I ran along the road as I whipped my head from side to side and simultaneously checked my iPhone. Spotting the café, I burst through the door and looked around for the lady I was meeting. I got about halfway through looking across the café when my eyes honed in on someone I never thought I would see again. A wave of guilt and excitement washed over me as I walked in the general direction of the person. Taking in a deep breath, I exhaled and put everything on the plate.

“Taemin?” His small and delicate body froze before he turned and looked at me with wide eyes.

“Minho?” I felt a jolt of something strike in me as my name once again rolled off his tongue. I couldn’t believe that after this whole time, I had found him at long last and by chance. He looked amazing. He was slightly more toned since the last time I had seen him and he his face had lost it’s babyishness but he still looked beautiful. I felt my stomach churn as I looked over him.

“What are you doing here?” I asked. I couldn’t help looking over him with admiration. The air around us may have been awkward but I was just about ready to do anything to make it better so that he could take his rightful place in my arms again.

“Um … I’m … um … meeting my boyfriend here,” I noticed him stutter. I couldn’t help but let a frown form on my face. I was shocked that he had found someone so quickly. I hadn’t looked for anyone since. I couldn’t; I hated myself too much. “Why are you here?”

“I’m meeting a business partner,” I croaked out as I watched his eyes harden and his face go red where he was angry. I felt bad but this time I was telling the truth. After Taemin, I hadn’t looked for anything or anyone. I felt too disgusted with myself after that woman came to the door that day. I had shoved her out onto the curb and abandonaed that part of my life for good.

“An actual business partner or a ‘business partner?” His tone surprised me. I couldn’t help but feel offended. I had moved past what I had done and I had change my ways. I reached out and gripped his arm before pulling him up.

“How dare you. How could you have moved on so quickly?” I asked as he yanked his arm out of my grip. The stare he then sent me caused daggers to pierce my heart. I knew he wouldn’t be pleased with me but the hatred he had towards me shocked me.

“It’s been two years Minho,” he spat quickly as he continued to stare me down. I knew it had been a long time since we ended but it takes time to heal. I knew maybe I had taken longer that he had but it was only because I truly treasured him.

“And? I haven’t moved on,” I tried to argue but I knew it was useless. He had moved on and had found another person who could provide him with the happiness I once did and still yearned to provide him with. Suddenly, I noticed my business partner walking our way so I straightened myself out and shook off the hurt feeling so I would represent the company well.

“Mr Choi,” she smiled nicely. Maybe she was the woman who could distract me for a moment. I didn’t want to have to think about Taemin for the moment and I knew if I immersed myself in work, like I normally did, then it would be easier in the long run.

“Ahh, Miss Lim. Shall we take a seat?” I asked as I pushed past Taemin and sat down at the table I had chosen out of the corner of my eye. I had expected Taemin to make a scene but instead, he just stood there in shock as though he was glued to the floor.

As Miss Lim continued to speak about this and that, I couldn’t help but notice she really wasn’t a person I would ever date. I was ashamed of myself for even thinking she could be a distraction from the perfection that was Taemin. Miss Lim wore far too much make up; so much that I felt as though I could draw in it, on her face, with my nail. Her lipstick was a blinding red and it kept smudging when she took a sip of her drink. She had too much bling on as well with a matching Gucci purse and Louis Vuiton shoes. She also had one of the most complicated drink I had ever seen. Luckily it didn’t break my wallet.

I couldn’t help but watch Taemin the whole time. He started by staring holes into Miss Lim and me but then I noticed a change. Disappointment rushed through me when a slim and attractive boy sauntered over to Taemin. His face immediately lit up and it wouldn't take a genius to realise the new boy was Taemin’s lover. The boy guzzled down a muffin Taemin had before they started to talk. All this time, Miss Lim was talking but I couldn’t focus on her. Suddenly the boy looked at me with a hard stare. I knew I deserved it though. Taemin looked at me once and I felt butterflies awake in my stomach again. And then he picked up the boy’s bag and they hurried out of the café. I could feel tears prick in my eyes as I watched them go. I didn’t want to show Taemin, who had just turned to look at me, that I wasn’t over him. It devastated me to know he had moved on but there was nothing else I could do. I had hurt him too badly and the scars still showed.

With an apologetic smile, I excused myself from Miss Lim and hurried to my flat where I could drown myself in alcohol before a fresh start. After seeing Taemin with his new toy boy, I had decided I would move on and forget the past. I didn’t even know Taemin. Who?
