I’m feeling giddy as I stretch out my bed. It’s a sunny day and I already feel warm all over. Why do I feel like good things will come my way today? I better keep the optimistic vibe to start that day. So I get out of bed with a smile.

As usual, I dress up in the cafe uniform Jungkook thinks looks good on me. Now that I look myself in the mirror, I don’t really find anything interesting about it. Why did he find it good anyways? It’s a plain black pair of blouse and pants. Though it fits perfectly I guess. Hm. Never mind.

I put my hair in bun today for a change. I usually just tie it in a low ponytail but I guess a simple change will not make any difference. It’s still my face after all.

I arrive at the café right on time and meets Yoongi at the locker room. We’ve made up and we’re back to our usual sibling-like bickering on a daily basis.

“Sunbae! Morning!” I greeted him with a smile like I do every day.

But instead of greeting me back, something halts him from doing so and he just has this stupefied look on his face staring at me.

“What?” I wonder what it is this time.

He just hisses turning to the side, brushes his nose and walks past me with a- “Morning.” in a low tone.

I scrunch my nose wondering what wrong I did this time. He’s acting weird again, isn’t he?

Ignoring Yoongi, I proceed to work for the day with a bright aura around me. I cannot let him ruin this good mood. It’s not every day I feel as light as today. So sorry sunbae, I’m not bickering with you today.

At the counter, Yoongi is stealing glances at you. You look totally different with only changing your hairstyle. It took him by surprise. He’s so whipped at the moment.

Meanwhile, Jungkook enters the café and looks around for you. He finds you serving someone coffee so he looks for a seat and gets himself comfortable until you come over to ask for his order.

I just finished serving coffee for a table and when I look around at who just came in, I find Jungkook sitting at the corner table, his back facing me. He’s looking out the streets, waiting to be served.

I sigh to myself. It’s been a week since we started practicing and I’ve experienced a lot of his mood swings already. Enough for me to be cautious around him. Is he really this type of person? Or is he just trying to be mean and throw me off for some reason. Maybe he’s actually upset that he isn’t the one singing for the presentation. Hmmm. That kept me thinking just now.

I approach him and greet him as a customer, “Anyounghaseyo, can I get your order now?”

He looks up to me with an annoyed face. Why’s he upset so early in the morning? There goes his mood swings again. But for a couple of seconds, he just looks at me like that. I wonder what’s going on in his mind?

“Your order please?”

He takes his eyes off me and looks out the road again, “The usual.”

I crease my brows at him, isn’t he being rude just now? I’m working here, hello? “Excuse me, I think I didn’t get your order sir.”

“Banana milk frappe.”

Now that’s really impolite. I just roll my eyes at him not repeating his order and walk on to the counter. Of course, I know about banana milk but it’s not like we’re on friendly terms right? And we’re obviously not friends. Why’s he acting so familiar with me? I'm secretly in love with him, yes, but he doesn't know that, and this attitude I totally cannot tolerate.

“One banana milk frappe for dine in,” I told Yoongi with a frown. And here I said no one’s gonna ruin my good mood.

“You should just put your hair down,” Yoongi remarks while making the frappe.

“What’s my hair got to do with anything?” I replied.

“Just saying.”

And here’s Yoongi adding to my bad mood. I worked hard pulling this hair off and they’re just gonna tell me to take it down? Ahh... what’s with this day? I peek over my shoulder to Jungkook and it just made my temper even more unstable. What’s the deal with these guys anyways?

I still took the bun hairstyle to class and nothing out of the ordinary took place. I don’t have a class with Jungkook today so it was really a relief that he’s not throwing his mood at me. Though I kinda feel like missing him, his rudeness just gets the better of me. He can’t treat me like that just because he wants to. I’m no one but I’m a human being too, if he’s forgetting.

I sit at one of the benches scattered around the campus after my last class. I think I need some fresh air. It’s not that late yet, only 5PM. So I relaxed myself watching the football team practice at the field. They have so much going on in the game. I wonder how much they want to play that they use all their time for that one thing.

Honestly, I don’t think I have that drive in me. I only want to finish college and find a stable job to support myself. And of course, my biggest dream was for Jungkook to notice me. And it’s finally happened, so I guess I don’t have any big dream left. I’m content now. Just that Jungkook’s acting like a stuck up kid around me. Maybe I asked for too much that he’s like this with me. But I think I can bear with it until it ends. I’ll just have to wait for this program to be over and I’m sure we’re over too. I’m sure I’ll miss him, but at least I got to be with him right? Yeah, that should be enough.

As I drift off to my own thoughts, someone sits beside me. Plenty of seats are open so who in the world would— my eyes widen cuz it’s Jungkook and he’s staring straight at me. Now what does he want with me?
