my nose was blocked from the cold weather. oh how much i miss summer. matthew and i would play beach volleyball and capture crabs. but now we're stuck inside our homes with 4 pieces of layered clothing. if only matthew was here right now. it would be sunnier.
*ding*

matthew: y/n, how's it going?

y/n: it's been worse ever since u moved😒

matthew: chilllll im just gonna be gone for two more months. you know how long the stray kids world tour takes😕

y/n: yeah whatever. it's so cold here

matthew: go drink coffee

y/n: no thank you. I would rather stay in my house than go outside in that snow blizzard to get a cup of coffee

matthew: 😟 I mean ok u do u girl

I mean I guess I could go out for something to drink. I put on my sweater and some long socks with boots. the cafe is only 9 blocks away , i thought. as i began walking, my hands started turning red. it's ok. just 5 more blocks.
as soon as i got there i plopped down on a chair. sigh. I need to start working out more. i looked at the menu. i think i'll just get a caramel macchiato. i walk up to the counter and speak. "one caramel macchiato, please."
when i got the drink, I sat back down on the seat i was sitting on before and went on my phone. someone tapped on my shoulder. "yes?" i say while looking up. it was a man with black hair and bangs. his eyes were so puppy like and reminded me of pou. "oh- um" he stuttered. i smiled. "is anyone sitting here?" he asked awkwardly. "no, you can sit down." he smiled and bowed. i drank my coffee and watched instagram reels. time to time i would peek over to him to see what he's doing. i went back home and ran to my bed. finally. i can't stand being in a place with so many people. but why did i feel so comfortable with that man? let's just go to sleep.

the next day i visited my neighborhoods park. it was a big water fountain with blue lights around it and white triangle patterns. i sat on a bench. i needed to take a break from technology after all. a few minutes passed. gosh. i probably look like an idiot doing nothing but watching the waterfall light up. i should go somewhere else. ah! the cafe! i walked down the street and soon enough i found the cafe. when i entered i saw the guy again. he caught me staring at him. oh shoot. act cool, y/n. i bowed to him. he slightly smiled and then bowed a little. his tiny actions make me grin. i walk up to the counter and order a macchiato again. "okay, that will be $4.50." i nod and reach for my wallet. my heart stopped. I didn't have my wallet on me. i'm so stupid. I only came here to do something not buy something. i smile awkwardly. "ma'am, i'll pay for her." someone said. when i turned around i saw that guy again. he looked at me with a friendly smile as i had my face in shock.
when i got my order, i avoided eye contact with him. why am i so nervous? "are you ok???" he said with a genuine look. "yes i'm fine, i'm just not used to people with such kind manners." i let out a little laugh. he gets flustered. "you're cute" i blurt out accidentally. oh hell no butterfly. my eyes twitch as i try to keep a smile on my face. he stays silent for a while. "you're.. kinda cute too." he responds. my face becomes hot. "OH THANK YOU I GOTTA GO BYE-" as i was walking away i thought of every single thing he did that made me feel something. he was just so... nice. the rest of the day i spent my time thinking about ways i could meet him again.

woongki: is it me or is y/n finally getting a life?
