Mia here. Not MIA, Mia. And here's my story about the guy I found cute and tried numerous times to talk to finally talking to me. You'll be in for a ride with my best friends HImchan, Junhong and Jaz. There's the boy Daehyun too. And a couple of other unnescessary people coming along our way.

“I hope you enjoyed our hospitality tonight” Mr.Jung smiled.

“Thank you for treating me so well. I should take my leave.”

“Daehyun, go drop her off, it’s very late.” Mrs.Jung ordered.

“I’m not letting her limp all the way home.” Daehyun laughed as he pocketed his keys. “Let’s go?”

“Yeah, let’s go- Oomph!”and I was back in daehyun’s arms as he walked down the steps to the house to the car. “Daehyun put me down this is embarassing”

“You’re so light, did you even eat?” he teased.

“I had three serving now put me down.” I admitted and patted his shoulder to put me down.

“Come back again soon!” the little one waved from the doorstep.

“I’ll try when I’m not on crutches ,” I laughed as the idiot finally lowered me to the ground. Pulling out of the driveway, we both knew the ride was going to be a short one. “Can you explain why I’m wearing your sweater and what I’m guessing are your mother’s leggings?”

“You can’t be wearing dirty clothes at the dinner table with strangers can you?”

“I also didn’t need to wear your favourite sweater.”

“Eh, keep it. It looks better on you anyways.”

“Daehyun-”

“I hope you liked my family’s company tonight, you really won them over with your cooking and good looks.” He blurted. This is awkward.

“You think I’m good looking?” A beat of silence filled the car. “I saw hesitation. It’s okay I know I’m not the prettiest.”

“It’s not like that”

“Screw it.” A gentle push to the door slammed it shut. “Thanks for the ride home, as punishment for being a jerk lunch is on you tomorrow.”

“Good night, beautiful.” He smiled before my crutches swung back and forth, the car didn’t move from it’s spot as I entered the house. Only upon turning on the lights to my room did I see his car finally pull away from the kerb.

Only then did I realise the alight pain in my chest once he drove away. It wasn’t the kind the doctor could fix.
