UNEXPECTED // P. JIHOON

twenty five

it was a really nice day so me and chris decided to go for a walk in the city and maybe get some coffee.

"so have you talked to jihoon yet?", he asks as we walk through my neighbourhood.

"nope. it's been 4 days and we haven't even said hello to each other at our company."

"why not? you guys are acting like teenagers", he shakes his head.

"you're right, he tried to call me so many times and had sent at least 100 messages. i just didn't have the energy to talk, i think i might be overwhelmed with everything. my job, my relationship and those crazy fans who can't stop sending me these great messages", i laugh sarcastically.

"i thought you didn't care about that?"

"that's true, but i think it affects me since everything is happening at once."

we walk around for almost two hours until we agree on finally getting something to drink and eat since we both got hungry.

we walk to a little restaurant that we went to for years.

"kaia! chris! i missed you guys, how come you haven't been here for months?", the owner of the restaurant says while hugging us.

"hello, ms. choi. we've been really busy and haven't found the time to", i apologise.

"i saw some articles about you and i can't believe you haven't told me that you're dating a star!", she smiles excitedly.

"i guess now you know", i say awkwardly. i still can't believe that there are articles written about me and i don't think i'll get used to it any time soon.

"sit down, i'll get you something to eat", ms choi says and points to the table we would always sit at.

after finishing every last bite of our food, we stay a little longer until we notice some young girls walking into the restaurant.

i look at chris and he immediately knows what i'm trying to tell him through the look in my eyes.

we stand up and walk to the owner to pay.

she almost doesn't let us leave but eventually gave up since we promised her we would come back soon.

as we start walking to the exit one of the girls starts pointing at me and saying something to her friends.

"let's just go", chris whispers and drags me by my arm.

"that's her... if i was jihoons girlfriend i could never cheat on him", one of the girls says and laughs.

i turn around and walk towards her.

"excuse me, do you know me?", i ask.

"i'm a fan of your boyfriend", she smiles almost as if she was trying to start a fight.

"great, then stop talking about me like that, especially when i can hear you."

"are you this rude when your with jihoon? i'm pretty sure he wouldn't waste much time on a girl like that."

"just mind your own business, you don't know anything about their relationship", chris says then grabs me by my arm and drags me out of the restaurant.
