Seung isn't the only one distracted. After he sent that one last text about the time, he tossed his phone down and spent the rest of his night digging through his closet, putting together and deciding against outfit after outfit. It was times like that when he started to realize that he has an annoyingly large amount of clothing and how much he hated all of it (he doesn't. He was just paralyzed by choice). There was no reason to be so stressed or anxious about picking out clothes to go to lunch in, but he spent probably three hours doing it.
And even after all of that, he woke up the following morning and put the outfit he chose back into his closet and put on something else. He started with something a little more dressy but ultimately decided that casual is better. Make it look like he didn't put hours worth of thought into it. Jeans and a t-shirt along with some carefully selected bracelets and necklaces. His hair is artfully messy and frames his face perfectly. All part of the 'effortless' look that he's going for, which took a lot of effort to achieve.
Jay arrives early as well. An over eager seeming amount of time early. In his defence, Jay is a morning person and sitting around his apartment for hours was just killing him. So he showed up at the restaurant about an hour early, and spent roughly the next half an hour browsing nearby shops. Getting to know his new city, or whatever. That means, though, that he's already inside once Seung arrives. He spends the time alone with his cell phone in hand, casually scrolling through his various social media accounts. Or at least that's what it looks like he's doing. In reality, he's staring at the time up in the corner, watching it pass minute by minute. Watching it get closer to noon. The only times he looks away from those painfully slow numbers is whenever the door opens.
Why does he feel nervous? Why is his stomach in knots? Why does it feel worse when it's finally Seung who walks through the door? Why is he letting Seung still make him feel like this?
Jay shoves his phone in his pocket and stands up at the table so Seung can easily see where he is. Here goes nothing.
