coffee shop 。

@ΣΥΤ ³ junseong @ΔΧΛ ³ woosung @ΔΧΛ ² dejun *as an appointment is set, I get into the coffee shop and looks around as it's odd for this place to still be empty at this hour, shrugging I proceed to take a seat and look at everyone*
Hello~
*smiles at all of you and takes a drink that Jun hyung passed around*
*listens to him intently and nods slowly*
Okay. . . I got that part when we went on a trip. And hyung, as I said, no matter who you are or what you do, you have my full support and love, okay?
*smiles softly as I hold your hand and squeeze it gently before pulling mine away*
And to be honest, this is my first time in this kind of set up, so just enlighten me on the do's and don't's or whatnot.
*chuckles a bit as I rub my nape*
Also, I'm Hwanwoong, if you guys do not know that. I'm a freshman major in dance, currently completing signatures to be a part of Sigma, and like Jun hyung, I'm also a bastard but I was left by my biological mother in front of my father's house who is married. They took me in thinking that I'll inherit their electronics company but I refuse to do so, I'm only sticking around with them because they support my education but after that, I'm out. They leave me most of the time, we have a house on the south coast and I'd love for all of us to be there sometime to unwind.
*eye smile, takes a sip of my drink*

@ΣΥΤ ¹ hwanwoong Ⓟ @ΔΧΛ ³ woosung @ΔΧΛ ² dejun *has secretly rented out the coffee shop so no other customers will come in and interrupt us*
*comes back to the table with a tray of the drinks everyone wanted and desserts too, passing them out to you all*
*glances at the barista, who quickly disappears into the backroom and closes the door*
Okay. *takes a seat and sips his frappe a bit nervously but trying to hide it*
Okay... I should probably go first...
Honesty is key in relationships, and I don't wanna keep you guys in the dark...
*traces the pattern on the table with his fingertip*
I understand if it's too much for any of you, and there's no hard feelings if any or all of you want to back away...
*sighs and runs a hand through his hair*
I was um... born into the mafia... my father is a mob boss, and my grandfather was before him...
*lets out a deep sigh, unable to meet anyone's eyes, so he just keeps staring at the table*
I'm a bastard...I don't know who my mother is. My father didn't want me, but grandpa convinced him I could be useful...
He married Jihoon's mom, and he's their baby. The golden child if you will. I'm responsible for him and everything he does... any mistakes he makes will be considered my fault, and I'll be the one punished...

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun *nods slowly as I continue to sip on my drink*
That's a nice thing to hear, at least I don't feel that much pressure to join any of the frats around.
*smiles softly and my mouth forms an o shape*
That's okay too. I think that's also how you contribute to the growth of your frat, just like a club back in high school.
*flashes an eye smile at your question*
They do. I'm liking everyone here, even you hyung, everyone has been so kind and welcoming, I'm starting to like this place.
*continues to take a sip, places my drink down*
Hyung, I'll just go buy something to eat, anything you want?

@¹ jeno you don't have to be anything at all. nevermind if your not as artsy, or whatever. you should just have to be you, and then the best version of that.
/smiles and takes another sip of my drink, humming softly
i guess— recruiting the new freshmen is kind of like a duty. even though you should find it on your own.
/tips my head slightly to the side as i look at you
are the other guys treating you well?

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun Kind of, hyung. But I ain't that artsy just like the others or I guess it depends on how passionate are you in what you do.
*smiles and rubs my nape*
Yeah. I like testing the waters first before I take a dive.
*chuckles softly and nods*
It's okay. You're just proud of your frat and that's understandable that you want more people to join, no worries with that.
*smiles softly*

@¹ jeno dance? ah, so you are an artsy guy as well, kind of. i think that's great jeno, that you're trying things out first. you don't want to tie down too quickly. i minor in music, it used to be my major during my freshman year but then i switched it to graphic arts.
/smiles softly as i nod my head, making a fleeting motion with my free hand.
then stick to coffee, i don't mean to push anything onto you. you have your priorities straight and that's good

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun I major in dance but I'm not yet sure if I should pursue or switch, I'm here to try out what will fit me but dancing is a passion of mine for so long now.
*smiles and blinks, clears my throat*
Uhh, no thanks. I'll stick with coffee. That pretty much helps me when I need to stay up and study, hyung. Thanks though.
*smiles and takes a sip of my drink once again*

@¹ jeno the artsy ones, yeah. it's for the creative minds, no? what's your major, jeno?
/chuckles softly as confusion paints your features, nodding slightly.
drugs, yeah. hey kid, if you ever need something like a boost while studying, or for your exams and — i'm your guy, alright?
/pats my pocket with a quirky smile, chuckling.
hey, i think delta is pretty chill, it would suit you

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun *watches you as you take the sip of your drink, listening intently as you speak*
Oh. So, it's for the artsy ones? And wait, drugs? What drugs?
*looks at you in confusion, my eyebrows furrowed a bit*
I'll take note of that as well, hyung. I just want a place that's chill, I can't be in a place where so much is going on because I get disoriented quickly when I'm disturbed or whatnot.
*chuckles*

@¹ jeno /wraps both my hands around the cup in order to gather some of it's warmth, smiling over at you.
yeah, exactly. my major is graphic arts so it's the perfect fraternity for me— also, the drugs right?
/hums softly and thinks about your question for a bit.
well, the people are nice— and it's a little less crazy than some of the other fraternities as well. just the right amount of crazy, i'd say

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun *smiles as you finally come over with our orders, watching you sink down the couch*
Delta Chi Lambada? Is that where you are, hyung?
*looks at you curiously and pulls my legs up to sit in a lotus position as I fit just right in the single couch*
I ain't really sure yet on which to join but I'll look into each of them and see which will fit me well. But how is it like in your frat?
*sips on my drink as I wait for your response*

@¹ jeno take your time, jeno, there isn't really any rush right? though, i would humbly like to recommend the delta chi lambda.
/he grins towards the younger before turning to place their orders, ordering a simple coffee with soy milk for himself.
ah, here you go!
/sets the cup down in front of jeno before he sinks down into the couch.

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun I get it now, and with that, I think I'll need more time to research and decide which frat will help me achieve what I want.
*smiles and nods*
Sure~
*picks a table at the far end where we can sit in couches*
Here~
*waves my hand as I raise my arm up for you to see me*

@¹ jeno exactly like that, in a way. it's supposed to be fun, you know
/he smiles, glad that the younger seems to understand what he's trying to say.
sure, why don't you pick a table and i'll be right there with our drinks?
/and with that he moves over to the counter to place their order.

@ΔΧΛ ³ baekhyun *nods slowly as I listen to you*
Oh. So, it's like they have their own goals and purpose in a way?
*follows through once you open the door and the smell of coffee hitting my senses immediately making me smile*
This is it~
*smiles brightly*
Really? Then. . . one large chocolate java chip for me with extra coffee in it, please~

@¹ jeno i guess aspirations is the wrong word for it, but rather— you know the fraternities kinda focuses on different things in a way? it's like they have their own personality. you just gotta pick whichever sounds like the most fun, to you. /he looks at the younger over his shoulder while he explains, pushing the door to the small coffee shop open.
hey, this place is great. pick whatever you want, it's my treat— being hyung and all

@ΝΓΤ ³ jaehyun Heard they have ice cream here that is pretty good. What’s your favorite flavor?

[[ do you prefer 1st POV or 3rd? ]]
