*Third person's POV*
Annie was busy doing some paper work, when she heard someone knock at the door of her cabin..
Annie: Yes. Come in.
Jin: Hey...
Annie: Oh hi, come in.
Jin: Chang is being released...
Annie: Yeah. He's doing fine now. But he needs to take it easy for some more time. Make sure he takes enough rest.
Jin: Yeah sure. Well..?
Annie: hmm?
Jin: You remember about the coffee right?
Annie: *smiling*"yeah... what about it?
Jin: "Did you decide?"
Annie: "mmhm"
Jin: "So?"
Annie: "I guess I could go"
Jin: *grinning* "....Great! So, can I have your number?"
Annie: ...!
Jin: "You know... for planning the time & date? Chang is being released...so..."
Annie: *after pausing for a moment* "hmm.. i guess"
Jin: "Ok......."
Annie: "Here's my card. Drop me a text with your name."
Jin: "Yeah. So.. um, see you soon?"
Annie: "mmhmm.."
*Jin's POV*
"Can I have your number?" I asked her, but all I got was a surprized look.
Before she could say anything, I started explaining," you know..for planning the time & date?"
"I guess?" She said.
'Damn! Such a relief' I thought. I didn't wanna seem like some creep. It was my first time asking for a woman's number. I am used to the other way round, not this.
Somehow she made me nervous. Everytime I see her I start stuttering.
'Man up, Jin. Don't be a chicken. You can do it. Armys swoon over you. You are the worldwide handsome!' I consoled myself.
She gave me her card. While I was taking it from her, her hands touched mine.
'.....................'
'What am I? A f*cking teenager?'
"Drop me a text with your name" she said.
"Yeah" I calmly replied, while I was actually freaking out from the inside.
I left quickly.
'Joon! Where are you, when I need you?!'
******************
"Joonnnnnn"
"What?"
"Jooooooooooooon"
"Oh god, ugh! I am right here, Jin. What happened?"
"She said she'd go out for coffee with me! Also, I asked for her number"
"Did she give it?"
"Yes"
"Well, then good. Let me sleep now."
"Joon!"
"Ughhh! What?"
"She asked me to text her. What shall I do?"
"Well just text her? Stop overthinking & stop being so shy, Jin! You're 28 already!"
"Okay. Should I just text her my name?"
"Dear Lord! Seriously? Just your name?"
"No? Then what?"
"Am I going out with her? Or you?"
"Me"
"Then you decide. Let me sleep. Go"
Namjoon can never be of help when needed.
Maybe I should just text her the time & date? Or maybe I should first ask when she'll be free?

*Annie's POV*
I was lying on the couch, watching Benji, when I received a text :
Hey! ~Jin
Replying to Jin: Hi.
Jin: Busy?
Annie: No. Just watching a movie
Jin: Can I call?
Annie: Yeah, sure.
~*ring ring*~
Annie: Hello?
Jin: Hi. Sorry to call you.. I am not very good with conversations. I..uh.. so....
Annie: It's fine. No worries
Jin: ....ok
Annie: umm.. so?
Jin: ... a..are you free tomorrow?
Annie: *paused for a moment*
Jin: Hello?
Annie: Yeah.. I was checking my schedule..
Jin: So?
Annie: I've a half-day. I guess I could manage in the evening..
Jin: Great. So....would you like to go?
Annie: Where?
Jin: Leave it upto me. There's a cafè I know & you'll love it there.
Annie: okay!
Jin: Yeah, so see you tomorrow evening?
Annie: yeah.. around 5?
Jin: Sure.. bye then...
Annie: bye..
~*Disconnects call*~
'I am smiling. Why am I smiling? It's just coffee Ann!!!!
I just met him few days back, but why do I feel that there's a spark between us?
I have literally not paid attention to any man since Zack.
Why now all of a sudden?
*ting* ~received a message~
Jin: Good night Annie. Looking forward to tomorrow.
I could literally feel butterflies in my stomach...
Ugh. Don't overthink Annie!
He seems to be a nice man.
There's no harm in going out for a coffee. I'm sure I'll prove Pete wrong...
I will, right?'
