Chapter 1
Is this Seat taken?
The cafe is full of customers and the rain is pouring outside. On one of the chairs near the window sat a man alone armed with a book on hand and is watching the rain slowly falling down from the sky. He has a world of his own.
A man entered the cafe dripping wet from the rain outside. He orders Iced Americano and bread to the cashier. He searched for an empty table to sit in but there is none. While looking around he spotted the man sitting by the window alone. He walked towards the man who is lost in his train of thoughts. He stops in his tracks he never saw a man this beautiful in his life. The man have reddish brown hair, has a sharp jawline and a pointy nose that looks perfect on him, a lips that looks so soft and red like a rose petal.
He snapped out of his thoughts when a kid accidentally bumps into him, It also caught the attention of the man by the window. The kid’s mom apologized to him and left. He continued to walk to the man by the window. The man by the window looks confused and just stares at him as he walks closer.
When he reaches the table he cleared his throat and speaks up "A-ahm I-is this seat taken?" the man by the window just looks at him and shakes his head in response "Would it be fine if I share a table with you? Ahm as you can see the cafe is so full and your alone if it ok-" he was caught off guard when the man release a small chuckle under his breath 'his laughter sound like an angels voice'.
"Ahem S-sorry about that it's just that you look so cu- I mean yes you can sit there," the man said and Give him a beautiful smile. He didn't realize that his cheek is tinted with red as he slowly sat down in front of the man. The goes back to reading his book silently and taking a sip from his cup every now and then.
He removes his wet coat and gets his phone from his pocket. A few moments later the barista started calling out his name "Iced Americano and bread for Mr. Dongho!" and he stands up and puts down his phone on the table and got to the claiming counter and comeback in his chair in front of the beautiful stranger. He really wanted to know the name of the Man in front of him but he doesn't have the courage to ask. In defeat he takes out his notepad and pen and just started to write down some paragraph or lyrics that comes into mind. Hours pass by and the cafe become less crowded and the rain outside have stop from pouring down. When Dongho finish his Coffee he place his notepad in his pocket and look at the man in front of him.
"ahm.." the man in front of him looks up from his book and looks at him.
"Yes?" ask the man.
"Thank you for letting me sit here. I'll be going now." he said while smiling his smile that caused his eye to disappear.
The stranger smiles back at him "it's nothing, and in fact thank you for your company even for a short while I didn't feel like I'm alone.." with that a flash of sadness pass through his beautiful eyes. "Anyways take care" the stranger said and smile back at Dongho.
"Thank you, you too take care." and with that Dongho picks up his phone from the table and left the cafe. Smile still plastered on his face as he exits the cafe and waits for a cab outside.
The stranger left inside the cafe watch as Dongho walks out the door and until he enters the cab and disappear. The stranger decided to leave, he takes his phone from the table and place it in his pocket and placed his book in his bag. He walks out from the cafe with a small smile remembering the peaceful face of the man named Dongho as he writes down on his notepad.
As he walks by the claiming counter Jonghyun saw him and called out. "Yah! Leaving so Early Minhyun?"
"Yes Jonghyun I still need to do something. See you tomorrow" he said as he leaves the cafe.
After he left the cafe he held a cab and head to his apartment.
