[Her birthday]

It was supposed to be...

...a blessing day...

24th October

Rin's POV

I ran up the stairs and finally arrived at our appointed meeting place. It was the Cafe that is famous around my town. I gasped for air and looked around searching for that figure I was supposed to meet with.

Bamm!

A CUP OF HOT COFFEE WAS FLOWING ON MY THIGH.

I screamed in pain that made the whole cafe turned their heads to me. The guy that was standing right in front of me was apologizing non-stop. I looked up at him and what I say was like an angel. "I-it's okay. I'll wash it at the washroom." My mouth was wide agape.

Not long after that, all the girls around my age at the cafe started squealing and hovering around that guy. The guy was then brought by a man and he covered him protectively. The crowd went out of the cafe in a whim.

Must be someone important again. How can I not know so many things? I shrugged it off and observed my surrounding. Where could that guy be?

Let's settle with this coffee first.

The moment I came out of the washroom, I took a glance at my phone to observe his photo again. He's a blondie. This is the first time after 5 years that we are going to meet again and for all those years, I've been secretly in love with him.

Well, not a secret anymore though. Haven't I mentioned that I've confessed to him? Oh, if I hadn't, I'm telling you that I, the introverted girl, had confessed to a guy whom I barely know.

He was just an Online friend at first but we became really close gradually. Our bond and chemistry were really great that we both could share our uneasiness and secrets with one another. As far as I'm concerned, we've just met once or twice but I still have this lingering feelings towards him.

Now, where could this guy be. A table of 3 guys wearing mask that covers their mouth, caught my attention. I don't remember them being there before I get into the washroom.

I caught them staring at me. Why did they do that? Was it just my imagination? I brushed it off and kept on looking inside the cafe. My eyes caught a sight of a blonde guy with his earphone on his ear, smiling at his smart phone. He sat on a very deserted place on the back of the cafe. He must love some privacy.

I took small steps and sat across the guy.

"Hey!" said Akira with a smile.

"Hi! Long time no see!" I said and smiled back at him. He looked overjoyed. Did this meeting cheered him up?

"Woah! You've changed a lot, girl!" Said Akira scanning every piece of me.

"What would you expect from not meeting after 5 years? Duhh." I said as I slipped my smart phone inside my sling bag.

"I know you hate compliments but I'll still say it. You look cuter. No, that's not it. You look very beautiful." said Akira. Such a flirt.

"Flirt! Not going to fall for that!" I said and giggled.

"It's okay. You still fall for me after all." His statement stole my breath away. Damn. The memory of my confession suddenly came back to me making me felt less confident.

"Hey, U-uhm."

"It's okay. I get it"

Oh god, this is getting awkward! Help me! The waiter came right on time to take our orders and that made the atmosphere less heavy. Right after the waiter left, I cleared my throat and regained all my courage before saying, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"I do but not now. Let's enjoy our delicacies first." said Akira as soon as the waiter served us with cakes and coffees.

"Just say it. It's not like I'll lost appetite from it right?" I said trailed by a giggle. He scratched his neck awkwardly and smiled before saying, "I'm not really sure about that. It's YOU we're talking about. The infamous drama queen in our clique." He emphasized the 'you' as a blush was forced to crept on my cheeks. I hate how he understands me inside out. I hate my natural stimuli. It betrays my perfect plan on being as composed and cool as I could.

'Remember Rin! You have a mission to complete by the end of this meeting!' I reminded myself countless of times.

I caught a glimpse of him grinning. What is he thinking about? I took a glance at my phone and learnt that it was 10:56 in the morning. It'll be about 50 minutes before those guys pick me up. I'd like to go back by myself but Len insisted on picking me up.

Does Len know about this meeting? Yup. But I 'forgot' to tell him that the person I'm meeting is a GUY.

"Are you in a hurry for something?" said Akira. He looked displeased. What's with that expression?

"Oh, my friends are going to pick me up in another 50 minutes or something." I said casually. Pissed off sounds like an understatement to describe his facial expression for a split of second. It gave me a sudden goosebumps. What's wrong?

He suddenly flashed a smile that usually made me see stars and fireworks but take note, it did not do the same work anymore. "Sounds like a Cinderella." Said Akira. The waitress served us with some amazing delicacies.

"Sounds like it, but nothing like it." I said before sipping the hot vanilla latte.

"What does that mean?" said Akira before he started to sip his cup of espresso.

"Well, practically. Cinderella gained her freedom and true happiness right after the prince fell for her. And that was only because she's a beauty. Love at first sight is always about one's appearance." I said before rolling the cheese paste from the cheese tarts on my tongue.

"Then, what's 'nothing like it'?" asked Akira. I liked the way he looked at me attentively. I know. Sounds like a bitch right? The moment before, I was clinging onto Len and the moment after that, I kept on falling for another guy.

"Obviously because I am not a beauty. No prince would want me." I said and laughed at my statement. To my surprise, Akira was staring at me. How long had he been looking at me? What's with those eyes? His forehead formed a frown.

"Then, if that's what you think, what about we..."

"Ting ting ting"

A sound from the cafe's door distracted us both. We turned our heads and what we saw was a group of attractive guys that might had dazzle the female employees at the cafe.

I thought...

"Bro! What are you doing here?" said one of the guy from the three that caught my attention just recently.

"Tae?" answered Mikuo as he walked towards the guy.

"Fancy meeting you here! Piko! Kiyoteru! You're here too. Where's the others?" said Mikuo as the other man that was also called Mikuo hugged him. He hugged the boy back.

They know each other?

"Hey, Dell! What's up?" Kaito said . Sorry to say this but I should add 'awkwardly'.

"Hey man!" answered Akira in displeasure.

"What? You know them?" As clueless as ever, I looked at his face for answer.

"Rin, do you really have a decent life?" Rinto, looked at me in disbelief.

"Well, my cover has blown huh?" said Akira as he looked at me in disappointment.

"Rin, this is Honne Dell or mostly known as Dell." said Kaito as he patted Akira's back.

"He's the leader of a korean boy band and these three boys are all his members." said Kaito again. Akira, or should I call Dell, smiled but not an actual smile. He's annoyed, obviously.

"And now, why are both of you here? Especially you, Rin." said Len. His voice speaks 'you're dead girl'. If stares could kill, I might have been dead by now.

What should I do?
