Strawberry taste with a cherry on top ✔

Why is Chan keeping you?

The next morning, Hyunjin went to the kitchen to make himself coffee. It was still early so he assumed all were sleeping, but he was surprised to find someone in the kitchen. The pretty boy from yesterday.

"Good morning." Hyunjin greeted the boy.

"Good morning." Jeongin greeted back with a bright smile.

For a moment Hyunjin could swear his heart stopped. Was the sun in the kitchen now? Or was the bright smile of the pretty boy? Who was he, and why was Chan keeping him? He remembered that the boy called Chan, strawberry. He had so many questions now.

"Do you want some coffee?" Jeongin asked him, stopping his train of thoughts.

"Yeah, that would be nice." Hyunjin told him.

Jeongin placed a cup of coffee in front of Hyunjin. Hyunjin gladly took a sip.

Was coffee this good? Did the boy used the same coffee they use every day? Did he used the same machine?

"How did you make it so good?" Hyunjin asked.

"What do you mean? You have like a professional machine in your kitchen. Do you know how to use it?" Jeongin was confused.

"After tasting the coffee, you made, apparently we don't know how to use the coffee machine." Hyunjin answered him.

Changbin was the next to enter the kitchen, still looking sleepy.

"Binnie you have to taste to coffee. It's so good." Hyunjin hummed.

Changbin only nodded, still not fully awake. Jeongin placed another cup in front of him. Changbin taking a sip.

"Woah. Did you make the coffee with our machine? That's is so good." Changbin said.

"What are you saying you both. It's just coffee. Nothing special." Jeongin said, blushing.

"What do you mean nothing special? When someone of us make the coffee, it tastes gross." Hyunjin told him.

"Well, I work as a barista and I know how to use a machine." Jeongin smiled.

"So, pretty boy. Do you have a name, or I can call you pretty?" Hyunjin said win a wink.

To his question he resided a kick under the table from Changbin, who was looking at the door if Chan was nearby.

"Don't flirt with him asshole. We don't know who he is to Chan. Don't dig your grave." Changbin whispered, so the boy wouldn't hear.

"My name is Jeongin." The boy smiled brightly.

Both Changbin and Hyunjin introduced themselves to the boy, since the night they didn't, too stunned from his presence and the way he interacted with Chan. Both of them instantly liked the boy. All smiley and bright.

"Since I am not sure where we are, can someone of you go to the store for me and get some strawberries?" Jeongin asked.

He wanted for Chan to have his dose of strawberries for the day.

Hyunjin nodded and got out of the kitchen. Twenty minutes later he returned with the fruits.

Half an hour later Chan finally entered the kitchen. He was hit by the smell of coffee. Like he was in Jeongin's coffee shop. And the said boy was in the kitchen mixing something in a bow. Ah, his morning started pretty good.

"Good morning pretty boy." Chan said with a smile, ignoring the other two men in the kitchen.

"Ah, Strawberry, you are up. Good morning. Are you hungry?" Jeongin asked him, placing a cup of coffee in front of him.

"Starving." Chan answered.

Both Changbin and Hyunjin didn't dare to move or speak. Stunned and scary how their boss brightened at the presence of the boy.

Jeongin placed a plate full of strawberries, freshly cleaned, in front of Chan. That shocked the two men. Chan hated strawberries. But what shocked them more what the fact that Chan eats them. All of them.

"Didn't you hate strawberries?" Changbin asked.

"What are you saying? I love them." Chan said.

"When I got you the same strawberries you didn't like them." Hyunjin said.

"You got me others one. They were gross." Chan told him.

"No. I got them from the same store. They are the same. I tested them." Hyunjin said.

"You are mistaken. Those testes sweeter than the one you got me." Chan was getting angry now.

"Yeah, probably I am." Hyunjin backed.

But he was sure that they tasted the same. He then looked at the boy. Did the fact that he gave the fruits to Chan change the taste?

Why was Chan keeping him?

After a few minutes Jeongin placed a place full of pancakes.

"Breakfast is ready." He said happily.

All three of them dig in. This was delicious.

"Your cooking is so good pretty boy. I make keep you forever." Chan half joked.

"After the night in that bed, I may actually stay here forever." Jeongin smiled.
