I glance at Sara, walking beside me as we almost reach the café. She checks around, gazing at the flower shop nearby and I sigh softly, recalling her smiling face pointing at the prettiest flowers that she said I should gift her, claiming that I have a bad taste in picking the right bouquet for my girlfriend.

Following her gaze, I realise we're in front of the café. She glances at me with a confused look, pointing her hand at the door. I blink a few times, nodding and push it open for her, "Ladies first,"

"You're so weird." She laughs and I smile, following after her as she looks around for an empty table.

"Uh there...?" I say, not so sure about my suggestion as my index finger points on one of the separate booths next to the window, a few feet away from where there are round tables for a public seating. Sara looks at me, raising her right brow at me, "It's okay, we can sit here too–"

"Let's go there." She tugs on my hand, heading towards the empty booth, "It's your lucky day Mr Jimin."

"I feel like it too." I chuckle, sitting across her after taking off my jacket and put it next to me, "I mean, first you ran into me, then you spoke some really good words, and now we're here."

Sara laughs at my words, shaking her head while I look back, raising my hand to call for a waiter who shows up almost instantly to take our order, "A cappuccino for me, and for her..."

"Uhm cappuccino," She says, "please don't make it too sweet."

"Yes ma'am, anything else?" He asks.

"Yes," I add, "A chocolate brownie please." The waiter nods, taking  his leave and I glance at Sara, "Since when did you start liking coffee?"

"Since... I don't know, Jungkook just it's better and will help me stay up." She says with a giggle, shrugging her shoulders.  "So, yeah I've been having coffee a little sometimes. It's not that bad."

"Yeah, I know. I literally survive on coffee." I say which is true.

"I know," She nods, and before we take the conversation any further, the waiter comes up wih our order. He places the coffee on the table, one for me and one for Sara, then keeps the brownie in the middle and takes his leave.

I take a sip of my drink which tastes absolutely perfect, just a little less sweet, but it can do the work. Sara drinks her coffee too, and scrunches up her nose, keeping the cup back, "What happened? Is it not good?" I ask, laughing a little as she shakes her head.

"It's sweet." She sighs.

"Oh I think they exchanged our coffees," I say, glancing at mine, "This is not sweet."

"Wow" She shakes her head, not touching the cup again and just fiddles with her hands.

"You can take this if you want," I suggest, "Or order another one maybe? Is it too sweet?"

"Not too sweet, but it has plenty of sugar."

"Ah so it's all about sugar?" I sigh deeply, now understanding where this is going, "Come on just drink it, you're not gaining any extra calories."

"No, it's fine. I'm not that into coffee anyway."

"Alright, have the cake. It's for you."

"Really? No, thanks, I'm good. I can't even touch that." Sara says, laughing a little.

"Why not? You come here with me and not eat? How is this fair?"

"I'm sorry Jimin, but seriously I don't eat that. I'm on a really strict diet and there's no way I'm gonna cheat on it."

"Why do you need a diet?" I frown, she looks fine to me, more than fine actually, she's gorgeous.

"To lose sone weight? I've tried before but it never works because of Jungkook. That guy literally sits with me eats as if it's best thing on earth... and then I can't help but eat too. But this time he's not here, so I can follow my diet without any problem."

"For once in my life I feel like that dude did the right thing." I sigh, glancing at her and slide the cake towards her, "You should eat well, at least when you're with me."

"No, I–"

"You know I don't like hearing no in sone things," I say and she stares at me quietly with her eyes hinting a little confusion and innocence which is what I think I fell for, "eating is one of them. So you better eat without your useless diet coming in between, or I won't mind feeding you, princess."

"Can you stop calling me that?" She whisper yells, leaning forward with her elbows resting on the table between us.

"Of course not, you are my princess, aren't you?" I smirk a little, leaning forward as well and wink at her, making her role her eyes at me.

"You and your stupid dreams," She huffs, taking the spoon and digs into the brownie, finally giving up as she eats it. How adorable. I smile at her.

We sit in silence for a minute while Sara's eating the cake and I scroll through my Instagram feed which is full of everything except for Sara. I look up for her id again, but this time it doesn't even show up. My brows scrunch together as my mind makes out the possibilities and I stare at Sara, "Did you actually block me everywhere?"

She chokes on my sudden comments, and starts coughing. I blink a few times before gaining my senses back and ask the nearest waiter to us sone water. Once she's taken a sip and feeling fine, I ask again, "Did you block me, Sara?"

"Yes?" She replies as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, making me sigh.

"Why would you do that?"

"Because we broke up? And we never really talk to each other anyway."

"That is not a good reason. Exes don't have to stay mad at each other or anything like that. Look at us, we're almost like friends in real life."

"Then enjoy the real life. Why do you care about the online one?" She says, smiling mischievously as she takes another bite. Her hand stops midway and she's suddenly leaning towards me again, holding the spoonful of cake, "Wanna try? It's nice, I forgot to ask before."

"Thanks, I'm fine."

"No, come on just taste it." She forces, while I shake my head telling her that she can have it. But she gets up and pushes me by the shoulder, making herself sit next to me
and this time, feeds me for real. "How's it?"

"Sweet," I look at her, releasing a breath. She looks more beautiful this close.

"Obviously it's sweet," She speaks gulping her bite and takes another one, "I mean it's delicious isn't it?"

"Yeah" I nod, "not as delicious as you, but okay." Sara chokes again, staring at me with wide eyes. Am I the only one who thinks she's been choking a lot lately? I hide my laugh and pat her back slowly while she takes a sip of water to calm herself down. "Feeling better?" I ask, getting a sharp glare in response.

"This is why I blocked you." She hisses, making me laugh. "You never shut up with your nonsense."

"Okay relax, I'm not saying anything. Finish the cake then we still need to get you an ice cream."

"Then why did you bring me here?"

"Remember I said I had a date with Sara? It's here." I grin at her, pacing my arm behind her as I lean back and she gasps.

"You! You cheater! I'm not going on a date with you!"

"You are on a date with me."

"Don't you– Park Jimin, it's not a date." She declares.

"Alright it's not a date." I chuckle, "Anyways, you mentioned about some problem to Mr Min, is it your dad again?"

"Oh that, well yeah kind of. I was just worried how he'll react if he finds out about me getting suspended for a week, especially because I was seen with a guy." She sighs and I nod, "Even Jungkook is not here, or else we take the scolding together. My dad really hates him."

"Well he is annoying." I nod, "When did he leave though? He was here and very normal yesterday."

"Yeah, I don't know what happened all of a sudden. His last message was around one or two in the morning."

"Must be something really important to have him leaving the country overnight." I shrug.

"Leaving the country?" Sara frowns, "No, he went to Busan..."

"Really? I thought I heard it's US." I say, "Tae was talking about it. He even heard them talking about Jungkook dropping out of the Uni. in the morning."

"What? No, he didn't say anything like that." Sara says hastily pulling out her phone and scrolls through her messages, clicking on Jungkook's name and showed me the text. "It says Busan."

Well, yeah it does. And it also calls me a stupid guy that she needs to stay away from. But I sigh and decide to let it slide this once.

"Wait, I'll..." I mumble, taking my phone and call Taehyung. He answers almost instantly, greeting me with an energetic 'Heyo!' as usual, "Bro, would you mind telling me about Jungkook's drop out or something like that? Is it true?"

"Yeah, my dad said he recieved the letter from him early in the morning, that he's moving to the states and no longer wishes to study here."

"W-What? How is that possible?" Sara mumbles to herself, tapping on the screen of her phone as she tries to call her best friend with tears pooling her eyes when she can't connect even after three or four tries.

"Sara, it's alright. He'll call you back when he sees your missed calls and messages." I assure her, patting her back. But she doesn't listen and keeps trying to get in touch with him.

I can't bring myself to believe he left just like that without even telling her the truth, knowing how much she loves him and he's the only person she trusts blindly. Moreover he dared to lie to her. I didn't expect him to do this to Sara. What a dickhead.

"Why is he not answering..." Sara mutters, almost whining to her phone as a tear drop rolls down from her cheek.

"Hey, don't cry. I'm sure he'll call you back later." He better does.

"He left... just like that, Jimin. There must be something really serious or else he would've at least informed me– He even lied... I- I don't know what is happening." She lets out in a shaky voice as more tears spill out from her eyes.

"Sara, don't worry, there must've been a reason for what he did. You said he loves you the most right? Then just trust him, he wouldn't hurt you." I say, despite of me and him not really being that good of friends, I know this for sure he would never in his right mind hurt Sara and leave her alone like this.

She nods eventually, wiping her tears and stands up, taking her bag, "I'll go home, I'm sorry Jimin."

"Yeah, it's fine. Just wait a minute, I'll drop you."

"Thanks, but I'll manage."

"I insist, Sara. Please, I want to." She nods at last while I pay quickly before heading towards her place.

Jeon Jungkook what the fuck are you doing? And why am I even defending him? God, what is all this?
