Taec’s POV

"Thanks for smiling too often today. You have that sweet smile. It heals," she said as she walked after that.

I freeze!

I stop my step, seeing her walking from behind seems so happy. You don’t know how much I want to tell you that you are my little princess since my childhood day, Micha.

“Earth calling, Mr. Ok!” she yelled at me

“Ah, wae?”

“Ya, you want to stood there like forever?” she said

I walked to her

“Dinner?Should we?” I asked her

“Chincha?”

“Ne, what do you want to eat?”

“I eat anything, Mr. Ok. You know me, right?” she said with that aegyo.

God, I want to pinch her cheeks now, but this hand didn’t make any move. Stupid!

“Anything, eh? Promise me, you’ll eat anything I choose”, I challenge her

“As long as its still human’s food”

“Okay, lets go,” I grabbed her hand.

We walked to the nearest western restaurant. Is it me, or her or both of us didn’t notice that we walked as we holding hand each other. Okay, its me who grabbed her hand first, but as we walked she tightened her finger around mine. Yeah our finger fitted each other. God! I love you!

“Good evening, Sir. Welcome to our restaurant” the waiter welcoming us

“I need a table for two people” I said

“Oh a date! Please, this way sir”

“Aniya!” Micha said with surprise tone

“Ne?” The waiter looked at her then laughed as his eyes looked to our hands

I freeze, she freeze

“You can let go of my hand now!” I said, with-that-cold-tone.

“Ya! You grabbed my hand first, by the way! She replied as she let go of my hand

Then we walked to our table..

“What do you want to eat?” I asked

“Uhm.. I want uhm.. Tenderloin steak and uhm lime squash”

“Okay, one tenderloin steak, one lime squash, one fettucini and one lemon tea” I told the waiter

Its raining outside and we seat near the window. Think taec think! You cant be like this, make another conversation!

“So, feeling better now, princess?” I broke the silent

“Yeah better, thanks Mr. Ok!” she smile widely

I chuckled

“Whoaa, you smile a lot today and now I just see you chuckled in front of me” she surprised

“Ani, its so ridiculous. You cried like baby few hours ago and now you are a happy little princess smile widely like nothing happen before”

Suddenly her expression changed again

“Can we just don’t talk about bad things that happened today?” she said

“Ne, I’m sorry”

“I think I need to go toilet” I saw her eyes teary again

“No, ani! Wait!” I grabbed her hand “If you gonna cry there, don’t go. You can cry here in front of me”

She tried so hard to holding her tears..

“Ani, I’m not gonna cry anymore” she said as she wiped her tiny tears

And we still holding hands again..

“Excuse me,” the waiter comes

I let go of her hand then the waiter placed all menu in front of us.

" Jalmogoseumida" we said it together without notice

And both of us laughed

“Need help?” I give her my offer

“what?”

I took her plate then sliced the meat into tiny pieces

The dinner is quite nice, we talked about our parents, about her school (minus that bastard of course) about my college year, about seoul and about praha. As the rain stopped, we are done and I paid for the bill.

“thanks for coming sir, have a nice date" the waiter give his farewell to us.

I hope Micha didn’t notice my smile and my red-ear after I heard what the waiter said to us.

Its already 9PM but myeongdong still crowded with lots of people and car. My phone ringing

“Ne, Aunty Lee”

“Ne, She is with me, we just having dinner”

“Ne, We’ll back soon”

“Ne, anyyeong”

Aunty Lee, Micha’s mom.

“Who is it?” she asked me

“Your mom, seems like she didn’t mind me to bring you out till this hour” I

“Whoaa, mom is really something!” she said

“Yaa, before we go home, can we stopped to the nearest book store?” I asked her permission as we walked to the parking lot

“Sure”

Stupid me, I didn’t notice she still in her uniform. That’s why people keep staring at her.

“Micha, wear this” I took of my jacket

“Ne?”

“Wear this jacket” I placed my jacket around her “I don’t like people keep staring to the student who walked beside me”

“But how about you then?”

“You pabo, I still wear my tshirt” I her hair

We walked through the night flea market, which is crowded with all people

“Taec, lets walk together” she hang on my shirt

I stop and look at her "You sure? Together?”

“Ne, too much people here”

“Don’t regret this okay?” I said as I pulled her closer, my left hand around her shoulder and I placed her right hand on my waist,

“Like this. Together” I swear to God, what the hell that I’m doing right now?

“…..” she only looked at me confusingly

“…..” we start walking

And we keep in silent till we reach parking lot. I opened the door for her. Pleased her in. She keep in silent then I buckled her seatbelt and mine, started to engine

“Princess”

“…..”

“Micha” I called her again

“…..” she keep in silent

“Earth calling, Lee Michaaaaa~” I raised up my voice

“Ah ne! What? Wae?”

“I’ll go the bookstore, and you just wait here, Okay? It wouldn’t take too long” I said

“Okay”

I run to the bookstore as fast as I can. It takes 10 minutes for me to sit in front of my steering wheel again.

“Done?” she said as I placed the book on the backseat

“Ne”

“What are you buying?”

“A book, for Miyoung” I answered

“Miyoung?”

***

We arrived at home around 11PM, and Micha already sleep since our way to home. I tried to wake her up but it didn’t work. Then I decided to carry her to her room.

I placed her to bed, took off her shoes and covered her with blanket. She is sleeping with my jacket. Seems like she really tired for this super-long-day. God, I know I shouldn’t do this without her permission, but I cant help my self. I planted a kiss on her forehead

“Sleep tight, little princess” I said then I turn off the lamp

God, forgive me for doing this!
