"I loved you and still I do, but back then you choose her over me, but then also I was never yours." She sadly chuckled. "Seokjin-shii I don't wanna get hurt again".
With that being said she walked away, the hurt was evident in her brown orbs.
"Don...
Moving around with wide open eyes and mouth ,I clearly didn't see the older women walking towards me, since, otherwise my stupid ass wouldn't have collided with her making her drop all her groceries. Stupid Me.
I looked ahead and started to apologize for my stupidity closing my eyes and bowing multiple times, all those YouTube videos have told that the elders here can be a bit unapologetic. so I was nervous.
I opened my eyes hearing a chuckle. When I opened it I saw the ajhumma picking up the bags that fell from her hand. I rushed and helped her in picking up the bags, bowing in the process showing my sincere apologies.
I may be a bad ass, but I am not that much of a bitch to not apologize for my mistake.
After helping her with her handful of bags I decided to ask for a proper apology, "I am really sorry ajhumma, it was totally my mistake I was walking around watching all these bill boards that I was so captivated that I didn't remember I was in public, I'm really sorry". I went about ranting on and on until I heard a chuckle from the other side. It was then that I noticed the face of the older women in front of me. She was dressed elegantly, even though her face doesn't scream RICH I could feel she is rich. But she looked oddly familiar like I have met her somewhere, which remained as an unsettling feeling in my mind. Obviously because its my first time in here no way I knew her from my past. May be its just my stupid mind playing tricks on me . Guess what I'm not gonna fall for it, Brain.
So, here I am again over thinking with somebody already in front of, Gosh I must really love making a fool out of my self.
"Its okay I understand you, is it your first time in here, in Korea."
" Yes it is, You know I'm an Army after seeing them in my phone and computer screen, just now to see them in these huge bill boards almost every where is a huge cultural shock ......... I'm sorry I am talking too much now."
" Its alright I am low-key an army mom, so I can feel you. So don't worry .Even after being familiarised by seeing them around, I still stand dumb struck seeing when new ads and billboards of them are installed. Anyways it was nice talking to you, now I am the one talking too much".
"Aniyooo, if you don't feel wierded out, may I help you with your baggage. It seem too heavy for you to carry around".
" No it isn't that heavy, I was actually buying somethings for my café, I usually send my part timer but since its been some time I had gone out I decided to go out myself, and here I am".
"Omo, you own a café, its really nice to hear. I am actually a foodie I would like to visit it sometimes. But can I ask you some thing".
" Why make it other time if you are free now lets go together. And go ahead, what is it......Oh! I forgot to introduce myself, I am Kim SoelHee".
"I am Chia, I was actually wandering around to get to know the city. I can accompany you, just hand me some of those bags. They look painfully heavy." I took about half of her heavy bags in my hand and we started to walk I decided to continue our talk," Mam , Since you said you are an army can I know if you have a bias".
The woman let out a short chuckle, now that I look at her she has that motherly vibes, kind and soft kind of vibe she has around her.
" I have a bias, but never revealed it to my son, he will be annoyed if he knew so I never told anyone, so let me disclose it to you".
"Oh your son is an army too. Woah it would be amazing to fangirl together".
" Oh yes he is some what....... oh about my bias, My favourite is......"
" Oh ajuhmma cut the wait, tell it already".
"Ok , My bias is Namjoon".
" Omo! mine too...... I love Joonie.......His dimples are the cutest aren't they. Our taste in men are the same".
" Of course who wouldn't love the President".
" Oh! ajhumma you even know the inside talks, are you sure you are a low-key army".
" Okay maybe I'm not that much of a lowkey army......Hell who could be lowkey stan of BTS".
" I agree". This lady is soo cool, at least I got a company for the rest of the day. "So ajhumma, Is your café farther away."
" Nope just a bit more. What tired already.....youngsters these days. You should work out more it is good for you. My younger son works out like..... almost all days, that now he looks too young for his age".
"I also know a person who look too young for his......Hell its like he never ages, like a vamp. You know him too. The world wide handsome." And Chia giggled like a teenager.
" Uh-Oh Uri SeokJin..... is truly handsome". The older lady finished with a nervous chuckle which went unnoticed by Chia. " Oh there's the café..".
" Whoaaah! Ajhumma you are way too polite after being the owner of such a grandeur. I haven't even entered I could feel the richness even from the outside."
The older lady just chuckled at Chia's response. She had actually gained a little liking for the girl for her genuinity and openness. She was just captivated by the presence of a random person of the street. She surely knows about the cons of the situation. But she felt she had held back for long and the young girl in front of her seem too genuine to be fake. The sparkle in her eyes on seeing her café and her curiosity all were too real to be fake. It pained her to judge people that she meet, because of the security of her sons. Thus she has restrained her from meeting new people for some time, even though most people didn't recognised her, she was always paranoid about bringing damage to her sons. But on seeing the young girl, who portrayed so much of herself during her younger days. She missed the out going person she were. She missed meeting and talking to people without thinking about the words that are gonna be spilled out without thinking about it at the back of head. So she decided to not over think for once and to go with the flow. Good or bad, what awaits in the future she was ready to face.
