"Ooooh you did that!? Damn bro, you making big moves now"

"Shut up", Jaemin groaned.

"She's your soulmate isn't she?"

"Yeah, but she hasn't realize it yet"

"Then go tell her yourself!"

"I rather let fate decide what to do", Jaemin smiled teasingly. "She'll find out soon"

"I doubt it. Yeonri looks smart and all, but she's actually dumb"

"Instead of roasting my future girlfriend, how about you focus on finding your own soulmate Hyuck? Hearing you whine about everyone finding their soulmate is getting annoying already"

"But I don't know where she is!"

"Not my problem, bye Donghyuck"

"Fuck you Jaemin! Seriously!"

Donghyuck sighed, feeling defeated although nothing really happened. "What if I don't even have a soulmate? Is fate really that mean to me?"

"I have a class coming out though...I should get some coffee then", Donghyuck yawned. "I stayed up way too late playing League again"

Donghyuck entered the café he usually went to, and went straight up to the cashier ordering for himself a cup of coffee.

While he waited for his coffee sitting down, he looked around the café in boredom. He was gonna go on his phone until someone came up to him.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"

"No it isn't -", Donghyuck looked up and choked on his own saliva after recognising who it was. "N-no you can't - I mean you can take the table- seat!! Yeah haha..."

"Okay then?", the girl raised an eyebrow at him, before sitting down opposite of him.

Now, the reason why Donghyuck was so surprised was because this girl, currently in front of him, busy with her phone, now sparing a look at him,

Is the same exact girl that he accidentally bumped into the other day.

And the girl who undoubtedly made Donghyuck speechless because he has never thought that such a pretty girl would exist.

But then again, it seems like she doesn't remember who he is.

"Maybe it's better off like that, she DID get pretty mad at me last time...", he mumbled quietly to himself.

Meanwhile, the girl noticed and looked weirded out. She was contemplating whether to change to another table, and wondered why did she even chose to sit with some weirdo like him.

Weird...he looks familiar though.

After some time, the girl's order was called and she got up to get it.

"An iced americano for Kim Rena!"

"Yes, thank you!", the girl grabbed her order and walked away.

She was walking back to the table, until suddenly she tripped on a wiring. Losing her balance, she wasn't able to hold onto her cup of coffee for much longer until it was sent flying through the air and undoubtedly fell on...

"Gah! What the heck!?", Donghyuck got up from his seat feeling cold liquid seeping through his clothes.

The girl who was wide-eyed quickly walked in front of him. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. Let me help you clean up"

"A-ah, no it's alright-"

"It's not! I insist-", she looked up to face the stranger, and went even more wide-eyed after noticing who it was.

"Oh, it's you...the one who bumped into me the other day"

"Yeah, I already noticed that from the beginning", Donghyuck rubbed his nape as the two stood awkwardly.

"To think we meet again in the same circumstances...is this what a deja vu feels like?"

"Pft...haha...hahahahaha!!"

"What's so funny?", the girl frowned, questioning as to why he was still standing completely soaked in coffee without even going to the toilet.

"It's just, I think with this...we're both equal now right? I made you spill your coffee the other day making your shirt get stained, and today it seems you took revenge on me"

"I would never do-"

"I know I know, it was just a joke. No need to get so serious okay?", Donghyuck smiled, which undoubtedly made the girl's heart skip a beat.

"Still...I feel kinda bad for doing that to you"

"It's fine. Though, if you wanna repay me back..."

Donghyuck extended a hand in front of her, making the slightly shorter girl dumbfounded. "I'm Lee Donghyuck, what about you?"

"O-oh...", the girl shook his hand in reply. "I'm Kim Rena, nice to meet you", she said timidly, the last part sounding almost like a whisper.

"Well Rena, wanna help me wash my shirt?", he smiled.

"It's the least I can do for you, I guess..."

Why am I even acting like this? Why do I feel so fuzzy inside..., Rena questioned herself.

"Great! We gotta go quickly then, I have class in half an hour. By the way, you tired?"

"What?"

"You ordered an americano, just like the other day. Something tells me you aren't getting enough sleep, are you?"

"I-! How did you know?"

Donghyuck shrugged. "Just a hunch"

"It's alright though, I can sing a lullaby for you the next time we meet", Donghyuck winked.

"Is that your way of asking me to a date?"

"Yes? No? Maybe? We'll see, sugarcube"
