Day by day, the guys would, to put into words, eagerly wait for her to push open the door and step in. But throughout the weekdays, she wasn't seen. Not even coming by to pickup a cup of coffee. Probably busy with her studies, they thought.

To the ones crushing on her, they felt as their heart pounding to what they wanted to say to her once she stops by. For the others, the only reason to wanting her to come in to see how flustered the love struck ones would react.

Mark, being the sole holder of her phone number had to change his password to prevent anyone from gaining her number. Reason being he knew she was busy focusing on her work and it showed from her replies that were hours apart from when he sent her messages. He didn't want the others to disturb her. Other than that, he was having quite a fun time seeing how the guys were subtly hinting to him to give her number to them.

The weekend came and the whole lot came to the shop early, excited to the fact they've been open for a week and the business had been running ever so smoothly.

"Okay, what are we going to have for breakfast?" Ten asked as he looked at Taeyong and Jaehyun.

"I don't know, what do you guys want to have?" Taeyong shrugged his shoulders and Haechan spoke up, "I saw some jjajangmyeon ramen in the cabinet, so..."

"Yes, jjajangmyeon ramen please," collective pleads of the lot filled the shop and Jaehyung and Taeyong nodded in agreement. As if they've got a month of school holiday, the younger ones were joyful.

"Alright, alright, now get off to work, we'll take turns eating when it's done," Doyoung said ushering everyone to head off to do their respective job.

As they began to work and the shop began to be filled with customers coming in and out, they managed to joke around as they made drinks, wiped tables, and prepared the food. Not to forget to fill their stomachs to the potful of jjajangmyeon ramen.

An hour passed since they opened, the person who most of the lot waited for came. With drowsy eyes, Nari quickly found herself to a chair and dropped her head to the table.

Finishing the iced americano order and calling out the name written on the cup, Jaehyun got himself a glass and filled it with warm water. Heading to the almost zombie-like Nari, he placed the glass on the table, questioning her, "Just why are you like this?"

"I barely got enough sleep because I kept of redoing my assignments. And I had to send my parents to the airport. I thought of coming here for some coffee or tea. I don't really know whether I should continue doing my assignments to head back and sleep after some warm sweet tea," she said staring at the table.

Jaehyun let out a laugh at the drained Nari, "Do you need some 'pick me up' song to put back your spirit in your body?"

Pulling her head away from the table, she looked at Jaehyun as she thought hard to think of a song, but coming up short. "I can't think up of any songs, just ask Doyoung if he has any recommendations for me," she said before pushing her body up from the seat.

As she headed to the counter and Jaehyun towards Doyoung, she stared at the showcase, wondering if she should get something to bite or not.

"Doyoung, Nari asks you for a 'pick me up' song recommendation," Jaehyun said at the lad who was waiting for the coffee to finish dripping. Quickly gesturing for Jaehyun to take over his job, he headed to the shelf where the placed the audio system.

Taking the tablet, he took a glance to Nari who was still having a debate with herself on food. Trying to hide the blooming joyful feeling of his crush wanting his song recommendation, he unconsiously nodded as he has a self debate of his own.

As he picked a random song and tapped on it, he placed back the tablet and the song of his choice began to fill the shop. Nari began to sway her head to the music which she immediately recognized as Goodbam by 2000won. Mouthing along to the lyrics, she enjoyed the song and a wide smile carved on Doyoung's face.

"Don't you think you've been staring at the food for too long, Nari?" Taeyong asked as he stacked the fresh out of the over chicken puffs.

"I'm still thinking if I should eat something or not. Cakes are like calling me but I don't know. Feeling like having something spongy, soft. I don't know. I'm not in the right mind," she sighed as she swung her head back.

Chuckling at her actions he saw as cute, he spoke, "Are you really that tired?" Nodding, she let out a slight pout, making it hard for him to not smile widely to express how his heart was beating.

"I'll bring out something for you, just pay before you head back," he said as he held his hand up to the chairs, asking her to head to her seat and wait for her food.

Walking to the kitchen, he quickly came into panic mood not knowing what he just did and what he should serve her. Jumping slightly, he was also feeling joyful as he remembered how cute she had looked in front of him.

Seeing how Taeil just finished icing the carrot cake and cutting them into squares, an idea struck his mind. Heading back out, he took a packet of strawberry tea. Ripping the foil, he placed the tea bag into a mug, adding in a few teaspoons of sugar, he poured in hot water.

While waiting for the tea to soak, he stopped Taeil who was on his way to place the tray of cake into the display case. Taking a piece and placing it on a plate, he then sets the plate onto a serving tray.

Moving the mug onto the same tray, he headed to Nari. Neatly placing the cake and tea on her table, she placed a delighted expression at the food.

"Are you a guardian angel or something?" looking up to the tray hugging Taeyong, she asked. His eyes widen just a bit as he was taken aback by her question, his heart beating fast.

"Carrot cake is actually one of my favourites and I really enjoy it with strawberry tea. Thank you," a bright smile appeared on her face, the tired, absentminded Nari gone and replaced with a happy Nari.

"Enjoy before you head back and rest," Taeyong said before heading to the back of the counter. Quickly standing next to Taeil, he looked at Nari enjoying herself as he placed his head on Taeil's shoulder.

"If you really like her, go ask her out then," Taeil spoke to Taeyong who chuckled with laughter at the so in love Taeyong.

"I- I- I just-" mutters being the only thing escaping his mouth, which just made Taeil shook his head in disbelief. "You could ask her out for dinner later, just cook something up and eat it here, there's a lot of ingredients to cook with and there's a lot of machines you could use to make drinks," the oldest suggested, trying to help out the younger one.

"I think I would ask her before someone else does," Taeil continued as he pointed towards Yuta and Doyoung who had obvious glances to Nari. Still having his eyes on her, Nari had called Jisung to accompany her eat.

From afar, reading from her lips, he made out how she was asking on the youngest's crush on Hyebin. As she laughed, he noticed how she told the young lad she would keep his secret.

"I'll try," Taeyong said, finally responding with a sigh to Taeil's words, before heading towards Nari and sitting on the seat adjacent to hers. He felt a bit awkward but then made Jisung sit on his lap.

Warmly looking at how Taeyong being affectionate to Jisung, Nari sipped on her tea as she smiled at the very cute scene in front of her.

"So Nari, would you, I mean if you think you'll be alright that is," stopping his words, Taeyong slightly bit his bottom lip, as he looked at her, peeking out from the back of Jisung's head.

Humming, wanting the male to continue his speech, she munched very slowly on the cake, with her eyes meeting his. Not forgetting how Jisung randomly looked around, feeling awkward for Taeyong.

"Would you like to have dinner here today?" finally letting the question out, his heart began to pound rapidly as if he just got out a ghost house.

"Sure," she replied nodding before reverting her gaze to Jisung. "It would be fine if I brought Hyebin along right?" she teasingly asked, making him stunned at the question.

"I don't think the kids would mind," Taeyong replied and a series of denial followed. Nari turned her head and saw how the younger ones had been seating at a table nearby, eavesdropping.

"And why are you guys rejecting this? It would be cute to see Jisung together with his crush. Won't you guys like seeing him flustered?" an eyebrow raised, the group went silent.

"They also have a liking for Hyebin," Jisung spoke slowly, making it audible only to Nari and Taeyong. In which, didn't work because the others managed to hear him and sent glares to the youngest, who betrayed them.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her, I'll just wait to the day where one of you tell her yourselves," letting loud a giggle, she continued eating her cake.

"Tonight will be a fun night indeed."
