✧ cafe

@lee hongbin. [ whoops! i forgot about this! plus i was feeling down for quite a fair bit recently. so sorry! ]

*after finishing snapping the pictures she needed, she tucks her phone away and gestures to him to start digging in* Hmm. if anything, it's great to be yourself and being unique in your own ways. I do believe nobody is ever the same for anything. except for some things. we all do have the likes and dislikes. You should! *she nods in agreement about the food* Not only that, the atmosphere is really good.

@shim changmin. intertwines our fingers together when you hold my hand and smiles when you kissed my cheek
hums softly as i am thinking of an answer to your question
hm i think i want butter croissant and oh! i want a piece of red velvet cake too.

@choi san. reaches out for your hand as we walk down, leaning in to press a kiss on your cheek
bread? what kind love?
either way i'm sure it'll be great.
squeezes your smaller hand lightly
we can take some home if you'd like.

@kim sejeong. *he watches her snap the pic. He himself was never too big on photographing his food but he knew from some guys in his group how important it could be to some so he waited until she was done before taking a sip from his tea* well, being normal and the same as everyone else would be boring anyway so it’s good to be a little weird, right? *he smiled and then tried the food, humming* this is really good... I should come here more often...!

@lee hongbin. *she arranges the plates and cups with his help to make a flatlay so she could capture this moment but not capturing his face for fear of widespread panic throughout both their fandoms* I can understand your predicament though. I need to experience and develop those feelings to know how I'd react too. but then again, I always like doing skinship with everyone i see. Like hugging or shaking hands or.. just simple innocent touches. My members, Gugudan, i mean.. they bear the brunt of it all. *she giggles at the faces that pops up in her mind when it comes to touching* Nah, if anything, I'm weird too.

@kim sejeong. *he helps a bit to arrange the plates and cups though Sejeong pretty much seems to have the situation under control. The toast looked so good, he couldn’t wait to try it....*
Hmm... *hongbin tilted his head a little* I don’t know...? I guess I’d have to experience and develop those kinda feelings to know how I’d react in the first place... I’ve never been in such a situation to be honest so I don’t know... *he let out a soft, embarrassed laugh* aaah I’m pretty weird..

@lee hongbin. *she leans over to rest her elbow on the edge of the table, placing her cheek in her palm and listens attentively, not even noticing that the server has arrived at their table with their drinks, cake and toast until the voice snaps her out of focus* oh thanks. *she looks up to smile at the server who shyly quickly places the cups and plates down along with the cutleries before scurrying away. the female shifts her focus back on hongbin and hums in acknowledgement* that's pretty much answering my question, thank you. Mhm? maybe they're just shy or afraid of asking you the question. Another question... what if you like someone but you can't bear to do skinship yet? what will you do?

@kim sejeong. *he listens to what she asks, staying calm and chill, no sign of negative feelings in his expressions, genuinely understanding why she asks. He can’t help another chuckle when she brings up the monk thing in relation to it, waving it off* no no, it’s not because I grew up in a temple *the smile still lingers before he just shrugs* I don’t know, I just never liked it... I’ve researched terms to describe that feeling and talked to friends about it and stumbled across “aual” and “aromantic” stuff a lot but I just prefer to say I personally don’t fancy that stuff... if that answers your question *he smiles softly at her* you’re the first person to actually ask, y’know

@lee hongbin. *she notices how he seem to be a little awkward at her weird musical entrance before noting it mentally to tone the damn thing down* you sure, ol' pure monk? *she teases a little before leaning backwards comfortably* you know.. I am curious. as to why you're uncomfortable with skinship and all. i mean.. well, maybe because you grew up in a temple but yeah... *she seems to be stumbling over with her words since she is afraid she might offend him with what she is trying to say and looks up at him, awaiting his reaction to her question and is ready to let him go if he ever choose that route*

@kim sejeong. *he can’t help but feel a bit awkward and cringe a little at her very... cheerful behavior. But he still smiles, shaking his head a little, finding it quite adorable but he’s never admit that. He waits for her to sit down first and then takes the free seat opposite of her, being rather calm compared to her* it’s very nice, yeah *he chuckles at the chyeah*

@lee hongbin. *she happily waves her phone around and nods fervently* pretty much. this thing's good. technology has been advanced since then. oh that's a goooooood spot. *suddenly switches into a musical mode and spreads her arms before switching back to the usual sejeong mode* let's go there. *leads the way once again, walking towards the available table by the window and is silently thanking the heavens that the sun didn't shine their way so strongly* all we have to do is for our order to be delivered to us. take a seat! *she gestures to the table while taking the seat on the right of the table, sliding it out and plopping her on it before tucking herself in slightly* such a wonderful day, chyeah?

@kim sejeong. *he watches her in fascination since he never uses such tools or apps, usually paying with card or cash* did you just pay for me? *he asks as he looks around for a good table. Luckily there’s one close to the windows and it’s free* over there by the window *he points it out and heads over with her*

@lee hongbin. *gives a gentle nod at him and turns back, walking a little more to where the orders are being taken, relaying the orders over to the female behind the cashier and quickly pays it with Samsung Pay app since it's quicker that way. she is then given a table tag so the server could find them* Oh, it's free seating. so do take the honour of where you want to sit.

@kim sejeong. *he looks around the whole store and discovers that they serve toast as snacks as well. He then takes a look at the tea menu, scans it quickly before looking back at sejeong* hmm... I’ll have toast and green tea *he gives her a soft smile with a quick nod, actually enjoying this so far*

@lee hongbin. Oh. you don't have to feel bad if you pay. If it does make you comfortable, sure, let's spilt the bill. *her eyes crinkles up in a crescent shape and turns around to see what she should have* I'm sure they have something that's not as sweet and they do have tea. quite a variety i must say. *she presses her right index finger against her chin and taps on it in thought* I think i will have the usual classic cheesecake and a cuppa of iced honey grapefruit tea. how about you? *turns halfway to face him with a small smile on her face*

@kim sejeong. Ah... but i would feel bad if you paid... how about we just split the bill? *he raises an eyebrow before staring to check out the pastries they displayed, trying to figure out what he wants* ... do they have things that aren’t as... sweet? I don’t really like sweets... and do they have tea?

@lee hongbin. *she whips around with her hair flying around her face and makes a silly angry face, shaking my head* you can't make me move away. but true, i will dirty it further if i continue. *painfully peels herself off the display case and lets out a happy sigh* eh- *she quickly snaps out of her trance and shakes my head* since i initiated it, i shall pay for it.

@kim sejeong. *he walks after her, hands in his pockets and watches her silly behavior with a soft smile, chuckling a bit as she presses herself to the display* Yah, don’t do that, you’re making it dirty... choose whatever, it’s my treat

@lee hongbin. *starts off by leading the monk over to the destination, giving snarky side-eyes at the disguised chanyeol. upon arriving at the cafe, i pushes open the heavy wooden door and a whiff of the pastries hit me in the nose* oh god- the pastries. I'm melting into a puddle. *letting my shoulders slump down a little and moans softly to myself, dragging my feet over to the display case and rest my nose on it* these cakes thoughhhhh.

@chou tzuyu. (h) Well. *i stopped what i was doing after finishing up the last bit and sending it* Your in such a huge group. I'm guessing. *moves to close my laptop* you should have it. *moves to pack up everything* You can continue with everything on your own. *i grabbed my drink and stood* I'll see you laters then. Meet me here. Shall we say, *i look at my watch* 8? *i gave a small yet cocky smile* See you then princess. *i turned and walked off letting you enjoy your last bit of time for yourself*

@kim woobin. /listens quietly when you told me how to improve my pronunciation at the very least before rolling my eyes when you said about the deal/
Ugh fine. You’re gonna make a girl go broke.
/sighs softly before taking a sip of my beverage, looking away from you/
Hmm. Theyre were full when I last seen it.

@chou tzuyu. (h) *i quietly listened to you as i did my best to keep a straight face. A small smile came to my cheeks but clearing my throat I listened. When you finished. I cleared my throat and nodded* not bad. But next time don't introduce in such way. .I'm Tzuyu. Youngest member of twice. and you use the term as in dating. your members. You use term for like. *i told you and leaned up* not bad. some work you could be better at speaking. ANyways, i hope your ready to take me out. I have expensive taste in eating. And im not cheap what so ever. *i took a sip and looks at the many empty seats* so i guess those don't count..

@kim woobin. /looks at you before thinking quietly about it/ I don’t know.. /says the next sentence in broken Korean sentences, not sounding confident of it/ I’m Tzuyu.. twice youngest.. Uh... uh..I like staying with my members..? /mumbles softly as my mind couldn’t process much words in Korean, looking away before sipping on my drink/ your table was the only one.. that has an empty seat.

@chou tzuyu. (h) well then that's even better. So you have no reason to feel worried if your already this scared. Just go ahead., *crosses my arms* now im curious to know what you sound like and how you speak korean. Give it a go. I won't laugh. If i laugh. Ill buy you dinner. If i don't. you buy me dinner. Deal? *i shrugged* Your talking to me when i've told you many times to leave. And so you've even sat down perfectly comfortable drinking your drink. It's already a damn given on what just happened.

@kim woobin. I don’t really know how to talk to much people.. I’m kinda scared they might laugh if I spoke Korean wrongly.. and yes you do make me feel very timid. /rolls my eyes before taking another sip of my drink/ you’re a narcissistic one. And who said I would fall for you hmm? Or your deliciousness? Dream on, weird mister.

@chou tzuyu. (h) *i continue to work on my computer and hearing your constant motion to engage in a conversation. I looked from the screen to you and shook my head* is that the best that you can do? You with your people skills. Or do i just make you that much timid? *moves to lean back in my seat* I seem to always have that affect with women. I didn't think you would fall for such deliciousness. I must say. It's a gift I have. what can i say?

@kim woobin. /rolls my eyes at your sarcastic response before shaking my head, drinking my hot beverage/ geez you’re such a sarcastic one. /sits down across you before looking around the cafe’s interior design/ such a beautiful place.. /mumbles to myself before taking another sip of the beverage before looking at you/

@chou tzuyu. (h) *hears you call me weird mister and stops typing for a short moment about to address the conversation. But at the call of your order my words were hitched before i watched you walk away* damn female. *i spoke mainly to myself as you grabbed your order. Catching my attention back with work. I for some reason greeted with this voice that seem to get a little but all to familiar. Hearing your questions of me doing anything else besides those two things you called out. As well as you calling me a workaholic* yes. Apparently i stop at cafes and grab a meal. Mmm fun~ *i said more sarcasticly then normal* any other question youd like to add to the menu? What i brush my tweth with? Where to i sleep. What i wear?..... *i continued before working yet again*

@kim woobin. /looks at you while tilting my head/ me following you? nah i don't do anything of that sort, weird mister. /resorts to calling you mister instead of your name before hearing them calling for my order, making me go pick it up and walking back towards you./ do you do anything else other than work or smoking? looks to me like you're somewhat a workaholic at times. /shrugs my shoulders before taking a sip of my hot beverage/

@chou tzuyu. (h) *my time waiting. Once my order was called i proceed to retrieve the order. Getting back to my table, i sat taking a sip of my drink enjoying the taste of the drink before getting back to work. It wasnt till moments later i heard a voice i was hoping was somewhat of a hallucination of some sort. I took another sip* and here. We meet again. *i placed the drink back on the table* is there really nothing better to do then to follow me around?
