Mr. Baek was a lonely man. Obsessed with his work and getting it done, he worked long hours and hardly ever went out except for company gatherings.

His work ethic even earned him the not so pleasant title “corporate slave.”

The ladies at the company always thought he was handsome but he was just too jaded and looked like he didn’t know how to have fun.

In all honesty

He probably didn’t.

But there was one thing Mr. Baek would always do before work. Getting coffee from his favorite barista.

Every day, before catching the metro to his workplace, Mr. Baek walked to the cafe a block from his apartment complex and ordered the same thing every time. A black coffee. It was the only thing he really liked. He wasn’t a fan of sweets. Which made it ironic when he started crushing on the barista, who was the sweetest man he’d ever met.

Mr. Baek wasn’t the biggest fan of coffee either way, but he would be if it meant seeing that angelic face every morning before an overbearing day.

The bell rang upon entry, Mr. Baek’s worn out expression suddenly lighting up at the sight of the barista. Walking over to make his order, he stopped in his tracks when he spotted the manager yelling at the barista behind the counter. The manager would raise his hand, intending to hit him.

Mr. Baek wasn’t one for confrontations. He would usually just shrink in his seat or nod excessively whenever someone had a problem with him, but now? He grabbed a steaming hot cup of coffee and launched it at the barking manager. He didn’t know why he did it. He had never done anything that wasn’t for himself.

But it felt right.
