"Here, your coffee." I place it on the coffee table in front of him and he nods, too into the book. I tilt my head a little and clear my throat.

"Uhm, I didn't get your name." He keeps the book down with a bookmark placed inside.

"Oh, My name's Nathan." I extend my hand and he gladly shakes it.

"Nice to meet you, Nathan, I'm Mia."I nod my head politely bowing like I've been taught by Jim.

"Yes, I know your name, most people at school do. I see you underlined some of the quotes which I'm assuming you liked."

"Ah yes, the person working for the other shift lost the one from here so I kept my copy for the time being."

"This is a really beautiful book, do remember this one quote in the beginning?" He says picking it up again and the bookmark falls out of it. I jump to catch it and it falls under the loveseat making me duck so I catch it. When I move my head up, I accidentally place my hands on his thighs instead of the fabric of the loveseat.

The position I'm in doesn't help things. He looks at me with wide eyes gulping and I quickly try to get up from between his legs but my back hits the coffee table and I fall onto the seat and he immediately stands up with me, using his hands to steady me keeping an arm's distance and then clearing his throat awkwardly.

"Oh god, I am so embarrassed, I'm so sorry, I didn't really think of anything else, I would never-" I close my mouth when he raises an eyebrow questioningly at my statement.

"Oh no, I didn't mean never, I could, no one knows, You're really handsome, don't be hurt, I wasn't trying to offend you. I'm so-" He puts his hand up and I shut up.

"Your rambling is not helping the case."

"I'm sorry." I cover my forehead in embarrassment.

"I had no idea that the super-confident president of the student council could be that embarrassed about something." I smile awkwardly at him and he laughs a little.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to offend you either." He teases putting both his hands up.

"Oh quit it." I scoff a little playfully. He's cute.

"Alright. Oh hey, by the way, can you give me your number?" He says pointing to himself.

"Yeah sure but why?" I ask, not that I too don't want his number or something.

"Oh I lost mine." I deadpan at him and he smiles now shy.

"You have to try harder than that, I've heard that one twice before." I roll my eyes at him.

"Alright, I was thinking if we could be friends, I've always wanted to be friends with you. The pick-up line was taught by my friend, I just tried my luck." I chuckle and take his phone.

"Make sure you don't spread it around, I don't want any dick-pics from unknown numbers to ruin my day." I joke punching in my number and saving it as 'cutie-patootie'.

"Alright...'cutie-patootie-' I'll make sure you only get quality ones. I've got really nice friends." He says seriously and then winks at me making me roll my eyes.

"I've gotta go, I think someone's at the counter," I say pointing to the counter where a girl stands with her back to me. He nods and gets back to reading.

"Hi, I'm sorry, I got talking with another customer but what can I get you?" I ask and go behind the counter to face the girl.

"Oh don't worry, I saw you. Someone's getting dicked down huh?" She says and I recognize the voice looking up at her.

"Alyssa? Hi! I didn't really take you as a reading person. And I was not getting anything, just a friendly customer that's all." I say smiling at her and she smiles back.

"Oh, I was just here to tell you that this weird Asian boy was waiting outside for you." She says smiling sweetly but I feel my blood boil. Sam was not weird and he's more than just Asian.

"You can't go a day without being racist?" I ask her with a bored expression.

"Oh, come on, it's not that big a deal."

"Alyssa, don't make me punch you."

"Alright~," She says going out of the cafe and I sigh deeply. The guy from the next shift appears and I smile at him handing him the apron and he smiles back.

"I'm off," I yell stealing a look at Namjoon sitting there reading. Shaking my head, I turn my head to look for Jim. He comes out of the car and opens the door for me as always dramatically bowing.

"My baby!" He yells hugging me and I laugh pulling away.

"People are gonna think I'm dating you," I say nudging his side.

"Let them, baby, it shouldn't matter." He says puckering his lips. As if I would kiss him.

"Jim, baby, you're gay."

"Oh right." He smiles making his eyes disappear.

"But still let them baby I'm single anyway."

"Because you're single?" I ask getting in and he gets in from the other side.

"Because I'm single." He repeats firmly.

"Good, I know a guy you'd like too," I say winking.

"Ooh, does he have a big dick?"

"How do expect me to know the size of his dick?" I put a hand to my forehead shaking it.

"Oh right, how'd you know you haven't seen a dick in like, a year?" He says thinking hard.

"Don't remind me about dicks, I accidentally got on my knees in front of a guy I barely know."He laughs loudly making squeaky sounds.

"I get that you're sexually frustrated but Come on Mia, that desperate?" He jokes still laughing, throwing his head back.

"Ouch. Jim you're such a meanie." I clutch a hand to my heart gasping.

"Alright, we're home, so, about that guy", he trails off looking at me with dreamy eyes.

"You know him too, I think he's into you."

"Oh? How do you know that?"

"I see the way he keeps stealing glances at you, he's usually unbothered but it's different with you." He blushes shades of red knowing exactly who I'm talking about.

"No way in hell will Min Jae date me." I shrug at him and he shrugs back.

"We'll see about that, I know you like him but don't make a move first, he'll do it for sure."

"Okay, and how was your conversation with Nathan?" He asks smirking at me, swerving the car towards my house.

"How do you know that I talked to him?" I ask with big eyes and furrowed brows.

"Duh, I set it up bruh, did he ask for your number?"

"Yeah with a very lame pick-up line."

"And?"

"I gave it to him."
