--------------------
Yunho sat in the fourth floor of Starbucks in Seoul’s Myeong Dong district, just gazing out the window. As he just let his mind wander, it came to mind how the numerous pedestrians below looked small even from such a height.
Finally looking away from a group of people exiting the station, he checked the time as he walked to the counter, it being a while since he’s been at the café without ordering anything. Noticing the date on his wristwatch made him pause, an idea coming to mind, as he decided on his order.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“One Dark Rose Iced Coffee…and a Choco-chip frap, ‘Su?”
“Mmm…” Junsu replied, distracted by the view from the top floor of the café.
“Sir, your order has already been placed in the table next to the window,” the barista replied, motioning to the area where, indeed, two drinks have been placed atop a small table with soft seats.
“Wha…?” Yoochun gaped, confused.
“Look Yoochun-ah, muffins!” Junsu exclaimed as he bounded to the table, leaving Yoochun to bow politely to the woman at the counter before following the hyperactive male.
“Junsu, stop! We don’t know where that’s from!”
“Well, it’s free, isn’t it? You can’t go wrong with free!” said the other as he picked up his drink.
“Wait!”
Junsu blinked as his drink suddenly disappeared from his hand, and glared at Yoochun.
“I was about to drink that!”
“And I said wait!” Yoochun glared, looking at the plastic glasses, ignoring Junsu’s protest.
Yoochun spun the cups until he saw the area where the baristas normally wrote the name of the customer who ordered the drinks. He paused, in shock, before a wide smile adorned his face.
“What’s with the face?” Junsu asked, still pouting at having his drink snatched away.
Yoochun merely gave Junsu his frappuccino back and directed the younger’s attention to the name.
~Leader-ssi~

Changmin yawned as he climbed to the third floor of the Myeong Dong Starbucks. It was secluded, and was the center for the wifi hotspot: just right for doing a bit of research for his extra studies. Walking up to the counter, he looked through the menu, then at the glass case containing the pastries.
“May I help you, sir?”
Changmin looked up to a young male who was most likely just a bit younger than him.
“I’m a bit hungry…” he mumbled to himself and trailed off, not sure what to order. “What would you recommend?”
“If I may, sir,” the barista replied, pointing to the table just out of view from the café’s entrance. “I would suggest the orders placed on this table.”
The tall singer’s brow furrowed at the answer, walking towards the mentioned table, shocked to find two sandwiches, several pastries, and a mug of hot chocolate seemingly waiting for him. Still a bit apprehensive, he neared the table, spotting a piece of paper he presumed to be the receipt weighed down by the mug.
Noticing scribbles on the paper, he grabbed it and read what was written. Two distinct sets of handwriting greeted him for his effort, making him chuckle in amusement.
~Leader-hyung’s idea! 8D~
--But why’d your schedule be free after ours? We’re broke now ‘cause of your food! TT.TT--
~Don’t mind him…but we’ll make sure next time we’ll be after you! >:D~
Changmin then pocketed the note and proceeded to eat as he took out his laptop, checking his schedule and the current time.

Jaejoong preferred floor was the second: Far enough from immediate view, but close enough to see the faces of the passers-by. He would sit there often, just observing the people, watching, waiting, hoping, that he would spot a familiar face.
“Sir, cappuccino with cream?”
Startled, he looked up, confused at the sudden service.
“I didn’t order,” he said, trying to return the drink.
“It’s already been taken care of, sir,” said the barista, who politely bowed before walking back to the counter.
Still confused he turned to the cup of cappuccino, only to chuckle amusedly at the cream decorating his drink.
>8P
A folded napkin with ink marks was under the cup, successfully inviting him to pick it up and unfold it to a message written in a relatively neat scrawl.
~You’re lucky that I’m living with your boyfriend. He’d kill me if I didn’t get you anything good! Just kidding, miss ya, you annoying nagging man-umma!~
That made him laugh wholeheartedly as he enjoyed his fresh cup.

Yunho was taking his regular jog near the Han River, stopping occasionally to admire the view of the city lights reflecting in the wide body of water. He’s been at it for an hour, and thus made his way to his favorite resting spot: a nice secluded bench near the bridge.
He was just a tad surprised when he spotted a water bottle, a towel, and a can of ginseng soda waiting for him on the bench. A gentle smile came forth as he saw a small sticker on the water bottle.

“BooJae…” he whispered, all exhaustion temporarily forgotten as he stared at the small token given to him. “Saranghae.”
He looked out at the river once more, his gifts in his arms, he took a deep breath, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
“DONG BANG SHIN KI, YONGWONHI!”
In four other points of Seoul, four other hearts beat with the leader’s, they might not have heard, but they knew.
Just ‘cause.

A/N: A late Chuseok fic (obviously XD).
I wanted to try this out since I’ve been writing fics where they secretly meet, I wanted to show that they can still be them, and can still be together even without physical contact. AKTF guys, trust that they don’t hate each other. It might be a while until we see them as five, but let’s trust them that they all still get along. :D
Everyone notice that Jae’s gift to Yunho has a different location and style? If you guys noticed that and the meaning behind it, you get YunJae cookies! 8D
Here’s to hoping everyone enjoyed! *Raises TVXQ-themed drink*
