Jimin had gotten out of Calculus. He felt hungry and tired, so he decided to get some coffee. His oversized sweater caused him to have sweater paws and his pink hair was looking fluffier than usual. He entered the small shop and the scent of coffee welcomed him.

Neptune was on her way to the library when she saw the small coffee shop. Her mind drifted to the muffin she ate last time and she immediately got hungry. She decided that getting a coffee wouldn't hurt, so into the shop she went.

Neptune's eyes drifted towards the pink haired boy and she smiled. She payed for her coffee and went towards his table.

"Hello!" Neptune exclaimed excitedly and took a seat across from him.

"Uh, hi." Park Jimin answered awkwardly. He took a sip of coffee and looked back at her.

"I thought I'd wait for my coffee here," Neptune said with her gorgeous smile.

"Okay," Jimin answered, not really knowing how to respond.

They sat in silence. Jimin was looking at her and she was looking around the coffee shop. Jimin never thought that the girl he was completely and utterly in love with was ever gonna notice him. Now that she had, he had no idea how to respond.

His answers were short when she asked him something, his palms got sweaty and he could barely maintain eye contact. He was just in shock every time she talked to him.

"Neptune?" The barista called out. Neptune quickly got up from the chair and grabbed her cup of coffee and her muffin. When she passed by Jimin's table, she waved goodbye to him and Jimin smiled at her. She exited the coffee shop and Jimin let out a sigh of relief.

Jimin didn't know why he was like that. All this time spent on admiring the beautiful blonde for him to be too shocked to speak to her. He was frustrated with himself. His phone chimed, due to his roommate sending him a message.

Taehyung: Jiminie, can you buy some milk for us?? We're running out.

Jimin: Yeah, sure.

Jimin sighed once again and stood up, putting the empty cup in the trash bin. He walked to the supermarket next to the campus and bought some milk. When he returned to his dorm, he was greeted by his roommate playing video games.

"I bought the milk." Jimin said, placing the milk in the fridge.

"Awesome, thanks." Taehyung said, too focused on the game to care.

Jimin walked to his bedroom, only to find his books all over the floor.

"Did you mess up all my books?" Jimin said annoyed. He tried not to show it by smiling.

"Yeah, sorry. I was looking for a text book, but I didn't know where it was." Taehyung said casually, making Jimin sigh in frustration.

"I'm gonna go," Jimin said, realizing it was time to watch Neptune.

"Where do you go at this hour every day?" Taehyung asked, not expecting an answer.

"Somewhere very important," Jimin said, closing the door.

There he was again, staring at the girl. She had on a pink dress and white sneakers. Her hair was in a french braid and her eyes sparkled in the moonlight. He smiled as he saw her look up at the stars.

"Orion, I'm gonna rant." Neptune said, talking to her favorite constellation. "I hate when people think I'm weak because I'm a girl or when people say I act like a child. I mean the second one is true but, I don't know. I get upset."

Park Jimin was angry that people said those things, but sad because she felt that way. He wished he could go to her and tell her that she's perfect the way she is, but he just couldn't. He couldn't risk it. He looked at her, thinking of all the things he'd love to say to her if he wasn't so shy.

Neptune stood up, waved to her favorite constellation and left, disappointed once again.
