She smiled appreciatively. "Honestly, last time I remembered falling asleep in someplace unexpected was for a handful of times in a private room back in uni during finals." Well, and in general throughout the years. Aside from her family's home in Cairo and Doctor Ikram's office and when out in the field, the library back at AUC was one of her top places to be at. She didn't have any friends at the uni, leaving her primarily to study or to travel around Egypt. Asli hadn't minded the unexpected library naps. If anything, she felt entirely comfortable in those private rooms. The only times when she wished she hadn't was when she was discovered by one of her bullies there. Then Asli would spend quite some time avoiding the library for as long as she could. "Ah, got it! Well, welcome to the Midnight Club. And Providence Peak in general." Her eyes widened at his question. Her soon sitting up quickly while she shook her head. "No, that's not it at all! Trust me, their coffee is incredible. This was actually my favourite coffee shop in town for the longest time. I just... My ex works here. So that's why it's been a minute. The only reasons why I came back was because I usually use to do my best thinking here and I was certain that his schedule might've been the same." It felt awkward to admit this to the stranger. However, she didn't want him to have negative thoughts about the place. Aside from her strained relationship with Jesse, the Midnight Club was still an incredible place. "Seriously though, this place is great. I think you're going to really like it." ||📜@seongxhyunwoo

“No judgment here. I’m no stranger to falling asleep in unexpected places. If anything, I’m a sympathizer.” He replied with an easy smile, realizing that might make him sound like he went around passing out all the time. Back in college, he certainly had a bit of trouble falling asleep with an overactive mind that didn't seem to shut up. So sleepless nights turned into unplanned naps in student lounges and computer labs. In recent years, that restlessness returned with his thoughts eating away at him when he was alone with them for too long. Hence why he’d turned into a bit of a workaholic, welcoming escapism both physically and mentally to cope with the upheaval in his life. “No, no, first time. I just moved here, so as of now, I’m only a regular at my hotel.” Casting a glance around the seemingly popular establishment he dropped his voice a touch, not wanting the barista to overhear his next question. “But I am trying to find a place that's good. You haven’t been back in a while because the coffee isn’t up to par?” After all, he was all too reliant on caffeine to get him through the days and nights and unfortunately, he was a little too picky when it came to food and drink. @draslihanxfahri-bailey
