chapter 10

" I expect all of you to study hard for your mid term examination tomorrow. This is a great opportunity to show universities that they should accept you. Fighting!! Okay?"I sighed before closing the books. The pressure is surreal. I have exams tomorrow for mid terms ,and then two days after that, I have the entrance exams for the medical University I applied to. Why did they both had to happen in the same week?" It's okay Dara!" Yuri says patting my back. " I know you can do it."" I just need to unwind. I think I'm not ready for tomorrow."I admit." I know a way to cheer you up." She excitedly says while rest of the students who attend the night school leaves." Pack your stuff and follow me."" Why?" I ask giving her a smile. " Where are we going?"" You surely need some caffeine in your system, so we are going to the cafe!!"Sometimes, I hate her for knowing me so damn well.•••The streets of Daegu around this time of the night is quite surprising. Especially for this specific street because it looks like the night is just starting for them. Lights are flashing on and off, people buying a lot of street food, and shops becoming really busy due to a lot of customers.I guess the fact it is a Friday night, makes sense, but still it's quite surprising yet fun. I'm really glad that we decided to go walk on the way here instead of getting on the bus." Here we are!!" Yuri excitedly opens the glass door of the coffee shop. It's my first time going here because it's a new shop and ofcourse Yuri would definitely know about this since she's somewhat a coffee connoisseur.As soon as I enter the coffee shop, a whiff of freshly brewed coffee hits my nostrils along with the smell of freshly baked cookies and cupcakes. How would I love to work in a coffee shop like this!" Ah! Yuri." The barrista from the front greets her with a smile. He looks a little older than us, maybe a year or two. " Do you want your regular order?"" Not today, Minho." ( A/n:- Okay guys, this is not Lee Minho, please...)She smiles back, taking a seat on the one of the stools infront of barista. " We are  here today because we have exams tomorrow."" Wow! And who is this lovely girl?" He asks, looking at me." She's Dara." She introduces me to him as I take a seat beside her. " She's my best friend I was talking to you about."" Hey!" I greet him. " Wait. What did she tell you about me?"" Oh, nothing much." He laughs wiping the counters." Just the fact that you like baking and cooking. Oh and that you had never had a boyfriend before."I gasp. " Yuri!!" I swat my palm against her arm. " Why do you tell people that kind of stuff?"” It's okay! He's my friend. And he is the son of the owner of the shop as well." Yuri clings into my arm in an apologetic way.  " And besides, he wouldn't tell anyone. Right, Minho?"" Ofcourse, I think that makes a girl very precious too."" A girl who has never had a boyfriend is precious?" I ask, confused." Yeah! It means they are still innocent and pure." He nods." Minho!" Yuri exclaimed as she laughed. " Just give us two caramel macchiato please."" Coming right up!" He blinks to both of us.•••Yuri and I decided to drink our beverages while walking back home because it getting late. People are still walking on these busy streets though  while the street lights shine very brightly on the posts.We pass by a lot of shops, but in this particular area was the arcade that is always open for twenty -four hours. I have never been inside an arcade before and I always wonder what's inside. I stand infront of the arcade, imagining what might be inside of this building. It's about two stories high, and the design, colours and lights make it stand out a lot from rest of the shops.After a while, I suddenly felt something hot spreading to my shirt, pulling me away from my trance. I blinked twice only to see a mascot standing infront of me after knocking out my coffee on my clothes, basically by bumping into me.My white school shirt was now stained with the brown drink."Aigoo!" Yuri quickly takes out a piece of paper from her purse and starts dabbing it into my shirt. I looked at the bear mascot who was  distributing flyers for the arcade. It did not move or anything, it just stood right infront of me like it didn't knew what to do." Can you be careful next time?" Yuri barks, yes barks angrily at the mascot." What would have you done if she had had burnt herself up?"The mascot still didn't move until an old looking man comes out, with a name tag on his right chest that reads manager.He apologized right away and made us stay in the lobby area of the arcade where there are booths to collect the prizes and buy the tokens from. " We are very sorry." The manager follows us and bows his head. " Say sorry to her."The mascot behind him shakes his large head. The manager furrows his eyebrows and pulls the mascot with his forearm in one of the booths. "Give us a second,please."" How rude!" Yuri is still patting the coffee stain on my shirt and to be honest, I'm feeling really awkward. " I'll be right back." She says. " I'll soak these napkins on soap water."I nod and she turns her way to find washroom. I looked at the mascot and the manager. The manager seemed to be furious at the mascot, scolding him while he still has his suit on.They soon come back, the mascot now walking infront of the manager. They stop as they reach me and the manager nudges the mascot with his elbow while giving me an awkward smile.The mascot hesitates at first, but then slowly raises his huge, furry head costume.  My mouth gaped open and my eyes widened when I saw the person beneath the mascot suit. I can't believe it!Yoongi.A/n:- Hehe, I honestly thought to write that it was a cat mascot instead of a bear one but that would have killed the suspence, right?How far is the story?
