Realities

longing looks, exchanged glances

What do I call you - Taeyeon

Reality B:

1:07 pm:
He was right there. I was panicking majorly. I forgot how to breathe? Okay deep breath. It's okay it's okay, I'm just going to monitor him from afar for a bit.
So that's exactly what I did, I monitored very creepily for a while. From what I gathered, he's very cheerful and bubbly. I would also pay money to be able to hear his laugh over and over again, but no big deal. Did I mention that he was also really really pretty? Mesmerising even, with a cute button nose that would scrunch up whenever he laughed, full lips, freckles dusted across his nose and cheeks, and a pale complexion.

The guy who noticed me passing them judgemental glances was sitting right next to him, and 2 more people sat opposite them. One of them had platinum blonde curly hair which was medium length, adorable dimples that popped out whenever he laughed, a broad nose, a nice jawline, and eyes that reflected light and sparkled.

And then the one sitting next to dimples had a beautiful smile that made me smile as well, dark brown hair, full cheeks, a tall nose, and a bottom lip that was slightly fuller than the top. I noticed he was also a fan of the raspberry cheesecake which scored him a couple points in my book. Any friend of cheesecake, is a friend of mine.

I knew I wanted to walk up to them, but what would I even say? "Hey I'm sorry to disturb you, but I've been dreaming of you every night and thinking about you every day." Hell no.

I didn't know how much time I had until they got up to leave so I had to act quick. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't notice one of them had been staring at me for a while. Probably because I was staring at them as well. It was the one with the platinum blonde hair and dimples. He looked at me weirdly then went back to his conversation with his friends. Well that's embarrassing.

I suddenly came to a realization. I had absolutely no idea if any of them spoke English. Shit.
Unfortunately, before I had time to think on that a little bit longer, I found myself getting up and watched as my feet took me to their table before I could do anything about it. As I neared their table, all sorts of alarm bells rang in my head, but then it was too late because there I was standing right in front all of them. Their conversation died down as they noticed me and they all directed their full attention towards me as they waited for me to say something, anything.

Unfortunately, my brain decided to lag at that very moment and I said nothing. Seconds turned into a full minute and I still hadn't said anything. To make matters worse, they all now look very confused and even slightly uncomfortable.

Alright time's up, now is the time to act before I scare them so much they just get up and leave. Due to the pure panic I felt, I had no time to think about what to say next and so I said the first thing that came to mind. It was a very bad idea.

"Hi! I'm really sorry but do any of you speak English?" I asked with one of the biggest smiles I've ever given anyone.
"Yes, we do." Dimples answered while pointing at him and freckles. I detected an accent coming from him and wondered if they were both foreigners as well.
"Oh thank god. I've been trying to find the bathroom for ages but didn't know who to ask." I laughed awkwardly.

...i really do hate myself. What kind of a stupid question was that? Did I actually think they'd believe such a horrible excuse? In this quaint, not-so-big cafe I couldn't have looked around for a bathroom sign? Or even asked someone that works here? I'm sure I look fucking stupid right about now. Adding more terror onto my already mortified self, I then noticed that there was a neon sign that had "bathroom" written in big bold letters literally right in my line of vision. I hate everything.

I noticed Yeonjun giving me strange looks from behind the counter and I gave him a look signaling that it was nothing he should worry about, although I wasn't so convinced of that myself.
