BGM suggestion: BTS - 'Epiphany' (lofi mix) by Smyang

 

Ji Min stands with his hands in the pockets of his jean. His posture is very neat; back straight, shoulders pulled back and head high up. Even his feet have a precise position, like a ballet dancer. He changed out of what I suppose are his "shop clerk clothes": black suit pants and a fluid and loose bluish blouse displaying various patterns. I didn't pay attention the first time I entered the Magic Shop and only noticed this outfit on my second visit yesterday. Now he's wearing black tight jeans and a fit grey sweater, waiting for me to arrive. I thought I was as comfortable with Ji Min as I was with Tae Hyung and Jung Kook. But truth be told, there's something a bit intimidating about him when he's not smiling. I think it's the eyes. “H-Hi!” I try to greet the man confidently. In response, he bares each one of his teeth to give me on of the brightest good afternoon I ever received, “How have you been since yesterday, Seo Min?” There it is. The smile. How can he smile like that? “Good, thank you. And you?” “I'm good too! Thanks.”

I return his smile before turning to the direction I came from. Tae Hyung and Jung Kook are still standing in front of the building, shaking their arms in the air. We wave back at them and saunter towards the exit of the campus.

“What was going on back there?” Ji Min questions, covering the sound of our footsteps.
