Unexpected Meetings
Gabbi walked lazily to the Han River after another hard day at school. She tended to sit near the river before she would head to work, unknowingly being spied on by her crush. She plopped herself down onto a bench before she put one of her earbuds in and looked at the crashing waves on the shore. With a sigh she ran a hand through her hair and leaned back to relax.
"Hi there" Chanyeol said, peeking around the bench with a smile. She jumped before breathing a sigh of relief.
"You scared me!" she said, glaring at him. He bowed.
"Kamsahamnida" he said before gesturing to the bench. "May I sit?" She nodded as she turned her music off and scooted over enough to let him sit. He sat down next to her and stared off into the distance.
"I'm on fire" she mumbled, moving long hair out of her face. He snickered.
"The why not go inside?" He joked.
"I was thinking. I have to go to work in a couple hours and it's nice to relax after writing a 12 page paper." He nodded.
"That makes sense. Do you live close to here?" he asked. She gave him a questionable look.
"Uh not that far away."
"Ah, ah I understand." he said. "I didn't mean to be creepy or anything." She laughed before nodding.
"Ah, shit" she mumbled, looking down at her phone as she got a text message. He looked at her curiously.
"Wha?" he asked, looking really lazy.
"My friend who works with me is sick and wants to know if I can cover her shift" she said, before texting back. He frowned at her.
"You're leaving?" he asked, looking like a sad puppy. She nodded.
"Sorry Chanyeol" she said, standing to her feet and putting her phone in her coat pocket. "Duty calls."
"It's okay. I have to go to work too soon." he said, standing as well. She nodded.
"Well, I'll see you around" she said before he grabbed her arm.
"Wait. I don't want to seem weird, but here" he said, digging in his pocket and handing her his number. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow before deciding that it would be much easier to just accept it. "If you wouldn't mind, please call or text me sometime."
"Alright" she said simply, taking his number and stuffing it into her pocket. "I'll see you around!" she said before running off to the parking lot to grab her car. He sighed, staring lovingly as she ran off into the horizon.
"Chanyeol?" D.O asked, waving his hand in front of his face and making him blink in surprise. Xiumin laughed at his expression.
"Huh?" he asked, looking up at his hyung. D.O shook his head.
"You're spacing out and we need to finish this shoot soon. Got that girl on your mind again?" Chanyeol blushed before he laughed nodding. Baekhyun shook his head.
"Really? You act like you've never been with a girl. It won't be long before you have to do your singles by the way" he said, brushing hair off of his forehead and plopping down next to him.
"Yeah but she's different from any other girl I've seen. Her skin is the color of light chocolate and her hair is so curly! She's got curves that would make any man drool…" he said, trailing off when he realized how hot his cheeks were. Suho laughed, coming over and patting Chanyeol on the head.
"I'm happy that he's finally hanging out with a girl. It's healthy to like girls." he said plopping cheese into his mouth from a nearby table. "Just put all that emotion into your expressions."
"Don't tell him that, he might get a boner or something" Kris teased, sipping water, making Kai die of laughter nearby. Chanyeol scoffed.
"Don't be an ass Kris" he said, before he jumped as his phone buzzed in his pocket. Feeling embarrassed, he dug into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone and read the text message and smiled his signature smile when he noticed it was his crush who had decided to finally text him, a week after he had handed her his number by the Han River. The two struck up a conversation and in minutes they were laughing at each other's text messages and smiling brightly on both ends. It was definitely a good idea to have given her his number, he concluded.
