It's been 3 weeks since Jungkook last came to my work place.

3 Weeks ago...at the backdoor of the store,

"so we are friends already, right?" Jungkook asked for the last time before leaving the store that day.

"hmm~ maybe" I answer playfully. Just wanted to see his reaction.

"Yah ~ how could you say 'MAYBE' " Jungkook frowning.

"Hahaha~ it's just a joke. Ne ~ chingu-yah" I said it trying to be cute. I don't understand my own action too . Jungkook smiled and nodded.

"But what were you doing here in the first place. I don't think it is because you want to meet me aren't you ?" I asked him.

"Ah ! Almost forget !" Jungkook clasped him hands.

"I wanted to buy mineral water. I just remember on my way home that the water filter at my house still hadn't been fix" Jungkook told me.

"Wait here" I said to Jungkook as I headed back to the store.

A few minutes later. I came back with 3 bottles of mineral water.

"This is all 21++ won" giving him the mineral water while taking out my hand asking for the money.

He looked at my hand, then clasped his hand with mine.

"Yah ! I asked for the money" throwing his hand back.

"Hahaha! I know~ just fooling around" He said as he smiled widely.

After giving me the money, "I won't be able to meet you starting tomorrow" he said later.

I looked at him with a confused look.

"I had schedule at Japan" Jungkook added.

"and why are telling me this?" I looked at him wondering.

"tskk, just because. Who knows you might missing me then" He said.

"I won't. Thank you" I said with my tongue sticking out, merong .

.......

(back to current time) 

"huh ~~" I let out a sigh. I'm sure sighing a lot this lately.

I change my uniform into my casual attire. I was ready to leave the store, heading straight to home.

"sugohasyeotseumnida!" I said and bowed before leaving the store.

I look at the night sky. I can't see any stars.

"Of course you won't find any stars at the city, Yuu" I said it to myself. Sighing again.

"Nope ! you still can see a star at the city" someone with a familiar voice tapped my shoulder.

"Jungkook-sshi ! When did you get here? " I said as I turn my back looking for him.

"aigoo.. 'Jungkook-shhi' that's sound distant. hmm.. Just arrived this evening" Jungkook said.

"I'm sorry. I just hasn't gotten use lowering my speech with you" I said half guilty.

"You better start lowering your speech. Ne~~~ Yuuki-ah?" He said in banmal.

"I'm still older than you. Calling me like that, you sure had guts " I said not looking at him. Calling me by my first name, I can feel myself blushing over it. At my homeland, Japanese people only start calling each other by first name either they're really close or a lover. But of course a lover is not the option here. He just want us to be close, that's all.

"The Eldering system, I don't apply that rule on you, especially not you" He said as he taking out something from his bag. I was confused as why he said that.

"For you" Jungkook gives a small box to me.

"What is this" I asked him.

"Look it for yourself at home later" Jungkook said with a smile and touch the back of his neck.

"No, I'm going to open it right now" I opened the box. It was a phone strap. It has a star shape crystal on it.

(start playing the music above here ^o^ )   

"woah ~ it's beautiful" I said gazing over it.

"gomawo! Jungkook-ah" I added and smile at him.

"so did you always get home at this time?" He asked me as we walk along the neighborhood.

"sometimes I got midnight shift so I do get home later then this. But mostly I get off from my work place before 2am, around this time" I said.

"It dangerous to walk home alone, you know that right?" Jungkook said as he stop walking.

"It's not that I live that far from the store" I said to him. Our conversation start to feels weird itself. As if we're some sort of a couple.

"maybe I should walk you home from time to time" Okay this start to feels off for me when Jungkook said that.

"uh-uhm.. I don't think you should do that" I said it with a force smile.

"and I think it is more dangerous if I were with you, I guess" I said it jokingly.

Jungkook look confused after I said that.

"wae ?" Jungkook ask.

"because you are also still a stranger to me. We're just be friend not long ago. You still doesn't know about me that well too" I said it as I look away from him then walking ahead of him.

"but.." I said as I stopped in front of him," because of that, I will let you know about me hana hana from now on" I said.

"So will you let me know about you too ?" I ask Jungkook as I standing in front of him.

Jungkook smile as he heard what I said. Then he took a step closer to mine.

"Please do" he said as we are standing facing each other and smile.

My heart fluttered as I saw his smiling face. Who are you Mr. stranger to make my heart beating this fast. I thought of it not knowing that we are already that closed.
