it was a normal monday afternoon when mari was at the local cafe, sat staring at the window. it was summer. the vibrant yet fluorescent hues of pastel pink scattered across the floor, covering it like a rosy blanket, leaving the skeleton-like cherry blossom trees behind. the cotton-like clouds slowly travelled by the cyan sky, blocking the golden sun slightly.
mari sipped her tea as she sighed heavily. she had a lilliputian empty space in her heart, yet she didn't know what it was.
until a few minutes later.
a man with brunette hair entered, a smirk playing on his lips. as he walked to the counter, he ran his fingers through his hair, licking his moist lips. mari couldn't seem to take her eyes off the stranger. as the in awe worker asked for his name, he replied in a deep yet soothing voice.
"junmyeon."
she quickly turned away before he thought she was weird. looking out the slightly blurry window again, she could just see junmyeon looking around until he walked towards mari's way. outside, she was composed and calm, but inside, she was screaming. she wanted him; she wanted junmyeon.
"do you mind if i sit here? there aren't any spaces left."
mari turned around to see the tall and flattering man, his large hands holding his tea.
flustered, mari nodded as he smiled and sat down opposite to her. awkwardly, she drank her tea as she could feel eyes burning holes in her, but a sip turned into a slurp quickly, earning a laugh from the latter.
mari mentally shot herself for doing that, still drinking her ice cold tea. once she finished, she glanced around until her eyes landed on his. junmyeon's dark hazel eyes sparked bright. mari's eyes then travelled down to junmyeon's clothes. he was wearing a light blue shirt with the top button undone.
she cleared her throat and spoke, "well uh, i'm done here. e-enjoy your drink."
mari quickly stood up and as she tried to walk away, she was pushed against a wall as a pair of strong arms trapped her.
the same smirk played on junmyeon's lips as a strand of hair came unfixed. mari's heart was pounding as he stared at mari's oceany-green eyes and spoke.
"where do you think you're going princess?"
