The day I met him was one that would never fade from my memory. I was in the college library, studying for my degree. Textbooks and papers were flung across the entire table, leaving no room for any of the other five chairs. He was sitting at a table away from me, the same chaos across his own. We’d occasionally look at each other, smiling softly. We stayed till the latest hour the library stayed open, which was midnight, before we both got kicked out.
“You seem busy,” Seokjin said as I ran a hand through my hair, the anxiety of school rolling through my gut. I chuckled, looking at him.
“You don’t seem too far behind me,” I said, smirking. He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. He had soft, light brown hair. It looked a bit fluffy, and he was wearing a pair of round glasses.
“Hey, I know a 24 hour coffee shop… if you plan to keep studying?” He asked, shyly. I smiled, nodding my head. He seemed relieved as he began to walk, me following him. It was silent between us, but the night was booming.
“My name’s Seokjin,” He mumbled, flashing a small smile. He was very handsome.
“Y/n,” I replied. “I’ve seen you around campus.”
“What’s your major?” He asked, making me shrug. I was still pretty new to college.
“I’m just rolling with the punches, really,” I said, smiling. “What about you?”
“A lawyer,” He replied. “I’d like to help hybrids one day get out of shitty situations.” I felt my heart sink to my stomach, fear rolling through my veins. Memories from when I was ten flooded back, but I shook my head, pushing the feeling down and smiling softly.
“A lawyer, huh?” I said, avoiding the specifics. “No wonder you’re studying your ass off.” He laughed, making me smile. It resembled one of a windshield wiper. Cute.
“Yeah, I am,” He replied, walking up to a cute building.
We walked in and I looked around. It was small and cute, vintage looking. There were quite a few plants around, making it look like a jungle. The older lady looked at us and smiled. We were the only ones in here.
“Seokjin! Darling, it’s good to see you again,” She belted, making me giggle as he blushed softly.
“Yes, ma’am,” Seokjin replied. “I’ll have my usual, please.”
“Of course! What about your pretty friend here?” She said, looking at me. I smiled while he groaned in embarrassment. I gave her my order, and she just nodded, walking around to fix it.
Seokjin and I went and sat at a table. He placed his backpack to the side, I did the same. Instead of taking out our study materials, we just kind of… sat there, looking at each other. We started up a conversation, talking about our goals and our lives…. For the rest of the night, we just talked. When it was closing on four in the morning, we decided it was time to head back to campus.
Once we reached the dorms, we had to go our separate ways, but I didn’t want to stop talking to him…. Him staying made me feel he thought the same. He sighed, scratching the back of his neck nervously.
“Do you live in the boys dorm…?” I asked, trying to keep conversation.
“Oh, no. My car is over there, I have a house outside of the city,” He replied, flashing a smile. My eyes widened.
“Wow, a lawyer and a homeowner. I’ve hit the jackpot,” I joked, smiling. He laughed again.
“I’m wondering if I… could get your number?” He asked, shyly. “You know, in case you want some company while you study!”
“Oh, yeah, in a completely strict studying kind of way,” I joked again, making him laugh.
“Exactly what I was thinking.” Seokjin smiled. We exchanged phone numbers, parting ways. I walked to my shared dorm, my roommate fast asleep. I held back my excitement. He was so cute…. I couldn’t wait to see him again.
