the day we met || kmg

oh my god this is so awkward.

an awkward silence flew around us. i stood in front of him, froze, have no idea what to say.

he tilted his head to the side, "do i know you?"

"i dont think so."

"then how did you know me?"

i stare at anything but him, my hands are trembling and cold sweat dripping off my forehead.

"d- do you really think a black cap and mask could hide your entire identity?" i said without trying to be weird. i couldnt even look at him in the eye.

he chuckled, "so, what should i wear to keep my identity hidden, then?"

"i dont know..." god, what should i say? "maybe an afro wig and a fake mustache."

im cringing so hard at myself. holy jisoos i wanted to cry. i wanted to go home and lock myself at my room, crying inside the blanket so bad.

he laugh this time, seems to enjoy my suffering. i murmured a quick thankyou, i dont even know if he could hear them, and make my way to the cashier as fast as i can.

i can hear his giggle behind me.

oh, how embarrasing.

i exited the bookstore and look at the time. shit shit shit, its 12.57. no doubt im going to be late for my shift. i better run.

>>>>>

"you're late." hayeon, my fellow co-worker standing in front of the cashier. she's giving me a judgemental look while crossing her arms.

"chill, im only 15 minutes late." i answered with my broken korean.

she rolled her eyes. she hate it when people show up late.

"i ran miles to get here," i wiped the sweat on my forehead as someone broke in to the door, he's panting his ass off.

meet nam jihyun. a boy, obviously. my other fellow co-worker.

"sorry im late. i overslept at the bus." he threw his backpack towards me, lucky enough for me to have a fast-reflects, i succesfully catch the backpack.

hayeon slap the back of his head, "you live 3 blocks away from here, why the heck you need to take on a bus?"

"my college is on the other side of this city, if you forgot." he's attempting to hit hayeon back, but she's fast enough to dodge him.

"no wonder jaemin break up with you. you have a memory of a freaking dory from finding nemo." said jihyun, "i bet you couldnt remember your anniversary date."

"HEY!" hayeon glare angrily at him, before disappearing through the employee's door.

i texted my mom, let out a virtual scream that had been pilling up inside my throat.

me
MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uri eomma

me
I MET KIM MINGYU!!!!

uri eomma

>>>>>

laying down my bed, i take a look at my phone. one of the trainer sends me an email contains of my daily schedule.

○monday-thursday (9-12pm) ; practice
○fri-sun (12-1pm) ; korean lessons
○mon, wed and sat (6-7pm) ; gym

i sighed.

as much as i want to lay on bed for the next couple hours, i need to go to practice today. its 08.00, meaning i still have an hour before the practice starts.

i took a quick shower, put on my clothes and make up, do my hair and heading off to the practice center. im not really hungry so i skipped breakfast.

once i arrived at the practice room, i told riel and leah about me and mingyu and how embarassing the moment were, and asked them is it common here in korea to bumped on a celebrity like that?

"yea its pretty common. i went to the same restaurant with nct's mark thrice. im not stalking him tho, their samgyeopsal is just so good."

"dont worry, he probably wouldnt recognize you. you only met him once and im sure he already forgot about it right now."

well, thats what they say.
