I walked into the café, looking around. I spotted him immediately: Jeok-bong, sitting at a table by the window, wearing an overly ironed shirt and a nervous smile that disappeared every time I thought I wasn't looking.

I approached slowly. He was concentrating on his phone, moving the photos with his finger. I caught a glimpse of the screen.

Vac… cows?

Yes. Pictures of cows. Lots of them. Cows grazing, cows with flowers, a selfie of her with a cow in the background.

For a moment I doubted it was a joke. I stood there, saying nothing, just watching. He was still so wrapped up in his own world that he didn't even notice I'd arrived.

Ok… this was a mistake I thought, taking a step back to leave without being seen.

But just then he looked up. Ah... are you here yet? he said, with that awkward smile that I couldn't tell if it was from excitement or nerves.

I nodded with an awkward smile. Yes, but… it seems you're busy, so-

“No, no!” she interrupted, quickly putting her phone away, almost knocking over the glass of water. I was just… looking through some photos of… my friends.

I looked at him with a raised eyebrow Your friends?

Well… yes, uh… the cows he answered with total sincerity, as if that clarified everything.

I remained silent. He laughed softly, trying to break the tension. They're very photogenic, you know? One even smiles when I call her name.

I didn't know whether to laugh or run away. You have… very unique tastes I said finally.

He nodded, folding his hands on the table. That's what they say. But I'm glad you came. I thought you wouldn't.

His gaze was so honest that, without knowing why, I decided to sit down.

The silence stretched for a few seconds, until he spoke again: Want to see one? There's one that looks like she's posing for a magazine.

I just sighed, trying not to laugh.

don't leave him alone hehe
