Falling For You (Y.JH)

3

the next day at work you came again.

but this time you looked a bit down. you weren't with your girlfriend.

i wanted to ask if you were okay, but i couldn't bring myself to it. it wasn't my business anyways.

you went to sit by the window looking out at the sidewalk covered in snow. i noticed you kept on sighing, and looked frustrated.

i tried to ignore you and keep on working. it was hard. i keep on glancing over at you to see if you were still there. surprisingly you were.

****

it was almost time for the café to close. you were still there. why?

it was just me there cleaning up a bit more before leaving.

i thought you were gonna leave soon so i didn't mind you and changed my clothes.

i saw you leaning against the wall facing me with a smile on your face. i saw you smile for the first time today. it felt good.

"yes?"

"you get off work so late" he replied with a chuckle

i was confused, i was about to say something but he cut me off.

"c-can i walk you home..it's pretty late" he said while scratching the back of his neck and avoiding my eyes

of course i was creeped out.

but i couldn't deny it.

i agreed and we both left.

"was that the start to everything? why start it when you're gonna end up leaving"
