After A Long Long While

How can I describe my feeling today? I’m too joyful to even find a word for it. AeRi agreed to go on a date with me. We’re on our way to the Seoul tower by cable car, we know there’re busses running straight to it, but I think we’re just trying being silly and trying things that teenagers do. AeRi looks better this afternoon. She put on an A-line forest green dress with a pair of silver heels. She lets her long auburn hair down and only accessories it with a matching silver hair clip. She looks stunning to me nonetheless.

“So, pick whatever you want okay. I don’t want you to end up starving after this because you’re reluctant to order up.” She hands me the menu.

“Arraseo..” I look through the menu and try to find something that’s not too pricey but also not a salad.

The waiter come to bring us choices of wine, we decided on a 2006 Australian shiraz and we’re both ordering the steak to pair up with the wine.

“Thank you for this.” I raise my glass and she raises hers to for toast.

“No, thank YOU.” she sips her wine. “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t be here today.”

“We’re not going to have dessert here, are we?” I play along.

“Nope, I have another plan for dessert.”

I smirk to this. Is this the way she teases me?

“Ya! I really have another plan for dessert, and it’s not what you think. !”

 

After the early dinner, we took a bus to the bank of Han River. She has this crazy idea of a picnic by the river bank. During winter.

“Do you know how cold it is today?” I try to reason with her idea.

“I know.” She points a bench and drag  me to sit on it.

“Is this the picnic you’re talking about? Where’s the blanket? Where’s the typical bread and wine?” I pinch her nose to annoy her.

“Ya, you’ll ruin my make-up. Stop pinching me.”

I open my coat and wrap it around her.

“TaecYeon-a.. gomawo.” She locks eyes with me.

“It’s just a coat.”

“No, I mean for everything.”

Okay so I guess we’re g
