Thank You, Stranger. || Namjin ✓

7.

Seokjin woke up with a headache. He mumbled something unintelligible while moving bangs from his forehead. He was still sweaty from last night's dream.

He ate cereals for breakfast and drank organic orange juice he bought from the grocery store next to his apartment.

It was 11:02 am. He overslept again. That one pill made him dizzy. Instead of feeling rest, he was still feeling tired, maybe even more before he's fallen asleep.

While he was sitting on his couch and looking through the window, his phone started ringing. He was already holding the phone cuz he was on Instagram. It was Yunah.

"Jin, I'm standing in front of your building, unlock the door."
"O- ok.." - Seokjin said quietly and walked to the intercom and pressed the button.

He wasn't sure whether to tell Yunah what really happened or not. He was ashamed of his behavior and didn't want Yunah to give him love lessons, even though he needed them.

"Hi baby!" - Yunah shouted and squeezed Seokjin. She gave him a strong kiss on the cheek.
"Hi.." - Seokjin said half hearted.
"What's happened.", Yunah felt the negative energy in Seokjin's voice. He knew him too good," Date didn't go well, did it?"

Seokjin wasn't able to make up a story, so he decided to tell the truth.
"Yeah..", he sighed," Something happened.."
"Omg, he didn't hurt you, right? If he did, I'm gonna chop his balls off!" - Yunah said loudly, already getting mad.

"No, silly, it wasn't his fault. It actually was mine." - Seokjin put a disappointed look on his face.

They were still standing in front of the door, so Seokjin told Yunah to put her shoes off and sit on the couch. He sat on the chair and continued.

"It was all good in the beginning. He called me around half past eight and asked me to come in his café. And yeah, that café where he works is owned by his dad. I came inside, we sat down at the table, it was pretty romantic..." - Seokjin started describing the ambient in details as Yunah listened carefully.

"He poured me a glass of wine and.."
"Wow, my baby drank alcohol. You are a grown man now." - Yunah cut Seokjin's speech off and giggled.
"Yunah, seriously?"
"Ok, ok, I was just joking" - She put a serious look on her face and continued listening.

"After few more glasses, my brain started malfunctioning. It felt like I didn't have a control over my body and my emotions." - Seokjin said while concentrating.
"That's what getting drunk feels like." - Yunah gave him that kind of a smile parents give us when they teach us a lesson.

"Yeah,", Seokjin commented,"I knew I was drunk, but I just didn't care. I was lost looking at his eyes and suddenly dropped my glass on the floor. I shouted "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" and he wasn't even mad. He just grabbed a rag, got down on his knees and started cleaning. And then.." - Seokjin sighed.

"What? What happened then?" - Yunah was both concerned and curious.
"I... I put my hand on his chin and... and kissed him."

Yunah choked with air and started coughing. She was making some weird sounds like mama-dolphin's giving birth. "Oh my gosh, BabyJin, I-almost-died." - She said with a gigantic smile on her face.
Seokjin's cheeks got red.

"I can't believe you finally had a kiss after more than three years." - Yunah was squeezing her paws in excitement.

"I couldn't believe, too." - Seokjin put his head down. He was about to tell her the sad part of the story.
"Seconds later he gave me a kiss back. Actually tones of them. He even unbuttoned his shirt."

Yunah was rolling on the couch, dying from excitement. "Aaand.. what happened next, tell me, tell me!!" - Yunah widened her eyes.

"And then I... I ran away." - Seokjin felt his eyes were starting to get wet.
"You ran away?!" - Yunah raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah... I ran away. I pushed him away and ran out of the café." - Seokjin said with a shaky voice. "
"B- b- but why?" - Yunah was even more confused.

Seokjin started shaking as his tears were falling on the floor. Suddenly he jumped from the chair and embraced Yunah hard. She didn't have enough time to think, so she reflexively widened her arms. She embraced him while he was crying like a child.

"Seokjin, don't cry. I understand." - She was petting his head. Seokjin really was crushed. He wanted to tell her why he reacted that way, but words just couldn't come out of his mouth.

"You got scared, it was something new to you, something you haven't experienced before. Don't blame yourself..." - She kept comforting him until he calmed down.

She stood up and went to the kitchen to make a coffee for them. Seokjin was lying  on the couch, not saying a word. After she gave Seokjin his cup and took a sip from her own, they were hush for next twenty minutes.

              ¤¤¤

"You gotta text him." - Yunah broke the silence. Seokjin's head was on the pillow. He raised his head and looked at her. Yunah took her last sip of coffee and continued.

"Where is your phone?"
"It's in my room on the bed."
Yunah went to his room and took the phone.
"But what should I text him? I believe he doesn't even want to see me." - Seokjin complained.

"Don't talk nonsense!", Yunah scolded him,"He wouldn't have kissed you back if he didn't like you from the first time he saw you."
"I know, but... I ignored his calls and messages and..."
"It doesn't matter. You have to face your fears and problems for the better future."

Seokjin was looking at Yunah concerned as she was giving him his phone. He took it and started looking at the locked screen. He didn't know what to write.

"Just tell him you need to talk, ok? It's not that hard." - Yunah gave a comforting smile.
"O- ok." - Seokjin was nervous as his finger were typing the letters.

- We need to talk. I'm sorry. - 12:36 pm - sent -
Seokjin looked at Yunah and she winked at him. He was even more nervous as he was waiting for a message to come. After 7 minutes, the phone started vibrating.

- Ok. My shift is over at 5 pm, we can meet somewhere after that, unless you're scared of me." - 12:43 pm - seen -

Seokjin and Yunah both sighed in relief.
"I told ya! It wasn't that hard!" - Yunah said and hit Seokjin in the arm.
"Huh, thank god he replied."
"Ok, now just write down you're meeting him after his work and that's it."
"Ok."

- No, I'm not scared of you, but that's what I wanted to talk about. Half past 5 in front of your café? - 12:45 pm - sent -

The message came back immediately.

- Fine. See you then. - 12:45 pm - seen -

              ¤¤¤

Seokjin walked Yunah out cuz her shift starts at 2 pm.
"I'm very glad you came, you helped me a lot." - Seokjin said giving Yunah a cute smile.

"Oh baby, I'm always on you're service.", She smiled again and kissed him in the cheek, "Don't freak out when you meet him. Just be yourself as always."
"I will." - Seokjin gave a promise as he closed the door.
