〈 ☼; THE STREET

Namjoon went to his apartment,as he entered,the interior design of it catches his attention,pausing for a moment to admire his new home. He loved it. Plain white paint on the walls,white tiles,paintings on the wall,and plants to take care of. It was simple but he loved it. It gives off a relaxing aura,that makes him calm. He went to his bedroom,and as expected,the designer really did follow all the things he want,black paint, and a wide sliding door window with the whole city scenery.

'I'll buy furnitures later.' he thought to himself as he grabbed his coat. He went out of his apartment,looking for a cab,he stroll the streets for a bit.

@k. namjoon "Ah, thank you," Yuna said as a cup of coffee was served, "No problem." She tasted the coffee. Sweet. Just how she liked it. As she carefully sipped her coffee, she continued reading her book. Engrossed in the book, she had lost track of time. Well, she couldn't help the fact the coffee shop felt like home to her after having worked there for a very long time. She decided to go back home.

As she exited the coffee shop, she thought about the interesting events that happened that day. That man was very interesting. Silver hair, with an apparent love for books. He was probably new to the town. She wondered if she would see him again.

@s. yuna Namjoon smiled as the lady told him the directions,then he thought maybe he could treat the other with a coffee,he called the waiter and "Pls make her some coffee,i'll buy it for her" he said as he smiled,glancing to the lady back.

"Well then,pls take your coffee,and I'll be taking my leave. Thanks by the way" Namjoon smiled to the other before finishing his cup of coffee,grabbing his bag and leaving the coffee shop.Making way to his new apartment.

@k. namjoon Yuna received her precious bookmark from the man, her teeth showing as she smiled from ear to ear.

Hearing the male's words, she was partly relieved having escaped a potential embarrassing situation, which, to be fair, she had created with her own hands. Or rather, which seemed to have gained a life of its own.

She quickly halted her internal monologue and proceeded to tell the male the directions: "So, when you step out from this coffee shop, just turn left, then left again. Walk past three stores and you're there!"

Yuna was proud. Helping a fellow book lover. And with proper talking even! She was pretty delighted. Now she could go home and read her book.

"Well, I'll be off then! If you somehow get lost, then just you can find me. I work here almost every day," she said.

@s. yuna He smiled to her and grab her bookmark which he inserted in his journal book,he gave the bookmark to the lady and shook his head.

"Oh you don't have to,you might be busy and i'm just going to take your time." he said as he sip his coffee,"You can just tell me the directions"

Namjoon thought of dropping by to his new apartment before going to the bookstore. It would be bothersome to have his belongings while roaming around the streets.'I'll just bring my camera' he thought to himself again before eating a slice of his cake.

@k. namjoon Hearing his reply, Yuna heaved a sigh of relief.

'Well, that wasn't as difficult as I thought,' she thought to herself. She suddenly felt bad for having misjudged him as an unreasonable person.

"I bought this book from that bookstore down the street. The books there are pretty good. And cheap too!" she said.

Yuna stopped for a moment. Should she offer to bring him there? It would mean having to talk to him more, but she had misjudged him and that was pretty mean.

"I could bring you there!" she exclaimed on impulse. "If you'd like, of course."

@s. yuna "Oh it's not that hard tho. like seriously" he said just to reassure the lady. Namjoon sip his coffee before speaking "Well, I just want to know,where did you bought that book" he looked at her,smiling before taking a slice of his mocha cake.

He just wants to roam around the place and he was really happy that there is a bookstore around,also a cafe.

'What a great day' he thought to himself before looking back at the girl,waiting for her response.

@k. namjoon Yuna was temporarily stunned, her smile disappearing. She quickly regained her friendly demeanour with a big smile plastered on her face.

"A condition? No problem."

That was obviously a lie. It posed a lot of problems for Yuna. She wanted to claw the guy's eyes out. 'Why would he want a condition for my own bookmark?' she thought. But she was desperate; she would do anything to get the bookmark back.

With a deep breath, she asked, "What's the condition?

@s. yuna When the waitress served his cup of coffee and his mocha cake,Namjoon eyes sparkled.He picked up his coffee and smelled it,the aroma of it lingers, and he smiled delightfully."As long as there was coffee in the world, how bad could things be?" Namjoon talked to himself before sipping his coffee,slicing his mocha cake and took a bite of it.While he was enjoying his time,his phone rings.'Ugh, it might be Oliver again' he grab his phone and scoffed, he's right,it was Oliver. Tired of his nagging,he decided to ignore the call.

As he was minding his own business,someone caught his attention. It was the girl from before,their eyes met.'She must've look for the bookmark' he thought to himself.

"Well hello, and yes and I have your bookmark.If you want it back then I have a condition" Namjoon smiled genuinely.

@k. namjoon Yuna was so distressed that she didn't even read her book on the way. Her mind was just too preoccupied with thoughts of losing the bookmark forever. She shook her head; she wouldn't let it happen. It was just too important to her. It was a gift from her parents which she had received on one of the few occasions when they took leave from work. They were hardly around so the bookmark was one of the few things that reminded Yuna of them. She could not lose it.

She quickened her pace and finally reached the place where she bumped into the guy. She scanned the surroundings and started to panic when she couldn't find it. 'What am I going to do?' she thought.

Dejected, she dragged her feet home. As she walked along the rows of shops, she passed by the cafe that she worked at. Why not vent to her coworked--friend and relieve some stress over a cup of coffee? She smiled at the thought and headed into the cafe.

Then she saw silver hair.

It was the guy she bumped into! Yuna's eyes lit up. 'Maybe he took it!' she thought. Too desperate to worry about losing face, she strode up to him with a big smile on her face.

"Hello there! I'm the girl who bumped into you just now," she said "Did you happen to see my bookmark?"

@s. yuna Namjoon chuckled, he can still hear her muttering as she walks away holding her book close to her chest,'Ahh, i kind of want to know where did she bought it' he thought to himself as he sighed. Back to his own business,he picked up his piece of paper then he noticed something, it was a bookmark.

'Oh,she must've drop this' he thought to himself again, with an intention to keep it, he realised that the girl might need it so he decided to follow the street where the girl went to. As Namjoon kept walking,he has grown tired and hungry,which led him to a coffee shop nearby. He put his things to the table and goes to the counter to order.
He quickly took his seat after ordering,grabbing his camera to look at the pictures he took,smiling sheepishly because it went out great.

@k. namjoon Yuna looked away from the tall male's concerned eyes and focused on the concrete path below her, trying to ignore her ears that were burning up. She silently scolded herself for being so dumb and clumsy, wishing she could kick herself, but then she decided it would be stupid, as she would look like a lunatic and make a fool out of herself again.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine, " she mumbled sheepishly. "Thank you."

She hastily bent down and picked up her open book from the ground, before hugging it close to her chest and briskly walking past the man with her head still hung low. "Argh," she muttered, "why did I do that? That was so embarrassing. Please save me from my own dumb self." She shook her head, hoping to shake away the thought of the scene that just happened, and proceeded to flipping open her book. Nothing better than a good book to take your mind off something, right? When she could not locate the page where she left off, she then realised something. Her bookmark was missing!

The thought of kicking herself arised yet again and she quickly shook it off as she turned around and made her way to place where she utterly humiliated herself.

@s. yuna As Namjoon step out of the cab,he roam his eyes around the place.He just came back from America and currently looking for a place to stay,'Aigoo,should i really go to this address? What if it's fake?' he thought to himself while holding a piece of paper. He continue to walk on the streets,he could feel the gazes of people,whispering about him.Silver haired,black coat,black shirt,black jeans and black shoes—anyone would notice him with an outfit like that, not to mention his noticeable hair and pale white skin.

'Should i get some coffee?' he thought to himself again,'nah,it would be bothersome' as he continue to wander around the place,he stopped for a moment and grab his camera. He loves photography,he even got his own studio,his memory cards are always full, and his photos are aesthetic.

While he was enjoying the place,he felt that someone just bumped on his back,he quickly turned around and saw a girl.He noticed the book which made him thought that this girl is interesting."it's alright,are you okay tho?" he asked.


|| :') mine's lame too

@k. namjoon Yuna emerged from the bookstore with a spring in her step, "The Da Vinci Code" in her hand. Her slender fingers caressed the worn out cover as she smiled in satisfaction in having gotten a good catch. She could not afford many books so she could only get second hands but she was happy to be able to get one. Books were truly a blessing; a portal to a new world of imagination, they had a way of whisking her mind away from reality. Plus, as she read while making her way through town, should she meet an acquaintance, she would have a good reason for not noticing them, thus avoiding any sort of social interaction.

She started flipping through the yellowish dog-eared pages as her feet took steps towards her humble abode. Having lived in this quaint town all 22 years of her life, she knew the streets like the back of her hand, swiftly avoiding the lamp posts and dustbins without looking up from her book. As she walked, her eyes were doing as much exercise as her feet, darting from the left to the right side of the page, after which proceeding to the next line.

Engrossed in the plot, she failed to notice the figure standing in the distance, proceeding to walk straight into his back and falling backwards on her tailbone with her copy of "The Da Vinci Code" falling down with her. Hurriedly, she quickly got back up on her feet before bowing profusely.

"I-I'm so sorry, " Yuna stuttered.

( this is so lame i'm sorry rip )
