6. WHO IS HE?

I was all clouded up with what those idiots said even in the next day of class. Even though I couldn't come up with a better explanation with what I felt, this is completely nonsense. ‘Love? Me? Absurd... No way. Ha... what a Rubbish. I shouldn't have asked to those three in the first place. Let's just focus on what we have y/n.’ I thought to myself and brought my attention back to the growling professor on the platform.

The day went smoother than my wavering thoughts. I finished my work at the cafe and was about to grab coffee cans when my phone buzzed. When I looked down at it, the screen lit with the name JUSTIN. My heart skipped a beat or two.

- Today’s coffee is on me. - J

How?? Is he here? How did he know I was gonna take the coffee for him? I looked around to find the black figure but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Seriously?

- OK. I'm coming right away.

Skipping the drinks, I moved forward to the hangang. Just as usual, I saw him sitting peacefully under the tree, facing the river, his back towards me. I don't really know what went through my mind, but the next thing I knew was that I was taking his pictures in my phone.

“Have you waited for long?” I enquired while sitting beside him.
“Not much, may be a 5? Here’s your drink.”
“Thankyou. But what's with the sudden treat?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to buy one and make sure that we don't end up with another 4 cans.”

I chuckled at remembering our past mistake and amazed at how comfortable and carefree he seems while talking.
Just like how going to Hangang became a habit, spending time with him there also gradually became a habit of mine. After that day, we stayed connected with each other via messages and we also met everyday evening in the park. We talked about random things like how my college went and his day was.

I found that we always have a common interest of topic in some way or other. But one thing that remained constant was that, he never revealed his face and I never asked for it too. I was contented with having someone to understand me and to talk with. All I know is that he was damn busy in whatever job he was doing and he came here to get some time of his own in between his busy schedules. As I got to know about him more and more, the curiosity I had from the very beginning, when I first saw him in here, grew along with it.
Who is he?

******

I was woken up by the nonstop notification sounds from my phone. I checked the time and it was just an hour past midnight which got me worried on who might be calling for me at the late hour. The lit-up screen on the table showed the name JUSTIN. Why is he texted me now?

- Hey y/n, Are you there?
- Already went to sleep?
- Please wake up.

- Hey Justin ,What happened?

- Oh, did I disturb you? Were you sleeping?

- Yeah, you disturbed my beauty sleep.
Now what if I become ugly in the morning?

- Sorry.... 🙁

- 😀 😀  Why are you saying sorry?? I'm just kidding.
But what's the matter? Why are you still up?

- I wanted to let you know that I'm going out of town. Currently on my way to the airport.

- okay. When will you be back?

- Within a week. Or maybe two? Not sure.

- Okay. But why are you reporting to me?

- So that you won't wait for me in Hangang till dawn. 😉

- Ha... Whose gonna wait for you? Not me...
Anyways, Happy Journey.

- Yeah. I’ll let you know when I'm back.

- Okey Good Night.

- Good night y/n. See you soon.

See you soon??? What is this? Couples chat? I found myself smiling ear to ear after reading his message.

At the midnight, I didn't thought that his disappearance would make a big impact in me. Right now, sitting under this tree alone made me realise how much his presence mean to me. I felt every seconds was moving slow and I started waiting for his return. I realised that I was missing him. But why? As they said, am I really in love? But I don't even know what he looks like, then how can I love him?

My train of thoughts travelled wide and far as the sun sets in front of me. After that every day felt like years. For the first time, I experienced the feeling of longing for someone. The feeling of wanting to see someone so bad. After two days, I quit going to Hangang. I came back straight to dorm from the cafe and sat staring at the phone for his messages which never came.

It's been 10 days since he’s gone and I felt miserable. I missed him like crazy but donno why. I was waiting for the bus to cafe when my phone started to ring. On seeing the Caller ID, I felt like fainting. My heart started going crazy as I swiped it to green.

“Hey Justin.”
“Hello y/n, How are you?”
“I'm fine. Where are you? Why haven't you texted me till now?”
“I'm sorry, I was busy with my programs. As for your first question... Im back home.”
“You came back? When?” I couldn't control my happiness after hearing that.
“Just landed. Wanted to let you know as soon as possible.”
“oh.. Okey.. Well then... see you later?”
“yeah, see at the park. You must be on the way to the cafe, right?”

“Oh sh*t yes. Oh no, I missed the bus. I'm gonna be late today.” I was so immersed in the call and missed the bus which I saw passing the intersection in front of me. I could hear him laughing at the other end of the call.
“Why are you so cute?”
“uh? What?” what did he just say?
“no- nothing. Take a taxi. I’ll go now. Not gonna make you late anymore.”
“Okey. See you, bye”

Till now, I didn't knew that listening to someone’s voice could bring me so much happiness. My cheeks were burning and was unable to hide the smile. It was so hard to hold in my patience till it was time to leave work. Grabbing two drinks, I made my way to Hangang, enthusiasm flawing through my body.
