mina went out to the grocery, she said she wanted to cook for me and for her friend who helped us out. and i was left alone with the guy.

i was sitting beside the heavy boxes of mina's stuffs on the floor. "we haven't really introduced ourselves properly, have we?" i ask the guy who was by the open door, vaping.

he turned his head to me, "we haven't, but i kinda know you already" he said, turning his head back at where he's looking at.

"yes, i think i've seen you somewhere too, but i don't quite remember." i replied, staring at his figure against the sunlight. i bowed my head, typing my reply to mina's text messages asking me what i wanted to eat. i was distracted enough not to notice the guy sit down not too far in front of me.

"ato sukidesuka?" he said as he leaned back, his arms supporting his body with one of his hands touches the floor.

and then i suddenly remember, he was the guy from the theater in chiba.

i saw him smile a little seeing how i started to remember. "i'm a regular customer at the waffle shop you're working at, and i'm quite disturbed at how you always look so angry." he continued with a teasing but honest tone.

i covered my mouth in shock, i couldn't believe it.

i hear him laugh, obviously to lessen the shock i'm feeling. "my name's jimin by the way. i'm park jimin." he said coolly, like he didn't make me feel so awkward and uncomfortable.

"oh my god, the world really is too small for stupid people like me." was what i could only say before i lend my hand and shake his. "i'm yoo jeongyeon." i said.

"yes. yes, i know." he smiled as we shook hands.

further into the day, i can sense some weird aura around this man, but definitely not in a bad way.//
