As I walked through the pavement to reach the convenient store around the corner of the road, I see OhJin looking carefully at the racks of perfume. I stealthily stand behind her back trying to figure out what she was up to.
"Peach or strawberry?" she points at the two bottles stacked on the shelf with thoughtful expression.
" I think strawberry suits you better" I comment to help her.
"Ahh! You scared me!" she turns to look at me with shock and surprise.
"You looked confused. But what is with this sudden perfume purchase and stuff?" she was out on a morning walk, so unlike her and now she was standing at a nearby store looking for fruity scents.
" The beginning should always be with smelling nice" she answered while passing the strawberry mist to the billing counter. "Well, what is your motive of visit?" she raised her brows in question.
"I thought of getting a lip tint, but now I am not sure..........." before I could finish that, I was being dragged towards the cosmetic section.
After half an hour of trying and applying shades , we were finally out on our way back home.
" Were you awake till late last night? I came downstairs to refill my water bottle and I think I saw Taehyung coming out of your room. Were you two playing?"
"I am not sure, I slept early last night. And his room is the one beside mine, we even share a common wall. Maybe you saw him leaving his room and mistook it to be mine. I don't recall visiting him while I was awake"
I wondered if the silhouette of the person that I dreamt about was reality. It felt so vivid. The only confusion i felt was the peck on my forehead. Was that real; did he really come into my room? I blushed at the thought.
" I know how you feel about him, Ji euna. It is just that I am not confident about him feeling the same. The least i would want would be you getting hurt. " I knew how much Oh jin cared for me and I trusted her instincts. Even I wanted a stable and honest relationship. This was definitely not the time to be caught up in flings that would cause a distraction to my career and Tae was a puzzle that I could never solve easily.
AT THE BUS STOP
A lovely retro song was playing nearby. Maybe the old couple that owned the dumpling restaurant across the street were cherishing their early memories of youth.
The road is almost at a standstill. It's peak time for commuters. A bus inches along the road. It was full of travellers. I make my way inside meanwhile pressing the transportation card against the scanner.
A young schoolgirl sat at the front of the top deck. Her feet rest by the window, her legs bent. She had earphones in. I move to the empty spot beside her. The bus lurches and I lose my balance falling back, only to be stopped by a stranger's torso. I slightly turn my head to mumble an apology for literally falling into his arms. The masked stranger nods his head in acknowledgement.
The schoolgirl presses the bell to get down and I occupy the vacant seat. I look outside the window trying to remember the landmarks through the way. After a while my eyes started feeling droopy.
I look down at the my cell phone, scrolling through the pictures. It showed the pictures of Jimin ,Tae, Oh jin and mine. I recalled talking them during my birthday party, while SeokJin oppa was suggesting us various poses. Some funny while some silly but all those were happy moments.
My phone blinks up with a notification of new message. I open the inbox to read a message sent by Taehyung. It was not likely of him to text me. The message read, "You need to get down at the next stop, don't fall asleep and look up from your phone"
