You sigh. You’ve been staying inside your house for almost the rest of the day. You are really missing someone, your brother, Sungmin.
You and Sungmin are siblings. You have him as your brother and you were very close with each other. You sleep in the same room, not minding your genders. He sleeps on a separate mattress and you’re on the other.
He’s far from home. He’s in a leave. Perhaps, a month or probably a year before he could get home. He is a police and was destined at Incheon and you were at Seoul. That’s a distant long.
You pout as you press your back against the couch to be more comfortable, but you feel otherwise. You feel loner when you stay just inside your house so you decided to have a walk outside and have sightseeing, too.
You don’t have any friends to go along with. You reach for your coat and pass through the door.
As you set a foot outside you can feel the cold hugging you. You rub your palms against each other to warm them.
You were staring down the street and trailing the lanes painted on the road. You can’t do anything interesting right now. You really feel sick and reluctant.
A pair of hands pat your shoulder, you startled as you hear laughs behind you. You turn back to see who’s crazy did that.
Your jaw almost touches the floor when you find out who it is. He has the prettiest face you had seen. His laugh almost sounds like music to your ears. He has the eyes that every woman will get stunned if they will stare at them. In short he is very attractive. You forgot about what he did.
“Do I know you?” you say. You sound like narrating not asking. “I mean you are familiar. Who are you?”
“Really? You don’t know me? I’m sorry” he bows politely. “I thought you are my friend that I suppose to meet up with today. But I think I got the wrong one” he says. Bowing like he feels very sorry.
“Ah. It’s ok” you reply.
“Are you alone, too?” he asks, gesturing like he’s finding someone around you.
“Obviously yes” you face palm. He didn’t see that. He is childish and you notice that as soon as he looks weird.
You realized that you are talking to a stranger. You don’t know his name. You should ask for it.
“Can I know your name?” you ask politely. He extends his hand aiming for a shake hands. “I am … nice to meet you.” your forehead crumples after knowing his name that your ears refuse to hear. It’s because of a big bus that passed as he speaks his identity.
“Pardon?” you want to hear his name once again. But before he could say anything, a man interrupted.
“Min - ge. We’re ready for takeoff. You should be.”
“One moment” he excuses and let the man left the two of you.
“I think I have to go. Nice meeting you, anyway. I really had a nice hang out with you even in a short time. I hope this accident meet up follows again” he smiles broadly. He’s so cute. You can melt anytime despite of the cold weather. You certainly won’t forget him and his smile.
“I hope, too” you bid him goodbye as he made his way following the man before him.
Months paced very fast, you are really eager to see your brother Sungmin. You haven’t received any messages or calls from him in the past several months.
Something crossed your mind. It is sunny Monday. And the environment is refreshing. You feel energize by the sunshine and in the mood to go on a walk. The birds are chirping and singing sweet tweet along with the soft wind that gently touches your skin.
You remember the guy you met months ago. He’s been in your mind right after meeting him and you’ve been struggling to forget about him. You think that he is not just the normal guy who easy to meet, he’s like an important person that everybody needs.
You poke your head out of frustration. “What’s his name again?” you ask yourself. “Oh. I didn’t hear it” you frown. It’s nonsense. You are so disappointed.
Your phone rings. You reach for it and there registered an unknown digits. Who might this be? You think that this might be your brother that was calling. So you are hurry in answering it.
“Yeobosaeyo?” you started. “Uh… hello there” a man’s voice rises up. You feel a bit disappointed. He is not probably your brother. The caller has a deep husky voice but you can sense that he could be a good singer, just a guess.
“Who’s speaking?” you try to be nice. You’re thinking that this might be a relative trying to reach you, but you can’t voice him out.
“I think you completely forgotten about me. I was the guy you met months ago” your eyes widen. You briefly wonder to whom he gets your number, but that isn’t important at the moment.
“Re…really?” you ask stammer. Your chest starts to feel weird when you finally know who it was.
“Can we meet again? I have something to tell.” He cheerfully says. He seems so excited about the idea of meeting you.

He brought you to a café. He pulls out a chair for you, he’s such a gentleman. He is smiling the whole time you’ve been together.
“I thought I would never see you again” you say. He chuckles.
“I thought, too” he rubs the back of his neck. “Since we’re here, Can I know your name? I didn’t hear your name the last time I asked” you hesitate to ask him because it sounded so desperate for others.
“My name is Xiumin. What’s yours?”
“I’m ____. Nice to meet you Kim Minseok” you say rather than the name he introduced to you. Now you know him, you have seen some of his article online and read about some facts.
He smiles in a friendly way. “Mannaseo Bangapseumnida” he says in their language. You clearly understand that. It simply says ‘Nice meeting you’.
You are in a coffee shop. You didn’t wonder why he brought you in this kind of place. This is so usual place where a man takes a woman and spends their day getting to know each other. And besides, you have known that he likes coffee more than you ever think.
He wanted to be a barista and he even brought Luhan, his co – member from EXO to a place like this and showed his skills in making the best tasting coffee.
You nod at what he says. “Anyway, how did you know my number?” you ask him. You can’t think that this is coincidental, because you have given your number to no one except your close friends and relatives.
“Sungmin gave it to me” he says. Knowing he was saying, your eyes widen. He knows your brother.
“You know him? My brother?” you say still surprised. Oh Gosh! You missed your brother so much. This is unexpected.
“Actually he’s been mentioning you to me. I became curious. Remember the time we first met? That wasn’t an accident. I intentionally sought for you” he says.
Your ears just can’t believe what they are hearing. Your brother had introduced you to him.
“Is that true?” he nods. “And…” you ask, wanting to hear for more.
“I didn’t know that I’m starting to l…like you” he stammers. Mr. Baozi Man likes you! You must be dreaming. A part of your mind disagrees.
“Re…really?” you stutter. He’s brave enough to confess to you his feelings.
“I’m sorry but… I think I like you too”
