I'm on my way to Blues Cafe. Kai told me that Yeonjun wanted to hang out and he told Kai to invite me.

When I finally found a seat in the bus, I plugged my earphones in and waited for the other passengers to settle down.

I was scrolling through Twitter when suddenly a guy sat beside me. He was wearing a black shirt paired with jeans. He was also wearing a white cap so I couldn't really see his face. I carefully scanned the bus to see that there were still empty seats.

He could've just chosen other seats.

I just shrugged it off since I didn't want to appear rude. And besides, this isn't my bus. Of course people can sit wherever they want.

I was watching a video when I suddenly felt someone poking me. I looked to the guy beside me. He already took off his cap which made me see his perfectly sculptured face. He was now looking at me with a very familiar smile.

"Hello," he said when I finally looked at him.

"Do I know you?" I asked, hopefully not sounding rude. Although, he does seem familiar.

I think I saw him somewhere before...

He chuckled at my question. "You don't remember me? And here I was unable to sleep cause I can't stop thinking about you," he said while holding the left side of his chest, pretending to be hurt.

I looked at him with confused eyes.

He really looks familiar, where have I seen him before?

"I guess you really don't remember, huh?" he said while scratching his head.

"The name's Beomgyu," he said while extending his arm.

Beomgyu?

"Oh! You were the part time worker at Yeonjun hyung's cafe. I'm Taehyun by the way," I said and shook his hand.

"Are you headed to the cafe too?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I guess Yeonjun invited you to hang out too?" he asked and I nodded in response.

"We're here," he said, announcing our arrival.

"Beomgyu! Taehyun! I'm glad you guys were free," Yeonjun said when Beomgyu and I arrived.

I smiled at them while searching the cafe for Kai.

"Are you looking for Kai? He said he'll be a little late. Traffic." Soobin said answering my unvoiced question.

"We'll be taking his car to go to the mall," Yeonjun added.

"Hey, you okay?" Kai asked when I suddenly leaned my head against his shoulder. Yeonjun volunteered to drive his car so he was seated beside me.

"Just a little tired from my shift earlier," I answered with a yawn.

"You could've just stayed home and rest," he said with concern.

"Hey it's okay. Besides, I wanted to hang out with you guys."

"Take a quick nap then. I'll wake you up when we arrive."
