Abroad with Jimin

1

"Sky, did you pay yet?" My friend Rachel shouts across the store.

"Yeah, coming" I shove the change in my pocket and turn on my heels, running into a very well dressed guy, spilling my hot coffee all over his jacket. My change spills everywhere.

"Ah!" He winces.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry!"

"Ah, it's ok" He speaks with an adorable Korean accent.

I grab napkins from the countertop. When I turn back to him he's picking up all my change.

"Oh, you don't have to do that, thank you." I hand him a few napkins and he hands me my change. He takes off his jacket and starts wiping down the wet part of his shirt. "Let me help you" I yes the napkins I have to wipe his shirt as well. Even through the fabric, I can feel that he must be so incredibly ripped underneath. "Crap, did I burn you?"

He's about to speak but is cut off by another well-dressed guy coming our way. "Jimin-ssi!"

"Jungkook-ah." He responds.

They start speaking in Korean. I hear Rachel from the other side of the counter, probably waiting at the door. "Sky?"

"Um, give me a minute, I spilled my coffee on a guy."

"What?" She comes over and stops in front of me. "Oh wow, you did."

"Can you tell him I'm sorry and I'll pay for his jacket? I'm not sure they speak english"

She nods and interrupts their conversation. Rachel speaks Korean, so I really appreciate having her around for the study abroad in Seoul semester.
The guy I spilled coffee on, Jimin, responds to Rachel.

"He says its no problem. He has another jacket like it at home."

"Really? I feel horrible."

She repeats it back to them.

Jimin looks at me and takes my hand. "What's your name?" He asks.

"Skylar."

"Skylar, it's ok."

"He has a lot of clothes. Too many." The other one, Jungkook, adds.

"Can I at least buy you guys some coffee?" Rachel translates for me.

"Oh, no no." Followed by something in Korean.

"They have to go." Rachel tells me.

"Oh. Alright. I'm sorry again."

"Bye. It's nice to meet you." They leave the coffee shop and I watch as they're flooded by a small group of girls.

"What's that about?" I ask Rachel.

"Not sure, one of them just asked for a picture."

"Do you think they're, like, local celebrities?"

Rachel shrugs. "Maybe they're YouTubers?"

"I don't know, but they're both stupid hot."

"Oh yeah, definitely."

"Look, he left his coffee stained jacket!" It's draped on a chair. He must have put it there when his friend came over.

"Guess it's yours now."

"Don't be stupid, I should give it back." I look out the coffee house. They're gone.

"Guess not. His friend said he has enough clothes, plus maybe he'll be reallly famous one day and you'll have able to say you have his jacket."

I offer her a smile but I still feel bad. It looks expensive.

"Come on, lets head back before your devil spawn roommate gets home."
