JIMIN POV

"Well, hello."

My heart is beating faster as I hear his words. I shortly swallow and respond.
"H-hello..." My voice began to crack out of unsecurity. He probably noticed it.

His mouth suddenly opened again.

"Umm... Do I disturb you, while sitting here?" I begin to stare at him as he goes on. "It's okay, if so. I can easily leave this seat and ask for another one..."

My throat starts to dry out. The introverted part of me has been active currently, somehow it got hard to speak up. But since I needed to say something, I force a simple word out of my body.

"No."

His eyes widen as he hears my simple answer to his question. "Really?" He demands again, still kind of doubtful.

"No... I-i mean really! Y-you're not disturbing me, no..."

My cheeks begin to blush, because I felt embarrassed and I don't even know what for.

He nods and a soft smile comes up his face. "Oh, well then..."

I actually began to doubt that Taehyung is still going to come, so I let him sit with me.

At least I'm not alone anymore.

Suddenly, the strange boy starts to talk: "You can call me Namjoon. How's your name?" I swallow briefly and open my mouth.

"P-park Jimin, but Jimin is fine."

NAMJOON POV

After he told me his name, I shortly nod and go on. "It's nice to meet you." I keep on smiling, since I noticed that he has been kind of insecure and I didn't want him to feel worse.

Jimin shortly looks up to my face as he responds. "Oh, it's nice to meet you t-too... !" His voice has been cracking, but it didn't bother me.

I actually ask myself why he has been feeling so unsafe, but I didn't want to point it out and ask him directly so I ignore my question.

And in that moment, out of nowhere, Seokjin appears next to us, serving me my hot tea. "Thanks, Seokjin." The gentle man nods shortly. "You're welcome." Right after that, he leaves the table.

JIMIN POV

I watched Seokjin leaving back to the counter. Did he and Namjoon know each other well? As well as we knew each other? I think, I will ask him about that.

"Umm, Namjoon..."

He aprubtly looks at me with his eyes wide open out of curiosity. "What's it?"

I began to ask. "Are you close to Seokjin?" He opens his mouth after he understood, what I wanted to know. "Yeah, pretty close. We know each other for almost four years now."

I nod, while I gasp inside of my head. He actually knows him for a longer time than I do. I didn't expect him to be a regular. I've never noticed him before.

And so we got into a conversation about each other, kind of those in which you introduce yourself and stuff. I actually hate introductions, since most people don't even care about your name, age and hobbies, so why introducing?

But with Namjoon, it was different. He seemed to be a kind person, like Taehyung or Hoseok, the only persons I really trust. My insecurity disappeared while we kept on talking.

NAMJOON POV

Our conversation lasts almost an hour now and I notice, that Jimin has been feeling way better while talking than he did before. He has been speaking more open about himself and the whole atmosphere around us became really comfortable.

Suddenly he notificates, what I have been expecting.

"Well, Namjoon, I am going to leave now, because I need to be home in about twenty minutes." His lips were moving quickly, maybe because he has been in hurry now. "It's also 5:39 pm already, the shop will be closing soon too."

I sigh quietly. "You're right, I guess..."

I am giving Seokjin a short sign, so that he takes our empty cups of tea. He arrives at our table in about five seconds. Then I continue.

"Well, I enjoyed our conversation." A short laughter leaves my mouth, his cheeks start to blush again. "Maybe we meet again someday. I am almost every afternoon here..." I begin to smile.

JIMIN POV

I could feel how my face was turning red. He really liked hanging out with me? ... And I had thought that Tae and Hoseok have been the only two humans having fun being with me. I was wrong, I guess.

"Umm, y-yeah, it was nice..." My voice cracked out of embarrassment. "Anyways, I need to go now." I took my jacket and stand up.

He answers briefly. "Of course. Until next time!" He waves at me as if there had been a large distance between us both. I wave at him too.

"See you!" Lastly I give him a soft smile, whereupon I turn around and walk over to the counter, on which I say goodbye to Seokjin until I leave the tea shop.

As I had been outside of the shop, I could feel the burning evening sun on my skin. The weather changed enormously.

I began to make my way back home. In my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about Namjoon. He has been so kind and nice to me, although he seemed to be a though guy at the same time. Would such people hang out with me and even enjoy it?

But well, he's a regular of Seokjin's tea shop, just as me, he plays various instruments and he has two little sisters. That doesn't make up to me.

Anyways, I think I enjoyed his presence too and it was nice to hang out with him.

I wouldn't mind meeting him sometime again.
