Jinwoo was tired of being single. He had everything - an awesome career, the looks, the attitude. But why was he still not taken?

Maybe because he was scared. He was scared to meet new people. Yes. Yes, Jinwoo was scared.

So, Jinwoo didn't know why he was at the mall. He wasn't sure why he even tried to dress up and look presentable. Jinwoo didn't know why he said yes to Mino's invitation to finally meet up. He met Mino on Facebook. Mino's friends with his friend's friend. They were chatting for a while now in that social media platform.

Jinwoo likes chatting with Mino. Mino wasn't like his other friends who talk and talk but forget to listen. Mino talks and Mino listens. Mino is also very sensitive. Even if he doesn't tell him, Mino knows when he's not in the mood. Even if they don't see each other in person, Mino can still somewhat detect if he's sad.

Jinwoo bit his lip. What if the Mino he met on Facebook is different from the Mino he will meet in real life? Or what if Mino will not like him? Or what if Mino will not come?

"Excuse me."

With his heart racing, Jinwoo turned to the person who just spoke. Lo and behold, it was his chatmate - Mino.

"Hi! Have you been waiting long?"

The gentle smile on Mino's face was truly enough to take Jinwoo's breathe away. If Mino looks handsome in his photos on Facebook, in real life, he is... Oh! Jinwoo cannot take his eyes off him.

"Ah...uhm." Tonguetied. Now, Jinwoo knew how it felt. In the end, he settled on shaking his head.

Mino grinned wider. "So, where should we go first?"

"Uhm."

"Ah! There's a movie I really want to see, that is if it's okay with you."

Mino's eyes were shining, that's all Jinwoo can think of.

"Is it okay with you?"

Jinwoo nodded not really knowing what "it" was.



Mino was glad that Jinwoo started loosing up inside the cinema. He intenionally picked a comedy film to watch to lighten up the atmosphere and make Jinwoo comfortable with him. Despite meeting him for the first time today, Mino can say he already knows Jinwoo.

Mino knows how shy Jinwoo is. He knew how careful Jinwoo is in meeting new people and letting them in his life. But once he let someone in, Mino knows how deeply Jinwoo will care for that person. Mino has experienced even just through chat how thoughtful Jinwoo is. Actually, he thinks that Jinwoo's too thoughtful. Jinwoo thought about other people more than himself.

"It was really funny, isn't it?" he asked Jinwoo once they came out of the cinema.

"Yes, it is. I laughed a lot. My jaw hurts," Jinwoo replied while holding his jaw.

Mino smiled. "You're cute," he naturally blurted out, and then kind of regretted it afterwards when he saw Jinwoo stopped walking with his lips parted.

"You are too."

Mino cannot help but chuckle. Oh, how he wanted to hug Jinwoo that moment. He was so cute for him. The way he said what he just said so timidly was so adorable. "Should we eat now?"

Jinwoo looked at him in the eyes briefly and nodded.



Jinwoo was feeling frustrated. He was starting to hate himself for being too shy. He cannot even look at Mino in the eyes for more than five seconds. He felt like he was boring Mino and he was scared that Mino will never want to see him again.
