restless nights; lee minho

[listening to] .... babybaby; suran

Hi bubs, may I request a college au with Minho where the reader works at the coffee shop on campus (saving money because college is expensive af) and Minho having no sleep needs coffee, bus is awakened by the beauty of the reader?

can you do coffee shop minho but he’s like, totally not coffee shop material haha like he’s a dancer or something and school isn’t his thing and hes just really flirty?? if that makes sense????? thank you!!!! <3

okay so these two were a bit similar

so me and my third eye decided to combine them

bc coffee au x college au WITH MINHO? bitch its an experience

so basically as the struggling college student you are who is living off of ramen noodles and the potato chips you found in the back of your cabinet last semester, you decided to get a job

but lets get real who the hell wants to work

luckily the sweet old lady who owns the cafe down the block from your campus recently decided to go 24 hours

which meant more shifts available

and meant you could maybe eat something besides ramen noodles and god was that a blessing.

luckily you had afternoon classes, so working the night shift wasn’t an issue, plus it was only ever just you and a few customers, so the shift was quiet, peaceful, and you could get extra studying in when customers weren’t bothering you.

for months working there it was peaceful, almost too peaceful, on the verge of being mind-numbingly boring

the only people who ever came in were miserable college students and old men who played bingo in the back

until a week before finals, a boy who looked like he hasn’t slept in a billion years came stumbling inside, making all types of noise and heavy rap music blasting through his headphones, ruining the previously peaceful atmosphere

he doesn’t look like the type of boy to be in a coffee shop

he had this rugged look about him, hair an absolute mess and shoved inside of a beanie messily, his clothing a bit oversized and hanging off his body, and an adidas duffel bag alongside his backpack hanging off his shoulders

probably an athlete of some sort

he was your only customer you had all night

the boy clearly lacked sleep, after he threw all his shit on a random table in the corner of the cafe, he stumbled over towards the counter eyes lazily meeting yours

as cliche as it is, the moment his eyes landed on your face, it’s like a surge of energy ran through his body

he immediately straightened his figure, clearing his throat before trying to smile nicely, his previously pale face warming up to a shade of pretty pink

“h-hi..” he mutters nervously, and you greet him nicely with what you’ve been trained to say to everyone that walks in.

“hello! what can i get for you tonight? we’re doing a promotion for our night owls, free refills on all lattes after midnight!” you say with a bright smile and you swear you see him melt right then and there before he shakes his head and lets out of small laugh

“honestly, i don’t even really like coffee.” he admits and you turn your head in a bit of confusion

“so what exactly are you doing at a coffee shop?” you ask amusedly, and the boy with eye bags deeper than oceans looks up to meet eyes with you and maybe it was you melted that this time

he was... cute, dare you say the cutest boy you’ve ever seen, although you know most people wouldn’t consider this look he was sporting to be too attractive... i mean the boy had a hole in his shirt and his hair looks like it hasn’t been brushed in days

“well there’s one thing i hate more than coffee.” he says simply, taking off his beanie briefly and running his fingers through his hair

and just fuck it killed you

“it’s getting kicked off the dance team because i’m failing organic chemistry. also now that i’m here, a pretty face like yours is definitely a reason to stick around” he says with a wink.

god where the hell did this boy come from

it was ass o clock and he clearly hadn’t slept in what looked like days but the flirtatious parts of his brain were working harder than the u.s marines.

you stammered on your next words, cheeks dusting a slight pink, “u-uh-””

“i just need something that will wake me up, i have a quiz at noon tomorrow and i haven’t studied at all, whip me up something real good yeah?”

in with that he drops a bill on the table, saying a quick keep the change babe before he winks one last time, turns around and heads back to his seat

well its safe to say your kidney imploded

why was he so ridiculously attractive?

you couldn’t even move for a few moments after he walked away, and you swore you heard chuckles coming from his corner of the cafe, the little shit was amused by it all wasn’t he?

shaking your head, you start queueing up an order for your favorite latte on the menu with the most amount of caffeine possible. the boy looked dead, he’d need lots of it.

how exactly were you going to even give the boy his damn drink

even pushing the buttons for placing his order had your face burning red

nonetheless you make the drink to the best of your ability, never bothering to care about measurements but fuck when its a customer that beautiful? suddenly you love your job, call you the world’s finest barista.

while the coffee brewed, you couldn’t help but gaze dazedly at the boy across the room.

he came here to study but it looked like he was already knocked out cold, head resting in his arms, his face completely exposed and you just abashedly admired his charms and beauty from afar.

when the drink was finally done, you almost didn’t want to move his figure, but if the mountain of papers next to his body was anything to go by, he needed to be up and working.

you nudge him slightly, “white chocolate mocha with five shots of espresso.” you state simply, proud of yourself for not stuttering

his eyes slowly open, falling onto you and the cup in your hands

he smiles kindly at you, thanking you before taking the drink out of your hands

“let me know if you like it, if there’s any changes you want made I can fix it no problem!” thank goodness for all the training and practice you’ve had saying your directed lines, if it wasn’t for the training you’d probably be stumbling over every syllable.

he takes a sip, and instantly his eyes widen.

“woah, i don’t even like coffee, but this is fucking amazing.” he compliments and you smile at him gratefully before taking your leave back behind the counter

the rest of the night is slow, just the sound of the boy typing away at his computer and the occasional turn of a page as you try to cram through reading a literature essay.

“ahem”

you look up, it’s the boy again, a mischiveous smile on his face

“could i get that refill?” he asks but there’s a lilt to his voice, something that makes you feel like he’s onto something, but you just nod regardless, turning around and whipping it up for him

he takes it thankfully and winks again

you go back to your essay

fifteen minutes pass, and you hear footsteps walking towards the front counter again

“refill?” he says with a grin and you tilt your head slightly, “i just gave you one?”

“i already finished it, it’s free refills after midnight right?”

“well yeah but-”

“okay so i’d like a refill on my white chocolate mocha latte with five shots of espresso.” he says with a stupid grin and you find yourself getting slightly annoyed with the boy and his antics but nonetheless you turn around and prepare another drink for him

this goes on for another hour

you’ve made him like eight drinks

and god knows how he hasn’t exploded from all the liquid in his system

it isn’t until 4am, just an hour before your shift ends that the boy finally rises out of his seat, nine drinks later, stretching

he begins packing up his stuff and you can’t tell if you’re relieved or kind of upset that he’s leaving.

he stops by the counter one last time before he goes, sliding a paper your way

“y’know i ordered all those drinks in hopes that you’d write your number down on one of them, but, seems like you didn’t get my drama reference.” that dumb smirk is back on his face and your face is burning up again, a laugh slipping past your lips

“instead of abusing me at work like this, you could’ve just asked for my number, you know that right? i went through like a pound of coffee beans and a carton of creamer because of you.”

“and to think every cup was delicious to the last drop... you need a raise, really.” he slides a piece of paper toward you, “text me and maybe i can make you coffee next time?”

“you dont even like coffee, do you even know how to make it?”

“i’ll learn.”

“just for me? wow what a charmer you are.”

“i get that a lot.” he winks

“is your eye okay? you’ve winked like fifty times tonight.” you tease

“technically it’s morning.”

“technically you’re irritating.”

he chuckles at your sassiness.

“you’re cute. ... y/n?” he reads your nametag

“hate to say it but you’re kind of cute too.....” you hesitate for a moment, realizing you dont know his name

“minho, lee minho, i gotta get going, but text me, or else i’m coming back here tomorrow and i’m gonna order a hundred cups this time.”

“i’m going to ban you from ever coming back to this cafe.”

“you’d never.”

“what makes you so sure of that?”

“well, if you did, who would you stare at all night if i wasn’t here?” for fucks sake he winks again and even makes a kissy face before throwing his backpack over his shoulder

“text me!” is all he shouts before leaving and you cup your face trying to calm the heat in your cheeks

you do text him, in fact you talk for hours, but he still decides to come to bother you for another night and it seemingly never ends as minho becomes a regular at the cafe.

you aren’t complaining though, the night shift isn’t so lonely with him here.

let’s talk! („ᵕᴗᵕ„) [cc] https://curiouscat.me/chansmaid

Question thingy cos I’m procrastinating going to bed which I will be heavily regretting at 7:30 when I have to get up for class but yolo

Spotify, SoundCloud, or Pandora? I don’t really use any of them tbh, like, I like to have all of my music in iTunes/on my phone - but if I ever stream music it’s actually normally on YouTube.

is your room messy or clean? Right now it’s very messy, I was supposed to clean it days ago but I’m lazy.

what color are your eyes? Blue.

do you like your name? why? I’ve always been indifferent to it - or, really, it’s that depersonalised feel where I tell people my name is Christina and I answer to Christina but when I start to think about it, say it out loud slowly and mindfully, it feels like a foreign object in my mouth. So I try not to do that because that’s uncomfortable as fuck. But anyway, yeah, indifferent, but ever since I learned about Christina Mirabilis and how much she has come to mean to me, it’s better, like, it feels like fate I guess. If such a thing exists, which is another thing I am ambivalent about.

what is your relationship status? extremely single so if anyone wants to take one for the team and date me, that would be swell.

describe your personality in 3 words or less? neurotic, means well.

what color hair do you have? purple

what kind of car do you drive? colour? sadly I do not have a car, but I do have a scooter, it’s silver.

where do you shop? like, as in where do I buy my groceries? Haha lmao but honestly this is so vague. Bitch I’m poor and fat, I shop anywhere where I can find something that doesn’t look completely hideous and that my card won’t get declined trying to buy.

how would you describe your style? see above. Would like to dress way cooler than I do but lack of money, and - more importantly, since thrift shops are a thing when you’re skinny - being fat.

favorite social media account? Tumblr I guess, even though it’s often incredibly frustrating, because Facebook is a shitstain on the fabric of humanity and I don’t have Twitter and rarely use Instagram.

what size bed do you have? double.

any siblings? little sister, she’s 25, lives in Melbourne.

if you can live anywhere in the world where would it be? why? somewhere that is perpetually warm, where I can speak the language well enough to practice as a clinical psychologist, but still in a big city - I’m thinking either Sydney or Queensland, or California. South of France would be fucking lit too, I guess I know enough French that I could become fluent with total immersion. Anyway, I just want to be warm year-round, seasonal depression always kicks my ass, I fucking loathe being cold.

favorite snapchat filter? fuck man I don’t know, I don’t remember the last time I used a snapchat filter.

favorite makeup brand(s) depends on which type of makeup, I have different favourite brands for different products. But, generally, cheap, I guess. Although my two favourite makeup items are an eyeshadow that I got from Topshop, and a Makeup Revolution highlight.

how many times a week do you shower? most days.

favorite tv show? that is a really difficult question, I have so many favourites. Right now it’s Game of Thrones, obviously. But I think Dollhouse is possibly my all-time favourite TV show. And right now I’m watching Vikings, which I’m fucking loving, just finished the second season. Although HONESTLY I don’t give a fuck about Princess Aslaug, when the fuck are Ragnar and Lagertha gonna get back together because Lagertha is my fucking bae.

shoe size? normally 7 or 8 in NZ sizes, or 38EU.

how tall are you? 5′2″ of pure queer fury.

sandals or sneakers? docs.

do you go to the gym? lmao.

describe your dream date? I’ve done this before but basically - luxury version with the girl I’m in love with involves long extended holiday wandering around the Mediterranean and just having lazy days of eating and napping and swimming and having sex and exploring and shopping. Other than that, I just really love to go to an outdoor bar on a warm summer’s afternoon and have sangria or margaritas or wine and antipasto or tapas, and just chill and chat, and maybe have a sneaky cigarette. just, like, yeah. perfect.

how much money do you have in your wallet at the moment? none, I don’t carry cash most of the time.

what color socks are you wearing? grey with black polka dots, with a rabbit on each, they used to have pom poms on them for the rabbit’s tale but they’ve long since disintegrated.

how many pillows do you sleep with? I sleep on one pillow but I have another one on the other side of my bed.

do you have a job? what do you do? I am a supervisor in a bookstore.

how many friends do you have? I don’t know off the top of my head, I’m not inclined to sit here and count them.

whats the worst thing you have ever done? taken my pain out on my own body rather than directing my anger at the people who hurt me.

whats your favorite candle scent? I don’t know but Sophie got me this Limoncello-scented one from Bath and Body Works in Vancouver but it’s humungous and heavy as fuck so she couldn’t afford to send it to me but I hope maybe when she eventually comes back she’ll bring it with her because I think that would be my favourite scent.

3 favourite boy names? I don’t know, honestly, I don’t often think about boy names, I guess cos I’m fucking gay as shit so boys never cross my mind in any capacity. But I like Elliott. But I also like that name for a girl so idk,

3 favourite girl names? I have heaps but the first three that spring to mind are Anneke, Rhiannon, and Sinead.

favorite actor? don’t know tbh. Probably Harrison Ford as Han Solo, cos he’s my son.

favorite actress? a hard choice but Emilia Clarke is the one I crush on the hardest so yeah idk.

who is your celebrity crush? who ISN’T? I swear I’m in love with half the women in music and film. Emilia Clarke is a big one, obviously, but also at the moment I’m crushing mega hard on Tash Sultana.

favorite movie? I don’t know, I’ll just say Amélie because that film never fails to cheer me up.

do you read a lot? what’s your favourite book? I do read a lot, and I have no fucking idea.

money or brains? In a partner? Brains, I guess, although that’s very subjective, given Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences - I guess it depends on what you value. I, personally, value emotional intelligence.

do you have a nickname? what is it? Stina.

how many times have you been to the hospital? Uhhh. I don’t know off the top of my head, and I probably can’t count accurately because there are a few admissions that I just straight up don’t remember. At least 10 times, I would say.

top 10 favourite songs? nah, that’s too hard.

do you take any medications daily? yeah, I take sertraline (anti-depressant), prazosin (alpha-blocker - for PTSD), and birth control (for PCOS). I also take magnesium and vitamin D because they’re both fucking lifesaving tbh.

what is your skin type? (oily, dry, etc) I don’t know. All I know is that it never fucking does what I want it to.

what is your biggest fear? The people I love dying, especially my close family.

how many kids do you want? more than one but no more than three.

whats your go to hair style? down. I always wear it down. I have a pretty large side-undercut, so.

what type of house do you live in? (big, small, etc) The house itself is really big, it’s an old villa, but it’s divided into two flats, we’re on the bottom floor. It isn’t huge, we have a tiny lounge, a slightly-larger-than-average kitchen, and average-sized bathroom/laundry - but our rooms are all fucking humungous.

who is your role model? my therapist, my old high school guidance counsellor, my friends.

what was the last compliment you received? Owen said my hair looked good today.

what was the last text you sent? it was a really long Facebook message to the girl I’m currently talking to, we’re going on a date on Thursday, I’m excited.

how old were you when you found out santa wasn’t real? Idk, I figured it out pretty young, I was a bright kid. Maybe five or six?

what is your dream car? I don’t really know. I like 70s muscle cars but honestly at the end of the day any car is a good car. Plus, practically-speaking, I would like something that is kind on the environment, an electric car or a hybrid.

opinion on smoking? I think that it is something people do when they need something to alleviate a distressing situation. It’s no secret that smoking is more prevalent among the poor and the mentally ill, as well as those with high-stress jobs. I am an ex-smoker who relapses one or two times a year, the last time I had a cigarette was early April. I sometimes start smoking again when I am not doing well emotionally or if I’m really stressed (eg during exams). And I don’t like it, it makes me feel tired, it makes my throat phlegmy, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth and it makes me stink of smoke, and it is fucking expensive, but it meets a need. So my opinion is that I don’t like smoking, but sometimes it has a hold on me that I can’t resist, and I have the utmost compassion for anyone who smokes.

do you go to college? yeah, I’m in my last year of my undergrad.

what is your dream job? clinical child and youth psychologist.

would you rather live in rural areas or the suburbs? inner-city suburbs - far out enough to still live in a free-standing house with a garden, but close enough that I can walk to the city, or be there after a short bus trip. That’s the situation I live in at the moment and it’s perfect.

do you take shampoo and conditioner bottles from hotels? No, because I’m a snob and only like to use my own shampoo and conditioner. But I don’t see anything wrong with it, since you’re paying for them. Taking appliances and dressing gowns and towels, however, is not acceptable in my opinion.

do you have freckles? Not really.

do you smile for pictures? Sometimes but I hate having my photo taken so it always looks strained.

how many pictures do you have on your phone? Not that many at the moment, I just did a big dump of photos onto my laptop, I like to do that from time to time so my iCloud doesn’t run out of space.

have you ever peed in the woods? yeah, and on the side of the road, and once behind Sophie’s house when her flatmate was taking a really fucking long time in the shower and I desperately needed to pee.

do you still watch cartoons? nah, but only cos they’re not my cup of tea, absolutely no hate.

do you prefer chicken nuggets from Wendy’s or McDonalds? I’m a vegetarian.

Favorite dipping sauce? see above.

what do you wear to bed? pyjama pants and an old t-shirt.

have you ever won a spelling bee? no, they’re not a thing in New Zealand, but if they were I would have fucking cleaned up - not to blow my own horn or anything but I am a freakishly good speller. It’s kind of a not terribly useful skill though, and doesn’t say anything about my level of intelligence. Just like my weird propensity for memorising numbers, even if I haven’t used them in 10 or 15 years (like my NCEA student number, and the mobile number for the cellphone I lost when I was 14).

what are your hobbies? netflix, napping, and memeing.

can you draw? nope, not even a little bit.

do you play an instrument? yeah I play the violin, and I can also play piano, and I’m a decent choral singer, and I was once an okay percussionist, and I am a below-average guitarist, and an abysmal flute player. But those last three were self-taught so yeah.

what was the last concert you saw? The Veils BUT I’m going to see Sigur Rós on Friday and I am dying of excitement.

tea or coffee? peppermint tea.

Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts? Dunkin Donuts, but not for the coffee, I just really like donuts. Plus we don’t have Dunkin Donuts in Wellington so it’s a huge novelty for me when I get to have them, I’m almost as excited about getting Dunkin Donuts when I fly into Auckland on Friday as I am about seeing my favourite band live haha.

do you want to get married? Yes.

what is your crush’s first and last initial? I don’t currently have a crush.

are you going to change your last name when you get married? No but I will consider hyphenating if that’s something my wife wants to do.

what color looks best on you? black I guess.

do you miss anyone right now? I kinda miss Soph but these days I’m just starting to, like, I don’t know. Adjust. Which is nice. Realising that the way things worked out is for the best, because otherwise I would have been in for a lot of misery. Even though Sophie is a wonderful person whom I love and care about a huge amount. Apart from that, I miss being close to Nic, because she is like a sister to me, and I wish that we lived near each other so we could support one another.

do you sleep with your door open or closed? Closed.

do you believe in ghosts? No, but I could be convinced to change my mind with enough evidence.

what is your biggest pet peeve? People with bad manners, it is really not that fucking hard to say “please” and “thank you”? I mean, I’m talking in a work context here pretty much, customers can be so fucking rude. And the rude ones are all, without a single exception, baby boomers. So... yeah.

last person you called? Owen.

favorite ice cream flavour? I’m not really an ice cream person but I really like Ben and Jerry’s chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, that’s another thing I’m super looking forward to when I go to Auckland. If it seems like I’m obsessed with food, it’s because I am - but I am especially obsessed with getting all of the bread and sugar I can into myself in the next week because next week I’m starting the keto diet and I’m dying a little inside just thinking about it, I really fucking love sugar and bread.

regular oreos or golden oreos? regular.

chocolate or rainbow sprinkles? rainbow.

what shirt are you wearing? t-shirt with very thin stripes.

what is your phone background? beyoncé in the formation video.

are you outgoing or shy? depends on the context, but mostly shy.

do you like it when people play with your hair? yeah.

do you like your neighbors? I don’t know them but they seem nice in passing.

do you wash your face? at night? in the morning? always.

have you ever been high? yes.

have you ever been drunk? yes.

last thing you ate? cheesecake.

favorite lyrics right now? eh.

summer or winter? SUMMER.

day or night? Idk I like both, it depends.

dark, milk, or white chocolate? milk.

favorite month? January.

what is your zodiac sign? Aries but I don’t believe in that shit.

who was the last person you cried in front of? Either my therapist or Owen and Autumn, I can’t remember. Possibly both, I went through a stage of pretty much constantly crying a couple of weeks back lmao.

#lottieface #question thingy #as always kudos to anyone who reads even half of this shit
