Midnight Love

First Talk

   As soon as your eyes met, time seemed to have stopped. Nothing else existed, just you two looking at each other. Neither looking away.. Somewhere in the back of your mind you wondered if this was your magical moment. But the so called magical moment was broken by a small cough nearby. You both looked away out of embarassment, suddenly aware of where you were. You were pretty sure your cheeks were red and your heart was beating fast. A quick glance let you know that the beautiful stranger wasn't faring well either. You looked at your cake trying to concentrate on it and willing the heat in your cheeks away. Suddenly the cake didn't seem like the most important thing right now.
   You were so busy intimidating the cake that you failed to notice the sound of a chair moving. By the time you were done scaring the poor piece of cake, there was someone already seating in front of you with the same food as you. You were startled for a second, but knowing who it was, you decided to be brave. Looking up, you were greeted with the most beautiful smile you have ever seen. (Even his smile was beautiful, God bless your poor heart..) It was a boxy smile and really contagious as you felt yourself smiling back.
   "Hi", he said. You were startled by the deep voice. "Hi", you replied, not knowing where this was going. You were curious about what he will say next. You thought, maybe he will ask questions about you, your name, etc. You prepared yourself mentally so as not to make a fool in front of him. But when he opens his mouth a second time, the first thing that comes out of his mouth is, "Are you a cat or a dog person?" "What?" was all you could say. He repeated the question for you. You expected a lot of things he could say or ask but certainly not this. He was still waiting for your answer though, still smiling at you. You decide to answer him, "I am more of a dog person.." He pretended to think for a moment, "Hmm.. I could swear you looked like a cat person.." You had no idea what to say to that, so you just kept looking at him. Undeterred, he went ahead and started eating his food. That reminded you of your own. You took a bite but instead of enjoying the flavour of chocolate, your thoughts were filled with the person sitting in front of you. Whose name you still don't know, by the way. Guess it was your time to ask a question. Catching his eye, you asked him, "what's your name?" He gave you one of his beautiful smiles (seriously, your heart..) and replied,
   "Kim Taehyung.."
