Warm Hearts

"You deserve everything and more."

[JISOO X JINYOUNG]

Jisoo would always watch that guy. He was handsome, he can effortlessly get your attention. He worked in the same place as Jisoo, making it easier for the lass to observe the said guy who makes her heart jump. She knows when's the time she'll come out of his own working cubicle, she knows when he'll eat his lunch, heck, she even knows the usual time he logs out and go home. It can be observed as creepy, but Jisoo didn't think of it like that. It just happens that they work in the same place where it is possible to see him more often than usual.

Jisoo was lovestruck. She loves how he'll smile and how his eyes would nearly disappear when he laughs, then he'll cover almost his whole face because he's embarrassed. She loves how he's very passionate in everything he does. She fell in love with the man whom she didn't know the name but it really didn't matter to her. She knew everything will come in the right time.

But soon enough, the bright man she knew, disappeared.

He was no longer smiling often. But instead, a frown was always sketched on his face. Jisoo missed his smile.

Jisoo wondered, what happened?

She knew she had no right to pry into people's business no matter how bad she wanted to know something. And she also knew that gossiping is not an option either. She badly wanted to know the reason behind that frown.

━━━━ ✧ ━━━━

It was Friday, the wind was strong and cold. Jisoo cursed herself for not bringing a jacket and wearing thicker clothes than usual. She thought she's going to freeze to death.

Jisoo started out her day normal, she started to work immediately the moment she came to work. She was also hoping to see the man today and maybe, just maybe, befriend him or something along those lines.

Jisoo saw him enter his cubicle, his hair was messy and bags were under those dull eyes. He looked like a mess.

He looked tired.

Jisoo felt her heart clenched at the sight. What happened?

━━━━ ✧ ━━━━

Their break time came, Jisoo saw him heading to the rooftop of thr building. Both curious and worried she decided to follow him secretly to know what he'll be doing.

Jisoo's heart was thumping inside her chest like crazy. She was so nervous. What if he found out? Would he hate her?

He took the long stairs up to the rooftop with Jisoo slowly trailing behind him trying not to get noticed.

After a few painful minutes, both reached the rooftop. Jisoo hid behind a wide pole praying to the heavens that they both won't get sick because of the bad weather.

He just stood there. Motionless. She was unsure of what's running inside his head. She badly wanted to know.

They were both lost in thought when a ring interrupted their train of thoughts. For a moment, Jisoo panicked, she thought she had been caught but it was his phone that rang.
