"Can I have a large coffee." I gave my order to the woman at the counter and went to sit down in my usual spot near the window. We had been in Seoul now for about 3 weeks, and I already got an apartment for me and the boys. I'm still working on moving my company over, but I'm sure in time I'll make it work.

The lady came and gave me my drink minutes later, the taste makes me want a sweet to go with it. Eyeing the blueberry tarts, I walked back up to the counter which now had a small line.

Patiently waiting until I became next in line. There was only one person ahead of me, a man with four boys next to him. They were each picking something small off the menu, obviously trying to stay within a budget. Me being me, after the family finished ordering, I stepped up and paid for there order along with mine. I ignored the protests coming from every one of them except the youngest, who couldn't be more than six and continued the payment.

"Thank you so much!" The boy with silverish hair thanked and bowed. "It's no problem." I smiled back. It really wasn't, money wasn't something I had to worry about, and I always hated thinking that, I have money, when other people don't.

After I got my treat, I went back to my seat and stared out the window. Bringing me from my thoughts, the man whose food I paid for was hovering over the booth, trying to get my attention.

"Oh hi." I smiled, taking a sip of my coffee. "Hello. Please, let me pay you back." He insisted, sitting down across from me. The man reached into his pocket and took out a wallet, which I immidetly responded by closing the wallet with my hands and push it to his chest.

"I can't except. I'm happy to do it." I smiled. "I'm Namjoon by the way." I put out my hand, waiting for him to shake it. He did, and introduced himself as Kim Seokjin.

Seeing as I was new-ish to this town, and I could tell by the way he didn't quite know what he was doing here, that he was too, I decided that there was something he could do in return.

"You know what.. there is something I would like in return," I said after a moment of silence. "Of course, I'll do anything," Seokjin said. "I'm pretty new to Seoul, and don't know many people here. I even have two sons, so maybe our family's could hang out sometime. I mean, I know my sons would love to know people their ages around here, and so would I." I suggested, laughing a bit.

His face lit up immidetly. "Oh for sure! I just moved here myself, and my sons would be more than happy to have some friends. I also wouldn't mind." His giggle brought a big grin to my face, and I knew I met someone special...
