"What?" He asked, taking off his headphones and putting them around his neck.
"Why'd you sit there?" I asked, while finishing up my second order of the hot beverage.
"The seat was empty." He shrugged and folded his arms.
"Well the table was taken." I retorted.
"You were alone."
"Who are you?"
"Jeon Jungkook."
We study each other for a while. This kid was definitely younger than you by a couple of years. He was wearing his high school uniform covered by a black trench coat paired with a red scarf. The headphones around his neck still emitting music from them, music I liked. His cheeks and nose were still tinted red after coming in from outside. His brown, almond shaped eyes that have been staring back at me the whole time, unconsciously making me blush.
He could read how let down you felt, as if something went wrong. He saw your phone next to your drink with headphones still attached. A message popping up with "I'm sorry." written on it. A red and black patterned scarf around your neck. You had a warm aura, making him feel calm. He stared back into your (e/c) eyes, holding no hope and full of disappointment.
"And you are?" Jungkook broke the silence between you two.
"I'm..."
There's no use in telling him who you are, (Y/n).
"Leaving. You must be waiting for someone since you haven't ordered anything yet. You can have the table." I grabbed my phone, swiped the lockscreen to play my music, and put on my earphones.
He watched you, thinking if he should stop you before you go.
I glanced at the boy who sat still, watching me pack up. "Don't get your hopes up, Jeon Jungkook." You gave him a heads up before leaving, it was the least you can do after seeing he doesn't have a string attached to him either.
He stood and held you back by grabbing your arm.
"Wait."
You turned around to face him and took out one earbud, waiting for him to say something. Waiting to hear the reason for holding you back. He was still looking into my eyes, as if he was trying to tell me something.
"Stay with me for a while." He lead me back to sit down at the table. "Stay here, I'm going to order something real quick."
I watched him jog to the counter and take his order. He came back and showed you the receipt. "I ordered one drink for myself. I wasn't waiting for anyone to come." He explained, trying to prove your thought wrong.
"Oh, sorry for assuming that you were-"
"Why did you say that earlier?" Jungkook asked you, a little too forward about it.
"Say what?" You tried to forget what you told him a few minutes ago, but you can tell by his stare that he was serious. "Sorry if it sounded rude."
"It sounded like a warning."
"Never mind it. I didn't mean it." You needed to retreat from this situation, you don't know him. "Memo- Years & Years is playing... your music is pretty loud." You looked at his headphones that were still playing music loud enough to hear.
"Oh, you're right." He lowered his music and caught you changing the subject and decided to stop asking questions. He turned his interest into your taste for music.
"I like the song." You simply answered. "My style, my taste."
"Me too." He noticed the song finished and wanted to test you more. "What song is this one?"
"I can't hear it this time." It was quiet but you could hear faint piano keys playing.
"Here," he stood a bit and put the headphones on you to listen to his music. He was bent over the table, hands still on his headphones while they were over your ears. You put your hand over his to press the headphones down so you could only hear the music.
You listened to relaxing, soft music that sounded familiar. "Electro...ShockBlues... Eels?"
"Wow! You're right." He smiled and lightly laughed.
You smiled, enjoying this time of sharing music. It was calm and warm. You looked up at him and you could tell that he was enjoying it just as much. Knowing the two of you have a mutual favorite.
A flash going off ruined the peace you shared while listening to his music.
"Another picture?" You say outloud, slightly too loud since you were wearing soundproof earphones and couldn't tell. Jungkook laughed and took off your headphones, signaling you to speak softer. You realized that you probably yelled and covered you mouth and hid in your coat's hood.
"Sorry, I didn't know you didn't want one." The waitress apologized and handed the picture.
"It's fine, It's already been taken." Jungkook took the picture from her and sat back down, taking a sip from his drink and setting it aside.
"Stop hiding and look at the picture already." He reached over the table and took off your hood.
You sighed and took the picture Jungkook was handing you. It was definitely a moment you wanted to remember. Of course you did, music was involved. It looked like he just put the headphones on you, like he was excited for you to listen to his music, and you enjoying his music as well. Your hands were also over his like you wanted to stay in that moment forever. It might seem dumb to be happy about something so small, but as someone who doesn't hang out with people much, it couldn't be helped. You liked sharing music even if you had no one to share it with; you just made popular playlists on multiple sites. So finding this stranger- who doesn't know your name, but has the same love for music- was exciting. "It's a nice picture..." you smile.
"I'm surprised you knew the song so quickly." Jungkook puts his headphones to the side. "You must be really into music?"
"Very into music, it's-"
"An escape." He easily finishes the sentence and could tell that he was right by the expression on your face. "I feel the same way."
You listened to music so often, you found yourself wanting to create your own. But you didn't have the equipment quite yet. You hoped to go study somewhere in the music department.
Jungkook hands over a piece of paper with stuff he's written. "I wrote these lyrics, what do you think?"
The long night is following you as it flows
Time follows you and fades.
Love is so painful
Goodbyes are even more painful.
Come back to my arms.
You read the lyrics he's written, and he even sings a bit of the song. He made excuses about his voice, saying that he's still young and learning, but it still sounds good to your ears. He might be singing soft, being shy of the customers around us, but you hear him clearly. It's soothing, you wish he would sing more but he was finished. "What do you think?" He asks for your opinion.
"It's good. I like it. You have a soft beat going on, I hope to hear your finished product soon." You smile and give him confidence.
"Thanks! I'll keep working on it then and hopefully have it done in the future by a professional producer!" He has such hope in his eyes, it seemed like he always did what he wanted to do.
"You don't want to produce it on your own?" You question him since it seemed like he would be capable to.
"I think it could be better if I had help on it." Jungkook reasoned.
"If you say so." You shrug your shoulders and look forward to it in the end. You watch Jungkook read through his lyrics again and smile at the paper. He puts it back in his coat pocket and talks about more music with you. He was fun to talk to, it seemed refreshing to talk to someone with no strings attached. He was young, but fairly well mannered. He's been calling you 누나, and you guessed it's because there wasn't a different and polite way to call you while talking. He seemed okay, you were completely happy and recovered since Jimin suddenly left earlier.
"(L/n) (y/n)."
"Hm?" He looked up at you from his phone.
"My name."
"Oh, it's a pretty name. It's nice to meet you, (l/n) (y/n)." He smiled, shocked that you finally gave him your name.
Your phone went off from a text.
엄마: You better be home in 5 minutes.
You were 5 minutes away by car, 10 by bus, and 15 by running.
This time around, you really wanted to stay, and disobey your mom. It felt different when you were with him, it felt like you naturally made a friend from your rude remarks. "I- I have to go..." You say handing him the picture that was taken of the two of you.
"Keep it." He pushed it back to you. "If I wanted a picture of you..." He took out his phone and quickly snapped an off guard picture of you.. "I'd rather have it on my phone."
You were shocked that Jungkook took a picture of you like that.
"Bye, Jungkook-아"
"I'll see you around?" He asks before you turn away from him.
"Who knows?" You already start walking towards the exit. "It's up to that god-damn fate that's watching me." You scoffed as if fate was an actual person.
You didn't have the time to fight him about deleting the picture that you probably looked so horrible in. You ran out, catching one last glance of him looking at you through a small window.
