When it seems like things are really falling apart
We make sure they are just falling into place
With our love and hope we shall help you see
We shine brighter when the world becomes a darker place.

Jhope, Jimin and Sanjana decided to drive back to the cafe they had all first met in, just for the fun of an adventure."Here we are." she coos as she parks the car outside the old cafe. Jimin and Jhope jump out of the car and peek through the window. Sanjana shakes her head and opens the door, heading inside,"It's open you pabos." she jokes.They enter, the embarrassment warming their cheeks.

After ordering themselves something warm, they take a seat at the back of the cafe."Remember this spot?" Jimin asks with a sly grin. Sanjana rolls her eyes, "Yes, I tripped here."

"And I caught you." he finishes, with a cocky grin. Jhope walks past the two and sits on the stool."So many memories." he says feeling sentimental. Sanjana and Jimin smile and sat beside him as they recalled those good old times together.

Shrieks of laughter from the trio could be heard as time ticked and the sun set into the horizon while they made even more memories together. Coffee mugs dry and stained with milk, half eaten pastries and dirty spoons beside it as they chattered. Jhope excused himself as he made his way to the washroom, leaving the two troublemakers alone, together.

Jimin sneaked a glance every now and then and got caught by her,"What?!" She asks frustrated now, "Nothing." he says shrugging, but still glancing. Sanjana ignored him and stares outside as the raindrops stained and fogged the glass window."Let's play a game." he says and pulls out three paper cups in front of him.

"A game? Jimin-"

"This will be fun trust me." he says, placing different coloured candy balls underneath each cup. "Okay, here's the deal." He says,"Red candy means you go on a date with me. Yellow candy means I'm hired as your slave for a day and green candy means you can have my wallet for a day."

Sanjana leans forward,"Is this how you ask girls out?" She asks in disbelief. He laughs, throwing his head back and placing his hand over his mouth like he always did. "Well, I did try this method when I used to gamble, but for asking a girl out is definitely a first." He admits.

"Ahan, and how good was your luck?" Jimin smirks,"It never wavered. Won all the green paper, all for myself." Sanjana thinks about the game,"We will see about that." she says grinning. Jimin thins his eyes,"No backing away."

"Deal."

He nods and turns away,"Okay shuffle the cups." he instructs."No peeking." Jimin chuckles,"Don't have a pair of eyes at the back of my head Sanjana." She rolls her eyes, "Done." He turns around and places his elbow on the table, staring at the cups intently.
Sanjana looked at him, fingers crossed while she begged in her mind for him to choose the third cup, the yellow candy.
Jimin looks at her and back at the cup.
Jhope walks in and breaks the tension,"What's going on?" Both of them hushed him and Jhope placed a finger on his lips, staring at the cups intently even though he didn't have a clue about what the heck they were doing.

Jimin chews on his lower lip, "Alright, you took exactly 3 minutes to shuffle the cups and now it's a.. " he looks at the time,"It's 7:30 PM which means.." Sanjana stared at him slack-jawed,"Wait does that help you choose the red candy ball?", Jimin laughs,"Of Course not, I'm messing around."

Sanjana rolls her eyes, mentally wanting to face-palm at her stupid question. Jimin smirks,"How do you know I want the red candy?" He asks. Sanjana gives him a wan look,"Well, it's ..." Jhope and Jimin laugh. Sanjana smacks both of them finding it offensive,"Just choose a cup already!" She whines.

"Fine, fine" Jimin says in between laughter."I'll trust my luck and go with the.."
Jhope and Sanjana stare at him impatiently,"This one" he finished pointing at the middle cup.
Sanjana frowns and crosses her arm while Jhope pulls the cup upwards to reveal the candy,"RED!" He exclaims,"What does that mean?" He asks looking at the two. Jimin leaned back, a roguish and arrogant smile playing on his lips as Sanjana glowered. Jimin stretches and yawns, "Alright, tomorrow 7PM, I'll pick you up and wear something warm."

"Let's go guys it's getting late." he calls out as he walks out the cafe with a radiant and blissful smile. Jhope stared at the two, "Wait..Are you both finally..?" He leaves the question hanging, biting his lower lip to hold in his joy and looks at Sanjana, "No no NOOO! You cheated!" She whines running out the door after the realization that she will be going on a date with him hits her.

"Did not!"

"Did!"

"Did not!" He heard them bicker outside the cafe and sighed.

His gaze shifted to the grey sky. A lighting flashed across it followed by a thunder,"Storms coming." he pointed and watched the world suddenly get dark. Underneath the sullen sky stood these two, laughing and mocking the weather with their radiant and happy self, enjoying the drizzle. Jhope smiles and plugs his ear phone in,"Alright love birds, time to go".
