KPOP ONE SHOTS

#8 ~ Jinwoo ~ Winner ✔︎

You could feel it in the air. Something will happen. You don't know what it is but for some reason you can feel it coming. Today, you spent almost your whole day strolling around through the streets without going in some shops or buying anything. Just walking around in the big city. It was a day were you're lost in your own thoughts, thinking about life.

It was afternoon, almost evening and you decided to drink something in a cute coffee shop on the other side of the street. It looks cozy and the moment you stepped inside, the atmosphere gave you something special, something refreshing. You took place on a table near the window and looked at the menu. You didn't know what to order, too many choices. You were still trying to pick something among the list of coffee and other drinks when the barista came to your table.

"Can I take your order miss?" He asked, without remembering you. You also didn't recognise his voice at first, but when you looked up at him, you saw his face and immediately knew it was wrong to come here. This was wrong. "Jinwoo?" His name accidentally slipped from your tongue, you regretted saying it and showed it by covering your mouth with your hand. This will cause trouble.

Jinwoo didn't know you, or at least he thought he didn't, so he just gave you a confused gaze. You didn't say anything else and just stared in his eyes for a second, while he continued his job: "Have you decided what you want to order?" He asked again. You quickly looked back at the menu with red cheeks as if you were caught doing something stupid. "U-Uh... I-I ... An Iced Americano p-please." Completely out of sorts, you stuttered your order towards him, while he nodded and went back to prepare it for you.

You sighted and looked outside, being embarrassed. Your cheeks were still as red as tomatoes and you couldn't believe he just forgot you. How? How could he forget you? For these two questions there was only one simple answer: Amnesia. You knew it wasn't his fault, since you're the cause of this, but deep down inside you really hoped he would recognise you.

A few minutes later Jinwoo came back with your order and you thanked him while paying for it. "Thank you Y/N-ssi..." He said, accepting the money, but saying your name in a confused way, as if he said it for the first time. Your eyes went big and they went to his. Did he remember you? "J-Jinw-" You immediately stop yourself. If you say his name once more, even if it's just in your head, you'll go crazy for him.

"You remember m-my name?" You carefully asked him, trying to not be attacked by his flawless looks. He's as handsome as the first time you met him. "No... Yes... I don't know. I just know it?" He said, clearly not understanding the whole situation. He got nervous and quickly got back to work, leaving you confused, but flustered. Inside, he's feelings some vibrations in his chest. There's something unusual about this girl, he thinks and couldn't leave the thought alone, for the whole time you were there in the coffee shop.

When you were standing up to go home, it was already dark and the shop was about to close, so you quickly leaved. Once outside, you looked around for a bit. It's been a long time since you saw Jinwoo, but honestly... it felt like you lost him yesterday. The pain from that day, that awful accident, was still making scars in your soul. Sometimes, you end up crying thinking about it, but no matter how badly you want to change the past, you can't and it's slowly killing you. You want him back in your life.

"Wait, Y/N-ssi!?" You heard from behind you, immediately stopped your feet from walking home and you turned around. You could feel your heart beating heavily when you locked eyes. He was wearing his coat and it looked like he was done working. "Jinwoo?" Your voice was soft, while he came closer towards you. "I want to ask you something..."

You didn't say anything and he continued: "I don't know what it is, but something about you feels so familiar. I've never seen you before, but I know your name. Please tell me... Do I perhaps know you?" He waited for your answer, stared intensely in your eyes, but you couldn't just tell him. You've sworn you would never talk to him ever again. The long silence made the answer very clear for Jinwoo: "So I do know you?"
