'yah, kang jinhee. can you look where you're going?'
taehyung's voice caught me by surprise, as my head bumped into his chest before i could stop myself. my phone ended up dropping onto the floor, with its screen facing upwards.
taehyung saw my phone drop, bent down and was about to pick it up when i shouted, 'NO!'
taehyung paused, before straightening himself and shooting me a quizzical look.
'umm...i meant...nevermind! i can pick it up myself, i have hands you know.'
i said, narrowing my eyes at him, trying my best to cover my flustered look.
he rolled his eyes.
'yeah, but you sure as hell don't have eyes.'
i ignored him and quickly bent down to pick up my phone. my phone was still on with that mira girl's profile on the screen. luckily i always put my phone at the lowest brightness level, taehyung probably couldn't see her face properly.
i examined my phone front to back to make sure there were no cracks. i was trying so hard to break my record of not cracking my screen protector.
oh, and by the way,
that record was a week.
it never lasts more than that.
i heaved a sigh of relief as i made sure there were no cracks on my screen protector, and also because that was such a close call. i mean, how awkward would it be if he saw me on that girl's profile?
but the question was,
how did she even find my account?
i mean, my profile picture wasn't even a picture of me. it was a picture of a cuteass pug. maybe, she liked dogs?
ok no, that's stupid.
i went back to her profile on matchmaker, just to make sure she was indeed the girl from the night market.
i mean, i'm 99.99999% blind.

ACCEPT CHAT REQUEST?
[ ACCEPT / CANCEL ]
[ jinhee stared at the request for a while. 'should i accept?' she muttered quietly to herself, furrowing her eyebrows as she was still puzzled as to how she found her account. ]
[ 'or maybe it's just a coincidence? maybe she just stumbled across it?' jinhee thought to herself once more. ]
[ 'but then again, how could it be so coincidental? especially when it just happened last friday?' jinhee thought, continuously scrolling up and down to her profile and then to her chat request. ]
[ jinhee looked at taehyung who was still looking at her with a judgemental look on his face, as he raised an eyebrow. jinhee gulped nervously as she recalled the close call from earlier on and quietly slipped her phone into her pocket, trying to maintain a composed look on her face. ]
.

{ jinhee's pov }
'can we go now?'
taehyung asked with a bored look on his face.
'where are we even going?'
i asked curiously, raising my head slightly.
'you'll find out soon enough.'
taehyung simply replied, before walking off again, as i rolled my eyes and mentally groaned before following closely behind him.
•┈┈┈••✦♥✦••┈┈┈•
'for god's sake, yah kim taehyung! where the hell is the place? we've been walking for a fucking decade, are you seriously trying to lure me to some secluded area and than kidnap me and than kill me? if you wanted to, you can just say so you know. i already told you i know karate, taekwondo, judo, not to mention i will definitely kick your ass—'
i started rambling, before taehyung suddenly stopped walking. and luckily, i was able to stop myself from bumping into him this time.
'would you shut the fuck up? it's only been 5 minutes. aren't you in track and field? you can't even walk for 5 minutes, weak.'
taehyung snapped, clenching his teeth as he said the word 'weak'.
he didn't even wait for my reply before he turned his back and started walking again.
i gritted my teeth against each other as i mentally groaned. i swiftly flashed my middle finger at his back, before i quickly took it back and looked around to see if anyone saw me doing that.
i scoffed loudly, purposely wanting him to hear before grumpily following him again.
i was getting tired of this.
a few minutes passed, before i grew impatient again and was about to whine to him once more before he suddenly stopped, again.
'SERIOUSLY? CAN YOU AT LEAST TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE GONNA STOP? stop using your fat ass body to block my way.'
i chided, arching my eyebrows, as i managed to stop myself from bumping into him again.
he shrugged, before saying,
'we're here.'
i raised an eyebrow before looking behind him. i furrowed my eyebrows upon seeing where he had brought me, before straightening myself and looking at him with a quizzical look.
'so this is it? a railway track.
wow, you gonna bring me to hogwarts or something? sign me up.'
i said sarcastically, crossing my arms.
'no, you dumb fuck.
stop asking questions and just follow me.'
taehyung said, rolling his eyes before placing his hands in his windbreaker, and strolled towards the track.
'oh great. you're asking me to follow you again?'
i flashed him an 'are-you-serious?' expression, earning a 'duh.' from him, before i reluctantly trudged behind him.
we stopped walking when we arrived right in front of the track.
( a.n. just in case y'all don't know how it looks like. btw, it's not technically in front, it's more like right at the side like where the brown railings are, you know what i mean? and also, just imagine the rocks surrounding the track replaced with brown, soft soil. you'll know why later )
'sit.'
he said to me, pointing towards the track.
i flashed him a puzzled look, at him my eyebrows a little.
'are you asking me to sit in the middle of the track? oh great. are you trying to get me killed?'
taehyung sighed.
'no you freaking idiot, this track has been long abandoned. can't you see the rust? the track is basically going to collapse soon, whatever train that's gonna go through here must have a death wish.'
when i heard that, my mouth formed an 'o' shape, before sitting down on the track without worries.
'here. hold this.'
taehyung turned to me and said, holding onto a wooden twig.
i flashed him a judgemental look, before hesitantly taking the stick. i waved it around playfully before saying, 'wow are you really bringing me to hogwarts? i even have a wand now.'
he shook his head, rolling his eyes at me,
'stop being childish.'
'yeah yeah, says the one who hugs a soft toy tiger to sleep and named it fluffy.'
i countered, sticking my tongue at him.
ignoring me, he started looking around, searching for something.
'what are you doing?'
i asked, confused.
'i'm searching for another stick, but it seems like there's no more.'
taehyung replied, pouting a little.
i almost smiled at the sight of him pouting, but i managed to contain myself.
'well, you can have mine. i don't know what we're gonna do with this but, seeing that you're sooo saaaad about not finding another stick, you can have mine.'
i said, stretching out my hand and offering my stick to taehyung.
taehyung shook his head.
'no i'm going to find another one somewhere there, stay here and don't move.'
he said, pointing to the other side of the track.
'jesus am i your fucking dog?'
i narrowed my eyes at him as he ignored my question and walked to the other side of the track.
i rolled my eyes at his stubbornness.
he could just take mine, you know?
since taehyung was at the other side of the track and i had nothing to do other than just sit on the track itself, i suddenly remembered the chat request i received from earlier on.
i glanced at taehyung to make sure he was still searching for his damn twig, before whipping out my phone from my pocket and opened the app.

{ jinhee's pov }
i didn't mean to be mean but, ok fine i meant to be mean, but i just didn't feel like texting her.
after all she made taehyung go all whatever happened that day, that is probably not a good sign.
it's not that i wanted to judge her based on first impressions, ugh nevermind i don't know anymore.
'FOUND IT!'
taehyung's excited yells interrupted my thoughts, as my head turned fast towards his direction, earning a fucking whiplash.
'OW!'
my hand held my neck as i massaged the spot where i got that whiplash. my teeth gritted as each other as i let out a 'hiss' sound.
taehyung who had his stick in his hand, was walking towards me with a weirded-out look.
'what's wrong with you? are you having a seizure?'
taehyung mocked, chuckling.
as that uncomfortable feeling on my neck subsided, i sat up straight facing taehyung, narrowing my eyes at him.
'wow, i'm sure feeling the love.'
i said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
'anyways, i found a stick!'
taehyung said cheerfully, waving his stick around as he showed it off to me, flashing his boxy smile.
i rolled my eyes at his childishness, a faint smile appearing on my lips.
'okay weirdo, so what are we gonna do with these twigs?'
i asked curiously, waving it around, mimicking a wand.
i'm sorry, i really really love harry potter. like a lot.
'watch.'
taehyung instructed, as my eyes shifted to his hand that was holding the stick.
he proceeded to sit beside me, as he bent down, pointing his stick towards the ground. i raised an eyebrow out of curiosity as i craned my neck to get a better view of his stick as his bigass hand was just blocking everything.
his stick then came in contact with the soft, brown soil on the ground. i watched him use his stick to draw something on the ground. i furrowed my eyebrows trying to figure out what he was drawing.
after probably about 30 seconds, he straightened himself as he sat upright, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, as he looked at me and crossed his arms.
'guess what it is.'
he said, his head bobbing towards the drawing.
i eyed the drawing carefully.
it was obviously an uglyass monster-looking alien, or an alien-looking monster?
knowing him, the answer is probably me.
but you know what, i'm obviously not going to say that.
'dang kim taehyung, you gotta do better than that. this is so obvious. it's obviously you.'
i mocked, looking mischievously at him.
his smile immediately turned into a scowl.
'and why do you say so?'
'stop asking things you already know, kim taehyung. obviously because you are a monster, both inside and out.'
i jokingly said, sticking my tongue out childishly, earning a scoff from him.
'well you're wrong. guess again.'
he replied, folding his arms once more.
'if it's not you, it must be junkcock then.'
i remarked. i mean, where's the lie?
'if it was him, i would've drew a troll and then step on it. guess again, you're terrible at this.'
taehyung said, rolling his eyes.
i scoffed.
'pft—oh please, i already know the answer. but i ain't saying it.'
'why not? don't you think it's accurate though?'
he retorted, pointing at his 'monster masterpiece'.
'fuck off.'
i said bluntly, narrowing my eyes at him before using my shoe to step on it and destroy his drawing.
'YAH!'
he yelled, nudging me as he huffed pettily.
'guess mine now.'
i told him, before proceeding to draw something on the soil.
•┈┈┈••✦♥✦••┈┈┈•
— time skip to 10 minutes later —
{ no one's pov }
10 minutes had passed, taehyung and jinhee has played a few rounds of pictionary, and they were getting a little bored of it.
'a half-bird, half-horse mutant!'
jinhee tried guessing for the 848393th time, as she groaned in frustration.
'i give up, what is it?'
she sighed, crossing her arms in annoyance.
'you idiot, it's a turtle.'
taehyung said, standing up and pointing at his drawing frustratedly.
'WHAT? A TURTLE?!!
oh please, that looks nothing like a turtle!'
jinhee retorted, standing up as well, glaring at taehyung.
'JUST BECAUSE YOURE JUST HELLA BLIND!'
taehyung yelled back, arching his eyebrows.
'IF THATS A TURTLE, it looks like it just got FUCKING STEPPED ON!'
'OH SHUT UP! LIKE YOU CAN DO ANY BETTER!'
'at least i'd be able to draw normal basic animals! YOU DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRAW A TURTLE??'
'AND YOURE A BLIND LITTLE BITCH!'
'QUIT CALLING ME THAT!'
'OR FUCKING WHAT!'
jinhee sighed in frustration, she ruffled her hair harshly as she was getting a headache from this stupid, meaningless argument.
taehyung rolled his eyes.
'that was fucking dumb.'
'yeah, says the dumb one.'
jinhee retorted back, frowning at taehyung.
taehyung proceeded to sit beside jinhee, both of them were silent for a while, not knowing what to do next.
jinhee then decided to take a glance at her watch.
'it's 7.50am. we've got 10 minutes before school starts. we better head back.'
jinhee remarked, before standing up, getting ready to leave.
until taehyung grabbed her wrist.
'ughhh what?'
jinhee groaned, looking back at taehyung who was still sitting on the tracks.
'let's just be late. who cares anyway, right? mr baldy would probably expect us to be late.'
taehyung said, his hand still wrapped around jinhee's wrist.
'i mean, you ain't wrong.'
jinhee chuckled at the word 'mr baldy', before sitting back down besides taehyung.
'so...what do we do now? maybe we should call junkcock and jimin over, they're probably late too.'
jinhee suggested, and taehyung just shook his head.
'no.'
taehyung objected, standing up.
'why not?'
jinhee asked, puzzled, looking up to taehyung.
'i have a new game.'
taehyung declared nonchalantly, as he took his stick that he threw onto the ground out of anger during his petty argument with jinhee earlier on.
he then proceeded to stick the twig into the soil, and he stuck it deep. this just made jinhee even more confused.
'whoever can stick their twig the deepest into the soil, wins.'
he said proudly.
jinhee just scoffed and rolled her eyes.
'okay kim taehyung. that is officially the lamest game i've ever heard in my life.'
taehyung just frowned.
'just play, jinhee.'
'fine. but what does the winner get?'
jinhee asked. after all, she was only in it for the prize.
'i don't know...free ice cream?'
taehyung suggested, knowing very well jinhee will definitely not say no now.
jinhee's eyes lit up almost instantly.
'deal.'
•┈┈┈••✦♥✦••┈┈┈•
{ still no one's pov }
'i win, so you owe me ice cream.'
taehyung smiled victoriously, as he looks at both of their sticks that were stuck deeply into the ground, just that taehyung's stick was stuck deeper.
'i'm sorry, but promises are meant to be broken.'
jinhee responded, making a funny face to mock taehyung.
taehyung rolled his eyes.
'whatever, i knew you wouldn't keep your promise anyways. sore loser.'
'fuck off.'
jinhee cursed, narrowing her eyes.
'anyways, let's just keep our twigs here. maybe we can come back years later and see if it's still here, that'll be cool right?'
taehyung suggested, pointing the sticks stuck into the ground, before looking back at jinhee, who just shrugged.
'sure. although i'm pretty sure people would just trample all over them.'
jinhee said truthfully.
'wanna take pictures?'
taehyung asked randomly, catching jinhee by surprise.
noticing jinhee's expression, taehyung blinked and shook his head.
'no don't get me wrong. i just like taking pictures of people, backgrounds, or anything, really. i bring a camera everywhere, wait hold on—'
taehyung explained, before digging his bag for his camera.
he then whipped out a mint green camera, showing it off to jinhee.
'it's nice, right?'
taehyung said, flashing a proud boxy smile.
jinhee smiled at how he's so happy with his little camera.
'yea...i guess it is.'
•┈┈┈••✦♥✦••┈┈┈•
{ jinhee's pov }
'taehyung sit down.'
i said suddenly, pointing to the railway track, ushering him to sit there.
taehyung shot me a confused look.
'why? aren't we taking pictures?'
'yes, but sit down first.'
i said simply. i know it's random, but i have my reasons for this.
'fine.'
taehyung huffed slightly before plopping himself down onto the track.
'ok now can you take out your phone and pretend to play with it? candid shots are always the best.'
i instructed, before taking out my own phone, getting ready to snap a picture of taehyung.
'oh, are you taking a picture of me too?'
he asked. i rolled my eyes, mouthing a 'duh' before ushering him again to do as i said.
he took out his phone and started pretending to look at it. he looked really serious that it almost made me laughed. he was wearing a dark greenish-blue jacket above his uniform, his phone held in his right hand.
i smiled proudly before snapping a picture.
click!
'ok, done.'
i said, before taking a look at the picture i took, unknowingly smiling to myself.
taehyung then stood up, looking at me, smiling:
'my turn.'
