Chapter 9 - Late Night Chat

Adriana P.O.V

WOW be doesn't even remember you.

He probably thinks your some kind of weird fan.

Why do you come out in sweats? You look homeless?

Maybe I should turn around and go home to avoid awkwardness.

All of these thoughts ran through my mind as I just stood there next to Jackson in utter silence. I couldn't help but look down at my torn up converse.

"You're the from the fountain. " he responded slowly .

He must be tired from practice or something.

"I didn't mean to interrupt you. It's just that you're kind of in the way of the door. " I chuckled.

Realizing what I just said, he bowed in apology.

"I'm sorry." He said as he moved aside .

Confused about what just happened I could help but ask him if he was going inside. I approached the door as I held it open behind me.

"Are you coming in too?" I turned to smile .

He looked kind of lost and just kept staring into the cafe.

Fine, don't answer.

I walked in and saw that the table I sat in earlier was still available.

Shit.

I still don't know Korean that well.

What do I say again?

"Annyeong, uh one iced Americano please? " I asked while used my pointer finger to signal the number one.

The cashier instantly knew I was American and smiled once I had asked for my coffee. She quickly gave it to me as I paid and went straight to the empty table.

" Annyeonghaseyo , eotteohke jinaeseyo (how are you) ? " Jackson said politely.

He must be a regular .

I dozed off and look out my notebook reviewing things I learned about earlier. Jackson was still at the counter ordered who knows what as he continued to have a conversation with the cashier.

I decided to listen to some music and write some more until I finished my coffee.

No Way by Adrian Marcel played as I felt someone tap my shoulder. I jumped since I was so into the music and looked up to see Jackson pointing to the chair across from me.

Was he asking to sit with me?

He sat down as soon as I nodded and took out my headphones.

"So you're American right? " he asked .

"Yeah, can you tell?" I put my hands on the table and crossed my hands.

"Just a little haha, what are you doing? Uh JYP Entertainment? " he said as he just grabbed my folder full of notes. He was clearly skimming through .

"Your going to Hong Kong with us too?" He asked .

Hong Kong?

"Oh you mean for the MAMA awards? Yeah I'm going it's apart of my program ."

"Oh wow, that's great, I'll be performi-"

"Jackson!" The cashier called out, it seemed as if his order was finally ready.

This kid got a full meal at the cafe , you does that?

"You don't mind if I sit here right?" He asked once he got his food.

Shaking my head, he sat down and started to eat away. How he managed to order food at 10:30 at night? I have no clue, but he was enjoying it . Every bite he took, it was obvious that he clearly love it.

"I love eating here, God I miss her- it so much." He muttered.

Her?

"You dance well!" I blurted out.

You dance well? You sound like a creep.

"I mean , I saw your group practicing earlier , it was nice." I explained.

He looked someone offended from what I said .

"Nice isn't what we're going for but thank you. After hours of dancing we weren't aiming for 'nice'." He snapped as he continued to eat his soup.

I took a sip of my coffee and began to pack up my papers. Leaving was probably a better idea right now.

"Well , um, it was nice to see you again, but I have to go. Enjoy your meal." I said quietly while I bowed. He noticed that I got up from my seat rather awkwardly and noticed that I was somewhat taken back from my comment .

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off as rude I'm just tired. " he admitted.

"Let me walk you home, at least." He gestured to bring his plate up to the cashier. I smiled waiting for him outside.

Looking through the glass , I saw him hug the cashier and laugh.

I wonder if they have a thing. Maybe that's 'her'.

I decided to check my phone as I waiting outside and checked to see 4 unread messages from a group chat .

He walked out finally as he kept a smile on his face. He took off his black SnapBack and ran this fingers through his blonde hair before he asked me if I was ready.

Holy shit , that was hot.

"Uh , I literally live two buildings down , there's no need to walk me haha. " I said as I pointed to my apartment building.

"If we walk slow, you can introduce yourself to me and you can eat this with me , it's my apology for being mean earlier." He said as he handed me a huge cookie.

"It's organic too." He added while giving me a thumbs up.

Smiling I took the cookie and broke it in half and handed him a piece.

"My name is Adriana." I said as I extended my hand towards his.
