Opening the full glass door, tipped her toe slowly inside the cafe as she just doesn't want anyone to notice her presence but her whole body flinched when the bell over her head rang, indicating that someone has entered the cafe, and her doe eyes widened big looking at the two particular people who were staring back at her.

"Shit, Susan. You are such a shit," she murmured to herself before turning around and rushing out of the cafe as soon as possible. "Taehyung" Namjoon mumbled as he stared at him. Taehyung who was cleaning the cups also froze on the spot, looking at the girl running away from both of them.

Taehyung wasn't moving any inches and he was left with some thoughts which were noticed by Namjoon and he came towards Taehyung. "Taetae, wanna talk to her? If you want, I can come with you," Namjoon said, looking down at Taehyung. Taehyung's lips made a thin line and Namjoon's dimples came to the display. "Let's go, then," he said, taking Taehyung's hand in his and walking past Jimin who was sitting at one of the tables.

"What about me?" Jimin yelled, looking at the two people who were about to exit the cafe. "Take care of the customers and exactly after 26 minutes, clean the floor and close the cafe. I will get the keys from your house." Namjoon yelled and went out of the cafe, making Jimin roll his eyes before staring at that one old guy who was having his coffee, scrolling down his phone.

"Hey, Mister," Jimin called, making the old man look back at him. "It's so cold outside, how can you manage to go back to your house at this age?" Jimin questioned, and the old man turned completely towards Jimin, and his fingers were asking Jimin to come closer. "Who called you old? Do I look like one?" He asked and Jimin gulped before shaking his head no, turning away from the old man.

"These days kids don't respect elders," and with that the old man started talking to himself, making Jimin release a huge sigh and just then he saw Julia crossing the cafe, walking towards her house. She was chatting to someone on phone and just then Jimin received a text on his own.

"I'm just crossing your friend's cafe," Jimin read her text and he raised his head to look at the girl. "Where are you?" she texted again, not looking inside. Closing his screen, Jimin wanted to ignore her texts and he saw her crossing the cafe completely, vanishing from his sight.

His foot was restlessly tapping on the floor as he ignored the texts and looked at the other side. But the more he wanted not to think about her, the more he was thinking about her. "Fuck" he cussed before standing up and the old man stood up along with him, making Jimin look back at him. "Did you just curse at me?" he said, coming towards Jimin and Jimin shook his head before yelling a no as he started running outside the cafe.

As Jimin ran out of the cafe, the old man's scolding was fading in the background and he was moving close to Julia. Julia who was plugging into her headphones didn't notice Jimin behind her and once Jimin came to her line, she tilted her head and wondered who was standing so close to her. Julia smiled wide before taking off her headphones and looked at Jimin with her fond eyes.

"Were you in the cafe?" She asked but Jimin's eyes shifted to the old man who was walking towards them, still yelling at Jimin. Julia's eyebrows jumped when he was coming closer towards them. "Look dear, he isn't respecting me. Ask him to respect elders." He said before walking in between, crossing them while Julia was holding back her laughter, looking at Jimin whose face clearly shows he was pissed off so badly.

But her smile vanished and her eyes widened at him. "Did you come out since he was coming after you? You didn't come for me?" she asked, pushing his chest gently, and Jimin's eyes fell on her pink-tinted lips that were pouted at her question. "Ahh- no, it wasn't it- I came to see you," Jimin said and instantly she smiled back at the choice of his words. She was already putting her headphones inside her bag and she came closer to the man.
