You were waiting outside of your apartment, sitting against the concrete stairs. You patiently waited until you saw a black car park in front. You begin to feel your heart race as the guy that you were so in love with gets out with a box in his hands. You immediately stand up, fixing your glasses as you felt them slipping down your nose.

"Here's your stuff", he said, dropping the box in front of you, making you take a step back.

You see your phone charger and book drop out of the box. You look up at him, tears in your eyes. Not one single expression on his face as he turned away. Before getting back into the car, he turned his head, showing the side of his face.

You hoped he would say something but was wrong as you see him get into his car and drive away. You don't know why you were so upset.

You've known each other for years and started to get feelings over a year ago. You knew you had feelings for each other but never really addressed it until four months after. Both of you dated for eight months. Everything was great until you started college and got jobs.

As time passed, you made plans for dates but never really gotten to them due to your busy schedules. You slowly started drifting apart, becoming stressed as none of your plans worked out.

One night, you had gotten into an argument. You yelled and screamed at each other. Then the argument shifted into breaking up. You were hurt but had to accept the fact that you were no good for each other.

That brings you to the present. You watched as his car drove away. As soon as he was out of sight, you dropped your body onto the stairs and cried, kicking the box filled with your stuff.

*Two Years later*

You had finally finished college and were happy to go back to your apartment and not have to think about all the expenses you had to pay for your education. All you had to focus on was your job.

You were out, walking along the streets of your neighborhood, observing everyone. You always see the same people..like Mr. Morty who sells fruit and juice for those who don't live near the stores, and the guy, who's name you never caught, playing his guitar at the corner.

You could see the building where you work and had a few minutes to spare before your shift starts. You entered the store across from where you work and admired all of the candles. You always come in here and buy at least a candle or two.

"Looking for something new?"

A smile creeped up on your face as you heard the voice of the guy who works here. You met Junhyun a few weeks ago when he was first hired. He recommended a few candles to you and instantly got along with him.

"What do you have for me now?", you asked, picking up a white candle and sniffed the marvelous scent.

"Coconut? Did you barely get these?", you asked.

"Yep. Saved them especially for you. Take it. I'll pay for it", Junhyun said, propping his body against the counter.

"No. That's sweet of you but I can't do that. I get my paycheck today. I'll cash that in after I'm done working and come straight here", you said, sighing.

"I close up early today. Don't worry about it. I'll leave one behind so by the time you come back, there's one waiting for you", he said.

"Okay. I have to get going. I have two minutes", you said, walking towards the exit.

"Wait!...Uh...I was wondering if..maybe..I can take you out someday?", Junhyun chuckled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck.

You were a little surprised. You never thought Junhyun would have those types of feelings for you. Although you did find him attractive, you were afraid to open your heart to someone new.

"Junhyun..I'm flattered..but I don't think that would be a good idea. It's nothing personal. I just..I'm not ready for our friendship to turn into something more", you tried to sound reasonable so he wouldn't get upset.

"Oh..that's fine..I understand", he said, softly smiling but eyes frowning.

Your finger tapped against the cash register, sorting out the money that the customer handed to you. You were the only one working, watching the customers enjoy their drinks.

You turned around to clean a few of the mugs. As you did that, a customer entered. You didn't notice since You was so busy in your own thoughts.

"Excuse me, I'd like to order."

You froze with your hand in the mug as you recognized that voice. Your body slowly turned and met eyes across from you.

"(Y/n)?..is that you?"

"Hoseok...what are you doing here?", you asked, still stunned from his appearance.

"I could ask you the same thing", he said.

~~~~

Both of you sat on a booth, feeling awkward as your eyes met. He cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck.

"So how are you?", he asked.

"..I'm fine..just working..what about you?", you asked.

"Working too", he said.

Once again, both of you stayed silent. You haven't seen each other in two years yet you had no idea what to say.

"You have contacts now. You look great", he said.

"Thanks", you answered.

"Look, I know it's been a long time since we've seen each other. I want to apologize for the way I reacted to our break up. I should've handled it a bit better", he said.

"I want to apologize too", you said.

"Do you think we can start over? As friends?", he asked.

You'd never thought you'd hear those words. You would've expected him to just make small talk and walk away.

"Um..sure. I'd love too", your lips turned into a smile.

You'd missed him with all of your heart, despite all the arguments you two had.
You continued talking with him until your break was over. You'd promised each other that on your day off, you would go out and catch up.

You went to bed with a smile on your face, dreaming about what you two would do and what you would talk about.
