'Can we meet ?'

A long pause greeted Taehyung from the other end of the phone. He instantly questioned whether or not he was was doing the right thing. No point on regretting now since it was already said and done.

After a pregnant silence, the receiver of the sudden call finally answered, 'Sure. Where ?'

Taehyung didn't even notice he was holding his breath until he heard the answer he had hoped for. He suggested a cafe near a mall in the heart of the city, an easy landmark. After ending the call, his car skidded to a corner, heading towards the promised meeting place.

Throughout the car ride, he had many thoughts in his mind but all of it revolved around one person, which was no surprise to him since lately, the only thing on his mind was nothing else other than her, Kang Hana.

He had come to terms with this feelings he had for her. Although he still wasn't sure what it really was, he knew he had feelings for her. Romantic feelings for her. He cringed and laughed to himself when he thought of how Hana would've cringed too, if she had heard it.

Whatever it was, he had learned to accept it instead of denying its existence for much longer. He can't fool himself anymore; blaming his supposedly weak heart everytime it beats too fast when he was around her or when it constricted in jealously at her interactions with other guys. He's fooling no one.

It wouldn't do him much good anyway. Staying a distant from her didn't do him much good. Not talking to her when she's around didn't do him any good either.

Whatever it was, he needs to solve this problem. He needs to solve it fast and soon before Monday. It's Wednesday. There's still a few days to go but he felt like he didn't have enough time.

Not enough time to get his feelings checked. Not enough time to figure out how deep exactly was her feelings for her. Not enough time to think this thoroughly. Not enough time to think if this really was worth it.

Was it worth his friendship with her ? Was it worth getting things awkward between them ? Was it worth the possibility of her avoiding him ?

He needed time to sort it all out. Sort his heart, his mind, his feelings. He doesn't want to rush into things that he wasn't familiar with. This whole thing was new to him.

It was still foreign to him; the whole needs to see her smile and listen to her laughter and fiddling her delicate fingers and playing with her soft locks. It's all foreign to him. This attachments to people and the constant need to be by their side, it's all alien to Kim Taehyung.

And there was what Soojung had said to him earlier. How Hana thought she was too flawed and too messed up for him. It went beyond his comprehension how she could thought so.

His thoughts was interrupted by the advertising billboard signs indicating that he was closer to the mall now. He drove around, finding an empty spot to park his car. When he found one near the cafe, he placed his black Audi before entering the air conditioned cafe.

His eyes made a quick scanned through the shop, with a specific person in mind. When he couldn't find it, he stole a glance at his watch. Maybe that person hasn't gotten here yet.

Taehyung decided to order a drink since his throat was running dry due to his nervousness about the encounter. He knew how important this meet up was going to be.

Hoping that the familiar sweetness of his caramel machiato could ease his anxiety, Taehyung took a sip. His eyes roamed for a sit when he noticed someone raised his hand at him.

Ah.

No wonder he didn't notice the person before, he was looking for a table that was occupied by one person. The table he was looking at has two.
