@❛ l. juyeon she watches as he tries the bite she offered, lips stretching into a pleased grin once she can tell that he enjoyed the bite of coffee cake. "it's a nice light cake, in my opinion. I like to get it a lot with my coffees in the morning, because it doesn't make me feel bloated." she explained, as she resumed eating the coffee cake, "mm I don't think I have actually?" leaning forward, she took the offered bite, humming her approval as it melted on her tongue.

@▹ ❛ s. hayoung he pushes the tray aside as the both of them have acquired their respective food and drinks, taking a long sip of his americano from the straw before he glances at the piece offered to him. surely it'll be rude of him to decline, so he shyly takes a bite of the sugary goodness, the small piece of cake melting instantly in his mouth. "oh, it's actually not too sweet! i might get this next time," he comments, shocked by the slight bitter tang of coffee. "have you tried their croissants?" he asks as he wraps the pastry with a napkin. "they're rich and buttery, definitely worth buying for days." he grins as he offers hayoung a bite.

@❛ l. juyeon she can't keep herself from smiling the entire time she waits for juyeon to join her at their table, her cheeks warm with fascination at how someone as sweet as the other popped into her life. it was nice not having to question if she was wanted or not, and damn did it feel nice to be wanted. as he approached with their order, she glanced up and smiled even more as he sat down, reaching to take her drink and the slice of coffee cake. after taking a bite, she hummed her approval and offered the next bite to the other. "you have to try this."

@▹ ❛ s. hayoung he finds hayoung's demeanor and laughter to be easily entertaining and contagious as his own laughter fills the air. "we'll see, we'll see." he then mentally notes that for future reference; perhaps he'll try making something sweet for her whenever he has the time to. "oh? well i might be missing you already," he teases back just as soon as she goes to find them a seat. it doesn't take long for him to order and get what they wanted, and it doesn't take him that much time either to find his 'date' tucked in the corner of the cafe. he places himself down across from her and settles the tray on the table. "here's our order!"

@❛ l. juyeon "I guess we'll see who's quicker with their wallet next time then." she laughs, cheeks warm with happiness as she bounces on her feet a little bit. it was exciting to be going on an actual date/outing for once, she wasn't going to assume what label this had. "pfft you just think I'm sweet. I like a little sweetness to wake me up fully." she responded, humming her approval at his choice. "sure thing. don't miss me too much." she teased before stepping away to find them an empty table to sit at.

@▹ ❛ s. hayoung "please, there's really no need to treat me back," he insists, although, the idea of next time's does make his pulse dash in excitement — which is an odd new feeling for him, but he decides to let that settle at the back of his head (or at least, tries to) for now. "sweet things early in the morning? is that the secret to why you're so sweet?" he a brow in amusement, before scanning over the menu again. "maybe an iced americano and a croissant," he hums. "would you like to find us a spot while i go order?"

@❛ l. juyeon Hayoung gently squeezes his hand as they walk, happy with the slow pace considering she wasn't overly awake yet and it also meant spending more time with him. She was glad he wanted to spend the extra time with her despite both their normally busy schedules. She follows him inside the building, gaze immediately settling on the menu so she could decide what she wanted. "Next time I'm paying then," she huffed softly with a small smile, "I was thinking an iced chai latte and maybe a coffee cake? What about you?"

@▹ ❛ s. hayoung with his hand linked with hayoung's, juyeon takes slow, easy steps with her. it is his first day off in a while, but when hayoung wanted to hang out with him, he opens up his schedule. so here they are, just arrived at the front of a coffee shop as he reaches out to give the door a tug, opening it for the two of them to enter. he glances up to the menu board before returning his attention to her. "so, what are you having? don't worry, it'll be my treat." he flashes hayoung a smile, giving her hand a gentle squeeze.

*settling down by the window Yeaji wrapped the scarf a little tighter around my neck while my eyes follow the people passing the little café, smiling at the waiter as he brings my coffee and cake and I thank him before wrapping my cold hands around the warm cup and taking a sip*
