noel hasn’t spent much time with his pets lately, having been moved to the project green dorms and forced to leave behind his pets. his sister is staying at his apartment for the moment, taking care of his pets, and he’s sure she’s doing a good job, but that doesn’t mean he misses them any less. usually he’d be able to see them once practice was done, now he barely saw them. and he couldn’t hold on much longer, so he left practice a bit early, just for a single day, returning home for a short time before taking his dog for a walk.

sunhee shouldn't be doing this – really, she shouldn't. but she doesn't care enough to think about the consequences, and it's not as though she's doing anything bad. if anything she'll call it good customer service. taejun's a regular customer and she's seen him enough times to be comfortable in his presence.

so in all honesty, sunhee doesn't see any harm in letting him stay a little longer than business hours as she cleans up the cafe. she's on the closing shift, and her co-worker had been forced to run off after an emergency. so really, sunhee actually quite liked and enjoyed the extra company that taejun presented to her.

she goes behind the counter, and pulls out a cake; a cheesecake, their last one for the day, before she puts it on a plate, and places it in front of taejun. "for you," she smiles, "it's on the house, since you're keeping me company and all!"

stevie actually kind of looks forward to his working shifts. the coffee shop he works at has a decent amount of traffic, never slow enough where stevie wants to slam his head on the counter in boredom. it's busy enough, making the hours fly by-- and stevie likes it. it's a different kind of grind than what he does at studio delta, and stevie doesn't suck at it, surprisingly.

he also gets to see new people, meet new people and make new friends. he doesn't mind the companies or axis or the people he sees there-- but having one day a week where he gets to see people he doesn't get to see super often is a nice refresher.

"your usual," stevie sings as he sets it down next to taejun, a customer he's served a few times before. his smile is practically a beam as he straightens up, glancing around to make sure no one else needs immediate help. there's a couple of his co-workers behind the counter assisting people, so stevie's pretty sure he has a few minutes of yapping before he needs to bounce back.
