"Good night Jongho"

╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮

Y/n woke up because of her alarm. She groaned and turned it off while sitting up. Jongho frantically sat up and looked at her in distress. „it's just my alarm, it wakes me up in the morning. I should've told you" she said and showed him her alarm. He sighed relieved and laid back down. „I'll be going to work now, I'll see you later" she simply said and smiled at him. Jongho smiled at her and muttered a ‚okay' before drifting back to sleep.

As y/n was done getting ready for work, she made her way downstairs to the living room. She peaked her head through the door and saw San peacefully asleep, tiptoeing her way towards the coffee table, she grabbed the notepad and pen. She turned around and started walking out again, writing down everything that the guys should know about the house and electricity. She pinned it on the fridge and left the house.

7:56a.m.

She entered the Café and smiled. Hwarang smiled back at her and greeted her. „I already started setting some stuff up, can you do the rest?" he asked her. „Sure. Let me just put my stuff down" y/n walked to the back, putting on her apron and returning to the front. She started putting the pastries into the display at the cash register, put down chairs and wiped the tables. Y/n turned on the TV that hung at the top right corner of the shop and walked back to the counter.

„How'd you sleep?" her coworker asked as he leaned against the counter with right arm. „It was good actually, I didn't have a nightmare this time" y/n answered and chuckled. Hwarang smiled a little „I'm glad to hear that. But always remember that if you do have a bad night im-„ he got cut off by her.
„You're here for me, I know that and thank you" y/n let out a small laugh and shook her head. Hwarang only smiled at her, admiring the girls laugh.

Soon enough the first costumers entered the café, some of the regulars would enter and order the same thing all over again. The day went by quite fast. The two of them were cleaning up the café now. Today would be one of the days, where they'll close up around 3p.m. Already. „Y/n, I can drive you home today. It's cloudy outside, it might rain as bad as yesterday" Hwarang spoke as he grabbed his car keys. Y/n grabbed her bag and looked over to him. „Sure, sounds great!" smiling she made her way out of the café and waited for him until he was done locking it up.

„So..do you have anything to do today?" Hwarang asked her as he started the car. „Yes..quite a lot actually. I have to clean the house, it got quite dirty the last few weeks"
She rubbed her temple with her fingers and sighed. Hwarang chuckled "well whenever you're free, tell me because we need to go on a best friend date again" He said and looked at her for a short moment. Y/n gasped and looked at him "omg!you're right!"

After about twenty minutes later, they arrived in front of her house. She thanked him and walked to her front door. "Y/n wait!your bag" Hwarang came running after her, handing it to her. "Oh!thank you" she smiled softly at him and said goodbye. Unlocking the door, she walked into a mess. "What happened!?" She yelled, catching the attention of two people. Yeosang and Seonghwa. They came running to her "we're going to be honest...we don't know either" they simply said and apologized a few times. Y/n shook her head and took off her shoes and jacket, walking throught the corridor and collecting some things that laid on the ground.

"Could you two be so nice and help me pick up all the trash?please?" She asked them as she turned around, only to find them already helping her. "Where does all this go?" Seonghwa spoke up once he collected everything that he could carry. "Just follow me" all three of them threw it into the trash can. "I'll go change and then I'll be back.." she quickly told them and made her way up upstairs into her room.

The guys

"Do you think she'll like it?" Wooyoung asked his friends and glanced at the cookies that were kn the coffee table in the living room. All the guys looked at them. "Hopefully..I think we did great" Yeosang said and smiled proudly.
Jongho looked at the burned cookies on the coffee table, he was hoping that she would be happy about them, especially after he tried his best to make them..he decided on making a seperate batch of cookies, however they didn't turn out as well as the others.

"She's coming!" Wooyoung whispered and started to act 'natural' which resulted in him sitting rather uncomfortably on the sofa.
"Hey guys- is everything alright?.." Y/n asked once she noticed the tense atmosphere in the air. "Yes, Yes! We made these for you" San said and handed them to her, y/n started to smile. "Thank you guys! But can I know why you made them?.." she asked them as she searched for an empty seat, finding one next to San and Jongho, her feet took her towards San and she sat down.

"As a thank you. For letting us stay with you.." San explained and smiled at her. She couldn't help but smile too, taking a bite of the cookie.
"It's amazing!" She quickly ate the rest of the cookie and kept telling them how good it was. "We're not the only ones that baked something, Jongho did too!" Yeosang told her with a proud smile and pointed towards Jongho, who was looking at them with panicked eyes. Y/n's gaze went to Jongho, his hands were shaking a little as he handed her the burned cookies.

She looked down at the little bowl that was filled with them, she knew that she wouldn't bite into them but her eyes caught one cookie that looked seemingly perfect. She took it out of the bowl and bit into it, savoring the taste.
"How are they?.." Jongho quietly asked her, his hands still shaking. Why am I so nervous? He thought. "They're great! Yes some of them are burned but that doesn't mean anything. Practice takes time" she smiled and walked over to him, engulfing him in a side hug.

"Thank you guys, I'll make sure to give you something too" y/n stated and put down the cookies.

"The gift you can give us is bringing us back home" Seonghwa said and smiled softly, to which y/n responded with a nod and a smile.

"Of course"
