This was cute =).
Yixing was especially adorable, particularly when he was making his chuchuchu noises (because his chuchuchu noises are the best)!

minseok making his dreams come true but still having financial trouble and lacking passion, jongdae with his nagging care who has passion in excess

COFFEE KISSES
YES GOOD
