Junhui sat at his usual spot in the café, sipping on his hot Americano while he scrolled through his phone. It was a quiet afternoon, and the café was nearly empty except for a few scattered patrons engrossed in their own worlds. Lost in his thoughts, Junhui didn't notice the figure that approached the counter until a soft voice broke through the silence.
"Excuse me, could I get a caramel latte, please?"
Junhui looked up from his phone, his gaze immediately captured by the person standing at the counter. It was you, the sight of you causing a warmth to spread through his chest. You were the epitome of elegance, with your hair cascading down your shoulders and a gentle smile gracing your lips.
The barista nodded, flashing you a friendly smile before starting on your order. Junhui couldn't tear his eyes away from you, captivated by your presence. He watched as you pulled out a book from your bag, flipping through the pages with a focused expression.
As the barista handed you your drink, you turned around, nearly colliding with Junhui who was lost in his thoughts. You stumbled slightly, but Junhui quickly reached out to steady you, his hand gently gripping your arm.
"Sorry about that," he said, his voice tinged with concern.
You looked up, meeting his gaze, and your eyes widened in recognition.
"Oh, it's okay. Thank you for catching me."
Junhui's heart skipped a beat at the sight of your smile, feeling a rush of warmth spreading through him.
"Are you new here? I haven't seen you around before."
You nodded, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear.
"Yeah, I just moved here recently for work."
A spark of excitement lit up in Junhui's eyes.
"That's great! I'm Junhui, by the way. Would you like to join me?"
You hesitated for a moment before nodding, a shy smile playing on your lips.
"Sure, I'd love to."
As you settled into the seat across from him, Junhui couldn't help but feel a sense of serendipity wash over him. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring the two of you together in that quiet café on a mundane afternoon.
As you engaged in conversation, Junhui found himself completely enchanted by you. Your laughter was like music to his ears, and the way your eyes lit up when you talked about your passions filled him with admiration.
As the hours passed by, Junhui realized that he didn't want this moment to end. He found himself hoping that this serendipitous encounter would turn into something more, a beginning of something beautiful between him and you.
And as you said your goodbyes, exchanging phone numbers with promises to meet again, Junhui couldn't help but feel grateful for that chance encounter that had brought you into his life. He knew that he had found something special in you, something worth holding onto. And he couldn't wait to see where this unexpected journey would take the two of you.
