Days pass.

On a fine evening.

Yoongi is sitting in the car staring outside. He does not notice Jimin walking to the car from behind.

Jimin steps closer to the car window and knocks on it with his two fingers. Yoongi flinches and gulps nervously as he lowers the window.

Jimin asks, 'Are you following me?'

Yoongi does not respond.

Jimin says, 'Meet me at Cappuccino's. I'll be waiting for you.'
Yoongi asks, 'When?'
Jimin answers, 'Within half an hour.'

Yoongi nods in response. Jimin smiles shyly and walks off.

Yoongi starts the engine and begins to drive towards his house.

Shortly, Yoongi is fixing his hair and checking his final look in the mirror. Ji-Yoon is staring at him.

He asks, 'What?'
She answers, 'I'm gonna go shopping with Amma.'
He says, 'Uh... I'll drive you.'
She says, 'Nope. We'll walk or take the bus.'
He says, 'But... Why? I can drive you.'

Without responding to him, she walks off. He clicks his tongue and follows her downstairs. He spots Mrs Min.

He says, 'Amma... Ji-Yoon said that you both are going shopping.'
She says, 'Ah, we have to buy some personal stuff. We'll go alone.'
He asks, 'Don't I always drive you both?'
She answers, 'Ah, you must be going to meet her. Go ahead.'

He says, 'Amma, come on.' and exhales sharply.

She slowly reaches for Ji-Yoon's hand and says, 'Let's go.'

Ji-Yoon walks out of the house with Mrs Min leaving Yoongi to sigh all alone.

Soon, Yoongi walks into a café. He spots Jimin sipping on a cup of coffee. He walks to Jimin and sits in front of him.

The waiter approaches Yoongi.

Yoongi says, 'Cappuccino.'

He smiles a little and walks off.

Yoongi gulps nervously and stares at Jimin.

A server serves Yoongi's order. He smiles a little and walks off.

Yoongi starts to sip on his coffee.

Jimin says, 'Tell me... Ichaya...'

Yoongi coughs and clears his throat. Jimin chuckles softly in response.

Yoongi breathes deeply and says, 'Tell me.'

Jimin says, 'You gotta tell me.'
Yoongi asks, 'What?'
Jimin answers, 'I have been noticing you for a week now. Why are you following me?'
Yoongi says, 'I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry.'

Jimin keeps the empty coffee cup on the table and asks, 'Why do you feel like following me?'

Yoongi answers, 'My sister likes you.'
Jimin asks, 'What?'
Yoongi answers, 'She showed me a photo of yours and said that she has a crush on you.'
Jimin asks, 'Why are you following me for that?'
Yoongi answers, 'Because... I like you.'

Jimin stares at Yoongi.

Yoongi keeps his coffee on the table and says, 'I never thought that I'd like my sister's crush. I do sound like an arsehole and I really am one. I mean, I lied to my sister saying that you're dating someone already.'

Jimin asks, 'Why do you like me?'
Yoongi answers, 'I seriously don't know.'

Jimin leans forward and says, 'You follow me every day after work because you like me.'

Yoongi nods in response.

Jimin says, 'I met your sister.'
Yoongi asks, 'What? Why? Do you like her or something?'

Jimin chuckles softly and answers, 'No. I just wanted to know why you were following me.'

Yoongi says, 'She doesn't know that I follow you.'
Jimin says, 'She knows that you're trying to woo someone.'
Yoongi asks, 'What?'

Jimin shrugs in response.

Yoongi says, 'I have never proposed to anyone. I don't know how things work. I... I just want you. I do sound ridiculous but it is what it is.'
Jimin says, 'You're brave to say this to my face.'
Yoongi asks, 'Am I?'
Jimin asks, 'What would you do if I'm homophobic?'
Yoongi answers, 'You're too cute to be a homophobe.'

Jimin chuckles shyly making Yoongi blush.

Ji-Yoon is walking in front of the café holding Mrs Min's hand. She spots Yoongi and Jimin as she walks past the café.

Yoongi asks, 'Can I get your number?'
Jimin answers, 'Sure.'

Yoongi hands over his phone to Jimin. The latter shares his number and gives Yoongi's phone back.

Yoongi smiles a little and slides his phone back into his pocket.
