โit was early morning. joohyun was lacking sleep. she needed at least five shots of espresso in her coffee. maybe directly injected in her blood stream. so she was just desperately trying to find a less busy place to go and grab a drink.
when she did, she sighed out of relief. it was probably the best feeling, to know she would get some energy, in order to continue the jam packed day she had ahead of her. she sharply pulled the door open, walking in. just to walk into someone, or they walked into her, thinking she opened the door for them, and for them to spill their drink right on top of joohyunโs crisp white dress shirt. the one day she decided to dress with a plain white shirt, was the day everything would go wrong.
โitโs just seven in the morning-โ she muttered, a tad upset at how bad her day was already going. her eyes landed on the them. she was a bit annoyed. just a bit, enough to show on the frown placing itself on her features.
โbut seriously? i even ironed it this morning.โ she said, almost pouting as she slightly pulled the drenched material away from her skin. thank god it wasnโt a hot coffee, joohyun was sure she would have been left with burns.
contrary to popular belief, minseok wasnโt necessary a morning person.
it would have made sense if he was, with the way he brightly greeted everyone he knew on the way to his favourite coffee shop. at this point, almost every face he encountered along the way was at least somewhat familiar and most of them recognised him as well. minseok had frequented this exact shop for as long as he could remember ... if he recalled correctly, he started going after hearing a friendโs recommendation in his second year of high school.
even despite him not being too fond of getting up early to attend his university lectures, usually, his mornings were smooth sailing anyway. with an emphasis onย โ usuallyย โ .
โ oh my god. โ was everything minseok was able to get past his lips, not necessarily out of guilt or compassion for the girl in front of him, but more so because of ... surprise? it took him a couple seconds to fully register what just happened. never had he imagined that those famous coffee spilling scenes in movies actually went down in real life as well. well, those film makers had to get their inspiration from somewhere, right?
smiling apologetically, minseok reached inside his pocket to hand her a tissue. not that it was going to help much.ย โ iโm really sorry about that, i really need to watch where iโm going in the future. โ he was surprised that she wasnโt cussing him out. if he was in her position, he would way more feral, that was for sure. maybe she was just like him and was actually brewing on the inside, though. not everyone was easy to read.ย โ are you in a hurry? i would like to pay you to get it cleaned. itโs the least i could do after messing up your day like that. โ
