Malls And Moments

Bumping Into You

Y/N strolled through the mall on a lazy Saturday afternoon, the usual buzz of weekend shoppers filling the air. She wasn't looking for anything in particular—just enjoying the day, window shopping, and maybe treating herself to something small. She walked past stores, idly glancing at the displays, until a brightly lit boutique caught her eye. The latest fall fashion trends were showcased in the window, and something about the cozy sweaters drew her in.

As Y/N made her way toward the entrance, her mind wandered, and she didn't notice the figure walking directly toward her.

Bam!

"Oof!" she gasped, stumbling slightly as she collided with someone. "I'm so sorry!"

The person she bumped into turned around quickly, hands up as if to help her. "Oh no, I wasn't paying attention! Are you okay?"

The voice was low, warm, and had a distinct accent that made her blink in surprise. Y/N looked up and immediately recognized the face staring back at her—Felix Lee from Stray Kids. His striking features, sandy blond hair, and those unmistakable freckles were hard to miss. He looked as shocked as she felt.

"Felix?" The name slipped out before she could stop herself.

Felix's eyes widened for a moment, and then a sheepish smile spread across his face. "Yeah, that's me. And I just bumped into you. Sorry about that."

Y/N's heart raced, her mind still processing the fact that she had literally just run into one of her favorite idols. "It's okay. Really. I wasn't looking either." She let out a nervous laugh, trying to play it cool.

He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, looks like we both need to work on our awareness."

For a moment, they stood there, a bit awkward but not in an uncomfortable way. Felix glanced around the mall and then back at her, tilting his head slightly. "Are you shopping for something specific?"

"Uh, no, not really. Just browsing," she said, still in a daze from the fact that she was casually chatting with Felix from Stray Kids. "What about you?"

"Same here. Just killing time, I guess." He gave her a bright smile. "Do you mind if I join you?"

Y/N blinked in surprise. "Wait, you want to... shop together?"

"Yeah, why not?" Felix shrugged, looking casual and open. "If you don't mind, of course. It's always more fun shopping with someone."

Her heart fluttered at the unexpected turn of events. "Sure," she said, trying to stay calm. "I'd love that."
