Jeongin finished washing the dishes, and changed into something appropriate to walk outside in. He then put his shoes on and headed out of the house, towards the café. When he saw the entrance to the café nearing by, he inhaled deeply, and prayed that he could fix something. Jeongin opened the café door and went up to the counter where Dal Mi was with a nervous look on his face. "Hi um, can I get a cinnamon latte medium sized please?" He finally said.
"Hello, coming right up." Dal Mi said half heartedly, going back to make the latte.
"Do you think we could maybe um, talk after your shift is over by the way?" Jeongin whispered.
"That's a long way ahead." She replied.
"I can wait, I don't have anything to do today anyways." Jeongin tapped his finger on the counter while responding.
"Jeongin," Dal Mi put the towel in her hand down on the counter. "If you're here to make things better I won't be rude and let you waste your time." She sighed.
"Ah alright then, um I'll leave but just know I'm coming back when your shift ends. I can't possibly leave things like this..." Jeongin said, biting his lip a bit when he took the drink from her hand.
"Do as you like I guess." Dal Mi went back behind the counter.
"Alright, bye." Jeongin waved a bit before sighing as he walked out of the store. "I need to talk to Seungmin." Jeongin pulled out his phone and dialed in his number, waiting for him to answer.
"Hey Jeongin what's up?" Seungmin answered brightly.
"So I did something dumb- like really dumb. Can we meet up somewhere?" Jeongin asked, continuously walking on the sidewalk.
"Of course, how abouuttt," Seungmin paused. "Oh! Let's go to a bar, the one we used to go to a lot that's across from my place." He suggested.
"Alright, I'll be there in 5." Jeongin answered, hanging up the phone. He sprinted towards the direction Seungmin's house was in and after some time, he arrived there at the bar. I.N walked into the bar and sat in a stool, looking around for Seungmin.
"Over here!" Seungmin said, waving his arms in the air as he got up.
Jeongin ran over to him and sat beside him. "The space you chose to sit in is quite crowded but it's okay." I.N said.
"Because there's cute guys here." Seungmin said. "They're cute but definitely not dateable. More like one night stand type things." He said, drinking some of his soju.
"Ew, anyways..." Jeongin cringed a bit before continuing. "So I forgot to tell you this but I got ran over and the guy that ran me over is my boyfriend now but I faked amnesia and he feels really bad about it and I do now too. The only reason I faked it was because I wanted to start a new life, but that caused Dal Mi to get mad at me. But I don't blame her." Jeongin rambled.
"That's super fucked up of you." Seungmin gasped. "Well, Felix is probably still fine with it. lying is his talent." He joked. "Well, one of his talents."
"Yeah, he is but I don't know what to say to my boyfriend. I'm gonna tell him but I feel like he's gonna react badly." Jeongin said. "I'm gonna tell him probably tonight though, I don't want to keep lying to him any longer." I.N said.
"I feel like telling him as early as possible would be better. He'd be angrier knowing that you could keep lying to him for long than if you told him early." Seungmin sipped another shot of soju.
"Mhm, I thought that too. But I really shouldn't be in this bar right now, I need to tell him the sooner the better." I.N said.
"That's fine, go Jeongin go!" Seungmin cheered. "I swear this love stuff gets to people." He said to himself, spinning the small glass around in his hand.
"Thanks, bye!" Jeongin waved towards his cousin and ran out the bar. I.N ran onto the sidewalk and waved for a taxi, and eventually stopped at the ASR advertising agency building. "Thank you." Jeongin said and paid the driver, running out of the car. He went up to the front desk and asked the woman at the desk something. In which she replied with, "He's upstairs in his office right now." I.N nodded, going into an elevator and finally reaching Chan's office panting and out of breath.
