Kihyun

"What do you like to do for fun?"

"Umm, work out...dance," he offers.

I nodded and look away trying to think about why am I even bothering to try to get to know him when this is not a real date.

"What about you?"

Before I could answer, Xiumin came to our table with our order and said, "Hope I did not interrupt at the wrong moment."

"Ah, no. You did not," Hyunwoo answers. Xiumin nods and then walks away after putting our order down on our table.

"I like to cook obviously and sing too," I said after drinking some of my coffee.

"Sing? Would I be able to hear you sing sometime?"

"Ummm..."

"I mean if you wanted to... err... you know what forget it," he says half heartedly and rubbed at his neck out of nervousness.

"Maybe I will." I laughed awkwardly after saying that. "Try the coffee and beignets that you ordered. The food here is great."

"Okay." For a few minutes, we just ate in silence.

He kept casting glances at me, but did not say anything. Feeling a bit annoyed, I just told him to just ask away since people usually talk a lot during this type of events.

"How did you and Hoseok met?"

My eyes widened slightly in response as I was not expecting for him to ask about Hoseok. "Well, Bu... I mean we went to the same high school. People kept picking on him because he is such a softy and not quote unquote manly in terms of personality. I did not like it so I told them to fuck off. "

"Was he that afraid of talking to girls back then too?"

"Well, it was because of the girls who were the ones who were making in front of him. One would think it would be the guys who would bully him but no. The girls at our school were pretty... 'intense,'" I said while frowning a bit at the recollection of how those bitches treated Bun Bun. Before I could say more, I held my tongue because I realized that I should not even be discussing Hoseok's past so freely.

"Wow, they must have been quite the trouble," he says careful before shutting his eyes at the realization of how stupid that was of him to say. Ignoring it, I cleared my throat for no real reason and drank some of my coffee.

Seconds later, he gives me a weird look and reached out toward my face. Surprised at the sudden movement, I promptly spat out my coffee showering his arm and part of his shirt with coffee and whip cream. He just looks down at his arm and his shirt blankly before looking at me again.

"Holy shit! I am so sorry. It...," I stuttered and grabbed a towel to wipe off the coffee from a cart near the counter. I started to wipe down his arm when he grabbed onto my hand and shook his head.

"It's fine. Things happen," he says with a (the cutest) smile before letting go of my hand. Blood rushed to my cheek out of embarrassment at this turn of event. Subconsciously, I brushed stray strands of hair behind my ear and laughed awkwardly. Great going, Kihyun. You just had to... How lovely.
