十, lemon meringues

"excuse me? may i ask who you guys are talking about?"

june mustered her courage and asked the girls.

they looked up to her, and she got another glimpse of the music video coming from the phone set at the middle of their little circle.

"it's nct u," a blonde hair girl explained.

"they debuted yesterday with the song the 7th sense, and all my friends are fangirling over taeyong right now."

"look," she moved the phone closer to june, displaying a taeyong dancing with hair white like a lemon meringue.

"he's the main rapper, main dancer. main pretty much every-

"and would you just look at that visual, stunning right?"

june fell silent, completely surprised over the sudden news. it was as if suddenly all the times she's met him before were just a dream. as if two weeks ago, taeyong didn't dj in front of her eyes and congratulated her on the broadcast at a party.

as if she's never got to known him at all.

"wow." june whispered, eyes glued to the guy who overflew with charisma.

"i know right," another girl added.

"what did you say the group is?"

"nct u, under sm entertainment."

"sm... wait." her heart skipped a beat.

"are there any other members? maybe one with the name johnny?" june loudly questioned, palms pressed firmly into the coffee table.

"um... no? maybe you got someone else mixed up?" the blonde girl reply.

"johnny? isn't there a rookie named johnny?," said one with hazel colored eyes.

"oh yea! that was like last year wasn't it?"

"ahhh be there or be square."

"i remember that!"

the youngers threw themselves into another heated conversation over the boys.

june's heart sank.

and it all made sense:

johnny didn't make the cut. he watched his friends debut before him.

"thanks girls!" june bid her goodbye.

she pushed all her belongings that scattered across the tiny table into her bag. she gulped down her expresso, making her face scrunched in bitterness. and took the largest bite she could with her cheesecake.

placing the bill on the empty cashier, she left a scribbly note:

thank you :) will be sure to finish the cake next time.

then she ran out of the coffee shop, highlighters having a little dance in her tote bag. she ran with her mouth full of cheesecake, with biscuit crumbs falling down occasionally. for a moment she thought she would choke on the dessert.

but up the apartment stairs she sprinted, she swung open her heavy door and threw her bag aside. she grabbed a grey plastic bag, and stood before her fridge. she chucked in every ingredients she had and left her apartment studio with her door wide open.

then june knocked on johnny's door, with purely one thought hoping that he would open it.

a/n: sorry this was a bit rushed but yeee. i want to go to a cafe.

rest well//

wei out :)
