The next few days time just seemed to fly by for Baram. Though her notes were ruined from the coffee she was able to get half of her script written. Most of her class time was just her and other students typing away at their laptops. Her burn was getting better over time, or at least that's what the overworked girl told herself so she wouldn't have to stress out about it.

She was currently comfortably hunched into a ball in her desk chair scribbling notes down. She sighed and starts playing with her pen anxiously. Suddenly the pen seemed to be asking for a death sentence and was flung across her small studio apartment. 'Damn, third time today..' She gazes around the room searching for another writing utensil to assault, stopping as her eyes rest on a neatly folded black hoodie. She stretches and gets up making her way to the hoodie sitting on her coffee table. 'Poor guy, I probably put him on edge..' she sighed picking up the hoodie. Letting her thumb caress the embroidered letters. The boys' smell lingered on the fabric, a smell the girl found comforting. She hugged it to herself.

"I should probably give this back.. ugh!!" She grumbled and put it back down. She pulled her phone out of her pocket, unlocking it. Searching for the boys' contact. 'Wait.. what was his name? Did I even ask? Omg, I'm stupid!' The girl mentally smacked herself, frantically searching through her contact list for a name she wouldn't recognize. She stopped at a strange name, well strange for her. Everyone in her phone had a stupid nickname and a bunch of emojis that described their relationship. Like her younger brothers contact just so happened to be "snack stealer 😤🍕". So it was rather shocking to see some random initials she couldn't make out as anyone she knew. '"s.cb?" Who..?' and with the smallest intuition, she clicked on the contact and messaged it.

Hello? This is the coffee guy, right?

s.cb
I assume so? If this is the girl I bumped into?

Unknown
It is, I told you my name...

s.cb
Baram, right? I'm sorry, are you hurt?

Coffee girl
Yea it's me. I'm fine, I just wanted to give you back your hoodie.

s.cb
Don't worry about it, I've got more. Plus I probably stained the one you were wearing. Keep it

Coffee girl
Are you sure? I mean I can always buy more it's fine. Plus it's cold and you were probably freezing all day because of me

s.cb
I was fine I had an extra one in my bag. But if you want we can meet up

Coffee girl
Ya sure. I'm free in 2 hours

s.cb
Great! What about at the park near that cafe around 3?

Coffee girl
I'm ok with that I'll be there, I've gotta go

s.cb
Have a good day

The boy smiled to himself as he shoved his phone into his hoodie pocket.
"Hyung? What're you smiling about?" He heard his close friend ask

"Hm...? Oh, nothing Felix.." the boy grumbled back

"Mhmmm... probably texting one of your hoes," Felix said teasingly, poking the older's arm

"Sweetie you know you're my only hoe." Changbin winked at the younger attacking him with a tight hug.

"Ugh! Stop you're so gross!" Felix yelped as the air was knocked out of him

"Never!!!" The older giggled

Time passed quickly and soon it was approaching 3 o'clock. The boy had the rest of the day off and told his band members he'd be out till late. Changbin made his way to the park gate waiting patiently for the stranger.
