Beep... beep... beep. 'That will be 3500 ₩, sir.'

Friday afternoon, Y/n was working at the local little supermarket of a not so fancy region of Seoul. She worked there as a cashier to be able to pay for her brother's school fees. Her mother had died when her brother was born and her father wasn't in their lives anymore, so she was the one who had to take care of her little brother.

She had as well an older brother, but he was already married and had two children. He tried to help them by sending some money, but that's all he could do as he was living in a different city, Goyang.

So here she was, working at the supermarket, doing her best trying to combine this job with studying and taking care of her brother.

'Hi, good afternoon! ' Y/n cheerely said. Her next customer was new and she found his behavior a bit strange. His face was covered by a face mask, something common there in Korea, but he looked as if he was trying not to be recognized by someone, trying to go unnoticed.

Still, she was as friendly as with every other customer. He only got one thing, a twelve bottle pack of banana milk. 'Huh, strange' she though to herself. But still, who was she to judge someone for what they bought? It wasn't, by far, the strangest combination she had seen.

The guy quickly paid and left the store after bowing slightly. A bit rude in y/n's opinion, but it could have been worse.

Fast forward to the next week

Y/n hadn't seen the strange guy again in that whole week. That was until he came back the next Friday.

Y/n greeted him happily, as with every other customer. Again, he was buying banana milk and nothing else. But this time, he looked a bit more relaxed. He even said 'thank you' to her before leaving. Y/n was very intrigued by this mysterious and strange boy and was hoping to see him again some day and maybe even talk to him? Get to know him? There was something special about him that attracted her.

For the next few weeks nothing changed. The guy would come every Friday at the same hour and buy every time the same thing: a twelve bottle pack of banana milk.

But as time passed by, his manners started to change. He wasn't in such a rush, or apprehensive to not get caught, even though y/n still didn't know by who, and he took his time to have some small talk with y/n. He was always cheery and they always shared good laughs.

After some time, y/n realized she had started to feel somthing more for  the banana milk guy. She always looked forward to that one day in the week when he would come in and talk to her for 5 minutes and when he did so, there were so many butterflies in her belly she thought she would fly away.

But she was scared to tell him about it, scared for him to freak out and leave for good and then she wouldn't even get to see him once a week. It was an impossible love, but she still hoped one day he would give the first step. If y/n would have known who the banana milk boy was, she wouldn't have hoped for something, but as everyone knows: out of sight, out of mind...

Fast forward, some Friday a few months after

Today was Friday! Y/n was happy because that ment she was going to see her banana milk lover. But when she saw him she was very disappointed, he looked tired and didn't want to joke with her when she tried to cheer him up. She thought he must have had a pretty rough day but still couldn't find the right words to say to him. He left pretty quickly and she didn't get to tell him goodbye.

Y/n spend the rest of her shift thinking about him. She couldn't focus on her job and two times she told the wrong price to the customer. Her boss saw this and told her to leave the shift earlier. Not because he was angry, but because they had lost some money because of her. They had a pretty good relationship and he was like a father to her, so he told y/n to go home and rest for the day,  he would take care of the two hour shift left.

Y/n felt sad and guilty, but new it was the best option, if not she would keep making mistakes and she couldn't afford to pay them back.

As she was walking home, after leaving the shop,  she saw him sitting by the river bank. He looked serious and was drinking one of the banana milk bottles he bought earlier. Y/n decided to go talk to him, so she approached him carefully:

'I didn't know all those banana milk bottles were for you' she said smiling to him.

He looked up and for the first time Y/n could clearly see his face. She had gotten used to seeing only his eyes and she loved how expressive they were. They were enough for her to know what he was feeling or thinking. But know she could see his whole face, she was in aw. He was extremely handsome, with a beautiful face, crystal clear skin and a long and perfectly shaped nose. He looked like a supermodel.

He tiredly smiled back to her and offered her a banana milk:
'They are actually for my younger brother. ' he replied.

Y/n took the bottle and sat next to him. She looked at him while taking a long sip and then said:
'What's up with you? You look so tired and normally you're so happy, I always look forward to your visit... I'm y/n by the way. '

The boy looked at her as if he hadn't expected her to be that friendly, he looked scared of telling her the truth. But after a moment of hesitation he sighed and said:
'Nice to meet you y/n, I'm Jung Hoseok, but you can call me J-Hope. Do you have a few hours for me to bother you?' he chuckled.

Like this they talked for hours and hours, about the sweet and the sour. Y/n told him about her life. How her mother had tragically died during her brother's birth and how their father, crazily heart brokened, had left her and her older brother behind with the baby. How she now had to work hard to take care of him, but she didn't mind, knowing at least he would still have a happy life, in spite of their dad.

J-Hope was surprised about how strong she was and how much she trusted him to tell him all these secrets, so he told her his'. He told her about his life as an idol and how much people expected him from him. About how he always had to look perfect and act perfect and how he was never allowed to do something by his own. Only on Fridays, when he would go buy banana milk for his youngest member, he would have a bit of peace and try to imagine how a normal life would be.

Y/n liked this about him, the fact that he took so much care of his youngers was something they had in common. And it didn't help her feelings for him at all, but she couldn't keep them a secret anymore. So she told him.

She told him he was one of the reasons she liked her job and that he was the reason she jumped out of bed every Friday morning looking forward to their little interactions.

He looked surprised but amazingly calm. He smiled and looked at Y/n in the eyes:
'I'm always looking forward to see those two beautiful eyes that are a window to an even more beautiful soul. '

And this, my friends, was the beginning of a beautiful relationship that would make the public fall in love with them and that would last forever.

Epilogue

J-hope continued to buy banana milk at y/n's  little supermarket, but instead of each Friday, he would go there everyday to see her.

It became their little secret ritual and instead of buying 12 bottles each time, he would buy 3: one for jungkook, one for  y/n and one for y/n's little brother.

He had become like a best friend and a father at the same time to him and this only made y/n fall even more in lover with him.
