Foreword
Kyungsoo stirs the nearly black coffee with slight sweetener added and picks the cup up only half satisfied. He doesn't know if Kai likes it or not. "Here you go..." Kyungsoo mumbles as he sets the hot cup in front of Kai. The taller's eyes seem to brighten as soon as he sees the image on the cup and looks up to stare at Kyungsoo.
"Hyung! The cup! How'd you know I love Pororo?" Kai asks childishly. Kyungsoo chuckles at Kai's cute obliviousness and ruffles his hair.
"Dummy, you have a Pororo patterned phone case, umbrella and scarf. How would I not know?" Kai giggles then turns his focus to the coffee again.
"What is this?" Kai pouts and points at the cup.
"Something. You have to drink it to know" Kyungsoo smiles mischeviously-almost. Kai an eyebrow but brings the cup up to his lips slowly. As soon a the liquid fills his Kai's mouth, Kyungsoo sees his eyebrows furrow and eyes squint shut. Kyungsoo purses his lips, worried that Kai wouldn't like it. Kai brings the cup back down and puffs his cheeks with sad eyes.
"I don't like it, hyung" Kyungsoo's heart drops. Kai smiles again, though. "But that's okay! Because starting from now, you're going to make me something to drink everyday during our break and you have to guess what I want until you guess it right!" Kai's eyes shine, clearly happy-or excited. Kyungsoo tilts his head, confused as to why Kai would want to do this when he could just simply tell him what he wanted. Kyungsoo just shrugs it off though because Kai will be Kai and Kai is one of a kind.

Baekhyun sits up in the comfy chair while leaning his elbows against the sanded mahogany table. He lets his eyes wander the modern café, inspecting little details. He's happily relaxed until he spots a head of blondish-orange curls from the corner of his eyes. He ignores it, thinking that it's no big deal. He doesn't feel the gaze lift for a long time though.
"Hey Yixing, do you ... feel someone staring at us?" Baekhyun says the last part hushed into a whisper.
"No" Yixing answers simply, without looking up from his phone. Baekhyun turns in the direction of the vibrant colour and he sees the head of hair flop down behind a spread out newspaper. 'How strange...' Baekhyun thinks, cocking his head to the side as he watches the newspaper crinkle. He averts his gaze and pretends to look away. From the corner of his eyes he sees the head of hair peek up from the newspaper again. He acts as if he doesn't notice. Baekhyun is suspicious now, as to why the head of curls is staring at him so secretly. Baekhyun stalls for a bit longer not feeling the heat of the gaze lift off him, until he relies on response and snaps his head to the direction mind-blowingly quickly. He meets the owner of the curls' eyes and he's instantly mesmerized. The other boy staring at him looks no older than Baekhyun. He has big doe eyes, and Baekhyun is unconsciously falling into the beautiful stranger's hypnotizing gaze. Baekhyun's mouth opens and closes but he doesn't have anything to say. Before he could even mutter up the courage to think of something though, the stranger stands up flustered and runs out the door.
