coffee + her

Jungkook didn't need to look out the window to know, it was pouring outside. He could hear the down pour from his bed.

Damn, I really am lucky, he chuckled at himself.

Rainy days, what are horrible for most people, are absolute blessings for him. These are the rare days he is actually able to join society in daylight, because almost no one's ever outside.

This worked perfectly with his plans today, as he was already heading out to drop the wallet off at the station.

He grabbed his big blue umbrella and headed out.

The streets were empty. No one was outside. He grinned through his mask, enjoying the bitter sweetness this day was offering him.

Before anything, he needed coffee.

So he made a tiny detour to his favorite, secret, coffee place not to far from his place.

The coffee shop only had one large window in the front, big enough to scan the inside before entering. It was never crowded anyway but today, as he predicted, it would be just him and the barista Binnie.

"Binnie!" He said entering cheerfully.
"Kookie!" The man behind the corner said in a pitched voice. "I knew you would be coming today." Jungkook shook out his umbrella and took off his, now damp, mask.

"Oh really" he said playfully.
"Yeah, you always come here when it rains, I should call you rain boy" Jungkook laughed at this, it was ridiculous but proving to be true.

"The regular?" Binnie asked. Jungkook nodded, the regular.

For him the regular was a latte with banana milk (extra sweet). Sometimes he would even add a little pastry to go with it. However, at that moment it was to early for him to eat anything so he stuck with the coffee.

Looking around he realized he had never actually sat down in here. He was always so focused on trying not to be recognized that he never even made it past the counter. I should enjoy this moment, he thought. I'm not in any hurry, plus nobody's here. With that, he made his way to the back of the little shop and enjoyed every sip of his latte.

After about 15 minutes the doorbell rang, causing him to jerk up in shock. He quickly put on his mask, and positioned himself to the side for his face not to be seen as much. Because of this he didn't see who entered, but from the voice he knew she was female.

"Can I get one Chai Latte please, extra hot, and one mocha"

"Sure thing!" Binnie responded. "Can I get a name for the order"

"Luna" she quickly replied.

Wait.

"Ah, what a pretty name."

Luna.

What a coincidence!

He knew she couldn't have lived far, as she did run back to her house, but seeing her this quickly was way too random.

He knew what he had to do, give her the wallet. But his legs were numb, and his heart pace started racing, he was afraid. What if she recognizes me! Then I'd never be able to come back her, and this is the only hidden place I have.

Still, he causosly stood and made his way to her, dreading the awkwardness that was about to transpire.

"Um...Excuse me" Her head turned around and faced him.

Woah

her eyes looked like brown marbles in the sun. They were so clear he felt that if he looked hard enough, he could see what laid behind them. They were mesmerizing.

"I-is there any chance your Luna Lin?" She gave him a confused look.

"Yes, I am, can I help you?" Binnie, now done with her order, placed her two drinks on the counter. She looked at them and then him, still confused.

"Sorry to bother you, I just think I might have your wallet, I found it on the street last night" He said with a unexpected confidence.

Her face lit up, "my wallet! Oh, thank god, I thought I lost it for good" she exclaimed. It was then he realized how pretty she was. She looked like the color yellow, she was bright and radiant. Her smile filled the room, filled him.

"Thank you so much!" She said while he handed her the wallet.

"No problem!" He could feel it, he was blushing like a fool. I just hope this mask covers it, he thought to himself as he nervously chuckled.

"Umm...", his right arm reached the back of his head and started nervously rustling his hair, "I'll let you get back to your coffee". Before he could even take a step he heard,

"Wait!" He froze. She can't mean me. "I didnt even get your name." My name.

He definitely couldn't tell her his real name, but something about her that made him want to...

"Jung...

I can't.

...wook"

Her eyes smiled at him, "nice to meet you Jungwook!", he gave a tiny bow.

"Nice to meet you Luna..."
