[Jihye's POV]

Finally, it's my lunch break. Today, the business in the cafe is really good. Fall's weather really brings more customers to come in for some hot coffee. I went to the locker room and retrieve my phone and I saw ...

13.10.12

[ Genius-Min]: 21st, are you free?

--------

I gasp! SUGA DM me again.

I quickly went outside the cafe, formulating my reply.

---------

[🦉Sweet-Wisdom]: This month? I have class in the morning.

[ 🐱Genius-Min]: Afternoon. Let's meet, as friends.

[🦉Sweet-Wisdom]: Jo-ahyo (Sure). (・_・;)

[🐱Genius-Min]: If so, Shinsa-Dong, Dosan Park. 3 p.m.

[ 🐱Genius-Min]: Remember to bring your camera

----------

Is this a dream? I pinch myself at my thigh.

It hurts! It's not a dream.

What should I do? My camera, I need to check if it is still working, all battery charged? My outfit! What should I wear? Should I buy a new set? Dress? Shoes?

🦉Jihye: Hold on, hold on. Kim Jihye! Regain your consciousness!

🦉Jihye: Just as friends. You are thinking too much! You will scare him away if you act like this.

🦉Jihye: Just friends. Just act you are meeting a new friend. Don't overdo it. Right!

----------

🐴Hoseok: You gave me a shock! Yoongi Hyung, you have woken up. What are you doing here?

🐱Yoongi: Yaaa, Hoseok ah. Which hat should I wear? Beanie or Fedora?

🐴Hoseok: Hyung, are you going for the Seoul Fashion Week too? Isn't it just Namjoon and Jin Hyung?

🐱Yoongi: Eoh? I'm not going. I'm just thinking about what to wear later for grocery shopping.

🐴Hoseok: Waaahh. That's too much, Hyung.

🐱Yoongi: So, beanie or fedora?

----------

It's the autumn season. Dosan Park is now bathed in the yellow warmth of the autumn sun. The trees have all turned red, submerged in the loamy earth air.

Outside the Dosan Memorial Hall, Jihye is wearing a medium length woolen coat (borrowed from her sister), coupled with a turtleneck pullover, skinny jeans, and a pair of high cut black converse. Makeup is kept simple and goes well with the pumpkin shade lip lacquer.

Till now, Jihye is still not believing it. Maybe the account might be hacked and she is being tricked to come here. Or what if he forgot about the outing? Would Bithit even allow him to go outside?

A hand taps on Jihye's shoulder from the back.

🦉Jihye: Ah! kkam-jjakiya! (OMG!)

Jihye turn back and saw it's Yoongi.

Yoongi: Why so shocked? Am I a ghost?

🦉Jihye: a-niii~ (noo). I just didn't expect someone coming from the back.

Yoongi is wearing a flannel shirt with a Thrasher Flame Logo Hoodie, a 6-inch Timberland boots, and a military cuff beanie. He is carrying his OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5, last seen on the picture from BANGTAN BLOG.

Jihye can't help to stare at him. It is so unrealistic to see SUGA wearing his casual clothes, standing right in front of her without any table in between them.

🐱Yoongi: Ya, Kim Jihye! Regain your consciousness!

🦉Jihye: Ah, sorry. I just find it fascinating that MIN SUGA is standing right in front of me.

🐱Yoongi: Today, I am not MIN SUGA, just Min Yoongi. Your friend, Min Yoongi.

🐱Yoongi: Didn't you said, that friends do not just meet during fan meetings.

🦉Jihye: It was too irresponsible of me to say that. It was just a fit of anger. You are already so busy with dance practice, producing, and album promotions. Yet I said words like that.

🐱Yoongi: Like what you said, I'm so busy that I need a break too.

🐱Yoongi: The weather is awesome today! I'm going to take lots of good pictures.

----------

🦉Jihye: Wah, I didn't know that Dosan park is so beautiful during the fall. Can you help to take a picture of me with the Autumn backdrop?

Jihye passed Yoongi her camera and walk to the center path of the park to have her photo taken.

🐱Yoongi: 1, 2, 3!

Yoongi first used her camera to take the photo. Then he quickly took out his phone and secretly took a candid shot of Jihye.

🦉Jihye: Now it's your turn! Let me take a photo of you.

🐱Yoongi: shilro (I don't want).

🦉Jihye: Why~? You have so many photos taken and does selfie isn't it?

🐱Yoongi: Those are work, and selfie are fan-service.

🦉Jihye: araseo (I got it)... I just help you take a back view of you with the scenery, okay? Walk to the center, go.

--------

🦉Jihye: Wahh, we had so many pictures taken. Autumn is always the best season!

🐱Yoongi: I'm thirsty. Shall we go to a cafe?

🦉Jihye: Sure.

🦉Jihye: Min Yoongi...

🐱Yoongi: eoohh...

🦉Jihye: Do you get recognized on the streets? Is it okay for you to just walk roam around with me like this? What if you get photos taken by the paparazzi?

🐱Yoongi: Don't worry. I'm not that popular. The general public still has no clue of BTS. Sometimes, I may get recognized by some ARMYs, as long as I avoid visiting the bustling places, the chances are low.

🦉Jihye: Ohh, I see. How about Sasaengs? Did you encounter them before?

🐱Yoongi: Hardly. I barely stepped out of the building since debut. Sasaengs has given up on me. They prefer to follow the maknaes.

---------

🐱Yoongi: Ahhh...sorry. Do you mind paying for the coffee first? I think I forgot to bring my card out. I will wire transfer you the balance. Give me your phone number.

🦉Jihye: Don't worry. Take it as my treat. Nuna buys you a coffee.

Yoongi chuckled and show his gummy smile when he heard that.

🐱Yoongi: Jwo~ (give).

After giving her number and get the order, Jihye walked up to the Barista and said: "Two Iced Americano to go, please."

Jihye pick up her phone to check on the notification.

kam-sa nuna-ya (Thank you, nuna informal tone)

She looks back and Yoongi was looking out at the window.

--------

Jihye and Yoongi are sipping their iced Americano while strolling down the alley of Samsung-dong.

🐱Yoongi: I was looking at your profile pictures, there is a picture of a cat. Is that yours?

🦉Jihye: ahhh~ that picture. That cat is a neighborhood cat, his name is bang-eol (bell). He's really friendly, always come to me when I call him.

🦉Jihye: How about you? Do you have a pet?

🐱Yoongi: Holly. My puppy. Here's a picture of him.

🦉Jihye: Woah, He's so cute.

🐱Yoongi: You think so too? He was an abandoned puppy. My elder brother rescued him and named him Holly.

🦉Jihye: Looks like your love for Holly isn't any lesser than your elder brother. I can see the sparks from your eyes when talking about Holly.

🐱Yoongi: Anyway, do you mind going to a place with me?

🦉Jihye: Where?

🐱Yoongi: Just follow me.

---------

🦉Jihye: Wahhh, as expected from the Olympic Park. KSPO Dome is really huge!

🐱Yoongi: Next month, KSPO will host the Melon Music Award. I really hope that we can be nominated for the Rookie Award. If we win the award, then we will have a chance to perform in the dome. Tsk, talking about winning the award when not even sure of getting nominated.

🦉Jihye: BTS will perform in the KSPO dome.

Yoongi turned his head and looks at Jihye.

🦉Jihye: Not just to win the Rookie award. But one day, to host your own BTS concert there.

🐱Yoongi: Isn't this dream a little too far-reaching?

🦉Jihye: You got to dream big, isn't it?

🦉Jihye: I have been religiously voting online for you guys, okay. I'm certain BTS will be nominated. And win it!

🐱Yoongi: Thank you (formal tone).

🦉Jihye: Why are you this? I'm so not used to it.

🐱Yoongi: Let's go. Let Oppa buy you dinner!

🦉Jihye: Didn't you forgot your card?

🐱Yoongi: I found it.

🦉Jihye: moyaa~ (What the...)

---------

It is 6 kilometers away from Jamsil to yeoksam-dong, too far to walk back. Yoongi and Jihye decided to take a city bus back. To prevent from being recognized, Yoongi put on a black mask.

Jihye and Yoongi seated at the second last row of the bus, looking out at the dazzling lights of the city.

🐱Yoongi: Didn't you said you draw comics? I want to see your artwork.

🦉Jihye: ahh... I'm so embarrassed.

Jihye showed the webtoon she drew to Yoongi.

🐱Yoongi: Not bad. I'll pay attention to it.

🦉Jihye: Really? How about other members?

🐱Yoongi: yaaa. Don't get greedy.

The crackling laughter from Jihye and Yoongi fill up the bus in this autumn spirit.

--------

🦉Jihye: Thank you for accompanying me all the way here. It's really not necessary though.

🐱Yoongi: Of course it is. It's late and can get dangerous.

🦉Jihye: It's only 9.30 p.m.

🐱Yoongi: Still, it can get dangerous. I'm leaving.

Looking at Yoongi's back view getting further and smaller. Jihye shouted "Thank you! Friend!"

Yoongi put up and right hand and wave, but not looking back.

---------

P.S. Yoongi actually lied that he forgot to bring his credit card at the cafe so as to come up with an excuse to find out Jihye's phone number.
