Finally, an alone time. I've waited for this. This week does not feel so stressful but my soul is craving for an alone time.

I'm sitting on my favorite cafe with some bagels and coffee on the table while reading a novel on a one fine day.

I inhaled deeply, absorbing the mixed smell of the baked goods and coffee. I love this smell, it's relaxing. It makes me calm.

While I was reading the book that I've brought, a shadow blocked the sunlight, causing slight darkness on the book "Doctor Hwang?" a familiar voice said, I looked up and I saw her.

"Taeyeon?" I said. I thought it's my day off. No patients. No anything related to work.

"Hi" she greeted "are you alone?" She asked
I nodded "you can accompany me if you want" I said. Maintaining my professionalism even outside. I just hope that this meeting would not turn into a session. It's my freaking day off.

"Thanks" she sat the vacant chair across me "why are you alone?" She asked.

"Just an alone time on my day off" I answered. Her expression turned into a guilty one.

"Oh I'm sorry. I could go if-" she said before attempting to stand up

I stopped her "no, it's fine." Is this de javu?
"Are you sure?"
"A hundred percent yes" I immitated what she said a few days ago. She smiled and sat down again.

"So" I took a sip on my coffee "what brings you here?"

"Just bought some bagels" she showed the paper bag that contains the bagels "the bagels here are sooooo good" she added. I smiled. Yes, it's perfect. That's why it's my favorite.

"I think I really should be going right now" she suddenly said "it's your day off. Running through your patient on your day of is a bummer right?" She joked.

"It is" I joked back. I saw her pout. Cute. "but it's fine. Just dont act like a patient. Act like a friend"

She smiled. Damn. Her smile is contagious. You just cant help to smile back when she does. Like I've said, it's warm. Especially when her chin dimple is visible.

"So, what should I call you?" She asked. "You dont want me to act like a patient, so I should not call you as 'doc'" she's right. If she calls me doctor or doc, I really wont enjoy my day off. We just need to be more formal.. casual.

"Tiffany" she suddenly said.

"What?"
"Is it okay if I call you by your first name?" She asked cutely. Like we just met. I nodded
"Tiffany" she said again. Hearing my name with her voice is actually...attractive. My name never sounded so charming. This person...this person is...

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw an ice cream truck just across the street. My eyes followed the truck, Taeyeon looked too.
"You like ice cream?" She asked. I nodded, like a kid who was asked if they want ice cream.
"The truck's color is cute too" I suddenly said
"You like pink?" Her question made me look at her. Her eyes widened in shock. Maybe scared of the sudden action. "I LOVE it" I answer, emphasizing the word love. Pink is my favorite color. It's MY color. She just smiled. Could you please stop smiling?

"Where are you gonna go next?" She suddenly asked.
"Hmm.. I dont really know" I answered.
"Oh"
"Wanna go for a walk?" I suggested.
"That would be nice." She answered with a smile.
I swear, if she keeps smiling like that, I'm gonna punch her in the face.

"What do you usually do on your day off?" She asked while we're walking under the cherry blossom trees. The cold wind blowing our hair.
