It wasn’t even surprising at this point. The sky is blue, the sun rises from the east, and Y/N is late for her 8AM. I mean, it was your fault that despite waking up late, you still stood in line at the campus cafe to get your americano. You justified it by telling yourself you would not understand the material if you didn’t have your caffeine, but the caffeine isn’t of any use if you aren't in class, now is it? Lost in your thoughts, you don’t even notice the 6’2” beanpole walking towards you.

Mingyu was late to class. Mingyu. Kim Mingyu was late to class. He was never late to class, let alone a stupid 8AM. But then again, who can he blame but himself? He was the one who still wanted his coffee despite having woken up late. He’s cursing himself out and walking so fast that he doesn’t even notice when the collision happens

You scream as you feel the icy drink hit you, successfully pulling the guy in front of you out of his thoughts. His eyes widen as he pulls out a handkerchief from his pocket, handing it to you with an apologetic smile.

“I’m so sorry, it’s just that I was late for class and didn’t notice you coming.” He explains sheepishly. You roll your eyes, a sarcastic smirk playing on your lips.

“Even I’m late for class, you don’t see me bulldozing my way through campus, do you?” You retort, clearly angry.

He’s about to say something when he hears you mutter something under your breath

“Pagal log, pata nahi kahan se aa jate hain” (Crazy people, don’t know where they come from)

He merely smirks before answering you, “Mumbai. Crazy people like me come from Mumbai.”

You look at him incredulously before walking away from him and the entire conversation. In a moment of fury, you turn around and yell back at him, “Even I’m from Mumbai, so FUCK YOU!”

Finally at peace with the encounter, you run off to class, your untouched coffee in Mingyu’s hands.

Mingyu watches you run off to class and can’t help but laugh at the sheer absurdity of the situation. He throws his now empty coffee cup in the trash before drinking yours. As he walks into his building, he realises something.

You are the only other Indian student on campus, and you hate him. Great. Just great.

Also, he never got your name.

The next time you meet the ‘beanpole’, as your friends had dubbed him after listening to your encounter with the man, it’s the same way as before. Except this time, you are the one at fault.

You’re walking to the library while on the phone with your mother, who was per usual, rambling about you getting married so you can take over your father’s ‘empire’ (her words, not yours). You let out an exasperated sigh and are about to tell her that there’s still 5 whole months left for you to graduate when you, quite literally, walk into him. Him as in the ‘beanpole’ from the incident 3 weeks ago.

In hindsight, it was your fault the collision happened in the first place. But you, in your frustration, yell at him to fucking move and not stand in the way of people who have places to be, unlike himself.

Mingyu had been having a painfully average day until he had gone to the campus cafe to get his daily dose of caffeine. The coffee hadn’t even touched his lips before someone, literally, walked into him, resulting in him spilling his coffee all over his brand new tee. He looked at the person only to realise it was you, the Indian kid from last time. He was about to comment on how you two should really stop pouring coffee on each other when he’s interrupted by you…yelling?

He’s a nice person, really. But when you start yelling at him unprompted for something that was clearly your fault, Mingyu all but loses it.

“Okay! This ends here! I don’t know who you think you are, but this time, it is YOUR fault. I will admit, last time I was being an idiot but you do not get to yell at me for something YOU did. And anyway, you seem completely fine, I’M the one drenched in coffee, aren’t I?!”

Now, it’s your turn to be dumbstruck by him. You just blink at him a few times before collecting yourself.

“I’m sorry for that. I shouldn’t have that.” and with that, you leave the cafe.

It’s after you're well out of his line of sight that he realises.

He still didn’t get your name. But come to think of it, he doesn’t even want to know your name at this point. So what if you’re the only Indian kid? He can survive with his current friends just fine.

The next time the two of you are in each other’s vicinity, it’s a restaurant an hour away from campus. You had booked a booth with your friends for a celebratory dinner on the occasion of finals week ending and Mingyu was there for Eunwoo’s birthday.

“I mean, the awning is meant for people to stand under and drink their coffee, you’re the one that had ‘places to be’ so if anything, you should be apologising to him” your best friend, Jennifer tells you. Karina nods affirmatively, engrossed in whatever she’s doing on her phone. You sigh (albeit, dramatically) before answering her,

“I thought you guys were my friends, I guess not.”

“We are your friends, which is why we’re telling you to apologise for something that was clearly your fault.”

Karina doesn’t respond to that, which prompts the two of you to look at her, only to find her texting someone with a lovesick stupid grin plastered on her face. Both you and Jennifer sigh in unison when you remember the date.

30th March.

Her boyfriend’s birthday.

You knock on the table to get her attention.

“Karina! I am going through a crisis here. This is not the time to be texting your birthday boy.”

“And here I am listening to you when I should be with my birthday boy! What more do you want from me, y/n? My soul?!”

Jennifer merely chuckles at your exchange, having gotten used to your catfights. Just another booth over, a very similar conversation was taking place.

Mingyu huffs as he drops his backpack onto one of the seats in the booth. Both Jeongguk and Eunwoo’s classes ended before his, so he was the last one there.

“You made it! And, you aren’t drenched in coffee!” exclaims Jeongguk. Eunwoo lets out a laugh at the unexpected comment. Mingyu grumbles out something about having ‘fucking idiots for friends’ when Eunwoo’s phones goes off. His face visibly falls when he reads the text. Mingyu and Jeongguk exchange a glance before asking him,

“What happened?”

He sighs sadly before looking at them.

“Karina said she’s going to be late because her friend’s going through something.”

Mingyu immediately lights up with an idea to cheer up his friend. After all, no one should be sad on their birthday.

“How about this? I’ll tell y’all about my week until your girl gets here, cool?”

“Yeah, that seems like a good idea. So, what’d the coffee girl do this week?”

“Don’t even get me started, Woo.”

An hour later, you’re finally done lamenting to your friends about everything that’s happened since the last time you saw them. Karina asks you at least thrice if you’re done so she can finally go to her boyfriend. You and Jennifer look at each other and collectively pass a comment about how much she LOVES her boyfriend and she calls you a ‘pathetic bachelor’ in return.

As she get out of the booth, you and Jennifer follow her out, having finished your cakes and taking your coffee to go. Karina stops abruptly, resulting in you bumping into her back. You’re about to make a snarky remark about how she’s late to her boyfriend’s birthday lunch when you see him.

Mingyu was finally done updating his friends about his week when Eunwoo’s phone lit up with another text, presumably his girlfriend. He smiles as he reads out the text to the two sitting in front of him.

“Just got done with girls. On my way.”

Jeongguk says something about her having perfect timing, but Mingyu ignores in favour of gawking at the devil outside his booth. You.

The two of you obviously have issues to work through because the next thing you know, you’re swinging your coffee at him. And at the same time, he grabs his milkshake to throw at you. Time seems to slow down as the two of you realise what you just did. The realisation doesn’t even set in completely before you’re being pulled away by your friends and Mingyu by his.

Yunjin drags you to the restroom to clean you up to some extent. Karina comes in and promptly yells at you. “Do you even know who he is?!”

Meanwhile, in the men’s room, Jeongguk’s giving Mingyu his spare shirt for him to change into as Eunwoo screams at him, “Do you even know who she is?!”

Both Karina and Eunwoo, unbeknownst to them, yell out in unison,

“That person might as well be royalty with how much influence they have. And you just threw your drink on them like it’s NOTHING?!”

Confused, you ask her for his name,

“His name is Mingyu.”

Puzzled, he asks him for your name,

“Her name is Y/N.”

While he reeks of coffee, he at least got your name. Y/N. ‘It suits you’, he thinks in the far corner of his mind.
