"You know what? He didn't shake hands with me!" I ranted on phone to my bestfriend. Lucas, he is my childhood buddy. He is my dad's pack beta's son.
"You should have just said 'Hi' no need for shake hands this place isn't America," He sighs.
"I don't know he still shouldn't have ignored it what's wrong with shaking hands not that I'm molesting him or something,"
"Some guys are just conservative will you stop sulking for it,"
"Okay," I pouted while walking to god knows where.

I wanted a quite spot for now. I saw a back staircase door. I walk over their. Knowing that no one goes that place and its open and safe. I made it my secret hideout.

"Anyways how's the search for mate is going on?" I asked and sighs deeply and I added, "You've been sighing alot,"
"Because I'm going crazy everyone of my age are already having pups,"

Lucas cries. Not literally.

"Why are were wolves so horny?" I ask looking at my phone weirdly.
"I'm not horny! Leave it you'll won't understand!" He yells and I pull phone away from my ear rolling my eyes.
"Hmm... for sure,"
"That sucks, I hope you find one soon du-" I opened the door and the first thing I saw was a person sitting on the staircase smoking. He looks back at me.
"Holy molly!"
"What?!" He exclaims. "What do you mean?" I was just speechless looking at the guy.

His hair was messy and and his eyes were like wolves, dark and killer gaze. He had this irritated expresion on his face and a a cigarette in his mouth. He pulls it out blowing some smoke. DATZ HWAT!!

"What are you looking at piss off!" He swears and I just took a step back closed and door. Nevermind. He is handsome though. Damn that sharp jaw and dimples on his cheeks.

"What was that sound?" Lucas asks over the phone, "Are you alright? Are you danger?"
"Nothing just met a douchebag anyways, I was saying that, Wait what was saying?"
I heard him sigh, "You know what? Nevermind!"
"Oh c'mon are you sulking already you have long way to go," I said giggling trying to think but at the back of my head.

I kept replaying his eyes. They looked familiar. His side profile is like his. I never actually knew how he looked in real because. When I met him the future. His face was half burned and scarred so I never saw him.

I heard Lucas saying and mindlessly answered all in Yes, but looking back at the door. A sigh escaped my lips as I flipped my hair still looking but turn around to leave.

Meanwhile...

He walks crushes the cigarette under his feet and got up holding his belongings. He walks out of the door, his eyes focusing on the girl who just walked in. He looked at her back as she waddled down the hallway. He rolls his eyes, before walking away from the staircase.

The day passed pretty well, I was at work. Cleaning tables, taking orders and serving desserts. It was a busy day and today bakery had many customers. My shift ended and I was about to leave. I took off my apron, beret and shirt placing it inside the staff locker. I walk out, I was going to greet the owner. When I saw Soobin standing there.

He looks at me for a moment and turned around. He is way more introvert, I thought. He'd be or maybe he doesn't like me. I didn't do anything wrong. I sulked standing there. He was tall, I inched closer to him and I think I only reached up to his neck. I was pretty tall in my family, like 5'6.

He was wearing a bucket hat, glasses and cardigan. Looking all furry and cozy. The staff gave him, his box of garlic bread I guess. Yes, It smells lile garlic bread. He thanks him and walks out quickly. He didn't even take a look at me.

"Narae, What are you looking at?" Seungmin asks. I shake my head, "Nothing!" My voice sounded weary that I regretted saying.
"Do you know that guy?" He asks leaning forward on the table. I narrow my eyes with a sigh.

"We are in same class, so Kind off!"
"He comes here everyday to buy breads and sweets, I guess he likes bread and sweets. We just suit his taste."

I shurgged wondering why was he telling this? "Maybe. anyways, when the owner comes tell him I left," I told Seungmin and he nods with a smile and dashed out of the bakery.

Why can't I get this guy out of my head? Urgh! Then sudden replay of the smoker guy's face in my head. Irritated me even more, I walked back home swearing at everything. Returning to home, I once again sat down on my desk. I had nothing to do today so I took out the paint brush and small canvas, I kept in drawer.

I tried to remember every little detail from afternoon's encounter. Painting was the way I could get things off my head. I never thought of making it a career. It was just a hobby even if people told me to make career fine arts and I have talent. I just remembered about that moment from art class in US.

My looked at the picture wondering, because I felt something was missing. I tried to remember his face again and  I did, he recalled he had dimples. I drew his dimples, I stared at the painting for a moment. It was the same scene with smoke coming out from his mouth while he sat on the stairs his necklace he was wearing. I drew everything.

A satisfactory smile made its way to my lips. I raised the canvas high up in the air, leaning back on my chair. Pretty!

I just remembered him again. I smiled, I will find you again and make you my friend. I will save you from that tragedy that happened in your life. He never told me about what really happened but still I think if I just tell him to cautious I can still help him right. He was my only one in that dark future, where I was completely lost. The sudden sound of gunshots just snapped me out into reality. I gasped looking at the wall, a sigh escaped my lips understanding it was just a hallucination.
