This fic is NOT spoiler-free for University Life.

This fic takes place after episode 10 of University Life.


The Cosy Bear is packed for the lunchtime rush. A revolving door of workers and students alike queue for soups and pastries, and for their caffeine fixes to keep them going throughout the afternoon.

A student in the corner has been hogging one of the better seats since morning, typing away on his laptop and nursing the same coffee he ordered some hours ago. Clemence shoots him daggers but he doesn't notice her gaze and continues on uninterrupted.

Duties are divided on a busy day like today. Hyun takes the orders and accepts payments, fulfilling orders while he can. Lynn focuses solely on preparing coffees while Clemence comes and goes from the kitchen, replenishing pastries and dishing them out onto plates when Hyun calls back an order.

As orders mount up, Lynn begins making a latte in a reusable paisley-patterned coffee cup while the line of customers grows longer and longer. She fixes the lid on top of the cup and turns back towards the counter to give it to its owner.

A hand reaches out to accept it and when she raises her eyes to meet the customer's, she sees a once-familiar face.

"Lysander."
