thirteen

hell is where i dreamt of u and woke up alone

It all started when Sojung went to check out the new café nearby her dorm that had just opened since she's a big fan of coffee. A really- big fan of coffee, if one might add. 

She entered the café with little to big expectations, her eyes roamed around the small yet spacious space that was actually very nicely and aesthetically designed. The first thing that came to her mind was this place is just Instagram feed worthy, not that she was complaining. The atmosphere was cozy, warmed toned colors all round complimented by the bitter-sweet smell of delicious coffee that she's always loved and appreciated no matter where she was. 

Without wasting any more time, she quickly went up to the counter to order a drink. Her eyes focused on the menu above trying to make a lucky guess for which first drink would be best for her.  

Sojung has always been the clumsy and nerve-wracked type of person, so that meant her anxiety never let her live. The red-haired girl tried hard to focus quickly on the menu above her but the minute she heard footsteps creeping up behind her all of a sudden all of her attention span got cut short.  

She began to impatiently tap her left foot; her eyes began to quiver from each menu listing to another and if she bit her bottom lip any harder it'd probably bleed. Being Sojung, she felt bad for making the person behind her wait (even though that latter literally just came in and lined up behind her)- so she turned around... only to be greeted with a beautiful pair of brown orbs. 

"Sorry but d-do you want to order first? I can't decide what to get," Sojung stuttered. 

The girl only smiled sheepishly, "You should try their Espresso, it's delicious."  

Before Sojung could turn around and take her suggestion, the latter was already beside her and ordered 2 Espressos', one for herself and the other presumably for Sojung. 

Realizing that the girl had already paid for the order Sojung snapped out of her thoughts (of how beautiful this girl is) and ped her purse to pay her back.  

But like in those pesky hetero normalized dramas, the stranger girl stopped Sojung, their eyes meet, time stopped and the stranger girl sheepishly smiled again.  

"It's on me." she simply said within her charming smile accompanied by a wink. 

If Sojung had a weak heart, she would probably be dead by now.  But thankfully she still lived and was able to thank the girl for the sudden act of kindness. 

"So, does a pretty girl like you have a name?"  

She called me pretty.... As weird as that question sounded, because everyone obviously has a name, don't they? Sojung was still starstrucked by the fact that she called her pretty. 

"I-it's Sojung- What about you?"  

"Yuna, Choi Yuna. Sometimes people call me Yuju, though."  

"Oh... what do I call you then?"  

"Anything you like, Yuna, Yuju, Yours- I mean- Yuna or Yuju is just fine."  

"Yuna is a pretty name"  

"Prettier when you say it." 

"What?"  

"Nothing, Yuna it is." 

"2 Espressos' for Yuna!!" The barista called out and Yuna immediately went to get their drinks. 

The latter came back with a big excited smile plastered on her face. "Here you go." Sojung reached out for her cup but for some reason Yuna retreated her hand with a pout. 

"Not so fast pretty face"  

The red-haired girl quirked her left eyebrow in question, "Will I ever get to see you again?" Yuna asked. 

"That's if you want to see me again..." Sojung whispered, "if fate wants us to be together, then we shall"  

Yuna couldn't help but let out a chuckle when she heard that line come out of Sojung's pretty lips, but she also couldn't help but melt at it too. 

Yuna then handed Sojung her coffee and informed her that she had to go to her classes. They bid their final goodbyes and that was that.  

That's how Sojung fell in love with Choi Yuna, over a cup of coffee and pretty brown eyes. 

"And you still have doubts, Sojung? Get a grip!! Where's your phone? I'm calling her right now!" Yerin roared in their room as soon as Sojung finished her last sentence of the story on how she first encountered Yuna. 

Sojung was quick to grab her phone before Yerin could, "What are you going to say? Wait, I don't even have her number!"  

"I do" Sinb quietly added. 

"I'm going to set the two of you up that's what I'm going to do! Babe, give me her number."  

"Wait wait wait let's all just calm down alright" Sinb tried to calm down the hectic atmosphere inside their dorm. "Sojung, have you seen her lately? Did 'fate' want you guys to be together?" She continued, using air quotations fingers while she's at it. 

"I have, but I don't even think she remembers me well enough to realize that..."  

"Yuna can be really oblivious sometimes, all she does all day is sing and day dream. It's not your fault that she's not aware of her surroundings"  

Sojung on kept herself mum not knowing what to respond. And all of a sudden, Sinb clapped her hands loudly like she remembered something.  

"Sojung, what were you wearing that day?"  

"I don't remember... um- I think I was wearing my black short cut jeans and a white t-shirt, why?"  

Sinb immediately got up from her sitting position and rushed to the door. "Babe! I'll call you later I gotta go meet someone real quick, I love you!"  

"I love you too...?" Yerin lowly replied and the sound of the door shut close silenced throughout the whole dorm room. 

"What was that about?"  

"I don't know."
