Sipping on my coffee, I explore the environment with my eyes. Some people here, some people there. Just the regular.

???: Ms, is there anything else I can do for you?

I look up gazing at the waitress and move my head in a no.

Me: I'm fine, thanks.

Waitress: Sure.

She leaves my table.

Passengers. Tourists. Parents. Couples. Loners. Children. I see them all. They are either living their best life or struggling with it. It's funny how I can read their expressions. Turning to look at the time I realize it's already a bit late. I should get going. I stand up.

???: Hey you're-

Not noticing someone behind me, I bump into a dude.

Me: Ugh. Excuse me.

???: No no, excuse me.

I chuckle wanting to pass him. But it takes me only a few seconds to recognize his voice.

Me: Wait... Jisung?

Jisung: Hi.

He stares at me.

Me: What are you doing here? Go home.

I walk on.

Jisung: I- hey wait!

Me: Jisung this is not the time for being childish okay?

Jisung: I'm not. I swear. But who was that guy last night?

Me: What's this about? Are you following me?

He gets muted for a second.

Jisung: No... I was just worried because you suddenly disappeared and then I thought maybe you would be here.

I raise my eyebrow.

Me: At a Café around four cities further away?

He scratches the back of his head pouting thoughtfully.

Jisung: Yeah, I mean-

Me: Liar.

His expression changes into a yielding one.

Jisung: Okay, okay! I saw you on Snapchat.

My eyebrow raise becomes a frown.

Me: I'm in ghost mode.

Jisung: Okay I saw you leaving!
