      he had a million thoughts running through his mind for the rest of the night. an endless train of thought that all revolved around her, ahn sowon. he wanted to believe that he was mistaken, but no one could have the same name as her, no one could be sarah ahn, no one can look like her.

      sarah, no, sowon, has always had this cold beauty to her that seemed untouchable, almost fragile if possible. and for as long as he could remember that was always the image chan had of sowon, that she's this person far out of his reach.

      but seeing her at the dream bean tonight made him doubt his views of her. maybe she really wasn't the girl he was thinking of, maybe she's just coincidentally similar to his old school bully, who knows. because sowon is so laid back, so carefree as she playfully bumped hips with yejin whilst walking back and forth from the back to the front.  there was also the way she'd tease jisung on his odd lyric choices, and how motherly she was when she kept on offering them free refills of their drinks and plates of assorted pastries, all on the house.

      the two were in the living room playing around with felix and seungmin who were competing in some video game that chan didn't understand. still, perhaps it was because he had sowon on his mind that he couldn't focus. jisung sat next to him watching the two younger members play, his reaction strong and interactive as he engaged in their antics.

      "about sowon, how did you meet her?" chan started casually. the last thing he wanted was go jisung to get the wrong idea, and knowing his friend it was bound to happen. but talking about her felt like he had committed a grave crime, especially since he knows of everything she had done back when they were in school together.

      jisung didn't even bother to look up, his eyes focused on the tv screen in front of him. "the café, duh. plus i see a lot of her artwork on my social media, a lot of people go there so they can see the new mural she paints. and then i met yejin. why do you ask?"

      "oh, it's nothing. you guys seem close, that's all." the way jisung acted around her, how carefree and happy he was made chan question whether or not sowon was putting on an act. because it was hard for his mind to wrap around the fact that the girl who was singing show tunes and making matcha lattes is also the same girl who once cut mary amagawa's hair because she said it looked like a bird's nest.

      and being in that café, seeing sowon in this new light made chan question a lot about his perspective on sarah ahn. maybe they're not related, maybe they're two completely different individuals. because there's no way someone can change that drastically, especially when that person was once a spawn of the devil.
