later that day, at 5:00 pm, to be precise, i finished my class day, and i got to the bus stop because singing classes were cancelled that day because of the concert of two days before. i waited for 10 minutes to take the bus to go back home. when i entered it, i sat at the back, next to a lady with her child. when she needed to get off the bus, i stood up to let her pass, and noticed that, on the seat which back was just behind mine was mark, alone. he raised his eyes from his phone while i was staring at him, and we had an eye contact. i froze, he did too, and i quickly smiled at him before going back to my seat.

and well, i started to question myself... should i go and sit next to him? should i start a conversation?

i questioned myself for long minutes, before i decided to stand up and go to him. but i was stopped by an old woman, who wanted to sit next to me, blocking my only way out.

so, i sat down again, thinking that god wasn't on my side and that my fate was to stay alone, and never talk to him.

still, the idea of sitting next to him couldn't get out of my head. i wanted to stand up and go to him, but the old lady was still sitting next to me, with her greenish purse on her knees, blocking the way out.

four stops before mine i decided to act. i kindly asked the lady to get off my way, so that i could get out, and i approached the empty seat next to mark. i breathed deeply and started the speech i had revised in my head for the last 20 minutes.

"hello mark, i wanted to start a conversation, because i know that otherwise i won't dare to talk to you, because i'm a bit shy, but anyways, i have been wanting to start this conversation for a bit of time, and- i don't know... may i sit?" well... this didn't get out the way i had planned...

he looked at me with shock, surprise and amusement in his eyes, and he invited me to sit by his side. after seconds of silence, he broke the ice.

"it is great that you came to talk to me. i wanted to do so too, but I'm not brave enough." he said timidly.

"yea, i had to... otherwise we would never have talked together." i mumbled blushing.

"i'm happy you came." he smiled brightly, causing my heart to explode in my chest. "so, how was your concert?" he asked to avoid an awkward blank.

"yes, lucas and I did well, but I'm sad it's already finished, i had a good time." i admitted trying to look at him in the eyes, but failing miserably.

"cool, don't worry, i'm sure there will be many other concerts." he replied.

"i hope so."

silence.

"i'm sorry donghyuck. this is my stop." mark said, two stops before mine.

"oh yeah, bye then. it was nice talking with you." i smiled, letting him pass to get out of the bus.

"bye, see you soon!"

and then he got out and disappeared in the crowd of people of our city.

i couldn't feel happier. i started crying, tears of joy, in the bus, not caring about my surroundings. i hopped of the bus, and ran back home, happier than ever.

when i arrived home, i noticed i had just received a message from mark.
