Mr. Princess Treatment
A Cup That Changed Everything"
| EARLY MORNING | LAVENDER COFFEE & DESSERT SHOP ❣️
THE LITTLE SHOP ON THE CORNER OF THE STREET SMELLED OF LAVENDER AND WARM COFFEE. AMIAS YU MOVED BEHIND THE COUNTER WITH QUIET EASE, SMILING AT EVERY FACE LIKE THEY WERE THE BEST PART OF HIS MORNING. 🥀❣️
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
nudges him
That man outside has been standing there for like three minutes 👀
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Maybe he's thinking~ ☕
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
The menu is INSIDE, Amias 😭💀
🥀 THE DOOR OPENED. THE ROOM SHIFTED. ❣️
TALL. SHARP. CHARCOAL SUIT THAT COST MORE THAN THE SHOP'S MONTHLY RENT. HE WALKED IN LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAD NEVER ONCE BEEN TOLD NO. 🥀❣️
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
Whispering
Sir. Your nine o'clock —
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha

🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
...To when exactly?
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Later. 🔥
AMIAS LOOKED UP AND SMILED — WARM, EASY, COMPLETELY UNBOTHERED. 🥀❣️
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Good morning~! What can I get for you? ☕
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Lavender latte. Hot.
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Honey, cane sugar or sugar-free? 🍯
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
eyes on Amias
Whatever you recommend.
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
smiles and writes on the cup
Honey then~ it brings out the lavender better
HE SLID THE CUP ACROSS AND TURNED TO THE NEXT CUSTOMER. SIMPLE. UNBOTHERED. COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF WHAT HE HAD JUST DONE TO THE MAN STANDING ACROSS THE COUNTER. 🥀❣️
RAYLAN LOOKED AT THE NAME ON THE CUP. 🥀
AMIAS. ❣️
HE TOOK ONE SIP. THEN QUIETLY ASKED LAWRENCE TO CHECK THE SHOP'S OPENING HOURS. 🥀❣️
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
typing, expression flat
....They open every day, sir 💀
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
already heading for the door
Good. 💎
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
stares at the door, then at Amias

"The Omega Behind The Counter"
| NEXT MORNING | LAVENDER COFFEE & DESSERT SHOP ❣️
THE MORNING RUSH WAS IN FULL SWING. AMIAS MOVED QUICKLY BEHIND THE COUNTER, TAKING ORDERS, CALLING OUT NAMES, KEEPING EVERYTHING RUNNING SMOOTHLY. IT WAS A NORMAL DAY. COMPLETELY NORMAL. 🥀❣️
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
wiping the counter, glancing at the door
You think that suit man comes back today? 👀
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
not looking up
He was just a customer William 😄☕
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
A customer who pushed a meeting for lavender latte 💀
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Laughs softly
You're so dramatic~ 🌸
🥀 THE DOOR OPENED. ❣️
CHARCOAL SUIT. SAME SHARP FACE. SAME QUIET AUTHORITY. LAWRENCE ONE STEP BEHIND, PHONE ALREADY OUT. 🥀❣️
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
slowly turns to Amias
.......👀
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
freezes for exactly one second
...Don't. 😐
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
I didn't say ANYTHING 😇💀
RAYLAN WALKED STRAIGHT TO THE COUNTER. NO HESITATION. LIKE HE KNEW EXACTLY WHERE HE WAS GOING. 🥀❣️
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Smiles naturally
Good morning~! Same as yesterday? ☕
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha

Quiet pause
....I've been here once. 💎
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega

I heard you. 🔥
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta

RAYLAN SAT AT THE CORNER TABLE BY THE WINDOW. HE OPENED HIS LAPTOP. HE DID NOT LOOK AT IT ONCE. 🥀❣️
☕ CHEN BORA 🌸🍰💛|Omega
whispers loudly to Amias
Amias~!! That man keeps looking over here 😳💛
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
doesn't look up
He's probably just thinking Bora~ ☕
☕ CHEN BORA 🌸🍰💛|Omega
He's been thinking at YOU for twenty minutes 😭✨
🥀 ACROSS THE SHOP, RAYLAN WATCHED AMIAS LAUGH AT SOMETHING BORA SAID — BRIGHT, UNGUARDED, COMPLETELY REAL. HE TOOK A SIP OF HIS LATTE. ❣️
HONEY. LAVENDER. WARM. 🥀
HE TOLD HIMSELF HE WAS HERE BECAUSE THE COFFEE WAS GOOD. ❣️
HE ALMOST BELIEVED IT. 🥀❣️
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
quietly, without looking up
Sir. Ten o'clock. 💼

| MORNING | RAY GLOBAL HOLDINGS — EXECUTIVE FLOOR ❣️
THE BOARDROOM OF RAY GLOBAL HOLDINGS SAT FORTY FLOORS ABOVE THE CITY. FLOOR TO CEILING GLASS. CLEAN LINES. THE KIND OF ROOM THAT MADE GROWN MEN SIT STRAIGHTER WITHOUT BEING ASKED. THREE SENIOR DIRECTORS WERE ALREADY SEATED. WAITING. 🥀❣️

SAME MORNING | LAVENDER COFFEE & DESSERT SHOP ❣️
RAYLAN WALKED IN AT EIGHT FIFTY-FIVE. SAME TABLE. SAME CORNER. SAME QUIET AUTHORITY THAT MADE EVERY OTHER CUSTOMER INSTINCTIVELY LOWER THEIR VOICE. 🥀❣️
☕ CHEN BORA 🌸🍰💛|Omega
whispers at Amias
He's back~!! Same suit energy!! 😳💛
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Calmly reaching for a cup
He's a customer Bora 😄

AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Already writing on the cup
Shh~ 🌿
RAYLAN REACHED THE COUNTER. AMIAS LOOKED UP WITH THAT SAME UNBOTHERED SMILE. RAYLAN'S JAW TIGHTENED ALMOST IMPERCEPTIBLY. 🥀❣️
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Good morning~! Lavender latte with honey? ☕🌸

AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Butter or almond~? 🍯
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
quietly
Whichever one you'd recommend. 💎
WILLIAM, FROM THE REGISTER, PRESSED HIS LIPS TOGETHER VERY HARD. 🥀❣️
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
internal screaming 💀👀
🥀 RAYLAN SAT. LAWRENCE REMAINED STANDING, PHONE IN HAND, WEARING THE EXPRESSION OF A MAN QUIETLY RENEGOTIATING HIS ENTIRE CAREER. ❣️🥀
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
💬 Sir the eleven o'clock cannot be pushed again. Mr. Choi flew in from Seoul specifically — 💼
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Sipping his latte, eyes forward
Then he can wait five more minutes. 🔥
💬
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
typing 💬
He has been waiting since nine sir 💀
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
unbothered
Then he's used to it by now. 💎💬
ACROSS THE SHOP AMIAS WAS HELPING AN ELDERLY WOMAN FIND A SEAT, CARRYING HER TRAY FOR HER, LAUGHING AT SOMETHING SHE SAID. EASY. NATURAL. COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE MAN WATCHING HIM FROM THE CORNER TABLE. 🥀❣️
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
quietly, almost to himself
....He does that every time? 🔥💬
🏢 LAWRENCE ZHANG 🖤💼⚡{PA} |Beta
Looks up
Does what, sir?💬
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Picks up his cup
Nothing. 💎💬
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
looks at Amias. Looks at Raylan. Looks back at his phone.
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Types: clear all mornings this week 💀💬
🥀 ON THE WAY OUT RAYLAN STOPPED AT THE COUNTER ONE LAST TIME. ❣️🥀
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
slides the cup back
Refill. To go. 💎
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
blinks
Oh— we don't usually do refills to go but— 🌸
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Looking at him
I'll pay full price. 💎🔥
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Laughs softly and takes the cup
Give me two minutes then~ ☕✨
RAYLAN WAITED. ALL TWO MINUTES. WITHOUT CHECKING HIS PHONE ONCE. 🥀❣️
LAWRENCE NOTED THIS. SAID NOTHING. ADDED IT TO HIS GROWING LIST OF CONCERNS. 🥀❣️
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Hands it over with a smile
There you go~! Have a good day! ✨
👑 RAYLAN WANG 🖤🔥💎|ML|Hyper-D-Alpha
Takes it. Pauses.
You too. 🔥
HE LEFT. THE DOOR CLOSED. 🥀
THE SHOP EXHALED. ❣️
☕ CHEN BORA 🌸🍰💛|Omega
Grabs Amias's arm
DID YOU HEAR HOW HE SAID THAT 😭🌸💛
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Goes back to the counter
He said "you too" Bora~ 😄
☕ CHEN BORA 🌸🍰💛|Omega
WITH THAT VOICE THOUGH 😭✨
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
Arms folded, watching Amias carefully
Three days in a row Amias. 👀
AMIAS YU 💛✨🌼|MC|Omega
Stacking cups, unbothered
Good coffee brings people back~ ☕🌸
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
dead silence
looks out the window at the disappearing black car
🌿 WILLIAM CHAN 💚🌙|Omega
....It's not the coffee. 💀
THREE DAYS. THREE PUSHED MEETINGS. ONE REFILL HE DIDN'T NEED. 🥀
LAWRENCE WAS BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THAT HIS MORNINGS WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. ❣️✨
