Chapter 2 - Fate or Coincidence

{Kang Seulgi P.O.V.}

I took the box containing two batches of my own red velvet cupcakes, alongside with my books and went towards Park ahjussi who is currently waiting for me at the car.

I did not know what happened to me this morning- but I baked an extra batch of cupcakes to the extent I can even give Park ahjussi and his wife some, and also for me to bring some to school. It is rare for me to bring a lunch box- even when it only contains cupcakes- to school since that day.

Reaching the orphanage, I make sure no one sees me and I put the boxes on their doorstep. I know the kids will soon take it, since the first day I did this. To my surprise, there is a note on the welcome mat, and I think it is for me.

To the kind person giving red velvet cupcakes.

I know it is really for me, therefore I quickly shoved the note in my pocket and ran towards the car.

Eager to read the note- which is quite long actually- I read it in the car. To say I was touched is an understatement. The note is a thank you letter from the orphanage. Each and every kid in the orphanage has written down in the letter.

Blinking away the tears, I managed to see my school in just 100 metres away. I pecked Park ahjussi on his cheek, saying thank you and ran to the entrance- alongside with my lunch box and books.

I quickly shoved my books and lunch box into my locker and choose the books for my first lesson. I sighed when realizing it is actually Maths and English.

Having two teachers who hated you even though you are doing a great job in the subject- sigh. I did not understand why both teachers, or actually all of them- hated me, even when I top the class everytime only because I refused to participate in discussions and groupwork.

I did not want anybody to realize my existence in the school. Not even one person. I was doing a great job of blending in and being a wallflower until those teachers came and started to give their attention to me. I thought most of my classmates do not even know I existed- until the teachers changed that.

Well- being me, and my connections, of course- I managed to let the teachers remained silent and not do anything to me. My credits are already enough to let me graduate in peace and I am definitely not letting anyone being in my way this time.

Taking up the last seat available in the class- which is my seat for the whole semester, I am exceptionally feelng great when no one bothered to greet me. This is nice.

I waited patiently for the bell to ring as I am craving for my red velvet cupcakes and some butter chicken fingers from the school cafeteria. I already made my plans to rush to buy what I wanted and stay at the rooftop to enjoy my lunch.

As the bell rings, I quietly make my way to the cafeteria and not even take any glance to anyone. My plans are going well, and I smiled until I felt a hand grabbing my wrist.

I can immediately feel myself tensed up and my smile fell.

After the bell for the lunch break rings, I leisurely strolled to my locker to meet with the boys. I told them a bit about the cupcake girl in our group messages but they just laughed at me and told me I am being delusional.

This morning, I woke up early on purpose so that I can stalk that mystery cupcake girl and actually confirmed whether she is the one I have been noticing in school or I am actually being delusional as what the boys said.

I waited since 7 o'clock in the morning but I failed to see anyone coming out from the house. And when a car actually arrived in front of the house, it was actually an old man- who I assumed is either her butler or driver because of his outfit.

And then reality strucked me- I was late to school! I drove my car over the limit and quickly went to get a late slip. I could not afford any detention because then my parents will definitely flipped.

I shook my head and smiled when Jungkook shouted my name, bringing me back from my flashbacks. I waved back at him when I see him walking in my direction.

Suddenly, a wave of red velvet cupcake scent crossed my side and that is when I realized- a girl is walking beside me. And without me realizing, I grabbed her wrist tightly. Perhaps I was afraid of her getting away.

Taehyung who was standing next to me is startled with my actions too.

"Hyung, wae?" Taehyung asked, a hint of concern is heard in his voice. Or is it actually fear? Because the girl I was holding is actually glaring at me.

"I- I need to talk to you." I never stuttered before, and in front of a girl at that. But I guess this girl bring the worst in me.

Without waiting for her reply, I took her hand in mine and ran towards my car. Where we can have a private conversation without the boys disturbing or teasing us.

She managed to stop me when I realized she was panting hard that I could almost hear her. Then it strucked me- I was running too fast and her legs could not catch up with me.

"Sorry. I was not aware I was running too hard." I said apologetically. I was really sorry but her glare made me stopped saying more.

Kang Seulgi. I glanced at her nametag. I never heard of that name before. As one of the Bangtan boys, it was kind of ridiculous for us to overlook a pretty face like hers.

When she realized that I was actually looking at her nametag, her other hand unconciously covered it.

'Well, maybe she did not like others to know her name.' I thought to myself.

"Then stop looking at my nametag if you know I do not like it." Her voice were poisonous enough, someone could probably die from hearing it. But not me, of course. I am Jung Hoseok.

That is exactly when I realized I had been talking my thoughts out loud! I tend to do that when I get nervous or flustered.

'Okay here it goes, I am actually going to ask her about the scent.'

"Em- so Seulgi, are you the girl whom I met in the supermarket yesterday? The one I helped to reach for the cupcake mix?"

Ow shit shit shit! I am asking the wrong thing!

I was about to say something else when her eyes became bigger- and that confirmed my assumption.

She is really the girl with the red velvet cupcake scent.

In my mind, there is only one thing keep playing on reply- is this fate or a coincidence?
