Airplane | Jung Hoseok

Window Shopping 3

The whole day was amazing. Hoseok was the perfect tour guide and the perfect person to have wonderful conversations with. He and Lena have talked so much about themselves, of course with many limitations.

Lena has learned the best place to go to get a cup of coffee, to get drinks, and buy stylish yet inexpensive clothes.

She has noticed how free... how content Hoseok has been with her. Even though his smile can't be shown, all she had to see were his eyes. They were shining like the sun. He was talking with Lena. He was laughing with Lena.

As Hoseok talked, Lena studied him even more. The way he smiled shyly when he got so excited over the smallest thing, the way he leaned closer to Lena when she had something to say, and the way he almost always had to stop by a shop's window.

"I have always liked window shopping. Imagining if I bought what's in there, but in reality I probably would not make good use out of it." He snickered, stopping by the fifth window today.

"Ah, I try not to torture myself by doing that," Lena responded with a small smile "The things I see I would wear, but I just can't afford." She finished solemnly.

"But that makes the item more special for when you can afford it." Hoseok pointed out, trying to brighten her spirits.

Lena nodded. "Usually when you want something so bad and then you get it, you take it for granted..." she mumbled quietly enough that Hoseok wouldn't hear it.

It was around dinner time when Hoseok took Lena to a good ramen shop downtown. They haven't realized that they haven't eaten all day, besides for that ice cream earlier.

"I'll pay! You bought the ice cream, I got this." Lena said tenaciously. She gave Hoseok a look to not challenge her at that.

"As you wish." He joked, finding a table right next to a window.

That probably wasn't the smartest of ideas.

A few minutes into eating, a loud gasp, no many loud gasps could be heard from the entrance of the Ramen shop.

"It's him! It's really him! I saw him, guys right there!" A small group of girls, ages ranging from teens to young adults, were gathered at the entrance, pointing at Hoseok.

"Lena, you should go to the restroom." He spoke frantically, "Now would be best." Hoseok repeated as he saw the confused look on Lena's face.

She didn't have to ask any questions before she stood and paced towards the restroom hallway. When she arrived at the hallway she peaked around the corner at the table they shared. Hoseok wasn't at the table, but at the entrance.

He was smiling at the girls, slowly easing them out of the entrance way as they were blocking a few people trying to get in. He pulled down his half mask to take photos with the girls, giving them his award winning smile.

The shop owner and a waiter were blocking the girls from getting in the way, whilst trying to get them away from Hoseok.

Hoseok managed to stop the girls from following him, probably with his charming self. But, he did not come back into the shop, instead he hailed down a taxi and go inside.

Lena wasn't offended by the fact that he left her at the ramen shop, she understood. Her phone began to ring and saw the caller ID "Hobi"

"Wasn't that quite a show? Are you going to explain what that was all about?" Lena spoke first, purposely trying to sound like a disappointment mom.

"You're probably mad at me for just leaving you like that, but I promise I'll tell you about it next time." Hoseok answered genuinely.

"Will there be a next time?" Lena whispered, as she was paying for their two unfinished ramen bowls.

"I hope so." He sighed, "I'll see you later, Lena."

The call ended.

Lena couldn't help feeling disappointed. She knew all the risks and everything they couldn't do. Yet, she still got her hopes up.

She walked out of the ramen shop, with full intent on walking to her apartment instead of getting an Uber.

"Are you sure?" Lena heard faded whispers at the corner of the side walk, she glanced over at the source of the sound. Immediately recognizing that it was the previous group of girls who were swooning over their idol, Hoseok.

"That's her, that's the girl who was eating with Hobi!"
