You ruffle your hair harshly out of annoyance and boredom. It's still Saturday and your dead bored at home since you only live with your dog. Unfortunately, you couldn't play with him since he's sleeping ever so peacefully on his mini-bed you had bought for him.
An idea suddenly popped out of your mind. You can even imagine the light bulb appearing above your head. ' I surely should go the mall and buy a hanky for Hoseok. Maybe, just maybe, we cross paths again', you mumbled to yourself. You felt a slight feeling of hope to see Hoseok again. He was the first ever person who made you differently happy after all the tragic happenings in your life. You just can't imagine not seeing that bright smile of Hoseok ever again.
You got up from the couch, and walked to your bedroom. You opened your closet and looked for some comfy clothes. Of course the ones you can wear in public. You stepped in the shower and did your business.
As you stepped out of the shower, you quickly got dressed. You found Tan still asleep. You decided to leave some food in his bowl, not sure if you can come home early to feed him.
You locked the door of your apartment and hired a cab. Well, you have a car, it is parked in the garage of your apartment building but you were too lazy to drive. The cab soon arrived. Not so long after, the cab stopped in front of a huge mall. You paid and bowed politely to the driver. The driver smiled at you and left.
You quickly entered the mall and looked for hankies. You bought a whole set for Hoseok, but not so sure if you'll have the chance to give it to him. But, you surely hope so. You strolled around the mall and bought some clothes for yourself too. Soon enough, you have spent 2 hours shopping and you surely are tired.
You sat on one of the benches in the mall. You decided to go to the same place you have been yesterday. You just need some time for yourself.
You arrived at the same place and sat there, two bags at your side. You stare into nothing again, ignoring the people passing by. Everytime you go to this place, you feel the very same thing. You feel nothing. The ground is slightly covered with snow now, as it just started snowing yesterday. Yes, the second day of snowfall.
You were about to leave, but a familiar voice spoke up from behind the bench you were sitting at. "I was right, I was sure I'll see you again here." You looked at him and was welcomed by his warm smile. The very same smile you wished you can see again. There he was, Hoseok, the guy you just met the day before but you surely have been attached to.
"I guess, fate just really made the way to let me give this to you", you said handing him the box which contained a set of hankies. "It's an exchange for your handkerchief, and as I promised. I will keep your handkerchief for myself as you told me yesterday", you added smiling at him. "You really didn't have to, but thanks anyway. I was about to ask you something yesterday, but you already left. I was screaming your name, stopping you but you didn't hear me."
"Oh really, mianhae.What was the thing you wanted to ask me yesterday?", you replied raising an eyebrow at him. He shyly smiled and hesitated for a while, but continued,"I was about to ask you for your number yesterday. I'm sure I would like to see you more often. Besides, we're friends right?" A hint of an unknown feeling crept up your chest. You feel blood rushing through you cheeks. "I also remembered about forgetting about asking your number yesterday and I regret that.But, since you already asked for mine, I'll give you." You held out a hand and he handed you his phone. You typed in your phone number and your name. You handed him his phone back. "I purposely came here, thinking and hoping I would see you here again since you said you come here often. I wasn't wrong and I met you again this time. I feel happy right now."
"Me too Hoseok, I feel happy to see you again. I also hoped I would see you again, and that came true."
After a few minutes of talking to each other, you noticed the sun setting down. You glanced at your wristwatch. It's nearly 6 in the evening. "I should get going now Hoseok, it's really nice to see you again" He stood up, "It's a joy to see you too again Yanna. I can walk you home if you want to."
Without you realizing it, you have allowed him to walk you home. He carried the clothes you have bought for yourself earlier. Such a gentleman. You stood in front of your apartment building. "Thank you for walking me home." No problem, Yanna." You bid goodbye to each other.
Before he takes a step away, you called out for him again. "Oh, wait Hoseok" He looked at you "Ne?" Without saying a word, you walked to him, tiptoed and kissed his cheeks. You saw his reaction. He was utterly shocked. He couldn't speak but you surely saw him smiling right after. You didn't know why you did that, you quickly rushed inside the apartment building, feeling embarrassed.You found yourself smiling, thinking of what just happened.
