Kathleen's P.O.V.
The nuance tastes of cinnamon and brown sugar tenderly washed over me as I sipped my warm cup of coffee.
Warm coffee upon a wintry eventide, palms hugging the cup so close, everything is right with my world.
The warmth of the coffee is matched by the warmth of its brown hues.
The Beautiful foam art floating upon the surface of the coffee ignites my daydream to blossom anew with his thoughts.
Kim Taehyung, he's handsome from his eyes and the gentle expression of his voice. That deep voice, god-
"Kat! For heaven's sake, snap out of that trance" Betty's shrill voice managed to cut my train of thoughts about my new found interest as I sighed dramatically before looking at her with furrowed eyebrows.
"Don't tell me, you were daydreaming about that Umbrella guy, again" She said, voice full of disbelief as I bit my lip, looking away from her.
"He has a name, Taehyung Kim" I mumbled lightly, not pleased with how she was addressing him.
"I'm seriously considering performing an exorcism with you because apparently You've been possessed by that stranger" She said before nodding to herself, probably deeming it as an amazing idea.
"You're crazy. I'm not possessed or whatever" I said with a scoff, sipping on my coffee as she looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"Then how else can you explain your weird behaviour, dear" She said making me sigh before I placed my coffee on the table and looked at her.
"You're saying this because you haven't met him yet. Just wait till you see him because he has that kind of face that can stop you in your tracks. People often speak of the colour of the eye, yet he has the eyes which will look good in any shade. His smile is just contagious, you can't help but smile whenever he does so. His-"
"Alright. I get it, I didn't tell you to speak an essay about him. Get a grip, woman" she spoke with a sigh as I pouted a little at her response.
"But besides that, I still can't believe that Christopher abandoned you in the middle of your date" she said with the expression of disbelief as I scoffed remembering about him.
"Trust me, I hate that fatter-than-a-butter idiot" i said gritting my teeth, remembering about him and my oh-so-great-evening.
"But that's fine, I didn't want to go on a date with him anyway, I mean he's like almost 10 years older than me" I said scoffing in disbelief over my parents's choice but then again,
'Everyone who's rich and white, is qualified to be your husband. No matter the age or the background, dear'
-My sweet mother's intellectual words.
"God, I seriously hate your parent's decisions in these matters. Anyway, haven't you read any novel recently? I wanna listen a romantic quote or an abstract from you" she said, her demeanor changing from being angry to excited all of a sudden making me chuckle.
"Let me quote it for you,
You are my Honolulu moon; You are the book I didn't write; You are my heart's unuttered tune; You are a candle in my night."
"You are the flower beneath the snow; In my dark sky, a bit of blue; Answering disappointment's blow with 'I'm happy, I have you'."
I widened my eyes as someone completed the second verse of the poem, making me turn around facing the owner of the voice.
I saw, I Choked.
Kim Taehyung, in all his glory,
Standing in my school Canteen.
"Oh my god, are you alright?" He asked frantically eyeing my figure in worry as I nodded, visibly struggling to catch my breath between the coughs while Betty patted my back trying to calm me down.
"I'm fine, now" I said to Taehyung, clearing my throat slightly before giving a quick glare to Betty who was still patting me at my back.
She shrugged before stepping away from me as we both faced the handsome man standing in front of us.
"Mr. Kim, what are you doing here, only if you don't mind me asking" I said biting my lip slightly as he chuckled, probably at my embarrassed and nervous self,
Way to go Kathleen.
"I told you to call me, Taehyung, Ms. William and to answer your question, I was expected to deliver the food for the teachers for the day, which I did. I recognized you so I just wanted to greet you, sorry if I startled you with my sudden appearance" he politely apologized as I watched him in awe.
How can a man be this perfect? I'll never know.
"Idiot, stop staring and say something" Betty whispered from behind me as I straightened my slightly slumped posture and smiled at him.
"It's alright, and if I remember I also told you that my name is Kathleen, so I'll appreciate if you would address me that way" I said as he chuckled before nodding his head.
"If you say so, Kathleen" My name rolled down from his tongue so smoothly like melted butter from bread that I couldn't help but want to record this on a cassette and listen it forever.
I've been blessed.
"Well, you seem to like literature" I pointed out as we were walking towards the front of the school as he had to leave, already.
"Yeah, I absolutely love it. It's like an escape from the reality, allowing us to enter a different Universe, with no responsibilities, no nothing and I just live for that free moment" He described his love for it as I couldn't help but find him more attractive.
Am I seriously possessed?
"Well, it was nice meeting you, Kathleen. Hopefully you won't choke the next time we meet" he said making me blush from Embarrassment but also excitement that he wants to meet again.
"It was nice meeting you too, Taehyung" I said lowly as he smiled charmingly before giving a short kiss on the knuckles of hand as a goodbye and walking away leaving me awestruck.
"He's really handsome" Betty said from beside me as I jumped slightly, not remembering that she's also here.
"He is and definitely not going to be yours" I said fearing fearing that she already took a fancy towards the charming man.
"Like I want him, I have a boyfriend if you forgot and just a reminder, our lecture is starting in a few moments so I'll suggest if you spare some time from your daydreaming to focus on your literature class" she said as she started walking away as I sighed before going behind her.
