"Amidst the warmth of candlelight, moments become memories and connections."
The cozy cafe was dimly lit as always. Soft chattering of people sitting far away from each other was in the air. It was probably the most peaceful place in town. Away from the hustle and bustle of life, everyone was just lost in their own world.
The candle placed on her table flickered abit due to the air coming in from the window.
Emma, a normal teen girl with a hectic life like every other person smiled to herself enjoying the cozy atmosphere.
She looked outside the glass window only to see people moving here and there. Some were with their luggage, some with office bags, some with little kids but everyone was in their own world not caring about anyone else.
She looked away, this time her gaze lingered in her surroundings. She smiled again seeing how everyone there was with someone, nobody was sitting alone on the table but her.
Chuckling to herself she began staring at the flickering candle while sipping her favorite latte.
Minutes after when she was still in her own world, someone clearing their throat took her out of daze.
"Excuse me."the stranger began, standing infront of her table.
Emma quickly adjusted herself, asked,
"Yes?"
"Is this seat taken?"he asked.
"No."Emma replied, confused.
"Can I sit here?"he asked again, his voice soft and melodious making Emma feel things she never felt before.
She got lost in her thoughts for a second but nodded anyway.
"I see you here quite often."he said immediately after he sat down infront of her.
"Yeah I come here every weekend, it's my comfort place."she smiled, not knowing why she felt comfortable in his presence as if she knew him since ages.
"I see."
"It's my first time seeing you here tho?"Emma asked.
"I come here often Miss, it's just you who is always in your own world."he chuckled.
Emma felt abit embarrassed. She wasn't used to any of this. It was her first time sitting face to face with someone and that too with a guy who was probably a stranger.
"I guess you like this too much."he said pointing at the cup infront of Emma on the table.
"Yeah it's my favorite among all the other drinks available here."
"Yeah I see you ordering it often. Anyways, what's your name?"
Emma was abit shocked when she heard he knew this much about her but something in her told her to ignore every feeling and just continue the conversation.
"It's Emma, Yourself?
"Sungho, Park Sungho."his smile returned.
Emma couldn't help but feel things whenever the guy smiled.
"Nice name, Sungho."she said.
An hour passed by without them even knowing. Their conversation glided on smoothly without any awkwardness or pauses. It felt like they were meant to be there that moment, sharing tales of their lives under the dimly lit candlelight.
"You seem like such a good company Emma."sungho said after he was done laughing at the dad joke Emma just shared.
"It's my first time being this much comfortable with someone in the first meeting so credits to you I guess."she replied smiling, looking into those pretty eyes of his.
"Friends then?"he asked, sliding his hand forward infront of her.
Emma smiled placing her own hand on his gently and replied,
"Without any doubts."
🕯️🕯️
It's been two months of their friendship, they used to come to the cafe more often, sharing stories, making each other laugh, forget their worries in each other's company.
Emma got a partner for her lonely and depressed self and he finally got the person he used to admire from afar.
"It's crazy how a simple candle can make two strangers feel like old friends."he chuckled sipping on the latte that used to be her favourite.
"Yeah it's like a shared secret."Emma replied, her cheeks flushed with the candlelit warmth.
Both of them stayed quiet for a few minutes. They just kept their gaze fixed on the candle flickering there on the table.
The silent moment was disturbed with Emma's phone ringing.
She flinched, composing herself she picked up the call.
"What? But why?"panic took over her and it was clearly there in her voice as she answered the phone.
Seconds later, she put down the phone, holding her hair in frustration.
"What happened Emma? Is everything alright?"sungho questioned, that same calm tone that always made Emma feel calm even in tense situations.
"Remember about the performance I told you about, well guess what my partner just rejected me cuz he want to perform with someone else. I guess I'm just gonna be alone as always."she was a second away from crying her heart out.
"We can make it work Emma but you've to calm down first."he gently held her hand in his.
"But how?"she finally looked up.
"You can give me a chance if that's okay with you, I'd like to be your partner."he said looking in her eyes.
"Really? You can dance?"Emma was shocked, her eyes widened for a second.
"Yah I'm quite a good dancer, what's with this reaction?"he sulked, making her smile.
"Ok then Emma×Sungho it is then."she excitedly shouted.
He couldn't help but giggle looking at her excited figure.
