"jinyoung..."
"oh, so you still remember my name, jaebum."
"listen, i-"
"there's nothing to explain, after all i don't even like you anymore, so whatever you want to say is useless."
"...then one cappuccino please."
the raven-haired went back to the counter as mark gave him a questioning look, seeing that he was quite angry.
"hey, something happened?"
"no, i'm okay, don't worry."
"it doesn't look so."
the blonde-haired took the younger's hand and squeezed it tightly into his own.
"you know, you can tell me."
the older looked gently in the other's eyes, waiting for him to speak when he noticed someone staring at them.
"i think that man is staring at us? do you know him?"
"...he's my ex boyfriend."
"what?!?"
"but i'm okay, really, just a bit angry."
"let me take care of his table, you stay here."
and with these words he started preparing the cappuccino the man had ordered and took it to him as he started observing the male.
he was around his age, dark hair, narrowed eyes and two little moles in the corner.
"you're jinyoung's new boyfriend, right?"
"and so? you don't deserve him anyway."
"i know that i was wrong but i didn't want to hurt him."
"wow so you think that cheating behind his back is actually better?"
"...i wanted to tell him but i didn't want to make him suffer and i also loved the other boy a lot so i couldn't stop seeing him-"
"please shut up, you think that like this he didn't suffer? knowing that his boyfriend cheated on him for all this time."
"i know and i'm really sorry for this...just please treat him well."
"for sure i'll treat him better than you."
"i'm glad...goodbye."
"goodbye."
the boy exited the coffee shop and mark went back to the raven-haired that was waiting for him.
"i saw that you were talking with jaebum."
"don't worry, it was nothing important."
"thank you."
the blonde-haired looked at jinyoung, a soft sad smile on his lips, on his face the look he had the first time they met.
the older felt his heart aching, he didn't want to see him like this.
"do you want to go out for a walk?"
"but you told me that you had to help jackson."
"that's okay, i'm sure that he has no problem with it."
"...then, yes, i'd really like to."
