"Finally! School is done for the day!" a female student cheered as she let out a sigh of relief.

"I was having a hard time waiting for Mrs Kim to finish talking. Thank god, I survived her speech," another female student replied with her tone agreeing with her friend.

"Why are you girls so happy about? It's just the end of another day at school. I don't get it..." a male student asked as he swung his bag over his shoulder and look at the girls.

"Like duh, all twelve of them are going to be working today since it's a Friday. And oh my god, they're so handsome and good-looking! I don't think I'll be alright," of the girls exclaimed with an exaggerated motion of fanning herself.

"I know right! I'll go there every day even if I'm not into coffee," the other squealed along and hugged her friend.

"Let's go then! The store's going to be packed if we get there late!" she said as she grabbed her friend's hand and left the boy shaking his head.

"They're just baristas. Even if they're that good looking, they're still normal dudes who could make coffee. What's the big deal anyway? And I can't imagine having to be in a shop full of fangirls. I might need to move far away from these girls if it gets worst."

"Oh... the horror..." he said shivering and walked out of the classroom.





As the sun sets down and the streets began to be illuminated by street lights, shops and moving vehicles, the coffee shop began to be filled with the female population but not forgetting the group of males who came for the same reasons as most of the females were. There was hardly any place left to sit except a table in the corner. The corner where it's impossible to look and drool over the baristas.

Hence why nobody bothered to sit there.

It's not really the quiet calm coffee shop you'd usually see. It's filled with giggles and whispering. Why? A question with a very obvious answer. All because of the baristas. All twelve of them. It's going to take awhile to introduce all of them but here it goes.

There's Minseok, actual barista. The one who could actually make the coffees that are out of this world. He drinks so much coffee, that his blood could be coffee and his lymph nodes coffee beans.

Over there we have Luhan, the one who would blast explicit music on random occasions and give in when his fellow baristas ask him to be cute even when he hates it.

And the tallest is Kris. They practically drool over his gummy smile but he doesn't show it much. It's believed to only appear when the chicken delivery guy arrives whenever he orders fried chicken on his breaks.

That one wearing white pants is Junmyeon, his family funded the whole shop. Well, a major percentage was from his family. Considering how he was the most well-managed among all of them, he would usually be the one to handle stocks and inventory. Would also scold the boys when he finds out that the honey sticks are constantly missing.

Yixing, the one who's currently eating candy. He might look like the most carefree one among them all but he's the silent hard worker who simply loves simple things. Like eating candy.

The one singing the whole time is Baekhyun. The singer who enjoys showing off how he could effortlessly reach the high notes and would casually carry around his mini mochi plushie because he likes it.

Next to display case is Jongdae who's trying to sort out the pastries. Regarded as the joker of the baristas but in reality, he's the one to laugh out loud. Would usually be the one to come with the first aid kit if any of them gets hurt.
