Chapter 5 – Three times in a row!

Forever and always in love with you (on hiatus, trying to finish off the whole story as i've left it this long. Sorry for the VERY late updates :-(

“Guys I’m going to the café,” I shouted down to Chloe and Holly whom currently resided within their rooms.

“Again?! God ___ you’ve been there two times already in the space of a few weeks. This is your third time already. Why do you keep on going there?” Chloe asked, popping her head out of her room. You could tell she’s just woken up as her hair was a big mess and ruffled. She was still in her messy, crinkled pink pyjamas with pandas on, her panda slippers finishing off the tired look. 

“I don’t know. I just like how calming it is there and they have my favourite milkshake too so I guess that’s why I like to go.” I mumbled to myself. 

‘…That and there might be a chance I meet Woohyun again,’ I thought.

It was gullible thinking. I mean there’s no way Woohyun will be there. I mean come on, what are the chances of an idol going there on purpose in order to meet a fan. They wouldn’t be able to rest then with fans pestering them all of the time. Some fans must’ve found out that he goes there right?

“Right I’m off then. Do you want anything Holly?!” I shouted.

“No thanks I’m good!”

“Okay! What about you Chloe?”

“Nah I’m okay thank you. Have fun at your café,” Chloe smiled at me.

I smiled back, opened the front door and walked out of the flat into the warm sunny outdoors closing the door behind me.

…..

*At the café*

I open the door to the warm café, the soft aroma of tea and coffee filling the room. I took a deep breath in and out.

‘Boy I do love it here.’ I thought.

I walked to the front counter where the waitress who usually took my order was standing. She noticed me and smiled.

*“Hello, back again are we? What shall I get you today?”* She asked.

*“Hmm can I have banana milkshake to go this time please.”*

*“Sure thing, coming right up. That’s 1,300 won please.”*

I gave the money to the waitress.

*“Thank you. I’ll call you when you’re orders done.”*

*“Thanks”*

I looked around the café, searching for a place to sit. I noticed the table Woohyun sat when I 1st met him. It was vacant, so I decided to sit there. As I sat there listening to the sounds of conversation from people about the cafe, like soft muffled buzzing sounds, I started to day dream. After a few moments I heard the café’s front door open and close. I looked in the direction of the door out of curiosity and saw a somewhat familiar man with a hat and glasses, covering his face.

‘I wonder if it’s Woohyun and he’s trying to disguise himself? 

‘..... Nah stop being ridiculous ___.’ I thought.

The man looked at the table I was sitting at and walked over in my direction. Even though I couldn’t see who this man was my heart couldn’t help but start fluttering at this mysterious stranger. Who is he? What does he want? Many thoughts ran through my head. The man finally reached my table and stopped dead still. I held my breath as he stood there, waiting for something, anything to happen. The man sat down opposite me and looked left and right. When he felt that no one was looking at him he slowly took off his hat and glasses to reveal a flustered and on edge Woohyun, but still as handsome as ever.

*“Hello ___-ssi,”* he whispered to me smiling.

I sat there stunned.

*“You remember me?”* I asked.

*“Of course I remember you. How can I forget a fan who I’ve not only met three times now but a fan who is different from other fans,”* he said smiling at me.

*“What do you mean who is different from other fans?”*

*“I mean a fan who doesn’t demand for an autograph or a picture. A fan who doesn’t constantly pester me, asking questions. A fan who just simply introduced herself and asked if I was resting well. No fan ever did this to me, but you. Because of that you left a good impression of yourself on me.*” Woohyun explained.

I didn’t know what to say.

*“Oh.”*

*“Is that all you can say. Oh.”*

*“I don’t know what to say. I’m sort of stuck for words. What do you say when an idol tells you all of this?”*

I hear my order being called.

*“I’m sorry that’s my order I guess I’ll have to meet you again some other time-”*

*“Or we can go somewhere else together,”* Woohyun butted in before I could finish my sentence.

*“Oh okay. Yeah sure. I’d love to do that.”* I smiled to Woohyun.

After Woohyun ordered and received his drink we both walked out the café.

*“So where to?”* I asked.

*“How about the park?”*

I thought about this suggestion.

*“Hmm… okay yeah sure.”* I nodded to Woohyun.

*“So where’s the park?”* I asked.

*“ It’s across this road, turn right and on the street second from the left.”*

*“Okay. After you.”*

……

We arrived at the park after 5 minutes walking.

*“So what do you want to do at the park?”* I asked Woohyun.

*“Erm… I don’t know really. I just wanted to spend more time with you.”*

I could feel my cheeks burning and I knew I was blushing.

*“Erm… how about we sit down at the bench and talk whilst we finish off our drinks?”*

*“Okay good idea….Now where are the benches?”*

We both looked around the park for a bench. As I scanned the area I spotted a bench a fair distance to the right from where we were standing.

*“How about over there,”* I said pointing to the bench.

Woohyun followed the direction my finger was pointing and spotted the bench.

*“Yeah okay.”*

As we walked over to the bench I caught my left foot on a stone and started to fall forward. Woohyun grabbed onto my right arm at the last minute stopping me from falling.

*“Are you okay?”*

I nodded.

*“Thanks.”*

*“No problem.”*

‘I can’t believe I just did that. That was sooo embarrassing to do that in front of Woohyun!’ I thought to myself as we carried on walking and reached the bench.

When we arrived at the bench we sat down, drank our drinks and enjoyed the scenery that surrounded us.

*“It’s quite nice here,”* Woohyun said.

I nodded.

*“It’s peaceful, and there’s hardly anyone here so you don’t have to worry as much about fans finding out you’re here.”*

Woohyun’s phone started to ring. He took it out of his pocket to see who was ringing him.

*“It’s my manager,”* he explains and answers the call.

*“Hello?.... I’m still on my break…. Do I have to come now?..... Really? Okay fine bye.”*

Woohyun ends the call and turns to look at me.

*“I’m sorry I need to go. My manager wants me back,”* he said with a sad look on his face.

*“Its fine, don’t worry I understand. We can meet up again another time,”* I smile at him.

He smiled cheerfully back at me.

He stood up, turned and was about to leave when he turned to face me again.

*“Can I have your phone number?”*

I was a bit stunned from this question. Woohyun? Wanting my phone number? Was this a dream?!

*“Oh?.. Yeah sure it’s *********.”*

Woohyun typed up my number on his phone as I told it to him. When he was done typing my phone beeped telling me that I had received a text. I took it out of my pocket to see who it was. It was an unknown number. I was slightly confused at first then figured out that it must be Woohyun sending me the text. I opened the text. It read * ‘Hi ___ -ah this is Woohyun ^_^’*. I couldn’t help but smile and giggle a little from the text. I looked up at him and he smiled.

*“Now we can talk to each other whenever we want.”*

I nodded.

*“Okay I’ve got to go now. Text you later, bye,”* Woohyun said waving bye to me whilst walking away.

*“Bye.*”

When he turned the corner and I knew he was gone I jumped in the air in triumph.

 “YES! I’ve got Woohyun’s number!”

I couldn’t help but stare at the text he gave me, smiling.

‘Oh! I better keep his number under a different name just in case I lose it or someone takes it off of me.’

I thought for a while.

‘Hmmm. I know I’ll save him as ___.
