Lisa was frozen when she and the stranger's eyes met. Lisa never admitted to herself that she could actually be attracted to the same but seeing this person in front of her just confirmed it. She never had any serious girl crush except for her best friend.

 

"Today is the worst." The girl groaned and Lisa snapped out of her trance and handed the napkin to her.

 

"I'm really sorry, miss. It's my fault." Lisa said, biting her lip embarrassingly. "Please, let me make this up to you."

 

The girl sighed as she closed her eyes while shaking her head.

 

"It's fine, you don't have to." The girl dismissively said and started walking to the door.

 

Good thing Lisa was thinking fast. She took off her jacket and walked fast enough to catch up with the stranger.

 

"Please, take this." Lisa blocked the girl's way and handed her jacket to her. "You know, to...cover the mess." She sheepishly chuckled.

 

The girl stared at Lisa for a short second before taking the jacket with a side-smile.

 

"Thank you." The girl said and took the jacket.

 

"I'm really sorry about that. Please let me treat you with anything you want." Lisa said, kind of sounding desperate.

 

"No, it's fine, really." The girl chuckled as she was waving her hand dismissively.

 

Lisa felt at ease seeing the girl smile.

 

"I'm Lisa." She extended her hand for a handshake.

 

"Yoo Jimin." The girl took Lisa's hand and shook it.

 

"I know another cafe around here, I was wondering if you would want to drink somewhere else since...it's kind of awkward being here after what happened." Lisa sheepishly said, scratching the back of her head embarrassingly.

 

"Yeah, sure." Jimin smiled.

 

"Great, after you." Lisa opened the door for Jimin and she walked behind her. "I don't think I've seen you around before." Lisa started as they started walking.

 

"Well, that's because I'm new here." Jimin smiled.

 

"Right, of course." Lisa nodded and there was a short silence before she broke the ice again. "I'm really sorry about earlier. I was busy with my phone, I didn't notice anyone was around me."

 

"If I hear another apology from you, I might as well charge you for every sorry you say." Jimin joked.

 

"I'm sorr—" Lisa stopped in the middle of her sentence when she realized what she had just said and Jimin laughed. "Damn it."

 

"I was just kidding." Jimin chuckled.

 

"But really, I'm sorry." Lisa lightheartedly chuckled and secretly glanced at Jimin.

 

"It's fine, you're kind enough to lend me your jacket." Jimin smiled and glanced and Lisa, catching the latter staring at her but Lisa immediately looked away.

 

"I just think it's the right thing to do." Lisa glanced at Jimin and smiled at her. "Oh, we're already here." Lisa pointed at the cafe and they both went inside.

 

After ordering, they found a table for them.

 

"So, are you studying? Working?" Jimin asked.

 

"Studying. I'm in my last year of college. What about you?" Lisa asked back.

 

"I'm a sophomore." Jimin smiled. "I guess I should be paying my respect to my senior at school then." She joked.

 

"Oh, no. I'm not that kind of person. I like things that are casual." Lisa lightheartedly chuckled. "What school are you in anyway?"

 

"Chanseung University."

 

"What are the odds, we go to the same school!" Lisa exclaimed and Jimin chuckled. "I'm sorry, it's been so long since I made friends." She shook her head embarrassingly.

 

"So you're trying to say that you're tired of your friends?" Jimin joked.

 

"Not really, but I already know them well. I miss the feeling of knowing and meeting someone new."

 

"I'm glad that I'm fit for the position, I guess." Jimin shrugged and Lisa laughed.

 

"I like you already." Lisa said as she laughed but she immediately realized what she had said and Jimin was kind of caught off guard by what Lisa had said. "I-I mean I like your vibe." She elaborated. "I think you're cool." Lisa said, keeping her cool this time.

 

"Do you think your friends will like me?" Jimin smirked.

 

"Maybe?" Lisa shrugged. "Don't you have any friends?"

 

"I just moved here, remember?"

 

"Oh, right. Well, at school though?"

 

"I'm still having a hard time making friends since almost everyone here knows one another already while I'm the only one who doesn't know everybody," Jimin said. "Not so cool now, huh?" She halfheartedly chuckled.

 

"They just don't know you yet." Lisa smiled.

 

"Order 20, Lisa?" the barista called and Lisa excused herself first to get their order then she cautiously went back to their table so she wouldn't spill the drink this time. Jimin chuckled at how Lisa looked as she was walking closer to her with the tray in her hand.

 

"You're fine, no one's around you this time." Jimin teased.

 

"Better be careful than sorry." Lisa chuckled as she sat down, laying the tray on the table.

 

"You didn't have to do this but thank you." Jimin said.

 

"You sounded pissed off earlier so I thought a drink would cool your head, and it's because of me anyway so I definitely need to make it up to you so thank you for letting me do this."

 

"My whole day was just ruined and having a cup of iced coffee spilled on me didn't help at all but who am I to be mad, I'm just new here. Everyone might just hate me if I kept the attitude."

 

"What happened to your day if you don't mind me asking?" Lisa asked as she took a sip of her coffee.

 

"My roommate stole my drink in the fridge even if I put a label with my name on it. And take note, I made the label big enough to be readable but when I came back, it was gone!" Jimin exasperatedly sighed. "She wouldn't even admit it. It's just the two of us there! Who does she think she's fooling?!" Lisa silently laughed. "Great, now you're laughing." Jimin sarcastically said.

 

"I'm sorry. I just thought it's funny."

 

"And why is that?"

 

"Because that's how kids bicker."

 

"I'm an independent young adult, okay. It's hard for me to be away from my family and yet she has the guts to steal my stuff. She could've asked me, you know?"

 

Lisa just laughed, shaking her head. It suddenly made her remember how she and Jennie used to fight over simple things when they were just kids.

 

"Hey, since I'm new around here, why don't you give me a tour if you're not busy?" Jimin asked and Lisa was caught off guard by Jimin's boldness. "I mean, of course not now but when you have the time. What do you say?"

 

"Y-yeah, sure."

 

"Cool." Jimin smiled and pulled out her phone from her pocket. "I'll give you a call when I'm free." She gave the phone to Lisa so the latter could put the number on her phone.

 

Once Lisa was done, Jimin checked the number, and seconds later, Lisa received a message.

 

[Unknown Number]
Jimin~ ;)

 

Lisa snickered and put her phone back in her pocket.

 

"So, um, thank you for the treat, Lisa. I better get back to the dorm, I'll see you around, yeah?" Jimin stood up and Lisa followed.

 

"Of course." Lisa nodded with a smile.

 

"Oh, um, your
