You were currently in your favourite coffee shop. Your laptop opened in front of you as you were busy completing your school project. You looked towards the counter, impatiently waiting for your coffee and doughnuts.

From the corner of your eye, you saw someone looking at you. You turned your head to see but the boy quickly glanced away. You faced your laptop again. You felt his eyes on you again, so you turned your head in his direction, this time he maintained eye contact for two seconds but looked away again. You had become conscious of your movements. But then your name was called out and you got up to get your order.

You placed the tray on the table and sat down. You placed your hand on the cool cup and brought the straw to your lips, the cold, bitter liquid giving you comfort. You decided to eat the doughnuts after the project was complete.

"Hey," you lifted your head to look at the owner of the voice and saw the boy from earlier.

"Hi," you said flatly, not sure if he was a stalker.

He drew a hand from behind his back which had a thin deck of cards. "Up for a little magic?" He asked smiling. You couldn't help but mimic his smile and nod. He took the seat across from you and spread the cards in his hands.

"Choose any card from the ones you see, but don't tell me," he blinked slowly.

Six of clubs. You thought. "Done."

"Now add five to that number." You gave a nod.

"Okay, now close your eyes and think of another card, any card."

Queen of spades.

"Okay," you said.

"Don't open your eyes yet," he instructed. You waited for further instructions. Three seconds passed and you didn't hear his voice, so you opened your eyes only to find him missing. Confused, you looked around but he was nowhere to be seen. You shook your head and went back to your laptop. A while later you felt a little hungry so you reached for your doughnuts but realized they were missing.

That little thieving rat! Wait till I get my hands on him! You silently cursed while clenching your hand in a fist. Well, at least he spared your coffee.

The next day you were in the coffee shop again, doing your homework when a worker brought a tray and placed it in front of you. It had doughnuts, the same ones you had bought yesterday. "I didn't ask for these," your voice showed your confusion.

"I know miss, someone ordered these for you," he said before leaving. You saw a folded paper in the tray. You picked it up and read it:

Sorry about your doughnuts. Hope you liked the magic trick;)
- Haechan.

You looked around and saw the devil sitting at the far end of the shop, a nervous smile on his face. You couldn't help but smile at him again, this made his smile brighter and get the courage to get up and talk to you again.
