The warm sunlight cast gentle glow over the quiet street, lighting up the nearby shop and cafes.Sweet scent of cherry blossom and the soft hum of conversation of passerby made the air alive.The neon light of convenience store flickered in the background casting a colourful glow over the sidewalk.Yuvin strolled into the convenience store,his eyes scanning with practiced ease as if he was the daily customer.He stopped by narrow shelves,plucking a carton of eggs, A loaf of whole grain bread, and a packet of freshly ground coffee beans.
As he reached the counter,his eyes fell on a cute,small girl who was fumbling through her purse,clearly in a rush.With a courageous nod,he gestured her to go ahead of him,his eyes crinkling at the corner with a subtle grin of his face.
The cashier scan items efficiently "that will cost 2,500 won."yuvin reached his back pocket pulling out a sleek black wallet while handing over cash to shopkeeper.
His phone buzzed when he tends to leave,he glanced his phone screen while moving his finger to take the call.
"Hello! Yuvin speaking."What's your good name Once again?"His voice was low,smooth like rich velvety chocolate.It had a gentle,soothing quality that put those around him at ease,yet beneath the calm surface there appear a hint of depth and complexity,a sense of unexplored emotion.
"I will let it slide this time,but next time please me careful."When he spoke his word were infused with confidence,it had a sense of authority that commanded attention without being loud or boisterous.
He emerged form the convenience store, with his hand gripping the grocery, muscle of his arm were subtly rippling beneath.His long strides were eating the distance as he navigated the sidewalk with ease.
His eyes shaded by brim of his black cap,scanned the surrounding with quite confidence.His broad shoulders made his fitted blue top visible,with black pant perfectly tailored to his aesthetic build.The watch he was wearing glinted in sunlight adding a touch to overall demeanour.
The moment he slowed down was when he noticed a group of laughing friends,his gaze drifted towards them and for a fleeting moment he froze,his eyes locked unto the joyful scene.He felt a pang of longing as he watched them,no one wonder what he was thinking in that moment.His eyes seemed to have thousands of unspoken words,yet his expression remained unchanged, masking the turmoil inside.
Ryoko took that as a chance and boldly moved "hey" her voice barely above the whisper "I think you dropped something."
He turned to her his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in her presence he tilted slightly to adjust his height with hers .Ryoko smiled "your heart maybe"and winked.
He knew what she meant by that,His eyes, though polite, were distant, and his voice was calm and even, but lacked any hint of warmth.
"Thank you for your concern," he said, his deep voice low and soothing, "but I think I've got everything under control."
Ryoko's heart sank,She was rejected
After a whole long minute of silence she compose herself."I couldn't help but notice you seemed a little... lost back there."
This time his voice was a lot more polite and calm in order not to hurt her more.He sighed, his shoulders relaxing slightly. "I was just thinking about some stuff," he said, his voice matter-of-fact. "It's nothing to worry about."
Ryoko's face fell, but she tried to keep the conversation going. "Oh, okay. Well, if you're sure you're okay..."
He nodded, his eyes already drifting away. "I'm fine, thanks.
She forced a smile onto her face and said, "Okay, well, take care of yourself, then."
He nodded, his expression polite but distant. "You too."
And with that, he turned and walked away, leaving Ryoko feeling disappointed but not surprised. She had known it was a long shot, but she had to try.
