Today I went to the café and I saw you sitting there, with your coffee, laughing with your friends.
You don't know how much that made me smile inside.
But I sat at my own table and pulled out my laptop to begin typing up my column for the newspaper.
I don't know if you looked at me, with my messy hair and a plain top with jeans, but you probably didn't notice me.
That's okay though.
You hardly know me.
Although I know you through and through.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight I made my wish about you instead of my usual wish.
It probably won't come true.
My wishes never do.
But at least I have a chance now.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You looked really cute today in school.
Your hair was all styled and you had put an effort into your appearance.
That surprised me.
You usually don't ever care.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We were paired by Mr Hyun for our chemistry project.
I have a few textbooks at home that we could use.
And maybe we could go to the café to study?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot to ask you:
Why weren't you in chemistry class?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The moon looks beautiful tonight.
Surely you must have seen its glow.
It's full and a silvery colour and all I can think about is sitting on my balcony under the rose arch kissing you.
But that will never happen.
because my wish won't come true.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good morning.
I bought you your Caramel Macchiato
Don't thank me, and don't pay me back.
My honour, not yours.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You thanked me for the Macchiato and asked me how I knew.
I said "Because when I go to the café and see you, it's all you buy."
You then said "Oh. I never noticed you. What's your name?"
and then I crumbled inside.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought you knew who I was.
We have been in the same chemistry class for three years and you don't know my name?
That stung Jungkook, that stung.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went home this evening and cried, my pillow stained with my tears.
But I became more productive and wrote some more of my newspaper column.
and then I baked some cookies and felt a lot better.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a box of cookies for you if you want it.
You probably won't have it but I don't mind if you take it or not.
Hobi really wants some so I will give it to him if you reject it.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't expect you to accept it.
I hope you like it.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walked past your locker today and saw you kissing Choi Jaewon
I felt a pang of jealousy, longing for it to be me you were kissing, but then I realised I was a stranger to you.
Just another student walking through the halls.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At lunch, I sat on the field with Hobi and he spoke to me about you.
He said, "Do you like Jungkook?"
I said "Umm... No."
I don't know why I lied.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went to the Café after school, alone, and you weren't there, as I expected.
But it was nice to sit at a table with the Dahlia in full bloom and watch all the cyclists ride past on their colourful bikes.
I saw Jaewon walk past.
He looked like he was in a hurry.
- Jimin
It's Saturday at last.
Today is the day I hand in my column.
Fingers crossed it's okay.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
What were you doing at the publishers?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you had left, I asked the CEO and he said you were the new paper boy.
That made me smile.
I didn't think you were the kind of person to do that sort of work.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You cycled past me with Jaewon sat behind you.
Is he your boyfriend now?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I told my mum that you are the new paper boy.
She knows that I have a crush on you.
She said, "It was meant to be."
I said, "Don't be silly, mum."
But inside I thought 'Maybe it was.'
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This evening I went with Hobi to the drive-in.
But we lay down a picnic blanket and ate some pizza while watching a movie and it was really nice.
It was good to be with my best friend for once, considering I never go out after dark.
I saw you at the drive-in with Jaewon
You were making out in the back of your truck.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you said good morning to me today, I felt warm and fuzzy inside. I didn't expect you to notice me, considering Jaewon looks like your boyfriend according to the current situation.
The CEO of the newspaper contacted me to say that I can do another column, this time one about the carnival that's coming to town.
maybe we could go on the Ferris Wheel together and talk about sweet things?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to the grocery store today I bought some fruit for my mum to make an apple and blackcurrant pie.
When I was at the checkout, I saw Jaewon.
But he wasn't with you.
he was with Zai.
and they were making out.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the carnival today.
I hope you will be there.
maybe I will buy you a hot dog :)
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The carnival was amazing!
I took so many photos and had a load of fun.
That was until I saw you crying at the picnic bench.
I walked over to you and said: "Hey Jungkook, are you okay?"
You looked up at me with such sad eyes and it made heartbreak.
"Jaewon cheated on me." You replied.
"I know... I saw him and Zai." I said, sitting next to you.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Because I didn't want you to get hurt Jungkook."
and then, in that moment, you grabbed my hand and said: "Can we go on the Ferris wheel? Together?"
and I replied: "Yes."
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Going on the Ferris wheel with you was amazing.
It was nighttime, and the sky was clear.
The moon, like the other night, had a soft radiant glow, that illuminated your face and made you seem calmer.
As it stopped at the top, you named all of the constellations you could see: Orion, Cassiopeia, the great bear and more.
You absolutely mesmerised me.
The way you could name all those constellations, made me feel so proud of you, and even more in love with you.
And then when you leant in and kissed me, time stood still.
I felt whole.
You began and continued my infinity.
- Jimin
"Thank you." was what you said to me as we parted ways to our separate streets.
I was buzzing, the summer breeze gently waving my hair behind me, my camera around my neck.
You don't know how amazing you made me feel.
That was until I saw Jaewon, and then my world crashed to oblivion,
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
He asked me what I was doing with you.
When I replied "I hardly know him." he called me a liar.
and I was a liar.
I know well, you just don't know it.
He said he got pictures of us sharing our kiss.
He called me a slut.
He slapped me around my face.
Crying, I ran off as quickly as I could to find you, but you were out of sight.
So I walked home, wishing for death.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cried myself to sleep
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This morning when I got to school, I said hello and you walked right past me.
I thought that maybe you didn't realize I walked past.
So I said hello again and you turned around and then back again.
It was like nothing ever happened between us.
It was like infinity can only last a finite time, and that shouldn't be the case.
What's wrong?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat at the table behind you at lunch, trying to make conversation but you were having none of it.
You continued talking to your friends as though I didn't exist.
Why Jungkook?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In chemistry class, you talked to me.
You even smiled.
But I could see the pain in your eyes.
Jaewon had told you he had seen us, and I could tell from the sadness that your aura radiated.
I didn't want to make it any worse.
So in the end, I didn't wait for you like I was going to; I just left.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I literally bumped into a guy called Hoshi on my way home.
He apologised and asked me my name.
I replied with my name and then we exchanged numbers.
I know it sounds dangerous Jungkook, but he seems so friendly and so kind.
He promised to buy me a KitKat as an extra apology.
- Jimin
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was talking to Hoshi, and it turns out he's literally about to join our school.
I'm really happy.
He seems so kind.
and we have very similar interests.
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You asked me if I wanted to go to the Café with you to do the Chemistry project today after school.
I easily agreed - I couldn't think of a better place to study, considering it has such a relaxed atmosphere.
Here's the ultimate question though: Will you buy a coffee or a Caramel Macchiato?
- Jimin
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was so nice to spend time with you at the Café, not having to worry about anything, and just being ourselves.
Minus the fact that we had a chemistry project to finish.
You got a Caramel Macchiato in the end, which I thought would be the most likely option considering you love them so much.
When you saw Jaewon walk in arm in arm with Zai, your face dropped, your heart plummeted to oblivion and your eyes went dim.
They lost their sparkle for a moment.
I could see in your expression how much of a hit that was to your dignity.
It made me feel bad for you.
But after they got their takeouts and left, you lightened up again, continuing the conversation in a much happier tone.
it's funny what love can do, isn't it?
