TALES OF THE HEART

06.

Blind Dates. Nanon didn't know what to think of them, nor did he not want to know just how Chimon managed to convince him to go on one.

He didn't like to meet up with people he didn't know on a regular basis.

Now here he was, waiting to meet up with someone he didn't know, forced to make a conversation and keep the night going long enough to call it a day.

Being an introvert like he was had its downs, mostly it came to socialising.

He didn't know how to socialise well, and he preferred to be home in his couch binge watching Marvel movies more than anything else.

Being by himself was comforting enough but Chimon had to always have his way. 

He glanced around the open space. Many people were beginning to arrive, more tables were beginning to be occupied.

Perhaps he shouldn't have been here this early. He took out his phone and went through it. He navigated towards the Pinterest app.

It helped him with different ideas he could work on for his blog videos. Honestly he loved the app.

It was more peaceful there than any other social apps he was part of. Less toxicity and less hateful things went around there.

The last video blog he did was when he was in Korea, tasting out different dishes one could possibly stumble upon.

The food had been tasty, rich in flavour, he had enjoyed it. It had been a while ever since he updated his YouTube channel.

He never went this long without updating his fans. But more than anything he wondered what he could possibly make a video review of?

Perhaps home decors, maybe Fashionista Magazines buildings? It would be great. Thinking of Fashionista, Ohm's image flashed by.

He wondered what the young man could possibly be doing at the moment. As energetic as he is, perhaps swimming, playing video games, or an outing with friends. Or perhaps texting him.

As if he just came to a realisation, was it weird that Ohm hadn't called nor talked to him for the last 3 hours? Hovering over his contacts, Nanon stopped.

He has never once called Ohm. He never had to. It had always been him calling all the time.

Would it be weird if he did? He placed back the phone and waited for his blind date. His focus was here not Ohm. 

"_" 

"Nanon" a voice called out. 

When Nanon raised his head from his phone, he was met with soft looking eyes. But seeing the person before him, Nanon's eyes widened in surprise. 

"Jimmy" he immediately rose from his other side of the seat and came to hug him, "What are you doing here?" 

"Your blind date surprisingly" he chuckled at the realisation. 

"Since when did you need a blind date?" Nanon asked as they settled down

"I could be asking you, why are you here looking for someone?" 

"Honestly I'm not, I'm just doing any friend a favour" 

"Now I know why it seemed as if you didn't know me as we messaged each other"

Jimmy was Nanon's close friend. It was then that he realised Jimmy and Chimon had never met.

Nanon met Jimmy when he was doing his degree for Photography, they attended the same class. 

"So what are you doing here?" Nanon asked once again 

"I'm in town visiting, I'm about to leave soon though. I was surprised seeing your profile on tinder so I had to surprise you"
