#because chenle is grateful

chenle isn’t the biggest fan of coffee, preferring sugary energy drinks to get him through the day and a hot chocolate during biting mornings. yet he takes the mug you’ve made for him, two sugars added for the thought of his sweet tooth, and sips it gently whilst you start preparing your own cup.

“thank you,” he mumbles, licking the residue off the smile of his lips. you turn to flash a grin, proud, and face forward again, this time with a perk in your shoulders.

morning shines through the skylight of your kitchen and chenle yawns, sipping his drink slowly and wishing coffee wasn’t so bitter. but the sweetness of the gesture makes up for his upset taste buds.
