2.

It was wintertime and the sun shone pleasantly on the busy humans who didn't have time to enjoy its warmth, except for the few leisurely people who were sitting on the park benches, everyone else seemed in a hurry.

Jin blankly stared at them while sipping on his coffee, but again started becoming busy after his short break.

He was preoccupied, but his eyes were constantly on the phone waiting for a call or even a text.

Last night he had stayed up with his brother to make chocolates and even after that he still hadn't gone to sleep.

After his last call to his girlfriend, which was one and a half weeks ago, she hadn't even called back once, he wanted to go visit her but he thought it might be a hindrance so waited patiently.

The day was agonizingly slow but the same couldn't be said for the custom made Chocolates of his store.

They were selling like hot cakes and they were sold out even before the sun had yet to set.

"Kids these days are so expressive and daring"Suga,his Co worker slash friend sighed as he saw the last pack of chocolates he had handed out, being hauled away by a pair of excited looking teenage girls.

"That's true, Back in the days the girls in our class didn't even dare to step into the store to buy chocolates in fear of being made fun of, the same goes for us guys on white day"

Hoseok joined and suddenly burst out laughing upon recalling an incident.

"Speaking of white day, I remember someone who received chocolate on that day" His eyes held a playful smirk.

Jin did recall the boy in glasses who had shyly handed him a box of chocolates in his Junior high. It was actually still quite vivid in his mind but he didn't want to clarify it just for them to start making fun of him again.

"He won't even remember who the person was anyway, don't bother, his face amnesia is worse than he claims it to be" Suga discouraged Hoseok who seemed dead set on making Jin flustered.

"Yah! You guys are talking like you'd remember his face" Jin said in a little irritated tone but still didn't add anything else.

"I wonder if he forgets what he looks like too?" Hoseok muttered to himself pretending not to hear the fact Jin just stated.

"My face? How can I forget this handsome face of mine? Nobody can so how can I? " Jin bragged in an exaggerated tone making the other two roll their eyes after which they smiled and continued to laze on their rare free time.

"You've been looking depressed and worn out lately so we just wanted you to lighten up hyung, Hoseok said. Jin only smiled and didn't say a word. The other two didn't say anything more either and proceeded to clear the store up before closing.

"That's it for today, you both should head home now, you can consider it as me giving you a paid leave" Jin grinned.

"Well how generous our boss is, ain't we lucky suga hyung?" His sarcasm sounded more like a child excited to go home early.

"Well, you can always stay back and start the work for tomorrow too if you don't want the paid leave" Jin smirked making Hoseok shiver

"I want it, who said I didn't want a paid leave" He hurriedly corrected his mistake

"Hyung! Stop abusing your power to bully me every time I try to tease you"

"How's this counted as bullying? I'm teasing back" he spoke in a wronged tone earning funny reactions from the other two .

"Bye hyung~ see you tomorrow" The pair said their goodbyes and headed out together, Jin too waved and headed back inside to check the place before locking the cafe.

The door to the cafe had an old fashioned door chimes attached to it so that they would know when customers walked in.

The familiar light melodious chimes came from behind him so Jin knew a customer had walked in.

"Hello~" Jin greeted, he was sure another schoolgirl had walked in but he guessed wrong.

"How may I help you sir" he corrected his tone when he saw that his customer was a tall guy in a white turtle neck and coffee brown coat.

The person looked flustered when he spoke to him. "c-can I get a box of the customized chocolates?" he was taller than Jin but when he looked up timidly at Jin he looked like a little shy kid. Jin wondered if he'd be able to remember such a face if he were to see this person again.

"Uh... I'm sorry but we've already sold out on those for today, we only have store bought ones left" Jin politely informed. "would you like them?" he added feeling that the other has almost died of embarrassment.

"ah okay then, can I get two of these?" The man pointed randomly to the chocolates on the shelf.

Jin too randomly picked a strawberry flavored one and seeing the man didn't protest he proceeded to pull another one off to pack them up.

Here you go he said as he handed the chocolate with a smile.

The man accepted it and after one glance at the store headed out together with Jin.

Jin didn't bother much about the man staring around.

'he must be checking out the interior decor as a reference for his store' he thought.

After closing the store he didn't have much to do so he decided to do a little shopping for dinner. But then he remembered his brother won't be home for the night so he gave up on the idea.

Having not slept constantly might've been the cause, his body started to sway as he felt lightheaded, he didn't even realize it until his field of vision switched from horizontal to vertical and dimmed.
