Thank You, Stranger. || Namjin ✓

9.

Seokjin called Yunah right after his and Namjoon's date and explained what happened detail by detail. One particular thing Seokjin's done made Yunah angry.

"But why did you pulled you hand back? You totally crushed that beautiful moment!"

Only Seokjin knew why he did so. He couldn't tell her the real reason.

"Well..", Seokjin gulped," I was very nervous and you know anything related to touches is not my thing.." - He tried not to seem very obvious when lying and this time he made it.

"I actually didn't know that.", Yunah said with a surprise in her voice,"But how can you be so touchy with me from time to time?"

"It's not the same, Yunah. You are my best friend and you're the only person to whom I can open my heart completely." - It was true. Seokjin wasn't even that close with his parents as he was with Yunah.

"Ugh..", Yunah sighed and continued,"I believe he's hurt now... I'd surely be if I were him." - Yunah said causing Seokjin to feel guilty.

"I think you should give him a chance, really." - Yunah tried to be helpful, but in fact she made Seokjin feel even more anxious.

It took Seokjin few seconds before he said something.
"We'll see what will happen in the future, but for now let it stay this way." - Seokjin said with a grief in his voice.

"Ok, your life - your choice, but I think you're at a loss.", even though Seokjin couldn't see her, he knew Yunah shrugged her shoulders and made that "Say what you want, but I'm the one who's right" face,"Anyways, good luck on your first day!"

Seokjin thanked her and soon after Yunah hung up and he was left alone on his bed thinking how he maybe made a wrong step with Namjoon.
That boy didn't deserve this kind of treatment. - Seokjin thought for himself.

He was watching dramas and eating popcorns before he put his pajamas on and went under the sheets. He was a little nervous because of his first day, but weariness made him fall asleep.

Seokji was washing his teeth while looking at his reflection in the mirror. He had eye bags because of unhealthy life he's been having recently. He ate very little. Some days he would oversleep and wake up with a headache, some days he couldn't get even a bit of sleep.

After he finished with bathroom, he went to his bedroom to change his clothes. He put on a simple blue jeans, white Supreme T-shirt and white Adidas sneakers. He didn't want to dress up too much cuz he knew he'd have to change his clothes again when he arrives at the café.

Seokjin went outside at 8:40 am because he didn't want to rush. He was walking slowly and mentally preparing himself for meeting Namjoon again. By that tempo, he was in front of the café at 8:52 am.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Namjoon mopping the floor.
"Good morning." - Seokjin said shyly. Namjoon turned around and saw Seokjin smiling to him.
"Good morning." - Namjoon set the mop against the wall and walked towards Jin.

Namjoon had a laid back attitude and getting touchy with people wasn't anything strange to him, but Seokjin was clearly different, especially after what he's been through.

Namjoon stood right in front of Seokjin. He was a bit taller that Seokjin, so Jin had to raise his head a little bit when he spoke to Namjoon.

"I'm glad to see you, Seokjin." - Namjoon smiled. He patted Seokjin on the shoulder and slightly squeezed it.
"Me too." - Seokjin felt anxious from the touch, but seeing Namjoon's eyes sparkling made him happy.
