The campus was emptying. The students were seen dragging their luggage all the way out and returning home with any mode of transport they could avail for. All happy faces and head free of tensions. The semester exams had just ended, so naturally, it was time for everyone to retreat back home.

But going home never excited you, rather you dreaded the new unknown you were to face on setting feet in your hometown.

 "Sash, have you seen my blue pajama?"

Sasha clicked her tongue, "In my cupboard. Remember, I borrowed them."

"Right. Anyways you like them, so keep them.", you shrugged and folded another pair of shirts, putting them inside the trolley, "Do you plan on going home or staying at Hoseok's?"

"At Hoseok's.", she answered, "My parents will be visiting us."

"And Jungkook? What about him?"

"Shouldn't you be knowing more about him than anyone of us?", she raised her brow suggestively, "I'm very suspicious about you both."

You scoffed, "Don't ask me anything. I don't know what he wants from me--"

"Agreed. He can be confusing sometimes", Sasha huffed out, "And damn ridiculous too. It would have been anyone else I'd have assured them to trust him but for you, Y/N, I'd say beware of him. Don't let him hurt you, not even unknowingly."

You sighed helplessly, "Sash, I'm biologically programmed to satisfy him. What option do I have?"

"Fuck this system, Y/N. If Jungkook can get out of it, you can too. Get a grip before it's too late."

"Easier said than done", you pouted, "But I'm trying."

She gave you a thumbs up and you resumed packing.

"Uh Y/N.."

You halted hearing your roommate call you out and by her tone you knew, she was about to ask something you'd hesitate to answer.

"Where are you going to stay if... I mean....", she stumbled upon her words and you turned to face her.

"You don't need to be so cautious with me. Aunt Marie's there which is a relief for me or if situation worsens I'll stay at Ena's."

Sasha nodded, "I wanted to tell you one more thing..."

"What?"

"It's nothing important though.", she bit her lips, fumbling with her thumbs, "ISAWNAMJOONTODAY."

You gaped at her, "What did you just say?"

"isawnamjoontoday."

This time you were able to decode what she actually said and laughed, "You saw Namjoon today? And you recognized him, how? You've seen him in pictures only, Sash."

"Oh that...", she pursed her lips in a line and spoke lowly, "Unlike you, I'm good at remembering faces Y/N. But that's not the point. I expected a different reaction."

You snorted, "Honey, it's not only you. Ena has seen him, in fact I have also seen him. Guess, he shifted in this town."

"Oh..."

"Now let me finish the packing & sleep, I have two shifts tomorrow."

"Hey Taehyung!", Ena waved her hands from the opposite side of the streets as soon as she saw him opening his shop.

That poor boy got the scare of his life by the sudden yell of his name. Turning around, he waved back at her as she came running across to him.

"Hi Ena, do you need something?", he asked rhetorically.

She nodded, "Actually, it's my boyfriend's birthday tomorrow. So I wanted to order a bouquet for him."

Taehyung smiled, "Soulmate to be specific? Blue Hydrangea, is it?"

"Oh my god, Taehyung.", she exclaimed, "You never fail to amaze me. And yeah, a bouquet of Blue hydrangeas. I'll drop by again when my shift ends--"

"Ena?"

She turned back to see Seokjin smiling mischievously, "Did you by any chance, quit Kreme and joined here?"

Ena and Taehyung laughed.

"Wish I could, but Taehyung isn't hiring and without me Jungkook would be so lost--"

"Jungkook?", Taehyung perked up as he exchanged glances with Seokjin who was already smirking.

"Yeah, he works with me--"

"Ena!"

She looked across the street to see Jungkook waiting for her.

"I need you here! Customers are filling in!", he yelled.

"Be there in a minute!", she yelled back and Jungkook gave a single nod before going inside.

"Oh so where was I--", she was cut off again.

"Ena...is it you?"

Already tired of so many people calling her name, she sighed, turning towards the direction of the voice.

"N-Namjoon?"

"You both know each other?", Taehyung intercepted out of curiosity.

"Yeah, we both share the same hometown.", Ena answered tiredly.

Seokjin who was observing everything quietly, asked, "Just acquaintances or there's something more to it?"

Taehyung snapped his head at Seokjin with brows raised and the later gave an affirmative nod.

Namjoon elaborated, "Same locality. Same school, I was their senior--",

"Their?", Taehyung was quick to catch his words, "She and who else?"

"No one.", Ena breathed out, "I need to go, they're looking for me.", she looked at the florist, "Oh Taehyung, please note the order.", she turned back to Seokjin, "You wanna drop by? If so, let's go then."

As she was about to step ahead, Namjoon grabbed her wrist, "I want to talk to you Ena, please..."

Ena sighed and took out a writing pad. Scribbling her number, she tore the page and handed it to Namjoon, "We need to talk, definitely."

Namjoon was quietly staring at the paper which was handed to him when he felt a tap on his arm.

All the air left his lungs at once when Ena hugged him tight all of a sudden, "I missed you, Joon."

Namjoon had not felt this good lately.

You were taking a stroll after finishing your afternoon shift. Indeed a good choice, because it gave you time to think. To contemplate and to decide on certain matters of your life.

Apart from Jungkook's proximity, the another thing you dreaded was visiting hometown. A combination of nostalgic and melancholic memories which--

Someone bumped into you, sending you down to concrete road.

"Watch where you're going.", you hissed, blowing on you scrapped palms.

"I'm so sorry!", you heard the girl speak before extending her hands to pull you up.

As you raised your head & looked at her, she eyed you in amusement, "Y/N?"

"Yes", unable to recognise, you asked, "I'm sorry but do I know you--"

"It's really you!", she pulled you up on your feet, hugging tightly.

Pulling away, "Are you serious? You don't recognise me?"

You shook head hesitantly.

"Gosh. It's me, Claire!", as soon as she told, your orbs blew wide.

"Claire?", you held her hands, "Oh my god! I'm so sorry--"

"It's fine, Y/N. You've been always bad at recognizing faces.", she laughed.

"You dyed your hair, cut them short and your specs are gone. I don't expect myself to recognize you.", you hugged her once again, "You've grown up to be more beautiful."

She chuckled and checked the time, "I'd love to catch up but sweetheart I'm running late, I have to be somewhere."

You both exchanged numbers before she hailed a cab and left.

"Funny, how often I have been hearing this name...", you murmured to yourself.

What you didn't know was the series of encounters  you both were yet to have at unexpected places.
