yawning from the lack of sleep, miyeon was seen this late morning at her local convenience store in some track shorts and a loose hoodie with her hair messily put up in a loose ponytail. she grabbed a small bottle of bacchus-f vitamin water off the refrigerated shelves and a samgak-gimbap for her breakfast since she decided she was too lazy to make herself breakfast that day.

        as she set her breakfast down at the cash register, she felt a slight tap on the shoulder. a scowl grew on her face when she recognized who tried to get her attention while the cashier scanned her items.

        "what's that frown for?" he asked. as in 'he', it was her ex-boyfriend who she never wanted to run into under any circumstances. "long time no see,"

        "will you be paying with cash or card?" the cashier asked interrupting her deathly glare.

        "card," she replied to the cashier as she handed her card and continued to her unwelcoming encounter, "what do you want, heonwoo?"

        "i'm getting snacks," he said holding up his hands filled with chips and a drink. "you changed a lot over the year,"

        after she payed for her things she quickly collected them before saying, "well, not so nice to meet you but i got to get going." as she hurried out of the store, she bumped into another man outside the door and dropped her just purchased meal.

        "oh, i'm so sorry. are you alright?" he asked as he picked up her dropped items.

        "it's okay, i'm fine. thanks for asking—" she thanked as she received her things, but cut her words when she recognized the man.

      "...miyeon?" it was jimin, and he recognized her as well. "what are you doing here this morning?" he was happy to finally greet her, and so was miyeon she didn't even notice her ex making his way out of the store as well, eyeing them.

        "hi, i just got lazy to make myself breakfast so i came to buy some food," she replied with a grin on her face. "what about you?"

        "i came to grab some food as well before practice. do you want to eat with me by the tables out here?" he asked, gesturing to the plastic chairs and table right outside the store.

        "sure, i'll be sitting out here" she accepted his invitation to breakfast.

        "alright i'll be right back with a bowl of ramen," he adjusted his cap before walking into the store.

        miyeon seated herself at the table and opened her bottle of vitamin water and gave it a chug. then jimin soon came out with a bowl of cup noodles in his hands and seated himself across miyeon. they chatted as they would over text as he waited a few minutes for his noodle.

        "how are you doing?" jimin asked to continue their conversation.

        "i'm doing good. i have nothing planned today so i guess i'll just go home to rest," respond as she took bites out from her gimbap. "what about you? when do you have to go back for practice?"

        "i have to be back at the studio by eleven. it's a fifteen minute walk from here. but, who was that earlier?"

        "oh don't mention it, he ruined my morning. he's my ex," she replied, rolling her eyes with just the though of him.

        "at least i made your morning a hundred times better," he rested his chin on his hands leaning in, flashing his famous eye smiles.

        "oh yeah, okay. whatever you say,"

        "hey!" he exclaimed, playfully slamming his arms down.

        "i'm kidding, i'm kidding," she put her arms up in defence.

they ate and finished their food as they chatted away like they do over messages the next few minutes before standing up to throw away their own trash.

"are you walking home?" jimin asked.

"yeah i'm going this way," she answered, pointing to the left direction down the street. "it's a ten minutes walk,"

"oh we're going the same direction. let's walk together then," he suggested, as he began walking.

"okie then," she followed.

the walk together quickly ended considering that both of them were close to their destination. "oh, i'm home now," miyeon pointed at the twenty-five floor apartment.

"you live very close to our studios," jimin said as they approached closer to the building. "i guess i'll talk to you more later. it was great meeting you again,"

"goodbye and have fun with practice," miyeon waved goodbye as she entered the apartment building and jimin continued walking.
