The last time the cute guy, Giuk (unless he’s giving a fake name for his orders), visited he left his number on the receipt. Then crossed it out to the point it became illegible. Then wrote his instagram handle right underneath, just to cross it out too - he just didn’t do that good of a job. Good enough that you were not able to find him due to the missing letters, though. 

And sure, maybe if you were overthinking it you could persuade yourself that he wasn’t leaving his number for you. For someone else, maybe? But then again you were the only person he kept looking at - and that’s including the friends he usually comes in with. Flattering, very flattering. You wish he cut it with the slow burn, though.

“I’m gonna scam him,” you smirk at your coworker. 

Before he can question you further, though, the customers make a move. The friend orders first and you swear he gives your victim a meaningful look before walking off to the side to wait for his drink. Then your cute guy steps up.

“Hello,” he greets as usual, fiddling the phone in his hand. As expected, he orders the same as usual. You almost want to call him out. While you’re ringing him up, he opens and closes his mouth a couple times, like he wants to say something. He never does, though, so you pretend to make a mistake to have an excuse to put his order in again and give him a chance to try one more time. He doesn’t, even if you give him a curious look. He looks away. You can’t help but think he looks disappointed.

“You know there’s this promo event going on,” you say nonchalantly, the script well-rehearsed in your head, “If you follow the cafe on instagram there’s a small sale on your order. Unless you’re already following.”

“Oh, I’m not, wait a minute.” 

It’s adorable, the way Giuk jumps at the opportunity and also keeps looking at you as if you’re gonna walk away if he takes too long - and not even acknowledging you haven’t said anything to his friend. He shows you his screen as he taps the follow button and smiles warmly when you thank him. 

“No, thank you,” he hesitates for a second, “Do you have to follow the page too since you’re working here?”

Mentally you raise an eyebrow at that. Does he want to play the same game you’re about to? If so, maybe you should put your plan on hold a little… No. He’d just drag it out anyway.

“We don’t but most of us do,” you shrug, “It’s a good way to get reminders about the news.”

He nods, again seemingly trying to find words while you put the employee discount on his order (nobody will know anyway) and he has to pay. He lingers for a bit longer when everything is done and carefully takes the receipt from you. 

Your coworker is already done with both of their orders in the meantime and readily hands them over, effectively chasing him away, before crowding you as you hide to pull out your phone.

“Explain?” he prompts before invading your personal space.

“Remember how I couldn’t find him from that scribble? I should be able to guess it now if I see that name-” Bingo. But he really needs to work on his handwriting. 

“Oh?” he’s already leaning over your shoulder to see. 

The profile is private but how many people still wear leopard print and have such pretty earrings? Here goes nothing, you think as you press the follow button and promptly hide the phone back into your pocket. You return to your tasks as if nothing happened, your nosy coworker whining behind you. Probably for the first time, it’s you nervously checking on the crushing guy. 

He’s already on his phone and then, all of a sudden, he freezes. After a beat he looks up, eyes wide and mouth agape. You send him a sheepish smile that quickly grows when you see Giuk brighten up. You feel your phone vibrate and take it out. As expected, there’s a request waiting for you too. As soon as you accept it, he sends the first message.

🐶 things had just been generally frustrating for Yonghoon, his computer crashed and tech was just not working for him

🐶 coming home to you cuddled up on the couch, with his favourite food being kept warm in the oven is what he needed

🐶 it was like you knew he needed you, and as soon as he was ready and comfortable you opened your arms for cuddles

🐶 he isn’t ready to talk about it, he’s still frustrated and he doesn’t want to lash out at you

🐶 run your fingers through his hair, he will calm down immediately

“thank you sweetheart, you always know what i need.”

🦊 nothing was particularly wrong today, he had just woken up on the wrong side of the bed and had been grumpy

🦊 to comfort him he needs hugs and quality time

🦊 just sitting by your side, listening to your voice helps him to relax and calm down

🦊 you’re a safe space for him, and while he might be a little snippy at times with you, he doesn’t mean it

🦊 he loves you too much to let a bad mood affect him when he’s by your side :’)

“i’m sorry i was grumpy with you babe. i love you so much~”

🐧 the lyrics he needed weren’t coming to him and it was really annoying him. his brain has been overloaded and he can’t think clearly

🐧 to comfort Kanghyun visit him in the studio, bring him his favourite drink and his favourite person and he’ll feel a little better

🐧 cuddle with him while he tries to write, he won’t feel completely better until he finishes this task

🐧 but!! lyrics are coming easier to him now because his muse is here

🐧 he’s more relaxed and his mind is clearer with you here, and soon he’s ready to go home:3

“what would i do without you love? i don’t think i would ever finish this without you.”

☀️ everyone has their off days and Dongmyeong had been struggling with his voice, he had been sick and is voice was still a little shaky

☀️ he was really frustrated that his body wasn’t cooperating with him

☀️ to comfort him he needs cuddles, and kisses and reassuring words

☀️ kiss his cheeks, cuddle him close, run your fingers through his hair and whisper some comforting words, he really appreciates it

☀️ he also may fall asleep and that will also help him feel better emotionally and physically

“i just don’t feel very good right now, thank you for making me feel a little better honey.”

🐹 his bass strings keep breaking on him, this has been the fourth time he changed the strings and he was getting frustrated

🐹 poor boy is so stressed about the fact he can’t record his part without his bass

🐹 to comfort him you’ll need to first pull him away from his work, and get him to eat something

🐹 then just some hugs and kisses (especially if you pepper kisses all over his face) and he’ll feel so much better

🐹 food always helps to clear his head, plus he has you by his side to make him smile:3

🫧yonghoon:

i see him as a soft dom. he could sub if you wanted him to but for the most part i think he’d like taking control and telling you what to do and where to go. i think he could be serious or funny in the moment, just depends on your mood and how he’s feeling. i also see him as being rather vocal, especially when he’s close or when he’s super into pleasuring you, just moaning into your cunt or burying his face in your neck as he ruts his hips against yours :( he would love eating you out, pushing his bulge into the bed as he tries to get some friction. i think he would love to tease but not in a mean way, would love how much he can get you worked up from the smallest things. it’s a huge ego boost for him. after care with yonghoon would be so sweet, he’d probably be really exhausted afterwards and would just wanna hold you as you both calm down. he’d clean you up and then run the shower for you both, always kissing you and making sure you’re good :) he’d probably also tease you quite a bit afterwards, like mocking your moans or the faces you made, but he does it out of adoration. it’s probably for the best if you tease him back, he loves bantering with you :)) (ps. he’d love it if you wore his shirt afterwards…)

☁️harin:

i went back and forth between him being a hard or soft dom but ultimately i think he’s a hard dom. i could see him being really into teasing you and pushing you to your limits (with your consent of course). i think he’d be into degradation, edging, and punishments (all giving of course). this man loves your ass and would almost always have you face down ass up as he pushes into you at a quick pace. he loves seeing you ruined for him and even likes seeing you cry because of how good he makes you feel. he may be mean for most of the time you’re fucking, but if you behave he will let you come at the end, either on his dick or his fingers, those are the only options here. he’d like choking you and making you suck on his fingers. probably would also love to spit in your mouth every once in a while if you’re into that too. despite harin being a hard dom, i think he would be so gentle and caring afterwards. he’d ask a million times if you’re okay, if he was too rough, how you’re feeling etc. would definitely be smiley and laugh a lot as he cleans you both up and then asks if you need a drink or a bath or something. would 100% spoon you and scratch your arm gently as you talk afterwards :(

🪐kanghyun: 

honestly i see him as a soft dom/service top with some switch tendencies. i don’t think he cares about roles and will do whatever you want him to. want him to dom you all night long? sure! do you want to completely ruin him? he’d try that too! he just wants to make you happy and is such a sweet lover :( i think he’s a real service top and will do anything to make you feel good. i don’t really see him as being too kinky, i think his favorite thing to do would be fingering you, i mean my god have you seen what that man’s fingers do on a guitar?? he would make you feel SO good. other than that i think he’d like missionary or having you ride him. i could see him liking cockwarming as well but will probably tease you the whole time. after care with hyungu is interesting to me, of course i think he would be very attentive and caring, but ultimately just wants to lay back down with you and cuddle before falling asleep. if he’s not that tired, will probably wanna lay down facing each other so you can talk about your day and please be sure to tell him how much you love him and how well he did, he will absolutely love it even if he gets shy <333

🤍dongmyeong:

like hyungu, i don’t think dongmyeong cares about roles in the bedroom and will do whatever feels best for both of you. i don’t see him as a dom or a sub, so i think he’s just a switch. he’d be a soft dom when you want him to be, and then he’d be a bratty sub when it’s your turn to dom. would probably like making you mad and would tease the shit out of you when he’s subbing. probably also when he’s a dom as well. he just loves getting a rise out of you and seeing you annoyed. on the other hand, it can be fun to do the same to him and maybe he will punish you somehow, like making you finish yourself off or tying your hands up so you can’t touch him. he’s truly open to anything and just wants you to feel good! i see dongmyeong as loving to run you both a bath after sex, he likes it bc it’s a good way for you to get clean while also still being able to talk and be with each other. would get you some water or tea and your favorite snack and then put in your favorite bath bomb and gently wash your entire body as you talk about your day together <3

🐚cya:

adopting a hybrid had been a goal of yours for awhile, you had saved up a bunch of money and gotten everything you thought you would need for the hybrid you had been working with for awhile. Son Dongmyeong was a golden retriever hybrid; sweet, energetic, full of life and the cutest hybrid you had ever seen. you had promised Dongmyeong that you would adopt him today, but when you got to the shelter you found Dongmyeong had already been adopted.

“we’re really sorry y/n, a new staff member had him adopted before we could stop them. they didn’t know that you were going to adopt him.” Helen, your favourite staff member at the shelter, whispered. she looked down at her hands, “there’s nothing we can do about it, i know how much you loved him.” she sighed, you shook your head “it’s not your fault, don’t worry. i’m sure i’ll find another hybrid someday.” a few tears spilled onto your cheeks. none would be as perfect for you as Dongmyeong.

at home you found yourself tucking away everything you had bought for your hybrid with teary eyes, today was just not your day. you spent the next couple of days in a low mood, you would visit Dongmyeong often at the shelter and he never failed to make you happy but now he was just out of your reach.

a couple of weeks after your disappointment you visited the shelter again. much to your surprise Dongmyeong had been returned, and sat sadly in a corner. he looked dejected and stared at the floor, not looking anyone in the eye. normally he would have been smiling and laughing with the other hybrids. he was especially good with the little ones, today his normal sunshine was dampened by rain.

you walked over to Helen first, “why was Dongmyeong returned? he was always so sweet with me.” you asked quietly, Helen shrugged. “they said he bit their daughter and that they didn’t think he was a good fit for their family.” she replied. confusion was written all over your face, Helen sighed “if you still want to adopt him, go ahead. he was always a sweetheart especially to you so i’m sure he’ll be fine.” her tone was exhausted and heavy.

you approached Dongmyeong in the corner, “hey Myeongie, how’s my favourite boy?” you asked him. he looked up, shocked to see you but also the happiest you had seen him since you got here. “y/n! i thought you would have found another hybrid by now.” Dongmyeong pouted. “how could i have found another hybrid when you were the hybrid i was going to adopt?” your question hangs in the air. Dongmyeong looks down and shrugs. “now let’s see about those adoption papers.” you smiled at him, he looked surprised. “you still want me? even though i was returned?” he asked, shocked. “of course Myeong, that is if you still want me to adopt you?” you questioned, half jokingly half a little scared he’ll say no. Dongmyeong looked at you with the biggest smile, and nodded enthusiastically. “yes! yes i do!”

after adopting him you found that Dongmyeong was just as sweet as he was in the shelter. you couldn’t for the life of you figure out why he would have bitten a little girl and been returned. that is until you came home one day and the golden retriever sitting on your couch was not Dongmyeong. he was a little bit bigger than Dongmyeong but much thinner. when you approached him, he growled at you. “hello there,” you kept your voice low, “what’s your name?” the hybrid looked at you confused. his form changed and immediately you saw the resemblance, he looked like Dongmyeong. they weren’t exactly the same, but they were definitely related. “you knew i wasn’t Dongmyeong? how did you know? no one ever can tell when we switch places.” he seemed very distressed. you smiled, “you don’t look exactly like him, you don’t act like him either. i’m guessing you’re fraternal twins, right?” he nodded slowly.

“i’m usually the one taking care of Dongmyeong, he’s too trusting sometimes and gets himself into bad situations. even if he’s older he can act like he’s the younger one,” Dongju (as you had learned his name was) sighed, “we were in the shelter together once. they adopted us separately, we ran away from those homes and decided that if no one could tell the difference between us we would ditch places in one home. Dongmyeong always volunteered to be in the shelter, sometimes he would sneak food to me outside if he could. the last home he was in, when we switched places the little girl kept yanking on my ears and so i bit her. i didn’t mean to! i’ve just been on the street so long that i’m used to retaliating!” Dongju whimpered quietly, you sighed patting his head lightly. “it’s okay Dongju, i’ll take care of you now. both of you.” you said gently, his head perked up and he smiled. “really?? you mean it??” you nodded at him, “that is, if you can call Myeongie back.” you raised an eyebrow at Dongju.
