I silently walked into the small cafe that Minho once told me sells the best coffee. I sighed and smiled slightly at Onew who smile when he caught me looking at his direction. I found a seat at the far corner of the cafe, sitting down as Onew sat opposite me and sink into the seat. He drummed his fingers on the porcelain table top. 

I looked through the menu and ordered an iced mocha and a small muffin. Onew just ordered an iced latte and nothing else. He smiled at me, the awkwardness among us both was growing with time. 

"Erm," I began, "Oppa?" 

"Hmm?" He looked up from his drink, smiling. 

"What is it you want? Since you took me out," I pointed out, 

He shrugged, "Just wanted to know someone new?" 

I giggled at how innocent that sounds. "Okay..." 

My muffin came and I ate silently, looking out of the window. 

"Is Singapore something like this?" He asked me, looking at the scene outside. 

The street outside looked like one of the scenes in the Korean dramas I watched. Where there were people walking and minding their own business, everything so calm and collected, like a fantasy. I smiled and shook my head. 

"Singapore is more.....cluttered and rushing in a way..." I smiled, "Korea's better..."

He smiled and nodded.

I sighed and took another sip of drink.

"Hey, Hye Rim?"

I looked up, cocking my eyebrows, "Hmm?"

"Have you ever given a thought of being....you know...in love?"

I almost spit the sip of coffee out.

"W-what?"  I managed to choke out, "I...I never really..."

He smiled and shook his head and then bowed in apology, "I'm sorry... I was just asking. I didn't mean to get to you,"

I smiled and nodded.

"Its okay...Its just... It has been some time...."

Since I last put my trust on someone and got cheated on the following day, I thought, looking away.
