“Uhm, actually I don’t speak English. Sorry.”
Those were the words he said when you first met him.
You sat at the table next to the window while taking small sips of your warm caramel macchiato, lightly tapping your fingers on the table and looking out onto the busy streets of Myeongdong. It was around the same time of the year when you met him 5 years ago. It was during summer and it was raining heavily outside when you bumped into him
“I’m so sorry, are you ok?” you bent down to pick up your laptop and Korean grammar book while apologising to the stranger who you bumped into, while trying to cross the street to get to the nearest café, out of the rain.

Taehyung was the “seeker” and all three of you hid behind the bushes in the backyard. “Eonnie, you like Taetae oppa, right?” You looked at two of them, a little taken aback but you managed to put on a playful grin and tickled Eunmi and Taebin.
