See you again. Juwon can’t simply avoid how ominous those parting words are. At his small workplace, which barely occupies half of one floor in the building, there is no exclusive room for meetings. He always has to reserve a table at the cafe on the first floor for important guests and more often than that, weekly meetings.
"Hello."
Lee Hyun's gentle smile greets Juwon for the umpteenth time in so many days.
This time just before today's weekly meeting.
“Is your body okay? Any uncomfortable places―”
“Two Americanos, one caffe latte, all iced, please.”
Juwon cuts off Lee Hyun's question with a level of professionalism that’s almost intimidating. Lee Hyun, a bit taken aback, stares at him for a moment but quickly comes back to reality. He enters the order details without saying anything more.
All business orders made by Juwon's company are usually calculated as postpaid. Lee Hyun does not receive any card or cash, instead he gives out a drawn out receipt.
"I'll pick up the drinks in a bit," says Juwon, checking the receipt.
"No, it's okay... You don't have to. I’ll bring the order to your table."
Instead of arguing with Lee Hyun on keeping appropriate workplace boundaries, Juwon walks to his meeting place without paying the other man any mind. Lee Hyun sighs at the sight.
“What are you doing?” A high-pitched whisper suddenly springs up from beside Lee Hyun, belonging to a woman who’s now frowning in disbelief. On the left side of her black apron, there is a silver name tag that reads 'Manager Eun Nara'.
"You saw that?" No fear can be gleaned from Lee Hyun's face. Instead, he audaciously asks a question in lieu of answering .
"Of course, I did. Since when did we do that kind of service?"
"Oh, I just brainstormed it. Tableside delivery on a first-come-first-serve basis for a limited time only and by limited time I mean the last 3 minutes I speak talking to Sex-On-Legs there."
At Lee Hyun's overly excited reply, Nara makes a sour face. She's clearly fed up.
"You'll get sued, boss." She nags Lee Hyun while giving him two plastic cups to make Juwon's ordered drink.
"What did I do?"
Lee Hyun asks, keeping up the pace with Nara's move.
“Stop looking at that customer. You'll get caught!”
"No can do. That body of his is to die for..."
"Seriously? Come on, just stop it. What if he heard you?"
"He’s heard it already."
"Huh? What? Really?"
Taking the freshly extracted espresso by the surprised Nara, Lee Hyun shrugs nonchalantly.
“Did he try to report you? Are you being sued? You tried to give him settlement money, didn’t you?"
Lee Hyun shakes his head in disbelief. “Why is Manager Eun so confident he's going to sue me?”
"Full offense, but you're the type of pervert that would confuse dirty talk with breathing."
To be fair, Nara's reaction is pretty understandable. When she first applied for a job here, Lee Hyun gave an almost flawless impression. Polite and always smiling. So her jaded view of Lee Hyun is mostly his fault because as it turns out, his flawless first impressions are all fake.
"Tell me, when did I say something dirty yesterday?"
"I’m just saying, that guy works upstairs. You two see each other often so hitting on him will definitely make things awkward. Plus, I think he's straight since he hasn’t show the slightest interest in you the entire time he’s patroned here, Boss."
‘Is that how it looks from another person's perspective? Juwon’s never shown any interest in Lee Hyun?’
Lee Hyun has never actually minded whether or not the person he takes an interest in is gay. His handsome face and natural charisma are already guarantees that he’ll usually get what he wants. There’s even been times when self-proclaimed straight guys would approach him first and say, "It's my first time with a man, but..."
"Do you really think he’s straight?"
"...Why are you asking me? You're the one who was so sure."
"Right."
Yes, Lee Hyun used to believe so too after half a year of observing Juwon's great body. But what the hell was that yesterday? He said he isn’t gay yet he swung his ass his way all the same.
It was clear that at the very least his body wanted another man's touch. Too sensitive and lewd.
"What, are you thinking something dirty again now?"
Nara's sudden nudge startles Lee Hyun. He knows she's just teasing him like she always did, but she really hits the spot. To hide his embarrassment, Lee Hyun returns the tease.
"Well, if I run out of money to pay for the settlement, our manager Eun will surely give me shelter and some free food, no?"
"Smart mouth."
They giggle together. After that, Lee Hyun places the prepared coffees on the tray and starts walking out of the counter with his shoulders back which has the internded effect of having more than half of everyone’s gaze follow him. Indeed, the reason most customers here prefer this cafe is because of Lee Hyun. You won't get better eye candy at other nearby cafes.
"Your coffee is here."
Lee Hyun stops in front of Juwon's table. Juwon glances at the tray in the guy's hands for a split second while still conversing with the people sitting across him.
"I think the schedule you mentioned is good."
Although Lee Hyun is used to seeing him, Juwon's business face looks so foreign. His recent experience touching Juwon's wet and lascivious body has messed his head up.
Carefully placing two plastic cups onto the table, Lee Hyun sneaks a glance to check on Juwon's condition. He’s beenworried because, from the moment this guy entered his cafe, he walked in a weird and slower way than usual. If it was truly his first time, he must be feeling quite uncomfortable now. However, Juwon's sitting posture is straight and firm.
‘How is he holding up so well? Probably, seeing how well his body is trained.’
Lee Hyun turns around. On the way to the counter, he is suddenly reminded of the supplement Juwon gave him. Speaking of which, despite being drenched to the bone yesterday afternoon, he feels fine today. He didn’t catch a cold.
Is it thanks to the supplement? Probably. But what’s for sure is, the yesterday's intense sex played a big role. His body is now fit and perfect and beyond healthy.
