SEOULMATES [KNJ] ✓

Today is a lovely day to say the least. A gentle breeze blows, bringing refreshment as the warm sun beams down on the city, greeting the people with its bright light.

With a happy sigh, my hand grips the metal handle and pushes it open to reveal my favorite place.

"Morning Sehun." I greet with a smile as I step into the coffee shop, accompanied by the jingle of the bells on the the glass door.

Said boy looks up from the table he was cleaning with a smile. "Morning." He greets back, then placing the towel he was using on the side, he takes out his notebook. "Will you be taking your usual?" He asks slightly raising a brow.

"Yes please." I say and he nods.

"It'll be out in a bit."

After that first encounter with the coffee shop, I found myself coming here more and more often, even becoming more acquainted with the owner's son Sehun.

"Here you go." Sehun says handing me the drinks. "Say hi to Rose for me."

"You got it." I say grabbing the drinks and giving him a small wave before I exit the shop and start making my way to Rose's apartment.

☁️☁️☁️

Rose squeals and immediately lets me in almost as soon as I knock on her door.

"I'm so glad you came early!" She says pulling me in, but careful enough so I don't spill our drinks. "And you even brought my favorite!" She says taking her cup from my hands, making me let out a chuckle.

The sight in her living room makes my heart warm up as I take in the small details she arranged for today. Rose placed several blankets and pillows on her grey couch making some sort of comfortable fort, and our favorite snacks lay on the table, an arm stretch away.

"Do you want some popcorn?" Rose asks looking up from her phone and putting a strand of hair behind her ear, and I give her a big nod.

"I'm always up for popcorn."

Rose smiles and places her phone on her table, forgetting to turn it off as she walks away.

While she prepares the popcorn, I read over the list of movie suggestions that we both made, placing a check mark next to ones I'm interested in.

As my eyes scan the last movie, Rose's phone rings loudly blasting her favorite tune.

"Can you check who it is?" Rose yells.

"Sure." I shout back, my eyes scanning the ID. "Um...it's an unknown number."

"Okay then."

As I press the cancel symbol, a picture on her Instagram feed catches my eye. It's a Korean guy, which I'm guessing is one of Rose's friends, but he's not the one I'm concerned about.

"Rose." I call out with a frown and her head pops from the kitchen. "Who's this?" I ask and she squints her eyes as she walks closer to the phone, taking it in her hands.

"That's my friend Hoseok." She says with a smile. "I met him when I studied that semester abroad in Korea."

I let out a small hum and nod.
