Kaylie's POV

We shopped some casual clothes, and changed into them and then we went to our favorite cafe, we used to go there each weekend. The ambiance of the cafe, its homey aroma, draws my soul into its cocoon for a few blessed moments. Even the owner, an elderly sweet man, remembers us.

"Omo, you two? Long time no see."

"Yeah, we were a bit.. occupied?" said Sasha as we sat at the corner and ordered our usual, an Iced Americano for Sasha and a Caramel Frappuccino for me. We sat quietly for the time our order was being prepared. I looked outside, the rain drenched scenery. Honestly, I love rain, I love how it softens the outlines of things. The world becomes softly blurred and I want to melt in it.

Soon our order was on our table, and I relished it to the core.

"Oh! How did you know I was here?" suddenly the very obvious question popped in my mind.

"I was just finding you and you happen to be there" came her simple response.

"Why were you finding me?"

"Ah actually your boyfr- oh fuck! I forgot about him."

"Forget about whom?"

Her hands reached the roots of her hair as she looked towards her phone screen.

"What is it??"

She flashed her phone screen in front of my eyes.

>

My eyes widened, "I'll call him", I mouthed.

Call Taehyung

Yes / No

[Hello]

[Is that really you?]

His voice was desperate as if he was yearning for the call. It made me feel apologetic and guilty to an extent.

[Y-Yeah]

[How are you?]

[I am fine]

[Don't lie]

[I am not lying]

[What happened?]

As much as I wanted to explain it to him how much I was lost, I could not form words. It was easier for me to fake to be alright rather than explaining what was killing me inside.

[Nothing]

[I am coming to Australia]

[And I am coming to Seoul]

[Really?]

[Ask yourself]

[You aren't, right?]

[Just like you.

Forget what I said, I

was a bit overwhelmed?

I guess.

I was not in my right mind]

[I don't know what I should

be saying when I already

know that you are lying

on my face and I absolutely

hate it..

Can't you trust me once?]

I gulped down what formed a knot in my throat, his voice expressed his care. Enough for me to trust him. And I always did, maybe.

[I do trust you]

[Then believe me, I

am coming to Australia.]

Contentment , the only word that could describe his words. He was satisfied, as what it seemed to me.

[Really? Why?]

[Just because.

I want to meet you]

[You are coming to meet

Me?]

[Yeah. Why aren't you happy?]

I felt the warmth fading in his tone.

[No no no. It's just

you don't have to come

if you think that.. you know

if you are solely coming

cause you are concerned.

You have work, right?]

[How can I work when my

favorite person is not

happy]

[Oh my God, I think I am diabetic now. The sweetness is killing. Taehyung, you caused the end of me.]

[Stop it, I am serious]

[It doesn't work that way, I guess]

[It's my work, it'll work as

I want it to]

[Yeah right]

[I am coming, we have already

booked our flight. It's tomorrow]

[We?]

[Yeah me and my friend]

[Oh I see..

Have you really thought this

through?]

[Yes. Don't worry. It was

essential for me too.. I wanted

a break. So.. I am coming for me

too.. And for my work.. I mean]

[You really can't lie]

[I was not lying]

[Haha, you're such a kid]

[I am not a kid]

[Stop denying the obvious]

[You too]

[Ahh!! Forget it. Then lets

meet when you are here.]

[Yeah, I am waiting for it]

[Me too]

"You both really make up a nice couple" complimented Sasha.

"Actually, we aren't a couple." I confessed.

"I know" she said as she sipped her coffee, "but you can be."

"Hm?"

"Just look at yourself, a moment prior your face was paler than ever and now you are blushing like an idiot."

"No I am not."

"Deny as much as you want to", she shrugged.

END OF KAYLIE'S POV

TAEHYUNG'S POV

A smile of satisfaction was visible on my face. I felt lighter, but not much cause I knew something wasn't clicking when my phone rang again.

"Saha"

[Hello?]

[Oh, Taehyung?]

[Yes?]

[Sorry to leave you there.

I misinterpreted the situation.]

[Hm]

[I know you must be hating

on me like everyone.

And I am not saying you are

doing anything wrong... And

I am not trying to clear my

name or justify something.]

[You are saying everything

except what you want to]

[You are coming here, right?]

[Yes]

[I thought Kaylie convinced

you not to]

[You could've asked her]

[She ran away to her job as soon

as she finished her coffee]

[Oh]

[So.. Um..]

[Just say it]

[You know, Kaylie..]

[What about her]

[Patrick made me lie to you,

I know what's wrong with her.

But, now I think you should

know it..]

[Wait, why did Patrick?]

[It's a family issue]

As much as I was curious and tensed to know what had happened cause I know that she was obviously lying to me, I cannot get to know it from a third source. No one likes their personal matter to be a topic of discussion and as far as she is concerned, she would obviously hate it. Even I would have hated it.

[Oh! Don't tell me..]

[Umm.. Why?]

[If she is comfortable in

sharing with me, she'll do it.]

[She's never gonna tell

you]

[Then it's her choice]

[Dude, she hasn't even told

Me. I mean I know that you

are closer to her but she

never voices her feelings.

NEVER.

I have known her since years

and you only know her from I

suppose months..]

[It's okay with me

Bye]

[Oh... Okay... Bye]
