i. public transportation

day 14.2

it stopped raining

and i was already planning on how

to give back your umbrella.

should i just hand it to you?

or

should i talk then give it to you?

i was looking at the staircase;

waiting for the laughter

and the conversations

i look back at the umbrella

wondering why you did that.

though we never talk.

then i heard

the laughter

and the voices of your friends.

they stopped talking

as i looked

and they looked at you instead.

jimin.

i stood up;

your umbrella in hand

and you and your friends were just looking at me

tapping

and nudging you

but you didn't look at me.

i took a deep breath

and tapped your shoulder.

you slightly jumped

and your friends did the same;

my hands started to sweat

but i silently handed back your umbrella anyway.

you bowed

and scratched the back of your head.

and your friends;

they looked at the both of us

with four wide eyes.

and the friend that i was with on the train;

the one with the mole

on his nose

started smirking

and i dipped my face deeper

in my scarf.

you took your umbrella

and told me your name

"i'm jimin."

even though i knew.

you extended your hand,

and i extended my short one

and we shook our hands.

i felt electricity run through my whole body.

how about yours?
