fate | jumin

you've only met him once during a party but you fell in love with him. everyone had masks on so it was impossible to tell who it was.

but that didn't matter. there was something about this man that made you feel like you had butterflies in your stomach. from the way he talked, held your hand during the dance or maybe it was some mysterious aura about him.

"i just let him go like that, i literally just let my prince charming slip out of my own two hands! ugh, i didn't even ask for his number or anything ! " you expressed your frustration through the phone.

your friend had laughed at you and said that you were just over thinking.

you hastily hung up the phone when you noticed the time.

"shoot, i'm going to be late for work." you exclaimed, rushing out of the house.

you worked at a department store, c&r international. it was known for its high quality items.

you worked in a clothing store there.

"you're late ! " your manager exclaimed as you hurried herself into the store.

"there was a traffic jam, i'm terribly sorry ! " you half-lied.

you indeed got into a traffic jam but if you had decided to leave your house earlier, this wouldn't have happened.

"alright, hurry and get to work ! "
your manager shooed you to your position.

-

you came back from the restroom to see a few of your colleagues smiling widely at a man who dropped by the store, other staffs from other stores were all staring at him as well.

you found it strange how he was a customer, yet your co-workers didn't bother greeting him ? i mean he was hot and everything, but still.

you went ahead and greeted the man,
"good afternoon sir, how may i help you ? "

"your latest neckties please."

"ah. right here sir."

you directed the man to a section of the store which sold a variety of neckties.

"what colour would you like, sir ? "

"that purple one in its darkest tone."

"please wait while i look for it ! "

the guy walked off with 3 neckties of the same colour and design.

you laughed a little when he left.

he's cute but he probably has a girlfriend or boyfriend already.

-

your shift was over before you knew it and it was time for you to head home.

crossing the road was an everyday thing except today, you weren't looking out.

a truck driver was half drunk and driving towards you at an insanely fast speed, fear spread through your whole body and you stood there, paralysed, bracing for the impact.

"look out ! "

a figure pushed you onto the ground, injuring themselves in the process.

you had passed out from fear, not knowing where you lived, the unknown person brought you to his house.

you woke up, a little dazed. your wounds were tended to and you were in an unfamiliar place.

"you've woken up."

you looked at the familiar man staring down at you and it finally struck you,

he was the same guy who purchased the neckties from the store.

now everything was starting to make sense, this man was the one who saved you from the incoming truck.

"a-ah ! i'm sorry for being so rude. thank you for saving me, you bowed slightly before wincing in pain.

"no worries. just rest for now... i brought you back here since i didn't know where you lived. i'm jumin han, and you're?"

you proceeded to introduce yourself but still keeping any personal information to the bare minimum.

"do get plenty of rest and ask if you need anything. i shall get going now."

he walked out of the room, giving you some privacy.

jumin's elegant tone and posture reminded you a lot of the man from the party. he had black hair and a strong cologne smell as well.

looking around the room from your bed , your injury restricted your movements a lot. after all, your hands and legs were cut and bruised badly from the push, hitting sharp edges by the sidewalk.

you noticed a little black mask in the drawer next to your bed. it was awfully familiar.

"mask ... cologne ... hair ... posture ... !

jumin is the same man from the party ! "

just as you have realized this, jumin had walked in to check on you. worry evident on his face.

"i hope you don't mind but is it possible if we had a talk ? "

"of course ! it'll be rude to reject you after you saved my life ! "

jumin walked over to you, taking a seat next to your bed.

"you resembled a woman i saw at a party." jumin spat out.

"maybe because i am ? " you giggled.

"just as i thought." jumin smiled.

turns out, the both of you had left with a fond and unforgettable memory of each other.

it wasn't long before the both of you got comfy with each other like a couple, but not officially of course.

jumin would have to deal with the news reporters over simple things like this.

"i guess being rich has it's own problem huh ? "

"it sure does. how are you feeling ? "
jumin drove away from the topic, not wanting to dive any deeper into the problem.

"well, it has been a few days. i can walk now at least."

to show that you've healed, you got up and hopped a few times.

"gosh. i can't believe it. the way we met. it feels like... fate."

"i'm glad i met you. it is indeed fate. well, get some sleep, i'll bring you somewhere tomorrow."

jumin gave you a kiss on the forehead.

"aren't you going to sleep?" you said, yawning away.

"i'll wait till you sleep."

jumin held onto your hand, stroking it gently.

"goodnight, my love."
