Simplicity- KTH

It slowly became part of Taehyung's routine to drive past the café slowly to see if he could spot no one in particular. Everytime he went past it, he used the lane closest to the café to really let his eyes scan who was in. When he'd simply caught a glimpse of a familiar young woman with her hair in a low pony, her red apron tied in front of her because she wrapped the strings around her waist, a smile adorning her face as she took an order or swept or even wiped tables. He thanked the traffic light when it was red and he was able to see and catch a longer peek at the beauty inside. She was just so captivating to Taehyung. He didn't understand why or how, but she made him so happy, undeniably and inexplicably happy. Sarang gave him a sense of humanity.

Sarang would be lying if she said she didn't want Taehyung to come back in and maybe bring a friend. Taegeu had been studying in the café constantly to not miss if Taehyung came in. It had been a week since Taehyung had come inside and met Sarang. He wanted to go back, he really did, but he had a small fear she would gain a type of confidence that would make her treat him like V and not Taehyung. But he wanted to see her, so he went.

Practice was called off that day since everyone had something going on. It meant Tae was able to stop by for a while and enjoy his time like he had done after practise a number of days ago. He always dressed up, but today he wanted to look better than ever. There was no reason for him to wear anything sporty, but he wanted to look good, unreasonably good. Not that he had a motive, he was an idol and people have seen him dressed in the worst possible ways. But if he was being seen in person, he wanted to look utterly breath-taking. More specifically, if someone in particular was seeing him.

I wore this last week, this is too casual, I don't like how this fits, this isn't even mine. Countless thoughts ran through his mind as he looked through his closet. Nothing called his attention enough to wear. There was an outfit that he had envisioned but it seemed so relaxed and casual. He wanted to dress to impress. But he also had to be reasonable with whatever he decided to wear out. After countless minutes of going through his closet, Taehyung pulled out a pinkish dress shirt and decided to build his outfit around it. He was good and everything 'fashion', therefore it wasn't difficult. He knew what he looked good in.

That morning was like every other, except for the fact that Sarang had to cover a co-workers shift. That meant she would work 16 hours. It wasn't a particularly busy day, Tuesdays were never busy. Taegeu had made it a habit of walking in before and after class to study. She stopped caring to see if Kim Taehyung would walk in or not. It just became her go to study place.

"Can you sit at a different table? I need to clear this section." Sarang asked with a yawn.

"Sure, I'll go over by the counter." Taegeu compiled. "Couldn't sleep?"

"Not even a little bit. I don't understand why though, I was so tired but when I got in bed I couldn't fall asleep." Sarang answered.

"Do you have a lot on your mind?" Taegeu asked her friend.

"Not really. I guess it was just one of those nights." She shrugged as she finished moving the table and chairs.

The bell above the door rang letting anyone who was there know that someone had arrived. Yet both girls were too caught up in their own worlds to notice. "I think you need a break. You work non-stop Sarang." Taegeu said before turning back to her study guide. Sarang looked over and saw a familiar man had walked in. Taehyung, or as she called him, Mr. Kim. She made her way over to her spot behind the counter.

"Good morning Mr. Kim, it's been a while since I've seen you." She started with a smile before preparing to take his order.

"Good morning, Sarang." He said calmly. "I've been busy, but I'm here today." He smiled, "What would you recommend for me today?"
