I need to throw up.

Taehyung was coming to Seoul today and he had already arranged a time and place for us to meet. I didn't know if I was scared or excited but I did know that I felt like I needed to vomit. Needed to empty my stomach, like it was a way to empty my emotions.

I even skipped school because I was that nervous. Taehyung was all I could think about no matter how hard I tried to push him to the back of my mind, so what good will I get out of going to school today? Its not like I was going to be able to learn anything new.

It was 2:45 pm now and I was at a nearby convenience store buying myself a cool drink in hopes that it would calm my nerves somehow. It was a little bit hot today considering the fact that we were in the early spring days.

I was in the mood for something a little sour, so I decided to go for a seven-up but for some reason I literally could not find it anywhere.

"Looking for something?"

I turned back to see a face that was probably brighter than my future. A face that was the epitome of good looks.

"Hey jin"

He smiled at me and it nearly blinded me if I had to be honest, how were his teeth that white? Did he use bleach instead of toothpaste or something?

"So how's my favorite yura doing?"

"She's fine" what the heck am I saying?

"I mean I'm fine" I said trying to laugh it off. Thankfully jin joined in making the situation less awkward.

"So what are you looking for?" He asks.

"Something like a seven up or sprite"

"I think they're on the bottom shelf"

I looked down to see that he was rightーI squatted to get myself a can, forgetting that my shirt was a bit cropped and that its end was at the hem of my sweatpants.

I usually wore a hoodie with this shirt but today I forgot to and to make matters worse, I stretched my arms to get a can from the back since they were colder. To sum it up I could already tell that a portion of my back was showing.

I got up to see that Jin was already staring at me and that he had a tiny blush forming on his cheeks tooーdid my ass crack show?

I looked down to see that my sweatpants were properly tied. It was weird but I just shrugged it off and decided to not think about it too much and to let this moment accumulate with all my other cringe worthy moments.

"So what are you going to get?" I asked trying to put the situation past us but jin seemed to be a bit dazed.

"Hey jin" I said waving my hand in front of his face.

"Y-Yeah I was looking for some drinks too" he says

"You see, my cousin is coming from busan today and he told me that he wanted to drink something that was only sold in seoul"

"Okay cool, I'll help you"

We started looking for drinks that were 'only sold in seoul' which I had no idea how to fucking do because I didn't have a list of drinks that were sold in busan. It was quite interesting how jin's cousin was coming to seoul on the same date as Taehyung. They were even from the same city.

"Hey Yura"

"Yeah?"

"Wanna hear a joke?" Jin asks his smile reaching the end of both sides of his face.

"Um okay sure" I've heard many of Jin's dad jokes before and honestly most of the time I laughed because of his laugh and how he found his own jokes funny. It was quite admirable honestly, I wish I was that confident in the things I said too.

"How does a cow laugh?"

"How?"

"Moohahahaha"

Did he just?

"Okay goodbye Jin! It was nice running into you!"

I was now back at my temporary bedroom, surfing the Internet for social advice, which probably sounds stupid but who else was I supposed to ask?

Maybe juan?

He'll just tease me and tell me to be myself, he also wouldn't let me meet taehyung alone if he knew that I was going to see him today. Apparently there was still a chance that taehyung might be a catfishing 60 year old man who'll rape me and chop up my body parts and sell them under a bridge.

I talked to him on the phone though and he didn't sound like a pedophilic grandpa. But he can be a middle aged man, I mean his voice was way too deep for an 18 year old.

Oh my god. Did I have phone sex with someone who's my dads age?!?

I started to get into a deep cycle of thoughts about how taehyung could possibly be catfishing me and I came up with four possibilities;

1. He could be a pedophilic 40 year old man who lives in his mothers garage.

2. He could be one of my classmates using a voice changing app to prank me which could potentially ruin my life.

3. He could be an alien that jihyun sent from space to come catfish me to conspire to a plan similar to that of my second conclusion.

4. He could be telling the truth.

Of course I hoped that it was the latter because I couldn't have possibly taken a liking to someone who was fake. Right?

The sound of my alarm snapped me out of my thoughts and reminded me that I should probably start getting dressed to meet Taehyung.

I was now less enthusiastic to meet him since I was scared that he might be a prankーI mean we have gone through several situations together that seemed real, so it all can't possibly be some twisted joke. Right?

My mind has once again helped my mood get bad since my thoughts were my worst enemy. Heck, they were even worse than jihyun and my parents sometimes.

I finished getting dressed and was now on my way out. We agreed to meet each other at the mall so that's where I was heading now.

I took the bus because going to the mall on my feet would take more than 15 minutes and that was one of the many things that went against my no exercise protocol.

I was comfortably seated on a chair even though the bus was very crowded. An old lady came in looking for a place to sit though, so of course I offered her my seat "Here have my seat"

"Thank you young lady" she says taking the seatーI noticed that she didn't take her eyes off of me for like a good minute. I was about to say something about it but she spoke up.

"You remind me of my granddaughter, so nice and well-mannered"

"Oh thank you" I said giving her a slight smile and the appropriate 90 degree bow.

"I'm actually going to shop with her at the mall now" the lady smiles seeming quite excited. I wish my grandma was like that.

"Well I guess we're heading to the same destination then" I said smiling widely at her since it was hard not to be extra nice to the lovely old lady.

"Oh, are you meeting a family member too?"

"No, I'm meeting a friend actually"

"Well that's nice" she smiles at me with the warmest smile ever, she just seemed like such a genuinely nice lady and it made me happy. It was hard finding people that were just simply positive. People who didn't make humanity seem like it was that bad.

A few minutes later our stop came up and I helped her get off the bus, kept her company for a few minutes till her granddaughter showed up.

Sunhee.

It was Jung Sunhee.

Well mannered and nice my ass. She must be a talented actress when it comes to her family. Hand this bitch a fucking oscar everyone.

When she saw me standing with her grandma, panic was evident in her eyes. It was obvious she didn't want me to tell her grandmother about how horrible she actually was. Honestly, how scared she was only made this more fun for me. It was about time I got a chance to get some payback. For once it wasn't going to be me who gets back home feeling like shit.

"Oh hi sunhee, I didn't know that this nice lady was your grandma"

"Are you two girls friends?"

"Yes, yes we are granny" Sunhee said faster than she could suck up to Jihyun.

"Yeah, we go to school together" I said "Sunhee is so nice and sweet, although there was this one time..."

I could see the sweat forming on Sunhee's forehead and how her eyes were pleading me not to say anything. I was going to ignore that of course but the old ladys soft smile made me stop.

I wish I had a grandma like that, not one who would sleep so she wouldn't have to talk to me. I couldn't do that to someone, I couldn't mess with that type of love (one that I had never experienced). I knew that some people only had their grandparents and I couldn't risk harming her relationship with someone who could possibly be her only source of comfort.

"You were saying, dear?"

"Oh I forgot, anyway I'll be late if I don't go now" I said.

"Bye Sunhee, bye ma'am" I waved as I slowly backed away from the pair.

Before I left, I saw sunhee smile at me. It wasn't the usual smile of mock but a smile of gratitude.

I smiled back and turned around so I could make my way to the mall. I decided to push the memory of what had just happened to the back of my mind so I could meet Taehyung with a clear head.

I headed to the elevator since the restaurant we had agreed to meet in was on one of the higher floors of this huge ass mall.

I made my way in and took a seat on the table that was next to the window so I could stare into the night sky view.

I got lost in the way the stars sparkled, I never had the time to truly notice how beautiful the sky was. I never really had enough time to just take the time and look. I got so distracted that I didn't even notice someone leaning in next to my ear.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"
