do you live in new york city, or a couple towns away? wherever you are, i'd jump in my car, just to see you today.

"excuse me, can i sit here?"
sicheng looked up, taking one of his earbuds out. the man in front of him was quite possibly the most beautiful thing he'd ever laid eyes on. he quickly cleared his throat, nodded, and gave a warm smile.
"sure, of course."
"thank you. i didn't expect it to be so crowded here."
sicheng nodded again and looked around the café. all the tables were occupied, and the line was longer than usual. he assumed it was because it was lunch time on a weekend.
the man now sitting across from him began taking his phone and laptop out of his bag. the sun was hitting his skin perfectly from the large window beside their table. he looked almost ethereal, as if right out of a movie.
"i like your nails a lot," the man complimented. sicheng's eyes widened, looking down at his black and silver nails that ten had painted for him just last night.
"oh, thank you. my friend likes to paint people's nails."
the man laughed quietly, "that's cute."
sicheng looked down at his book with a bashful smile.
the man got back to work on his computer after that. he picked up his phone for just a moment, then set it back down on the table before putting one air pod in his left ear.
sicheng carefully sneaked a peak at the man's phone, as the screen was still lit with the song he was listening to. sicheng's heart sped up when he instantly recognized the album on the phone. how could he not recognize it when it was the same exact album and song he was listening to right at that moment? he pulled out his own phone and watched it turn on, displaying the song dear soulmate.
sicheng felt the blush on his face getting more apparent by the second. he looked back up at the man as he typed away on his computer. but before sicheng knew it, the other's eyes were gazing right back at him. he smiled again and gently sat his laptop aside.
"i'm y/n."
sicheng's brows raised in slight surprise. processing what was happening, he tried to smile again and sat up straight. he was completely oblivious to how effortlessly cute he was.
"i'm sicheng," he replied. "you like laufey?"
y/n looked down at his phone, then smiled.
"mhm! you too?"
sicheng nodded eagerly, raising his own phone now to show the song they were sharing.
y/n's smile grew at this. their eyes lingered on each other for a moment, both feeling the flicker of a connection.
"..are you seeing her on tour here tomorrow night?" y/n asked.
"i am actually!" sicheng chimed.
y/n gazed at him in admiration. he loved the way the other's face lit up in excitement.
"maybe we could get drinks or something after the concert then?" y/n suggested.
"yes please," sicheng agreed quickly. he then unlocked his phone and gave it to y/n, "let's exchange numbers?"
y/n nodded and gave his own phone in return, "here's mine."
sicheng held the device and typed in his number. he had a feeling something beautiful had just started with y/n, and all because of a crowded café and a song.

dear soulmate, i can't wait to fall in love with you.
