Timeline: February 2021

It has been three days since my mall date with Heyoung-ya. I've been staring at my phone looking at our group chat–clearly teasing me about Heyoung, ever since they found out that I had a thing for her.

Currently, I'm at a cafe called Gemini, which is located a few blocks from HYBE–Heyoung recommended this cafe to me. I'm waiting for my turn to order since there is a long line, maybe this cafe is famous.

After a few minutes, it was my turn to order. I glanced at their menu and ordered a doughnut and Iced Americano. I was thinking of maybe treating Heyoung-ya again, but I didn't know what to order–a sudden cough woke me up from my deep thoughts.

"If it's for Heyoung-ssi, she always orders white mocha frappe and pesto here at our cafe." The lady on the counter said.

I glanced at her, "Really?"

"Yep, she's been one of my regular customers ever since she posted about my cafe on her Instagram." She said, "Do you want me to place the order?"

I nodded at her, "Make it to go–" I glanced at her name tag and saw her name. "Eunhye-ssi"

She smiled at me briefly before turning her attention back to the machine in front of her.

"Is there anything you would like to add?" She asked.

I simply thought of my members. Maybe I should treat them just for today–I ordered another Iced Americano for my members.

Eunhye-ssi simply put it on the machine again, and she prepared my order.

"Here's your doughnut and Iced Americano. I will serve your other orders later." Eunhye-ssi said as she gently placed my order on the tray.

I thanked her once again and now, looking for a place to sit.

I stared out the window, minding the quiet street–peacefully drinking the iced americano and eating the doughnut.

I really like the vibes of this cafe–it's giving me a chill that tells me to relax. I really appreciate that Heyoung recommended this cafe when I asked her last time.

I was minding my business when a notification buzzed on my phone–it seemed like the SEVENTEEN group chat woke up. I was about to mute the group chat, but Minghao's chat made something inside me boil. I immediately type my reply to it.

=====

After I got my order, I left the cafe and went to HYBE–carrying the food that I bought for Heyoung and the members.

As the HYBE Building came into my view, I immediately went into the security system–the hard part of this building.

Afterwards, I got into the elevator and pressed the button where the production team was. When I got there, I went to the production team's office.

The first thing that I saw upon opening the door was the chaos of the room–papers, running people, and other unknown people. However, amid the chaos, was Heyoung sitting on her desk–focused on her computer but with a happy look on her face. I shift my focus to her side. A man is standing beside her desk–holding a coffee in his hand while talking to Heyoung.

"Oh Coups-ssi?"

I suddenly looked at the voice calling me and saw Aerum-noona walking towards me.

"What are you doing here?" Aerum-noona asked me as she stood beside me.

"Delivering food," I said as I showed her the food that I bought for Heyoung.

I don't know how to give it to Heyoung because she seems to be focused on her work, and I don't want to interrupt her.

I thought for a bit and I looked at Aerum-noona. "Noona, do you have a pen and a sticky note?"

Noona nodded and took out a pen and a sticky note from her pockets. I quickly wrote it down on the sticky words that I wanted to say to Heyoung.

I ordered your favorite from the Gemini Cafe that you recommended to me. I hope this will brighten your day and your stomach, Heyoung-ya :) - Scoups

"Noona, can you give this to Heyoung-ya," I said as I finished writing down the sticky note. Noona took the food that I bought for Heyoung as I left the production office.

I really hope Heyoung will love it.
