"Cafe Pistou?"

Riley frown at the old wooden sign that has the name of the cafe painted on it. The cafe looked vintage but also had a hint of modern in the furniture. She caught onto a strange familiar feeling when she entered the shop.

Something about the smell and vibe of the cafe gave her the feeling of fondness as if she came here before or maybe a couple more times too.

As Riley was frowning at the familiarity, Jimin found himself softening at the old cafe. Seeing it hasn't changed since forever made him walked down the memory lane. The signature muffins, the coffees and chattering. His eyes swell slightly as he recalled the time Riley got herself hired here just to get him his birthday gift.

The times they both visited here for breakfast as well as dinner. The place they fell in love is now just him standing beside a girl who seemed to have nothing left in her mind of the cafe. It all seemed ew to her.

He sadly smiled at the irony but guided Riley in. They took a seat which Jimin picked because it was the seat they always chose back then. Riley scanned the manner, finding the dishes mouth-watering like the picture they provided.

"A plate of Roman spaghetti and salad. Oh and this....muffin... thanks"

Riley ordered and watching how she is still attracted to the dishes like back then made Jimin melt in his seat.

"It looked just like how I remembered..."

Jimin mumbled as he pored through the cafe.

"You've been here before?"

"Since birth..."

"But you're born in Busan, aren't you?"

Jimin was caught in his breath hearing her confusion. After the tragedy, he changed most of his documents, even his birthplace. Yes, he was born in Busan but Seoul was where he registered his birth after being kicked out by his father. Now, Riley is questioning his birth and if she knew he erased his information, she will be having headaches.

"Uh ya I mean....I visited Seoul often back then and come here whenever I do."

He averted his gaze from her and she found that quite weird but shrugged it off when the food arrived.

"Jimin?..."

Jimin dropped his utensils when he heard the familiar voice. He might be cheerful about it if Riley wasn't there but she was and if that person recognizes the ex-couple, he will lose Riley, again.

Jimin slowly turned around, finding an old woman smiling warmly at him. Ms Mary. The owner of Cafe Pistou. She watched the couple first have their lunch in here cafe and them growing into lovers.

"M-Ms Mary? H-How are you..."

Jimin stood up and blocked Riley from Ms Mary, pretending she wasn't there just incase the old woman blurt out unnecessary things.

"My lovely Jimin~ look at you, grown into such a man!"

She patted his biceps and teasingly wiggled her brows before laughing along with Jimin. Indeed, he had grown into a man and even taller by an inch...only an inch though.

Suddenly, Ms Mary stopped laughing and tilted her head to the side and eyed behind Jimin when she heard humming. She slightly frowned before gasping loudly and shoved Jimin to the side.

"RILEY?!!?!"

Ms Mary rushed to the clueless girl who was just munching down her muffin before being engulfed by Ms Mary's embrace.
