SEOULMATES [KNJ] ✓

My eyes scan the simple sentence again and I let out the breath I was holding as Sehun waves a hand in front of my face, bringing me back to my senses. With a small shake of my head I look at him.

"Are you okay?" He asks and I nod, taking in a deep breath to make up for the missing oxygen in my lungs.

"I'm fine Sehun." I say with a small smile. "Thank you for delivering the note."

"No problem." He says giving me a thumbs up. "I'll catch you later, gotta get back to work."

I slightly glance at him as he walks away, my hands still holding on to the unfolded note in my hand, then when he is out of sight, I blankly stare at the note that he handed me groaning in frustration.

Let's meet.

I read once again, my lips mouthing the words. As if saying them out loud would confirm that this is really happening.

How are we supposed to meet? Why does it feel like I just lost my chance and won't see him again?

As I place the note down, I see something else written in the corner, and unfolding the paper further, I slightly raise my brows in surprise.

I'm sorry I couldn't make it to our appointment. Something unexpected came up back at home and I had to leave.

Let's meet.

You know where to find me.

A small spark ignites in my heart at the possibility of actually meeting him for real this time, until realization dawns on me.

Wait a second. He can't possibly mean....

Drops fall and land on the pavement little by little, until the whole ground is covered in rain drops, rain heavily pouring as I return to Rose's apartment for the second time in a day.

I should probably move in with her since I visit her so often. I think to myself slightly rolling my eyes and forcing my legs to go faster.

Water splashes everywhere as my feet contact the wet streets, and even though the sky is gray, it couldn't be a better day.

To my surprise, as I approach Rose's floor, I see her figure sitting outside her apartment, almost as if she knew I would be coming back, and as soon as she sees me she ushers me inside and hands me a towel.

"So? How did it go?" She asks patting the spot next to her on the sofa.

"Well, I didn't get to meet him." I say and Rose frowns. "I know," I say noticing her reaction, "but he left a note behind saying that he wants to meet." I add looking at Rose, whose face brightens up in a split second.

"Omg yes!" She says, smiling with her perfect white teeth. "That's great!"

"However...."

"However?" Rose questions, the bright glow around her fading a little as she sits back down.

"I need your help with something." I say looking at her and her brows rise in surprise.
