Chapter 5
The Successful Woman's Guide in Finding yourself
The next morning, I was woken up by the buzzing of my phone.
From: Unknown
To: You
9:45AM -------------------
Hey, it's Taeyang. (:
I was wondering if you'd like to hang out with the guys
and I later? We're just going to catch a movie and something
to eat. We'll catch you around 12. See you then~ :)
To: Taeyang
From: Me
9:50AM -------------------
Yeah, sure. See you guys! (: (:
Despite the fact that Taeyang was a really great guy, I little part of me wanted Seunghyun to show up. Last time we met, he barely talked. But something about his appearance was just irking me. I just wanted to get to know him.
I brushed my teeth and made my way downstairs to greet halmeoni. When I got downstairs, I noticed Amanda strewn across the couch watching TV with Taecyeon.
I whacked Amanda on the and said, "So nice of you to join us."
She stuck her tongue out at me. "What's this I hear about you going on a date?"
"Nothing, just an outing with one of Tae's friends. He was pretty nice and cute, but I don't see it going anywhere."
"He's cute, Toni. Why won't it go anywhere?" Amanda said sitting up.
"He's more like a Taecyeon."
"Enough said." She quickly responded.
"Wait, what?!" Taecyeon said redirecting his attention to Amanda and I.
"I'm in the next room! I couldn't hear you!" I yelled.
"You kids are crazy." Halmeoni chuckled. "Now, sit and eat. Amanda, Taecyeon! Come!"
They crowded into the kitchen and sat at the table. We all began stuffing our mouths with the delicious food my grandmother made.
"Tae, are you and Amanda going to come to see a movie with Taeyang and the guys?" I said shoving food into my mouth.
Amanda and him both stopped gorging themselves at the same time.
"Actually..." Amanda began to say. "Taecyeon and I are going to do some things on our own." She weakly smiled.
"Yeah, so you'll be going with the guys alone." Tae said cheerfully.
"The hell you guys?!"
Halmeoni glared at me.
"I-I mean, why didn't you guys tell me?!" I yelped.
"Well, it was kind of last minute." Tae said sipping his drink. "You'll be fine. Taeyang, Seunghyun, and Jiyong are going. You guys already met. No worries."
I finished the rest of my breakfast and walked back to my room, somewhat upset. While those to are off having their little fling, I'll be alone with Taecyeon's friends. Great.
------------------------------------------------------
I waited outside of the cafe Taeyang said to meet at and there was no sign of them. Maybe I showed up too early.
"Eun! Over here!" I heard someone yell. Only Taeyang knew my name, but it didn't sound like him. I looked around until I saw someone with dreadful, bright red hair.
"Jiyong?! Your hair..." I said wide-eyed.
Jiyong came up and hugged me as Taeyang and Seunghyun followed behind.
"Hey, you look great today." Taeyang said admiring my coral romper, white sweater, and mesh Toms.
I smiled and bowed. as I looked back up, I noticed Seunghyun looking me up and down. As we locked eyes for a split second, he redirected his attention to Taeyang.
"Let's eat!" Taeyang chimed.
"Yeah! I'm hungry!" Jiyong yelled.
We took a seat in a booth. Even though Taeyang was sitting next to me, Seunghyun kept me peeking at him from across the table. I knew he was handsome, but his features were so chiseled, his jawline perfectly sculpted. His lips were well defined and tan and his bleached hair was perfectly combed into the mohawk style he wore when I first met him. He was so well put together and classy versus Taeyang's more... Unique style. I couldn't keep myself from staring at him. His clothing was well tailored, button down hitting him in all the right places. He just looked so... Perfect.
Suddenly, there was a waving hand in my face and then a flash of red. "Eun! What are you ordering?"
My eyes slightly fluttered, not aware of the fact of how long I was staring.
"Oh, um, just get me what you're getting, Jiyong." I said smiling.
He nodded and headed off to the counter with Taeyang to order. It was painfully awkward, sitting alone with Seunghyun. I felt that I shouldn't have been in his presence. I was only corrupting his near flawless appearance.
"So, did you have a good time with Taeyang?" His deep voice suddenly muttered.
"Y-Yeah." I replied, kind of in awe. It was the first time he directly spoken to me.
Silence.
"He told us about you. Eun Kyung, isn't it? It's a nice name, but I personally prefer Toni. It's different to what I'm used to." He continued.
"Oh, um, thanks." I muttered. Was he initiating a conversation? Why was I so nervous about the whole thing?
"Are you and Taeyang going on another date?" He asked suddenly. Why would he ask that? Was he interested in me? Probably not.
"I don't know. Did he say anything?" I asked curiously.
He was having a thumb war with himself as he looked over to Jiyong and Taeyang who were approaching the table with drinks.
"They'll be here with our food in a few." Tae said sitting back next to me. I felt slightly uncomfortable then. Was he planning to ask me out again?
----------------------------------------------
It was geting darker as we approached the movie theater. Seunghyun and I got to know each other a little better. He was a pretty funny and down- to-earth guy. He was probably more my type than anyone I've ever dated, not that we were dating or anything. His teeth glistened as he laughed and his smile was to die for.
As we made our way into the theater, Seunghyun and I agreed to buy the snacks. The line wasn't as small as we hoped, but it did buy me some time to be alone with Seunghyun again.
"You know, you have a nice smile." I stated unconsciously. No, no, no, no, no. Think before you speak!
He looked like he was slightly caught off guard, but lightly chuckled and rubbed his chin as looked to the floor.
He looked back up at me. "You're not that bad yourself."
"I-I.." I could only repeat myself. We didn't know each other too well, but his compliment gave me butterflies.
"I think it's my turn to ask you to hang out." He said looking at the snack menu. I looked at him, processing what he just said.
"S-Sure.." I said trailing off. I had to keep my composure. Otherwise, I would've done a little dance.
"Good, I'll take you to a place I know after the movie's over." He said handing money to the young boy at the counter.
I would have preferred a classier way of doing things, but hey, I was pretty excited about going out with Seunghyun.
Maybe a little too excited....
