I’ll clean it.” Hyukjae nods and walks outside to clean the dirty tables.
“What?!” Kyuhyun asked, hands in the air facing towards Donghae who was giving him a stare.
“Couldn’t you clean it?” Donghae asked, sneering at the grin on Kyuhyun’s face. “He was busy, learning.”
“Learning? More like you were busy checking him out.” Kyuhyun chuckled, barely dodging the hand that was flying to his head.
Donghae eyed Kyuhyun, staring dangerously at the younger. “Cho Kyuhyun.” Donghae grits and for once in Kyuhyun’s life, he felt scared. “You, ARE DOING THE DISHES TONIGHT!” Donghae yells, chasing Kyuhyun away with the knife that was in his hands. “Go disturb Sungmin for god sakes.” He sighs, finally getting Kyuhyun to go away.
“Sungmin is overseas so I only have you to bully!” He shouts from inside the kitchen, before pulling out his phone to call Sungmin, remembering that he could still bully Sungmin over the phone. But, he wouldn’t call it bullying when it comes to Sungmin. He calls it, affection.
About 30 seconds later and some utensils clinging onto the floor, Kyuhyun emerged from the kitchen with a pout (that was very unusual for him).
Donghae eyed him as he exited the kitchen and a smile crept up his lips. “Sungmin hung up on you?” He teased. “Served you right.” He laughed.

“Hey, where do you stay?” Donghae asked Hyukjae as Kyuhyun was locking up the main door to the cafe.
“It’s around here.” Hyukjae replied, adjusting his bag on his shoulder. “I’ll get going now.” He bows and retreats to one of the side streets.
“You are not thinking of following him right?” Kyuhyun questions, waving his hands in front of Donghae’s face to gain his attention but Donghae’s eyes never deterred away from the lone figure that was walking away.
“I should follow him.” “No!” Kyuhyun objects, jumping in front of Donghae to stop him. “You don’t want to scare him do you?” He asked.
Donghae frowns. “But, it’s so dark there!” He points at the street that Hyukjae was walking into. “What if he gets kidnap and bad things happen?” He asked, flustered. “You are such a kid Hyung.” Kyuhyun kids. “If anyone needs someone to walk them home, it’s you.” He jokes and flings his arm over Donghae shoulders holding him.
“If anything happens to Hyukjae, I’m holding you accountable.” Donghae grumbles.

“Min~~” Kyuhyun whines on the phone, squirming on the bed as he holds the phone to his ears. “Talk to me~~” Pulling the last word a little longer than it should.
Kyuhyun, I’m busy. I’ll call you back ok?
“Please~~?” Kyuhyun whines again, pushing his luck a little to much. “It’s been 2 days since we talked.”
Kyuhyun, I’m busy.
“Fine.” Kyuhyun finally gives up, fuming a little as he sits up on the bed, pushing aside all the aegyo his was doing. “Are you going to come back soon?” He asked.
In 3 days time Kyu. I promise that I will make it up to you ok?
“You better.” He huffs.
I have to go. I’ll talk to you soon.
“Love you.”
You know I do too.
And once Sungmin blew kisses to Kyuhyun over the phone, Kyuhyun melted and smiled. “Goodnight.”
