Life liked to kick you in the butt but today was just too much to handle.

You started your morning with a runny nose and a sore throat, thus the rest of your day was spent sneezing, coughing and reaching for tissues whenever you had time in between trying to breathe properly and sipping on your echinacea tea, one which your dear friend ‒ Google ‒ recommended for a spring cold. You assumed that the air condition in your apartment was the one to blame because who would come down with a cold in April, right when the flowers started blooming and kids started to evade the streets with joy (and a lot of noise)?

You were unlucky, that’s for sure.

Yet, you would call it more than unfortunate when hours later you learned that you failed your exam that you had taken a week before, meaning that you were up to at least one more week of suffering and stuffing your already useless brain with old folks’ birthdates and eccentric family backgrounds. Not that all philosophers were old folks but most were portrayed at a not-so-juvenile age, thus you liked to call them the Good Ol’ Pensioners Club when you were already fed up with them. You were fond of Philosophy but not because of figures like Hypatia who was the daughter of the philosopher Theon (Does the name ring a bell? If not, don’t worry, you are not alone.) but because of what they’ve actually said and preached about.

When the results came out, you felt like strangling your professor with your bare hands, yet you didn’t want to spend years in a prison for killing a man, so you did what seemed like the best remedy for a broken heart and a tired university student’s soul; you were looking for a hot, delicious and giant mug of hot chocolate. Having a cold or not, your love for hot chocolate was stronger than the desire to get over that stupid health condition as soon as possible.

On your way from the university to your flat, you decided to follow a different route than you were used to, small wonder you came across a cute little designer café you had never seen before. Not to mention that it wasn’t just an ordinary café, it was a cat café!

“Oh lord, I hope you don’t want to trick me into anything right now,” you mumbled as you looked at the opening hours of the place, realizing that you had plenty of time until they would close. A well-dressed old lady passed by and threw you a suspicious glance, probably wondering why you were talking to yourself (or to that so-called lord) in the middle of the street. You merely gave her a wide grin and stepped into the café instead. Fluffy, furry cats were so much better than freaky elder women who hated youngsters.

The smell of fresh, ground coffee immediately wafted through your nose, the bitter fragrance inviting you to sit down and order your hot chocolate as soon as possible. You looked around a bit before you decided to take a seat at a table in the back of the café, placing yourself between two lovely cats – an Aegean and a Foldex.

You sure had a thing for cats, but your mother was allergic to them, so it wasn’t a question if you can raise one at home. When you moved away for your university studies, you had your hopes up, but fate decided otherwise and gave you a roommate who was having none of your kitten-crazy fantasies. Kim Youngbin would never ever let you keep one because it meant more things to look after (and clean after). Since he was the one out of the two of you who actually did housework, you couldn’t convince him.

“Good afternoon! What can I get for you?” a husky voice asked suddenly, brining you back to the reality aka the cute guy in front of you who looked like an actual puppy with his toffee-like eyes, chocolate-brown, slightly longer hair that was tucked behind his ear like he was a rock star or something. His smile was a bit coy but still friendly, earning a similarly kind smile from you.

“I would like a cup of hot chocolate.”

“What kind?” he inquired patiently as he jotted down your order on the piece of paper he held in his hands. He had long, delicate fingers and you couldn’t help but stare at him in awe until your common sense slapped you in the face and made you realize that staring was exceptionally rude, and you were pacing out.

“Do you have unicorn hot chocolate?” You raised an eyebrow in question, earning a childish giggle from the guy.

You almost cursed inwardly when you realized you could have just looked at the menu on the table or the giant board behind the guy’s back. Instead, you asked him like you were already trying to flirt with him.

“Yes, we do.” He nodded, trying so hard to hide a lopsided smile that was slowly attacking his lips. You weren’t sure if your behaviour or your order made him so giddy but you didn’t want to know. You were pretty sure you had looked silly enough with your insanely red nose, that giant knitted scarf around your neck (your grandma’s present for Christmas) and your favourite pink oversized hoodie in which you tried to survive the worst spring cold of your life. You didn’t need to add to the effect with unnecessary and silly questions.

“You can get a free blueberry muffin with it,” he added joyfully as he looked up from his notes, scanning you slightly questioningly.

“Cool! Then I’ll have one unicorn hot chocolate, please.” You clapped beamingly, then sat back in your chair to pat the Foldex’s head. The boy looked at you for a second longer than it was necessary, and you couldn’t tell if it was because he eyed you or the cat that you were befriending at that moment. Guys had every right to love cats, right? He couldn’t hate them if he worked in a cat café.

“Cool! Then I’ll get it for you in a minute,” he promised as he stopped writing and gave you a timid half-smile before he scampered away to get your hot chocolate ready.

Wait, you thought to yourself as you sat up. Did he really emulate your words? Could it be a coincidence? You were merely thinking too much of it? Or… maybe he really did it on purpose? Gosh, why were guys so complicated? You were never lucky in dating – not like you were lucky in any field of life, just look at yourself sitting in a cat café having both a cold and a failed exam, pondering if the cute barista was trying to flirt with you or not –, let alone knowing what intentions guys had when they were talking to you.

Anyway, you decided to put your thoughts aside for a while and take the opportunity to spend more time with the cats around you. You only realized then that both cats had name tags around their neck, the Foldex one was actually named Max and the Aegean was Hope. They were both incredibly cute, small wonder you admired them with heart eyes until the cute barista came back with a giant mug of hot chocolate (though you could only see the whipped cream on top with cute little sprinkles, marshmallows and a blue icing drizzle) and a plate with a fabulous piece of blueberry muffin. You were drooling the moment you laid your eyes on the treats in front of you.

“Enjoy!” wished the guy with an incredibly adorable and shy smile, placing the drink and the dessert in front of you. You smiled back in response; you didn’t even think about it. Everything came so naturally when it came to that cute guy.

You didn’t know what got into you but you found yourself squinting your eyes at his white shirt to get a better look at his name tag. Your move was subtle as if you were trying to examine something behind him while he was making sure that he didn’t break your mug while he was putting it down on the table.

Youngkyun. Luckily, his name tag was not that small, so you could perfectly make out the letters. You had never met anyone with the name Youngkyun (only Younghyun), that’s why it was another reason you knew you would remember him even if you weren’t sure you spiking a conversation with him would go anywhere.

However, when you were about to take a sip of the hot chocolate, you caught him staring at you. You weren’t sure what he was up to as he stood there like he was frozen, thus you inquired about the reason instead.

“What is it? Do I have something on me?” you panicked as you looked at your hoodie, then your scarf, some loose strains of hair but you didn’t see anything peculiar. Of course, your outfit was peculiar enough but he wasn’t struck by that the first time he saw you, so that couldn’t have been the problem.

“No, it’s just…” He waved his hands defensively and pointed at your neck. “I have the same scarf,” he confessed sheepishly, biting his lower lip in embarrassment.

“Oh, it was actually a Christmas gift from my granny and I don’t have any other scarf that wouldn’t suffocate me while providing enough heat for my sore throat,” you babbled freely, chattering like you were friends for years.

By the time you shut up, you wished you had never said anything in the first place. When you were nervous, you tended to speak faster, plus you tended to speak a lot. And you were definitely nervous speaking to Youngkyun.

Nonetheless, instead of a frown on the barista’s face, you could only see a hint of worry. Genuine worry.

“You’re having the spring cold?” He pouted sadly, proving you once again that he was a real-life puppy. Honestly, how could he be so introvert yet extrovert at the same time? You were trying to figure him out ,yet you knew it was useless at this point.

So you merely shrugged your shoulder.

“Yep. I’m so lucky, I know.” You let out a nervous laughter, suddenly averting your eyes to the pink mug in front of you.

“Try our organic herbal tea!” Youngkyun suggested gently, his voice smooth like silk and sweet like agave. “It’s specifically for the cold season,” he announced excitedly like you were the only customer who was dealing with a cold that season. You wouldn’t have been surprised though.

“Oh, I don’t know. I’ve tried echinacea tea this morning but it tasted awful.”

“You’ll love it, I swear,” the barista insisted as he put his hand on his heart like he was about to sing the national anthem. “I don’t know how Rowoon hyung has come up with the idea of this tea but it’s really good. It helped me to overcome my flu in three days.” He nodded to back up his words, his toffee-like eyes shining with fondness.

You had to admit that you weren’t a big fan of teas, especially not the herbal ones but he was so cute and his puppy eyes already got you even without his further convincing.

“Come on, it’s on the house! Plus, if you like it and you tell him directly, he’ll let you have it for free whenever you pass by.” He leaned closer like it was only a secret between you two, something that you weren’t supposed to pass on. You were sure your face turned a shade brighter, the sudden intimacy making you blush deeper than you had intended.

“He must be proud of it.” You giggled to yourself, imagining an old man with a garden full of herbs, trying to decide if he should put the peppermint or the ginger into his next mix. “Or he’s just a born salesman,” you added playfully to which Youngkyun dramatically put both of his hands on his heart.

“Don’t get me started! He’s in love with his organic teas,” he emphasised the words on purpose, earning a laugh from you. It was so cute seeing the seemingly reserved boy open up just because that so-called Rowoon was in love with his organic teas.

A moment of awkward silence fell upon the two of you. Your mind went blank; you were searching for something (anything) appropriate to say, yet you couldn’t think of anything funny, nor interesting. Maybe Youngkyun felt the same way as he nervously massaged his temple.

In the end, he was the one who broke the silence.

“Anyway, enjoy your hot chocolate! And your muffin too,” he said coyly, already ready to leave and go back behind the bar counter. However, something in you was brave (or bold) enough to prompt you to make him stay considering that there weren’t any customers in the café except you.

“You can tell me more about that Rowoon hyung and his beloved teas if you want,” you blurted out without giving it much thought and you almost cursed under your breath when you saw the expression on his face. He seemed so dumbfounded, like he just found out that you were the daughter of the president of South Korea.

Yet, after a second, his features softened, and he immediately took the seat on the other side of the table, super eager to tell you every little odds about that Rowoon hyung who turned out to be only a few years older than you (and not a retired grandpa like you had previously imagined).

You were pretty sure you wouldn’t remember half of what he had said because you were too immersed in his beautiful eyes that were full of stars and twinkles; you simply didn’t have time to care about the rest. It didn’t mean that you didn’t have a fun time; if anything, you had the best time of your life. Youngkyun could make you forget about your stupid exam and your even more stupid cold.

Even after drinking the last sip of your hot chocolate and consuming the last bit of your muffin, you two were talking. Afternoon slowly turned into night and you were close to closing hours when reality hit both of you hard. You didn’t mind though; he left behind a bag of that so-called herbal tea to fight your cold while you left behind a promise that you would come back to the café.

Hearing your words, he sheepishly smiled and you couldn’t help but think that maybe… just maybe… you weren’t so unlucky after all.

Hyunjin compliments you the most out of the other guys—who still compliment you physically very well

I think he is a perfect balance to your features

Thus, making you a very interestingly striking couple

You have very gentle features — cute round face, silky hair, & big, kind eyes

Hyunjin is almost the opposite

He has sharp striking eyes, a very defined face structure, and his hair has volume and shape to it.

You seem like a very approachable, easy-to-talk to individual

From a quick glance, Hyunjin seems more dark and mysterious

People would assume that physically you two would not look great together

However, once they see you two together, it is such an obvious answer, of course you guys look fantastic!

That being said, a similarity lies between the both of you: round and thick lips!

No other person, besides you two, is perfect for the other

Dates with Hyunjin would include so much teasing from his part, and they would never be boring

I can see you both going to super cute and unknown restaurants

Cuddling and/or hugging would be your guys’ favorite

You guys are the definition of the romantic-comedy dramas we all aspire to obtain one day.
