TW // They talked about blood. Nothing violence but just Seungmin explaining about donated blood and fresh human blood.

Changbin placed down a cup of cappuccino on the table.
" Here's your order sir. " Changbin said, didn't forget to smile to the customer before leaving. Being polite and friendly towards the customer is important when working in the cafe.

" One americano please. Take out. " The customer said to Chan.

" One americano! Take out! " Chan repeated for the other to hear.

Seungmin didn't even say anything before processing to make the iced americano. Hyunjin who was making coffee himself looked at Seungmin from the corner of his eyes and smiled. They are lucky they got someone to help them. The cafe was oddly full today, usually it is calming but that day they hardly got to sit down.

Seungmin was like part of them now, they are all getting usual to with Seungmin around them now and Seungmin too got used to being around them now. Also got used to helping around the cafe. He really enjoys it. As much as Hyunjin does. It felt nice finally got something to do in his daily life instead of walking around, avoiding the sun, and sometimes even stealing food. It just felt nice. Almost felt like he's home once again.

It goes like that all day, all of the members being very busy. It is easy for them to cooperate since all of them know how to make coffee, know how to cook (what's in their menu), know how to take order, and place order. They all makes a perfect team!

After the last customer left, they all fell apart. Not even caring where they were sitting anymore. It really was a tiring day for them, but they were sure they got a lot of money from that day. Despite being tired they were satisfied.

" AAAAAAAAA. " Minho suddenly screamed and everyone looked at him.

" What's the matter? " Chan asked and Minho gave them a gummy smile.

" Just wanted to scream. " He said and the room filled with all of the member's laugh which was a despair because they were tired enough and laughing just made it worst.

" But i think all of us wouldn't have done it without a person. " Jisung suddenly brought up and Seungmin quickly looked at him with a smile. Jisung couldn't help but giggled.

" Hahahaha cute~~~ " Jisung said while playfully giving him a little scratch under his chin. Seungmin playfully slapped his hand away, still having his smile on his face.

" Yes. Thank you for helping us. " Hyunjin smiled to Seungmin, he couldn't help but feel happy from all the member's praises. It really feels nice working in the cafe together with the others.

❄️❄️❄️

Seungmin walked out of the bathroom and sighed in relieved. The bath felt nice. Hyunjin was already laying on his bed, ready to sleep.

" You don't need me to help you take a bath anymore? " Hyunjin laughed and Seungmin threw the towel he was holding to his face. Hyunjin chuckled as he saw Seungmin glared at him.

Then Seungmin sat at the floor beside Hyunjin's bed. Hyunjin smiled and moved the the side of his bed to reach his drawer. Seungmin looked at Hyunjin but the next thing he knew was Hyunjin holding something and pointed it at his head.

Seungmin leaped away from here.

" Why are you keeping a pistol?! " Seungmin was terrified and Hyunjin got his jaw dropped and then he laughed loudly. Seungmin was still concerned while backing away more and more.

" This is NOT a pistol. This is a hairdryer. " Hyunjin said and Seungmin furrowed his eyebrows. He approached Hyunjin and looked at the strange thing.

" What for? " Seungmin asked while keep on staring at it and Hyunjin turned it on.

It then made a loud noise and shoot out wind and Seungmin jumped, surprised. Hyunjin laughed again and turned it off.

" For drying your hair of course. " Hyunjin said as he backed away a bit before patting the bed, telling Seungmin to sit there. Seungmin still didn't quiet trust that thing but he still did anyway. He sat down with his legs crossed in-front of Hyunjin, facing him.

Hyunjin chuckled about to say that he was supposed to face the other way around but decided that that'll work too. Seungmin watched as Hyunjin lifted the hairdryer up and pointed it to Seungmin's head. He closed one eye, preparing for the loud noise that the hairdryer will make. Hyunjin turned it on and Seungmin jumped a bit but at the end relaxed anyway and let Hyunjin took care of his silver hair.

Hyunjin ran his fingers through Seungmin's soft silver locks. He loves the feeling of Seungmin's hair in his hand because they are very soft and it is very beautiful for him. He was busy staring at his hair when Seungmin just narrowed his eyes because the position they were in was pretty awkward. If any member suddenly barged into the room then they would get the wrong idea.

" Is this your natural hair color? " Hyunjin suddenly asked out of nowhere. He asked. Seungmin was a bit surprised because it was not usual for Hyunjin to ask him questions like this. Seungmin learnt a lot about humans but Hyunjin doesn't really know much about vampires.

" Yes. It is. " Seungmin said. He never really liked his own hair color because he thought it's weird. He thought of dying them a few times but he got no money so he couldn't.

" Beautiful. "

But how surprised he was when Hyunjin said that. Seungmin looked at him in the eyes and Hyunjin felt this weird feeling hitting his heart, his hands stopped for a second before he shook out of his thoughts and smiled.

" Your hair. I think it is very beautiful. " He said while smiling brightly as he continued adoring his hair.

Seungmin finally smiled too.
" Thanks. " He said with a warm smile. He never really get that kind of compliment in his own life. He never really hoped he'll get that kind of compliment anyway until Hyunjin told him that.

" Vampires used to drinks blood directly from human. But now vampires drink donated blood right? " Hyunjin asked and Seungmin nodded. Hyunjin nodded in understatement, but that wasn't exactly the main question.

" So... Can vampires still do that? Drinking blood directly from humans? " Hyunjin asked and Seungmin gave him another nod.

" Of course we can. But basically we just don't do that anymore, that's very old fashioned. " He said and Hyunjin listened to him with full attention. He seemed like he do really wanna learn about vampires more, Seungmin thought.

" Interesting. Does donated blood taste the same with fresh blood then? " Hyunjin asked and Seungmin chuckled.

" Of course not. Donated blood got some chemical substances in them so you can keep them for long. While fresh blood, they are directly from the human's body. Of course it'll taste better! " Seungmin explained.

Then Hyunjin stared at Seungmin's mouth and the vampire boy got confused.
" What? "

Hyunjin shook his head.
" Nah. It's just.. Your fangs are not that sharp, how would you drink directly from humans? " Hyunjin asked before staring at his hair again.

Seungmin scoffed.
" I never really had a plan on drinking directly from humans but fun fact for you, i can actually enlarge my fangs. Once they are sharp, it'll be easy to pierce through human's skin. Would you like that? " Seungmin smirked and Hyunjin hissed.

" That'll hurt, A LOT. " Hyunjin said and Seungmin giggled. Of course he was joking about it, he never had a thought of drinking directly.

Hyunjin then turned off the hairdryer and placed them aside. And then he fixed his hair that was messy before smiling proudly.
" Done. " He smiled before yawning. Seungmin chuckled.

" We should go to sleep now. We don't know how busy we will be tomorrow. " Seungmin said as he stood up, leaving Hyunjin's bed and sat down at the floor where he usually sleep. Hyunjin looked at him and bit his bottom lips. He seemed like he got something to say but the words just didn't come out of his mouth. So he just walked towards the light switch which was beside the door and turned off the light, setting the room in a comfortable dimness.

" Goodnight. " Seungmin said. Was ready to lie down until Hyunjin finally said something.

" Wait. "

Seungmin then looked at him, it was hard to see in the dark but he could still saw Hyunjin's face, even thought it was pretty dark. Seungmin didn't say anything, just waited for Hyunjin to say what he wanted to say.

" Er.... " Hyunjin started off. Seungmin was still waiting.

" Do you maybe wanna sleep on the bed? " Hyunjin asked, tone sounded a bit awkward remembering he was the reason why Seungmin was sleeping on the floor until then.

" Nah. It's fine. " Seungmin answered. Hyunjin couldn't really see what expression Seungmin was making but he sounded pretty calm judging from his tone.

" I feel bad. I mean how can i sleep on the bed while you're on the floor? " Hyunjin said and the next second Seungmin was already beside him on the bed.

" Okay then i'll sleep on the bed. " He said giggling and Hyunjin could only gave him a " -_- " face. Seungmin then lie down comfortably, back facing Hyunjin.

Hyunjin was sleepy but for some reason he wasn't anymore. He could only stare at Seungmin's back.
" Seungmin..? " Hyunjin called out quietly and Seungmin only hummed in response.

" Are you asleep? " Hyunjin asked.

" Not yet.. I literally just laid down for a few minutes. " Seungmin answered jokingly and Hyunjin chuckled.

" I wanna ask something is that okay? " Hyunjin asked and of course Seungmin didn't mind.

" Sure. "

Suddenly Hyunjin hesitated and fell silent for a few second.

" Hyunjin? Are you still there? "

" Ah. Yes yes. " Hyunjin answered. He was still thinking would it be better for him not to ask, but he was really curious. Because he doesn't want Seungmin to keep anything from him, jsut wanted to be a closer friends with him. So hopes that Seungmin could really rely on him.
