How I met you by All about us

Exhausted had become a part of his routine and he was no exception, couldn’t complain even when his body was screaming for help. It’s been a busy week and a hectic day for him, a meeting with a company where he work for, writing and producing a song in the same time and recording a debut song for the new boy group.

He throws himself on the sofa which is located on the studio where he work, he could feel his entire body give in almost immediately causing him to begin to drift.

He taps his fingers against the steering wheel when his car stopped at the traffic light then leaned his back against the chair and left out a sigh. It was a tiring day, no- it’s still 3 PM but it feels like spent all a years because of his overflowing schedule today.

He looks around him randomly to kills the time, till his eyes caught something. No- someone. A girl waiting for her bus? Brown-eyed, gorgeous long hair and a radiant smile that she seemed to flash at those around her especially when hold a flower bouquet now. She must be really happy now. That smile caught his attention. He could felt that the world melted away and his cheeks rise toward his ears which made the corners of his lips crinkle unconsciously.
He got startled as the loud sound of car’s horns telling him to drive his car

“You still here?”

He open his eyes as he heard someone talking. Snap! He fell a slept.

“You’ve been working 48 hours. Go home and rest”

He nods at the words without saying anything because he was too tired. He should go home and at least get some rest, but for now he really need to drink coffee before he ended up bump into something while driving later.

He didn’t waste any time and quickly get up from the sofa and get his bag then slowly leave the room. He flashes a smile when the staff bow to him. He may look impolite now because he didn’t bows back, but he don’t care. He never care anyway.

“Ice Americano please” he said after scanning the menu, gave up to think more.

He bow after he get his cup then turn around and walk toward the door before he accidentally bumped into someone, half of his Americano poured onto her black shirt.

“ouch!”

He couldn’t close his mouth because he was too shocked when their eyes finally meet, he freeze on his place. ‘Wait- I saw her before somewhere. Ah! That flower girl on the bus stop!’

His brain quickly figured out that they might stand in the way out and interfere some people. His hand quickly grab a tissue from the table but he is holding himself before he ended up touching something that he shouldn’t.

“I- I’m really sorry”

He bow to her.

Seems like she in a hurry, she just smile and quickly walk out.

“Cute” he mumble.

He never meet that girl after that day even when he visit the same café where they accidentally met.

“I guess I won’t meet her again”

He quickly hurried into the lift and pushed the ground floor button, sighing with relief when doors started to close. He manage to slip through the people and get into the lift at the right moment hoping that the board meeting haven’t start yet.

He agreed to produce a song with YMC entertainment for 1 year and today there’s a board meeting for debuting a new boy group named Wanna One.

Ding!

He rushes to the meeting room after the door open. He left out another sigh when he arrived, all people inside the room still talking to each other. Seems like all of the executives were sitting in the spacious meeting room. The long table stretched from the one end of the room to the other, at the moment he made his way to sit at the end of the table. Why the meeting haven’t start yet? He say what’s on his mind unconsciously.

“The Director is late”

The soft voice caught his attention, he turn to see the person next to him. He freeze on his place again in disbelief. That flower girl! “ooh!” he lower his voice

Their eyes meet again as the girl turn around. Now he can see her beautiful brown-eyed made his heart do something strange, his eyes scanning all over her face. She have a pretty eyes, round face, pink lips and a perfect neck line. She was giving him a confused look before he open his mouth again.

“aa- Do you remember me? We Met at the café before” he explain

“Café?” she repeat. Seems like he doesn’t remember anything.

“I accidentally bumped into you and pour Americano on your shirt” he beam an awkward grins.

“Ah that one”

“I’m really sorry. I don’t mean to-“

“It’s okay” she flashes a smile.

An awkward wind fly among them before he continue speak up.

“So, what are you doing here?” a stupid question escape from his lips. Of course because she work here why ask. He want to hit his own head now.

“I work with Design Team and they told me to handle this project”

He nods at her answer “Then you must be good at drawing. Ah- I wish I can draw well like you”

She flashes another smile as bright as the sunshine in early morning and leaned forward him “If you can’t draw then what did you do?”

“I- I wrote song. I mean producing music” he answered nervously while tugging the end of his shirt.

“So you are producer. I’m looking forward to working with you. I’m Joyce Elena Kang”

“Me too. My name is Yuuto. Fujiwara Yuuto”

Just like that- they met again. Accidentally? Destiny? Shrug.

They met a lot in YMC building, getting close, having a lunch together (with another co-workers) even spent a time to discuss a small matter together.

“You are in your world again”

That afternoon, as usual Yuuto working inside the studio checking the song that they will use on recording later. 2 monitors blink in front of his face. His fingers glide across the keys, his eyes never deviate from the screens.

“Anyway you seems close with Joyce”

That words make him spin his computer chair and glance at his friend “why?”

“What is her fave foods? I have a date with her tonight.”

He feels the air being squeezed out of his chest “I don’t know” he quickly answer. He can feel his throat burning but still act like nothing happened.

“eyy come on! You are-“

“Can you get out please? I need to focus on my work” he answered coldly.

~~He just can sighs when he saw both of them leaving YMC building together after working.~~ As long as he can see that smile. That’s enough.

Couple weeks after that, he still work as usual but he realized he haven’t see her around make him worry. What happened with her? He even deliberately sat next to the design team and asked about her but they don’t know anything. He ventured himself to ask her number for a project as excuse.

== let’s cut some story before I ended up writing a novel xD ==

That night, he gather a courage to text her

💌

To: Her

Are you busy? I didn’t see you for couple of weeks. I miss you.

He typed out the message, his thumbs trembling before he pressed the send button. He threw his phone to the bed and rolls in frustrated. What if she didn’t reply? What if she feel uncomfortable with his text? What if she avoid him after this?

“Arrrggggh” he lets out a quiet groan made the fluffy living thing on his room awake and jump on his bed “ooh- Kkumaengie sorry. Did I wake you up hm?” he hugs the tiny fluffy ball on his arms.

He startled when the familiar ring of his cell phone blares his ears, notifying him that he received a text message.

‘1 text message from: Her’

He quickly swipe his screen and read the text he had gotten.

💌

Hey. Uh I’m not really busy hehe I don’t think I will work there again.

💌

To: Her

What happened? You signed with another agency? Or someone pushed you?

💌

Nothing. I just wanna leave, go far away from everyone. That’s all.

💌

To: Her

Where do you wanna go? Take me with you.

💌

Then give me 13 reason why I should take you with me

He smiles before composing a reply back to her.

She back to work again and they meet more often since that. Of course that bring a lot of smile on his face, they spend their time together almost every day. Some people thought that they are date, but actually not. Not really…

That evening, they were spending their time after work on the YMC rooftop talking about random things and laughs a lot.

“Do you have someone in mind?” she asked

“Well uh- I’m not sure” he answered, scratching the back of his head nervously and chuckled “why?”

“I like you”

He froze. He knew he heard correctly but he didn’t know what to do with what he just heard. He showed no reaction.

“I’ll go home first” she mumbled, about to leave the rooftop before he grab her wrist.

“Don’t go please? I need a time. To settle everything and make sure about my feeling. Can you wait for me?”
