Destined Love | Min Yoongi

Chapter 24

❀

"Earth to Ae-Young." I suddenly heard, then saw a hand waving in front of me. "Anyone home?"

"Sorry, Soomin....I was just a little out of it." I replied, looking towards my friend with an attempt at a smile. She nodded her head lightly, while gesturing to the door in front of us. "Is this the place?"

"Sure is." She replied, looking super excited. I opened the door, wide enough for us both to enter the café that Soomin's soulmate was supposed to be in.

After Soomin walked in, I followed slowly behind her, until she stopped. I looked at her, seeing her eyes scanning the tables in search of her soulmate. But she didn't have to look any further, as just at that moment a loud, yet cheerful, voice called her name.

"Soomin!" I heard someone basically shout. I couldn't help but smile at the similarity to what Soomin usually does. They are soulmates. "Over here!"

I watched and walked slowly behind Soomin, who you could say ran as fast as the wind, to greet her soulmate. Once again, I couldn't help but smile widely at the sight of the two. Both were hugging each other tightly, with a slight blush on their cheeks. Already it seems, both are smitten with one another.

"C'mon Ae-Young, while we're still young." Soomin whined, pulling me over to the table. I giggled slightly at her actions, and let myself be dragged by the girl who seemed to have an almost child-like excitement, seemingly unable to wait until myself and her soulmate would finally become aquatinted.

"He-

"No no, I'm introducing here." Soomin quickly interrupted the girl in front of me, before she could even get two words out. "Eunha, this is my best friend, Ae-Young. And Ae-Young, is my Eunha- wait..."

I noticed Soomin's eyes widen and face suddenly becoming bright red, after she slipped up in her introduction. Usually, I would've teased her a bit for it. But today, I think I'll let her off the hook.

"Ae-Young, it's lovely to meet you, at last." Eunha replied, smiling sweetly. "Would you prefer to maybe sit down?"

"Oh, yeah...." I replied, managing not to stutter. I hurriedly pulled out a seat, while Ae-Young had slumped down into her own, still drowning in embarrassment.

"Soomin, it's okay...." I heard Eunha whisper to my once embarrassed friend. But the moment her soulmate lightly kisses her cheek, it all went away. Instead though, was replaced by another blushing Soomin, only now it was from a good place.

"S-so what's everyone having?" Soomin replied, trying to recover from the past few moments. "I think I'll have a nice cappuccino, what about everyone else?"

"I'll go for a latte, maybe." Eunha thought to herself aloud. "You know what, I might actually have a cappuccino too. And you, Ae-Young?"

"Maybe some tea...." I replied quietly, still feeling a little awkward around the new person. She nodded her head in reply, before raising her hand slightly to grab the attention of a staff member. Had they already looked at the menu beforehand?

"And everyone knows what they're ordering for lunch, yeah?" She added. No. I looked to Ae-Young, seeing no distress from her. Me on the other hand, a totally different story.

I quickly grabbed the menu, as I frantically scanned its contents. I could've easily just told Soomin to tell her soulmate I wasn't ready, but let's be honest, there's no way I'd be able to tell her myself. I feel like I would be bothering them unnecessarily, as they seem completely content without even glancing at the menu. I didn't want to keep them waiting any longer, so I mentally chose a dish that looked familiar, as a waiter reached our table.
