Hwang Hyunhee absolutely adored the chilly autumn days.
Just everything about it seemed perfect to her: from the gentle breeze that usually creeped into her clothes, to the colourful picturesque trees that barely shaded the golden rays of sunshine.
The girl only realized how delightful walks near the Han River could be during this particular time of the year, ever since she started going out daily, ever since she saw him.
Once again, the girl had settled down onto the same wooden bench before she nestled into her scarf, curious eyes following his silhouette.
"My name is Lee Felix."
Hyunhee bit her lip at the memory, a gentle blush tinting her ears.
Man, she was completely head over heels.
His fluffy, slightly unkept hair, warm eyes and attentive mannerism.
She'd fallen for all of his charms the moment the she caught sigh of him.
The way the two individuals met was far from normal, really. On the one side, Hyunhee would do anything to forget her embarassing mistake, but on the other hand, the same mistake caused her to meet him.
All she remembers was how excruciatingly hot it was, the raspberry flavored frozen sweet in her hand, hectic running and then a crash.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?"
A pair of gentle hands grasped Hyunhee's shoulders making the girl look up from the fooor, precisely, the sight of her bleeding knees.
She wasn't prepared for what was about to hit her next.
By any chance, it must've been the world's prettiest human being who carefully helped her get onto her feet again.
"Oh no, you're bleeding."
Hyunhee was frozen, quite literally, as she stared at the worried male, mouth agape slightly.
All the remembers was thinking 'whoa'.
All she remembers were butterflies, thousands of them errupting in her stomach and boom, her heartbeat accelerated.
That day, the female learned two things:
A - Lee Felix visited the park regularly and
B - From that day on she'd also start visiting the park regularly.
Thus, she found herself in her current situation.
Seatend on the wooden bench, fists shaking from the cold as she observed his lean, graceful figure while he sketched or read books a few benches away.
It had become her daily routine to do so.
Call her crazy, she's never passed a single day without checking up on this beautiful human being from afar ever since.
His new acorn brown coat hugged Felix's figure just perfectly, making Hyunhee swoon at the outfit as he settled down, the familliar faux leather bag slung on his shoulder as it contained all the art supplies he'd usually need.
However, the ravenette couldn't help but notice how restless he looked that day. Almost as though he hadn't slept for a while.
Felix's eyes were hooded as he simply blinked the sight infront of him, the crashing waves of Han river.
His bag reamained untouched.
Hyunhee's head tilted at the moment she'd just witnessed, her brows arched.
It was obvious that the boy wasn't feeling well on that particular morning.
What could've been the cause for his saddened mood?
Is there any way I could help him?
The female felt her heart twitch at the sight of his shoulders dropping after he took a long inhale.
Approach him?
Never. In a million years, Hyunhee though she wouldn't ever gather the courage to approach him, even in a million years.
What were the odds, really?
What do I usually do in case I'm sad?
Of course.
Sweets.
The nearest coffee shop was a rough five minutes walk away. The only problem would be getting there and back without Felix possibly leaving again.
Hyunhee gave herself a quick pep-talk, hoping it would boost her pace before she started making her way towards the shop.
Luckily, it was still empty as rush hours hadn't started yet.
It was 5am in the morning, after all.
"One pumpkin spiced latte with a pump of caramel."
The girl's fingers tapped against the glass counter as she eyed the pastries.
"I'd like to add a carrot cake muffin."
By the time she was back, Felix was still there. Headphones blasting music into his ears as he was leaning against the fence quite comfortably, eyes closed in a silent rest.
The female slapped her cheeks once, twice before she approached him.
You can do this.
The closer she got to the boy, the more her heartbeat quickened. Hyunhee was able to make out the more details about him.
His slightly chapped lips which were pursed in a small pout.
The clumsily smudged eyeliner around the ridges of his eyes.
The way he clutched the little chick key chain he's been bringing since day one.
Carefully, the girl placed the order down, cold sweat trailing down her back, making her armpits feel weird. She topped it off with a small note she'd written while the coffee was being made.
Done.
A peaceful silence.
Gosh, I'm like some crazy fangirl.
Slowly, the girl turned around, before she quickly walked away, at the verge of errupting into squeals as a million dollar smile made her cheeks hurt.
She walked away, never turning around once.
She walked away, oblivious to how, in the meantime, Lee Felix had opened his eyes.
His gaze, which immediately wandered to the small gift she'd left before a small smile sneaked intself onto his face, soon turning into a grin before.
The wa he turned around, watching her figure as she left intently, never breaking the gaze, until the very moment she wasn't visible anymore.
