LOVE

I was just about to give up on this whole stupid idea and leave the booth when I heard the murmurs of a group of guys coming close to the booths area. They seem to go quiet and soon footsteps come close to me stopping just in front of me. Money is slid inside the slot and a bundle of nerves fills my body. "I can feel you breathing," I mumbled trying to calm myself only to fail as his lips find mine. The kiss is short but the tingles fill my body and seem to last even after we are apart. Patting my head he chuckles and walks away.

Once I was able to function properly I quickly remove the blindfold in hopes of catching a glance at mystery guy who stole a kiss from me so easily. I mean how can a guy just kiss a girl like that and leave so easily? Looking around I try to find a hint of him anywhere sadly my eyes were way too sensitive from being blindfolded for so long. Sighing I look in the drop box where he left his money and frowned in it was a piece of paper and at least two hundred dollars which is way more than what the booth need to earn a hundred is even too much for a kissing booth.

Opening the note I find myself in even more shock. You should go enjoy the fair too. Taking his advice I close the booth and go to look for my friends. Of course, I find them at the dunking booth where the football team is working. After spending about twenty minutes prying them away we are currently roaming around looking for a good spot to relax.

"So are you going to tell us or are you just gonna continue to be really annoying until you find a seat?" Glare at Bliss I continue marching forward to one of my favorite places. It's in the far corner of the courtyard facing out towards everything else. Plopping down under the tree I wait for bliss and the others to follow. "So what was so important that you had to drag us away from soaked and shirtless football players?"

Sometimes I wonder why I hang out with these boy crazy girls. "Well for one you guys left me alone at the booth for over an hour and two I made two hundred dollars." Looking at me they gasp which isn't a surprise considering I didn't want to be a part of the booth in the first place. "You actually let a bunch of random guys kiss you?" Jade asked pushing my shoulder lightly. "No, just one guy." A small smile finds my lips as I think about the kiss his lips felt so soft and plush against mine and that stupid yet familiar coffee taste he left behind.

"Look at her she's practically drooling." Shaking my head I look at a very annoying group of guys I've known my whole life. "Shh, they'll freak if they find out I let some random kiss me especially Jay." Jade and Bliss laugh making zipper motions across their lips. "Mina, why are you just sitting under the tree come play some games with your favorite brother." Getting up I quickly run to him knowing how Jade and Bliss can be. "What are we going to play?" Patting my head he leads me towards the karaoke booth run by seven of the most breathtaking guys on the campus.

Why would he bring me here I can't sing in front of them especially with the way they seem to stare into your soul. "Jay, I'm not going to sing its too embarrassing especially in front of them I'm going to go find Bliss again." Before I can walk away he grabs my arm pulling me quite forcefully towards the booth. "Don't be a fangirl Mina they don't matter." Huffing I watch the ground I think I might have pushed a button with him and he is mad I don't even wanna see the others.

"What song will it be?" Looking up I an met with a pair of soft eyes and a kind smile to match. "Troye Sivan fools," Jay says rolling his eyes at Jimin. I stumble forward as Jay pushes me towards the little stage. "Don't be nervous," Taehyung whispers to me as he hands me the mic. Taking a deep breath I try to work up the strength to sing this song in front of them. They are considered the kings of our schools performing arts department. Hearing the music start I find my heart in my stomach like how can I do this?

Okay, so I'll just look at the screen and everything will be perfectly fine. As soon as the words appear I start to sing and the more I do it the calmer I become. Soon I am so engulfed by the music I don't notice the crowd gathering around me listening to me sing. Nor did I notice him at the front of it smiling at me not until the song ended and he was the first person I laid eyes on.

Namjoon former friend of Jay until Jay realized I liked him. Yes, I like him I even told him once but he told me I was too young and that I should find someone my age given I was like six but it still hurt. Being three years older than me doesn't mean much I think older guys are just better weirdly enough.

I probably look like a creep staring at him so intently but like honestly he is too attractive for his own good. "Stop drooling and come on." Jay pulls me away from the stage and through the crowd while I continue to try and stare at Namjoon for as long as possible. "Ow, Jay let go my wrist is gonna bruise if you pull any harder." Letting go of my arm he turns to face me anger written clear across his face. "You really can't help yourself can you Mina."

"Mean seriously could you be anymore fucking obvious about this dumb ass crush you have on him? Its been twelve fucking years and you have yet to stop your obsessing. You know I've put up with this long because I truly believed you let it go but I'm so fucking sick of dealing with how pathetic you are." I could stand to listen to him so I did the only thing I slapped him. It took us both by surprise honestly I've never been one for violence but, he was asking for it.

"I'm so sick of you Jay always thinking you always have to take care of me and lecture me on everything. You always make me do things I don't want to do and get mad when things don't go the way you want. So what if I like someone who doesn't like me back it's my business not yours. And since I am such a burden on you I'll do you a favor. You stay away from me and I'll stay far from you."

Using the last bit of energy left in my body I leave him. I don't feel like being at the fair anymore so I go to the cafe not far from the school. Maybe a little caffeine will brighten my mood. Quickly making my way through the crowd of kids filing out of the shop I let the familiar scent calm my nerves.

Bitter yet sweet and all the things in between. "How can I help you today?" Looking through the endless caffeinated options I settle on something new to me. "One caramel macchiato please." After handing him the money to pay for my drink I find a seat by the window towards the back of the small shop. Pulling out my phone I scroll through the endless pictures of people at the fair. It seems to plague all of my social feed.

"Your coffee," looking up I am meet with the guy that took my order holding a mug filled to the rim with my treat. "Thank you." Taking the mug from him I place it down going back to my endless scrolling. "We have a great book selection if you feel like reading something." Looking back up at the guy I nod looking over to what appears to be a mini library.

Seeing him walk away I take a sip of my coffee and a sigh leaves me. Taking another sip something in me clicks even though this is my first time trying this coffee after Bliss recommended it endlessly. It taste familiar but how do I know this taste? That guy from the booth I remember tasting something like this on his lips.

Smiling lightly I drink the rest of my coffee watching the people on the streets pass bye.
