VI

I felt tears building in my eyes so I ran out of the house. What was wrong with him?

As I got outside I noticed that it was raining. I couldn't go back so I began to run.

As the rain poured over my whole body, I felt how tears streamed down my face.

I only had a t-shirt on and I didn't know where to go, I was so cold. The rain only became stronger.

Why does it have to rain now? I felt like in a movie.

After a few minutes, I arrived at a bus stop. At least it was dry here.

I reached into my pocket and noticed that I forgot to take anything with me. My phone, my keys, money. There were only a few coins. Should be enough for a short bus ride.

I sat down and cried. I never heard something like this coming out of Jungkook's mouth. I felt bad, even though I did nothing wrong. Well, besides lying to him. It still didn't give him the reason to say those things to me.

A bus arrived and I got onto it. The money was enough for 4 stops. I sat down and took a deep breath. What am I even doing? It was so untypical for me to run away.

Maybe Jungkook was right. Maybe I did change. I closed my eyes. The bus made a stop and as some people got on, someone chose to sit next to me.

I couldn't bear to look, I was so embarrassed. After a few minutes, I decided to open my eyes and take a look at the person next to me.

It was a tall, handsome guy in nice clothes. Why didn't he chose to sit somewhere else? He noticed me looking and responded with a smile. I looked away immediately.

"Are you having a bad day?", he asked softly.

I didn't respond. I just couldn't get any words out now.

"You have to be cold."

He took off his jacket and gave it to me.

I looked at him, flattered.

"Thank you.", I said and put on the jacket.

It felt warm.

"There you go. Can you tell me your name, too?"

His smile was warm and calmed me.

"Jandi.", I said quietly.

"I'm Seokjin, nice to meet you."

I smiled.

"Oh, it's beautiful."

"Sorry?"

"Your smile. It fits you well."

I felt my face turning red.

Who was this guy?

"So do you want to tell me about your day?"

"I actually have to get off the next stop."

"I'll join you. Do you want to get coffee?"

"I-"

"Yes, you want."

The bus stopped and I got off with Seokjin. The rain has stopped.

"Follow me, I know a good place.", he said excitedly.

"Actually, I don't have any money with me now.", I said, remembering how I spend my last coins for the bus drive.

Seokjin smiled and shook his head.

"Since when do pretty girls like you have to pay for their own?", he said jokingly.

I blushed. We didn't have to walk long until we arrived at a cafe and sat down by a place at the window.
