So I went to 1 Million Studio... ahem... I mean I tried because right after I came out of the train station. It started to rain... It was like a sudden downpour... So annoying... And guess what? The Studio was closed today exceptionally... Seriously?!
I went to the nearest convenience store to buy an umbrella. I was trembling, my hands were a little bit shaky. I was about to pay but another person rushed to the cashier to pay for his umbrella. The guy was wearing a black hoodie, he seemed to be in hurry. But the cashier ahjumma scolded the young man.
"Mister, you should be more polite with the elders."
He seemed to be embarrassed. He put in hand on his neck and said, "Yeah, I understand... But I'm sorry but I'm in hurry ahjumma..."
"Apology to this young lady instead of me. Look at her she is shaking because of this cold rain...", said the ahjumma looking in my direction. The young man turned to me and said while bowing, "I'm sorry to have rushed you." And he quickly took his new umbrella and went outside.
I froze...
I recognized this guy. He is a famous member of a boy band called "BTS". It was V... I was just like shocked like I didn't move for a second. The ahjumma's voice brought me back from my thoughts. "Oh, the youth of these days... Are you okay young lady?"
"Oh,... Oh, yeah I'm fine, thank you." I finally paid, I went to the exit. I startled, I was about to have a heart attack!
While sighting, with my hand on my chest I said, "Ah, gapjagiya!! (means "You've afraid me")
The young man shivers. "Why are you still here, I thought you were in hurry," I asked.
He responds while taking off his hoodie, "I was waiting for you." He put his hoodie on my shoulders. "Put this on, you will be freezing with this dress only." He kindly grinned.
"Now I have to go, can I know the name of this beautiful young lady?" he asked with a cute face.
Without knowing I was playing with my hair, it's a kinda bad habit that I have, when I feel anxious or embarrassed.
But I quietly said, "I'm Jin Sook..." For a second he looked a little bit surprised for a second but the second after with a cute eye smile he said, "Okay Jin Sook lady, I'm Taehyung. Hope we will meet again soon. Good-Bye." But before I could answer anything he was already gone.
I was... How to say it... Melted? It was special like the encounter with Ji Ho...
FLASHBACK
When I was young, I was that shy girl who never talks to boys. Who has a lot of female friends and not any male friend. The girl who has never experienced... LOVE... What does even this word "Love" means? That's what I've been questioning about for a long time. Was it this ephemeral feeling, this never lasting feeling... Or was it a strong connection between two entities. A feeling that never disappears...
Will I found the one, one day?
Back to PRESENT
"Will I found the one, one day?", this question was haunting me, and still for years...
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I decided to take the bus to go back home, Soo In was already at home. She was working on some partitions. She noticed me and asked, "Hey Unnie, how was your day?" Turning her chair in my side. "Oh, it was good, nothing too bad..."
She handed me a towel and asked, "Unnie, I heard from my Mom, that you can play piano too..."
"Oh, yes. I can..."
She jumped from her chair, "Really?! So amazing. As for me, I want to become a pianist."
"Oh, really, that's cool. You have to play something for me later."
"Of course I will!" She said excitedly. "By the way, is it a new hoodie, it seems to be a little bit too large for you..."
Suddenly Soo In's phone rings.
"I have to answer Unnie, sorry." She bowed and went to the kitchen.
Exhausted I sat in the armchair. I took off V's hoodie. I could smell a light fragrance on it. It was a sweet and masculine fragrance. I shook my head. Why am I smelling someone's hoodie???!
I put the hoodie on the arm of the armchair and I took my phone to check out my notifications.
*NEW MESSAGE*
There was a new message... It was from... Ji Ho... OMG what should I do, I could NOT handle this... With my hand in front of my mouth, I unlock my phone to read the message...
MESSAGES:
-Hi, Jin Sook you went home well?
-Hi, Ji Ho Oppa, yes I went home well and you?, I tried to be casual, omg...
-Yeah, can I know when do you start to dance?
-I started since I was 15 and you?
- As for me, I started since I was young.
-Oh, I see. I have a question to ask you. Heol!!!What am I doing right now?!
-Yeah, what is it?
-Are you famous or something?
-W-why this sudden question??? He seems to be confused, I'm really an idiot!!!
-Because I have the feeling that I already saw you somewhere... I replied uncertainly.
-Oh, I see... Shall we meet at a coffee shop tomorrow at 5 o'clock? My eyes widened, really?!
-Oh... yeah, at which coffee shop?
-At Lay Bricks Coffee Roasters in Sinsa-dong.
-Okay, I will come. OMG! What's happening right now???
-Okay cool then see you tomorrow! :)
-Yeah, see you tomorrow. :)
I calmly put my phone on the coffee table and just palm face myself...
Too many things happened today. And now Ji Ho asks me to meet him at a coffee shop!
This is really the first time that I go out with a guy...
"I'm back." I startled, it was Mrs. Soo. I welcomed her and went to my room with the hoodie and my phone.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I decided to wash V's hoodie and to call Hye Ra. She answered after two rings.
At the phone Hye Ra
-Oh, hello? Jin Sook~a.
-Hello Hye Ra, can I ask something??
-Oh, of course. Go on.
-Have ever dated a guy.
She coughed and answered a little bit surprised
-Hmm... I have. Why this sudden question Jin Sook?
-It's because a guy invited me to take a coffee with him!!!
-Oh, really. That's great. I can feel the joy in her voice.
-The thing is that I've never been invited by a guy. I know that it's certainly not a date but I feel anxious!
-Oh, I see. Relax Jin Sook, all will be fine.
-Will you help me to dress up? I usually dress up myself on my own. But it's a delicate situation, so...
-Don't worry I will help you for sure.
-Aww, really. Thank you so much, Hye Ra!
-We're friends so it's normal. So let's do that!!!
- Yup! I said a happily, but saying that I was thinking of what Ji Ho wants to tell me...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I prepare my bag to go out with Hye Ra, I received a message.
*Messages*

-Mom, I'm fine and you?
-I felt a little bit tired but it's okay don't worry.

*End of the messages*
I dialed my sister's number
Three-ring after
-Oh, Hello Jin Sook! Are you fine? She asked with joyful tone
-Lynn, are you, ******* idiot?! I yelled
-Hey what wrong with you sis, you are never vulgar, why are you now?
-You are asking me why? What will I do with you? To resume you left Mom alone to go sleep to your friend's house, and now you've started to smoke?!!

-Mom saw you smoking in the cellar. Are you fool huh?!
-I-I feel stressed these time...
-How do you get them?!
-It's a friend...
-Which friend would try to spoil your life like this???

-I know, and that's why I kept it... I cut her

-I-I just want to use them for a little bit to be less stressed. And after I will stop...
-Are you idiot Lynn?! You can't stop smoking like that on your own.
-I know but...
-Stop making excuses, you better this stop now! I hanged up
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I took my bag and went out, it was still raining a lot. I ran angrily towards the bus stop next to the train station.
I stopped in the middle of the crosswalk, my heart was beating so fast. I was soaked one more time.
I don't want this to happen one more time, I don't want to see her on the hospital bed with the drip on.
Tears were rolling down my cheeks.
Suddenly I didn't feel the rain on my skin. Someone was holding an umbrella over me. The Young man patted my head and told me a soft and slightly husky voice, "Move, we're on the way."
