The guy blinks at Jihoon with sparkling eyes of his, a glint of recognition can be seen.

"Wait, aren't you that guy who always takes the train around this time every evening?" asked the guy softly, not wanting any attention than they already attract before.

Jihoon is in complete surprise because he never notices the guy before but the guy knew him, knew his commuting pattern and isn't that weird…?

"Y-yeah, that's me…" replied Jihoon, doesn't have a clue on what the guy wants after knowing the fact.

"I knew it. I see you every weekday in the same carriage, at the same time too. I recognize you since I see you around all the time…" said the guy casually.

Jihoon doesn't mind the guy being friendly, not after seeing what he did earlier. Jihoon smiles at the guy and the guy's cheeks can be seen in visible pink blush. Jihoon finds it cute.

"I'm Jihoon. Lee Jihoon…"

"Choi Seungcheol… Nice to finally know you…" the guy named Seungcheol finally returns his smile with that eyes-disappearing, bright gummy smile of his.

[This train is now approaching Geumho Station. The doors will be on your left. Please remain calm until the train stops.]

The announcement breaks the friendly environment between them, making Jihoon realized that it's finally his stop to board off the train.

"This is my stop…" said Jihoon weakly before heading towards the doors. The train finally slows down and jerks to a halt before opening the doors and he quickly steps outside, carefully landing his feet on the platform and quickly giving a way to the other passengers.

Jihoon stops and turns around to see Seungcheol still on board but standing in front of the carriage's door, looking at him. The indication song stops and the chain of bell starts to ring, the same cycle repeat itself before he can hear Seungcheol's screaming too loud, attracting more attention than they already had before.

[This train is now heading…]

"See you tomorrow   "

[…towards Apgujeong Station. Please remain calm…]

"   on the same carriage   "

[…for the train to start moving again.]

"   at the same time!"

Jihoon quickly makes his way out of the station, pretending to not know Seungcheol and what he did just now is not for him. He nestles himself deeper into his scarf wrapping around his neck to hide that visible pink blushes on his cheeks.
