1 PM | Saturday

it poured heavily today, unfortunately. my dorm was far from where i stood, being a café was the only nearby shelter i could find. inside, i fixed myself to look more decent-looking from the rain.

waltzing my way to the barista, i ordered something warm for i have been freezing from the weather. as i rummaged through my purse for my card, i felt something wrap around my shoulder. i looked and there was hyungwon, paying the barista instead of me. he turned to my direction and smiled.

"happy to see you here."

"hyungwon-"

"i know what you're gonna say, but i wanted to pay for you..."

the jacket around me was his, and it was a bit big, but it was comfortable. i feel indebted to him because of his kind gestures. wonder if he does this to anyone... must be nice to be as kind and thoughtful.

we both sat on a table and i couldn't speak a word to him, for i felt nervous. wait.. why am i nervous all of a sudden? the guy across me is the same one who i talk to early dawn at the cafeteria. maybe because i haven't seen him around during the day? or maybe he just looks unusual since i always saw him in pajamas and glasses? who knows..

"t-thanks."

"minji, it was nothing. i just happened to pass by and i saw you standing there... shivering, you know? i did what any gentleman would do."

"i'm sorry, but i feel weird for some reason."

"yeah.... same here. i just don't see you around during the day."

"and since you always wore pajamas or track suits-"

"i never realized...."

"how good you looked."

we both laughed since we just finished each other's sentences. at that moment, the awkwardness was gone and we returned to how we usually are.
