When I was young, I would engulf myself with novels so it made me much more prepared when I got out in the real world. My parents divorce, my friends changing, and keeping memories. The only thing I hadn't experienced yet was heartbreak. Well not a painful one, like the ones that rip you out.
I mean I was popular with girls and I did date some of them but they were short relationships. Love was just a feeling I didn't linger for.
"Hey, Jimin. Stop spacing out, it scares me," Yoongi said waving his hand to my face.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about things."
"Like what?"
"Yoongi have you ever experienced love."
Yoongi stayed quiet for a second.
"I did once. It's a great feeling but somehow he woke up one day and decided he didn't love me anymore. That's why some people find love scary... people can change so quickly and leave."
"Guess I don't want to look for love then."
"Sometimes you don't have to look for it. Sometimes it finds you," Yoongi said patting my hair.
"So gaming rooms today?"
"No"
I stood up and groaned. Today was going to be the only crowded day this week because of exams and I felt kind of nervous. I wasn't great with a huge crowd.
"It's okay tomorrow I can study on my own and enjoy great noodles," I told myself as I got changed.

Jeon was managing the place again. It had been a week since I had last seen him and I still hadn't properly thanked him for the last time.
"Jeon, thank you for last time. I would gladly like to buy you a drink to show my thanks," I said when I got to him. He was typing on his computer and just nodded.
"A peach tea would be nice."
I quickly went to get a peach tea and when I got back to him, there was a group of girls around him.
"Jeon I got you a drink," one of the girls said with a sweet smile across her face.
"And I also got you a biscuit since you like them," said another girl.
One of the girls started touching his arm delicately. I looked at the peach tea and decided to not interrupt, maybe some other time I could thank him.
"Jiminie!!", Tae yelled when he saw me.
"Hii!"
"You like peach tea?"
"Oh, not really. I got it for Jeon but it seems they beat me to it."
Tae glanced at Jeon and chuckled.
"That guy is always surrounded by girls. He's got some body counts but I don't think he's a fuckboy like that."
Tae stared at me for a bit.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Okay...

The games had been hectic today.
Two guys were fighting over a chick and the boss had entered at the wrong time. He kicked one out and scolded the other.
"This is not a dating place. Take your fights somewhere else," he said as he pulled his suit in place.
The boss was quite scary but he was also very kind. He greeted everyone even me and went to the office, probably to work on important things. Everyone was leaving and of course, I was lined up for a strawberry smoothie.
"Hi Jimin," Jeon said as he stood behind me in line.
"Helloo."
"You never got me my peach tea."
"You looked busy."
He let out a small laugh.
"Maybe you should've disrupted me."
I stared at him in confusion.
"Will you be here tomorrow?"
I nodded.
"Maybe I'll be here for a bit and then you can buy me a drink."
"Mhmhmhm."
"Alright," he said and left.
