~chapter 2~

~it's impossible, right?~

~NARI POV~

When I finally went home from the crowded festival, I received a notification.

dalj1 Added You On Snapchat!

I assume that's Dalji. I opened snapchat, accepted the friend request, and turned off my phone. I got another notification.

dalj1 is typing...

Message from dalj1!

Goddamn it, all I want is peace. Whatever, he's nice.

~~~

Hey Nari! It's Dalji, your bandmate.

hello dalji.

Do you want to go to... I don't know, the ice cream shop tomorrow?

My treat!

im sorry. i have class and practice tomorrow.

Man, is it really gonna be that hard to get to you?

whats that supposed to mean?

i have a lot on my plate. i have to practice and train my
voice. i just broke up with my mf boyfriend. and you're
worried about me being unavailable for an ice cream date?!

stfu...

I'm sorry. I was joking. I thought you were one for jokes?

~~~

I'm not answering that son of a bitch. I thought he was alright. Should I give him a chance? He probably just has no clue how to talk to girls.

I reply to him and say: sure. whatever. ill try to go to the ice cream shop with you tomorrow. but please learn how to talk to me. im still your leader and i dont appreciate how you assumed i just rejected you for nothing. im seriously busy, but ill try to make it. dont get mad if i cant.

I didn't check the notification that popped up after he replied. Why'd I agree to this?!

~TIME SKIP~

Damn. Can't believe I didn't ditch him.

"Thank you so so much for coming, Nari-ah!" 

"Um... yeah you're welcome."

"What kind of ice cream do you want?" He asked.

"Hm... cookies and cream! It's my favorite."

"Nice choice. I like... well probably the classic chocolate."

"Nah. Vanilla's so much better than chocolate! Are you crazy!"

"Maybe I am, who knows? Chocolate's way better, though. And I'm not crazy for thinking that."

I roll my eyes. "Excuse me, ma'am, do you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream better?" I asked a random stranger.

She shudders. "I'm allergic to dairy. Unless you want me to go to the ER, I say neither."

We both started dying laughing after she walks away. I tap on another stranger's shoulder.

"Excuse me, sir? Do you like chocolate or vanilla ice cream better?" I asked.

"Gross, ice cream sucks ass. Bye!" He walked away.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I yelled. This is complete nonsense. Who the fuck hates ice cream? Unless, of course, they're allergic.

Dalji just laughed. People are so weird?!

~~~

We talked for a while after we finished our ice cream. We walked around in a park for a while before sitting down. 

"Hm... what's your favorite color? We ran out of things to talk about and I want to avoid awkward silence.. haha..." Dalji said, making it awkward. Wow how crazy... he wanted to avoid awkwardness but proceeded to make it awkward! How crazy! (um thats sarcasm :P)

"Um peach. And you?" I didn't really mean to be cold. It happens when the atmosphere gets awkward. I'm an extrovert, so when this kind of thing happens, my tongue goes dry and I can't be bubbly unless the mood gets picked up. Weird, right?

"I love... hm... grey. It's the color of the moon!" He replied. "Dal" means moon, so I assume that's why he said that. 

"Grey is a shade, not a color. What's your favorite color?" I replied.

"Well peach is a shade of orange! Grey is just a shade of white."

"I don't think that's how that works... but I'm not an art student and neither are you so let's just shut up about this."

"Technically... music is art."

"OH MY GOD SHUT-" I was cut off by him laughing.

"You're cute. I was kidding," he replied, still laughing. There was a silence.

"Listen, about yesterday, I'm sorry. I thought about what you said, and it was wrong of me to act like that. I just want to be friends. Can we?" He apologized.

"I can try," I said, hesitating. Call me petty, but he gives off bad vibes? 

~DALJI POV~

As I was about to answer, I see her wander off to someone. Oh shit! That's the guy I bumped into. I immediately run out of the park.

~NARI POV~

I wandered off when I saw someone familiar. I know I shouldn't have, so when I went to go back to see Dalji and apologize, I saw him bolting out of the park. Weird...

"Nari?"

"Niki?"

classic romance story. bumping into each other at a random place. kind of a short chapter but yeah. hope you enjoyedd~
