Jieun arrived 15 minutes earlier, she sighed knowing she would need to wait for Myungsoo. Myungsoo has never been on time, although he never been late for class, he never arrives on time for appointment. Despite the fact, Jieun choose to arrive earlier than usual, allowing herself to waste some more time.

However, this time, she spent quite a long time to pick some dress and clothes. Myungsoo didn’t tell her where they are going, it’s quite bothering since she couldn’t pick a suitable clothes. She doesn’t think they would be going to an amusement park again, so she decided to pick a pol-ka-dot dress. As usual, she took a taxi to the school after lying to her sister.

It was a promise ever since the beginning, the fact that the two of them are pretending to date shouldn’t be known by Pil Suk. Pil Suk should remain clueless, not knowing the secret. It was a decision that Jieun made on her own, without giving Myungsoo a choice. The whole world may know the two are dating but not Pil Suk. She shall never know.

It was quite a selfish decision, but she has no choice either. Myungsoo was a part of Pil Suk’s dark past, before she committed a suicide that keep her in a state of coma for quite a long time. Knowing Jieun dated Myungsoo would hurt her. So today, after wearing such a cute dress, she told her sister that she is going to meet her friends and hang out for a little.

Jieun wasn’t the type to hang out with her friends; she spent most of the time at the park or libraries. Sometimes, she would attend an orchestra performance, opera, or another theater. And every fashion week, she would attend the runway, watching it and every detail carefully. She loves to visit museums and gallery. If Jiyeon would like to hang out with her, she needs to buy her an orchestra or opera tickets before being able to pursue her.

Jieun looks at her white watch, wrapping her small wrist. Another 10 minutes to wait, Myungsoo will surely be late. She needs to stand there for another 10 minutes, thankfully she didn’t wear a high-heels. Her legs won’t be all worn out but Kim Myungsoo better arrive quickly.

Kim Myungsoo wake up really early today despite the fact that they would go on a date at 10. He wakes up at 6 o’clock in the morning, 4 hours earlier. He was having a hard time choosing clothes and stuff, just like a girl preparing for their first date. Myungsoo need to looks good, a part of him wanted to captivate Jieun so badly and he knew it won’t be easy.

After half of an hour of picking up clothes, another additional 15 minutes for shower, and another 10 minutes for a final touch. He took half an hour longer than Jieun did, he should keep quiet or Jieun may laugh at him. Don’t even think about Jieun, if the INFINITE knows this, they will surely laugh out loud.

Feeling good and perfectly after staring at his own perfect reflection, he smile arrogantly and tossed his car keys to the table. Asking his maid to at least clean it first. He didn’t want Jieun to hop on his car, knowing it’s dirty. Wait a minute, why would it concern him? She has to date him no matter what.

Plugging his car keys, he drove off to the school. He was planning to pick Jieun up at her house, but Jieun wouldn’t let him. He didn’t know her address, even Hoya wouldn’t tell him. He was very mad at Hoya but managed to control his temper and understand the situation at the end. So, he needs to pick her up at the school.

That girl is always half an hour earlier, crazily early. She must have been waiting for at least 15 minutes and the trip to school would take him another 15 minutes. Myungsoo sighed, he has woken up crazily early today, yet he is still late for the date. Kim Myungsoo is surely late.

To her surprise, a black sedan arrived in front of her 5 minutes later. It was Kim Myungsoo, driving arrogantly inside his black sedan. When you think about it, he shouldn’t drive yet, but well whatever she couldn’t change it either. Just hope they won’t get into a trouble for today. 

Myungsoo was asking her to hop on to his car quickly, she sighed. That man is arrogant and annoying, could it ever change? And today again, he left her waiting.

“You’re late, Myungsoo.” Jieun opens the door and sit at the front.

“You’re too early, Jieun.” Myungsoo drove off.

“Just make it quick, Myungsoo. Pil Suk is waiting at home, hopefully she didn’t smell something fishy.”

“Are we going to quarrel all day, Jieun?”

“I would rather save my voice than quarrelling all day with you, Myungsoo.”

“Good, sit nicely and be a good girl.”

Jieun sighed again. “So where are we going?”

“Trust me a little, will you? Have you eaten yet?”

Jieun shook her head, she rarely have breakfast. She has no appetite early in the morning. She would eat when the clock strike 12. Of course it’s something wrong to do, breakfast is important. Every day, she would nag her sister to eat breakfast. But she never done that, she always loses her appetite in the morning.

“Want to grab some breakfast?”

“No, lunch would be better. I couldn’t eat early in the morning.”

“Well, me too.”

“Then why would you offer me?”

“I don’t want you to be starving.”

“I thought you didn’t care. Never know a guy like you could be so caring.”

“I’m a gentleman, Jieun.”

They arrived at the mall, seems like Jieun didn’t choose the wrong outfit. Her dress fit nicely today, as fashionable as always. Myungsoo too has pick up quite an outfit to captivate every girl but Jieun. Well, to be able to captivate Jieun would be a tough thing to do. Only Woohyun was able to do that or may be?

It’s not only Myungsoo who was being a stare at, Jieun too, was being stares at by the boys. It was very creepy that Jieun need to keep herself close to Myungsoo. And Myungsoo too need to keep Jieun within his rage or the girls may just barges into him and the boys might do something real bad to Jieun.

“For real, why can’t they just leave us alone?” Myungsoo frowns as he keeps Jieun close.

Jieun tried to focus, but failed to do so. It’s so scary, to be the centre of attention. Well, a backstage is a backstage. She is as shy as ever, although almost every day Myungsoo would force her to enter the school with him, gathering attention all over the place.

“Jieun-ah, are you okay?”

“Myungsoo, why would you pick this place? It’s scary.” Jieun whispers as her eyes wander around.

“It would be just fine. Stay close to me.” Myungsoo slip his fingers, intertwined their fingers together.

This time again, Jieun could definitely figure out the reason why Myungsoo pick this place out of dozens of better place. This place was quite an elite class one; they have many stores and also restaurants. You could find everything here, every single thing you need. And one more thing, many of the students came here.

Stupid Jieun, she just forgets one thing. Kim Myungsoo is searching for some more popularity.

“Let’s shop, shall we? You should buy me some clothes.”

“Why should I? You could pick your own clothes.”

“Jieun-ah, we’re quarrelling again. You’re known as the modest, the fashionable one, pick me some good clothes.”

“Okay, then. I will try.” Jieun sighed as they enter the department stores. Her eyes wander around, paying attention to each and every single clothes, even to its details.

Another 15 minutes before her hand started to picking up clothes for Myungsoo. She touches it, making sure it’s comfortable to wear. She took a careful look at its design and details. Well, she likes fashion design that’s why she knew it all.

“Myungsoo, do you like it?” She asked, picking out one of the clothes.

Myungsoo rub his chin, as he was thinking hard before finally saying yes. “I like it, it’s perfect. Pick me another one, Jieun.”

“I have turned into a manager of yours. What type of clothes?”

“Anything you think is good.”

The next one and half of an hour, Jieun was busy picking up clothes for Myungsoo. She forces him to try on different clothes and she would clap her hand excitedly when she thinks it’s perfect. Well, they have bought a bunch of clothes but Myungsoo keep on asking for more. He won’t be running out of money since he was rich. But honestly, he didn’t need that much clothes.

He simply asks her for more, since she seems to be enjoying it very much. She keeps on a serious yet excited face. She feels comfortable to walk around, since it was big and mostly empty. Only 10 to 15 people could be spotted there. No body stares at them or bothering their date.

“Jieun-ah, try to wear this one!” Myungsoo suggested as he picks up a black dress.

“Are you sure?”

“I think it would suit you, just try this one!”

Jieun quickly tried the clothes; she put quite a liking to it. But she was unsure how she could come out with the dress. Luckily, Myungsoo pick the right size for her and it fit her perfectly. She quickly slips through the dress, wearing it and watching her own reflection on the mirror. She came out from the fitting room, looking perfect.

“So how does it look?” Jieun asked shyly, she couldn’t help but blush.

“Perfect, Jieun.” Myungsoo compliments her, she was beautiful with it. He left his mouth hanging, wide open. He was captivated by her, although she was the one who should be captivated by him.

“Really?”

“I will buy it for you!” Myungsoo offers.

“No, I will buy it for my own.”

“Jieun-ah, let me buy it for you.”

“No, Myungsoo. I could pay this on my own.” Jieun shrugs him off and Myungsoo frowns.

After almost 2 hours shopping, they exit the department store. Their hands are full of bags after shopping and buying lots of things. Myungsoo bought her an ice cream and the two are now busy their ice cream while carrying tons of things.

“Shall we grab some lunch?” Myungsoo asked.

“It’s up to you. If you’re hungry, let’s eat then.”

“Oh, Jieun. You’re so kind~” Myungsooaegyo comes and Jieun sighed again, this lady never stops sighing. “Let’s eat!”

“What would you like to order?” The waiter asked.

“2 steaks and orange juice, please.” Myungsoo order without asking Jieun first.

“Anything else?”

“No.” He answered shortly.

“Should we go skating after this? It would be fun.” Myungsoo offers as soon as the waiter disappear.

“Are you sure? I’m not really into skating.”

“Relax, Jieun. Skating is fun, as long as you’re not alone, Jieun.”

Jieun sighed, she can’t really skate. Well, she is good at everything except skating and dancing. That is why no matter how Jiyeon persuade her to join the dance club she would still refuse. She can’t dance at all, although she is good at sports.

“Myungsoo, could you slow down a bit?” Jieun asked, they just entered the skating ring and Jieun was terrified. The last time she went here with Jiyeon and Woohyun, she needs Woohyun to hold her all the time while Jiyeon would be spinning around splendidly.

“Jieun, just skate! Don’t tell me you couldn’t…”

Jieun shook her head and Myungsoo laugh at her. She shut her eyes as she tried hard to skate or more likely to walk. It was hard, the ring was slippery. Well of course it needs to be slippery to skate. However, she falls.

“Jieun, are you okay?”

Jieun open her eyes, she should have scream since falling is scary. But she chooses to bit her lip and shut her eyes instead. Thankfully, Myungsoo catch her on time. He supports her back and make sure she didn’t touch the ground. However, the stares begin again. People are staring at them and Jieun couldn’t help but blush.

“I- I- I think so.” Jieun stuttering, being nervous. She averts her eyes from his caring stares and blush deeply.        

“You sure? You should tell me that you can’t skate, idiot Jieun. My heart almost fell because of you.”

“I wanted to tell you… but.”

“Just forget it, stay close to me.” Myungsoo said as he took her hand gently, guiding her carefully.

“Walk, Jieun. Carefully. If you fall, I will catch you.” Myungsoo said. “Trust me, Jieun.”

Jieun walk carefully, following Myungsoo. She bit her lips, trying to be braver. It was terrifying as her mind speculates. People are watching her, if she fall they would laugh at her. It would be very embarrassing.

“Jieun, skate. I will catch you.” Myungsoo left her at the corner, while he skates a few meters away from her. He stopped and asked her to come.

“Myungsoo, are you sure? I can’t…”

“Skate, you watch me before, don’t you? I will catch you if you fall.”

“O-Okay.” Jieun stated, she shut her eyes closed and skate. She bit her bottom lip, nervously.

“Open your eyes, Jieun. You could bump to something if you close it.”

Slowly, she flutters her eyes open. She feels fine but her leg was trembling. She was scared to fall, firstly it might hurt and secondly it would be embarrassing. She could see Myungsoo waiting at the other side, he was watching her carefully. And soon, she arrives, bumping to him.

“See, it’s okay Jieun.” Myungsoo embraces her as she clenched on to him tightly.

“But you need to learn how to stop. You don’t want to bump to something hard.” Myungsoo continued.

And the next one hour was filled with laugh and smile. The two was having lots of fun; Jieun couldn’t help but smile all the time. Myungsoo was the one who keep on teasing her. Jieun learn how to skate as Myungsoo tutored her, and sometimes Myungsoo has to catched her, to prevent her from falling. The lady was having lots of fun.

“I think I’m going to catch a cold tomorrow.” Jieun said as they went to a restaurant for dinner.

“Why?”

“We ate ice cream a lot, and also the skating ring was cold.” Jieun sneezes and Myungsoo chuckled.

“Well, I would like to see you catching a cold. You look cute when you sneeze.” Myungsoo teases.

“Meanie, Myungsoo.” Jieun teases him back and they laugh again.

“Hey, Jieun. Would you like to dance?” Myungsoo asked out of nowhere, surprising Jieun.

“D- dance? With you? D-dance?”

“Well, look at them. They looks like a real couple, don’t you want to be like them with me?”

Shaking her head, Jieun sighed. “We’re fake, Myungsoo. I don’t think I have any feelings for you. I can’t dance with you.”

“This once, Jieun. Dance with me this once. I force you to, it’s the game.” Under the table, Myungsoo hands form a fist, ready to punch something hard.

“Don’t lie to me, Myungsoo. You’re eyes didn’t said so. But okay.” Jieun agree after thinking hard.

Jieun put her hands on Myungsoo shoulders, while Myungsoo wrapped his hands around Jieun waist. Jieun was actually feeling uncomfortable, having such a skin ship with him. They were tense and awkward, Jieun could feel it, the creepy atmosphere. Myungsoo cleared his throat, trying to shoo away the super awkward atmosphere.

They stare into each other eyes, but soon averting each other. Jieun was blushing deeply, unable to stares at him. Myungsoo cleared his throat as his ears turn red. But when the music start, they moves following the flow. It was calm, romantic, and peaceful.

Soon, they stare at each other eyes. Gazing sweetly.

“Thank you, Myungsoo.” Jieun said before getting off his car.

“No, I should thank you. I have fun today.” Myungsoo smiled.

“I too have fun today.”

“You sure you will walk home alone?”

“I would be fine, Myungsoo.”

“It’s quite dangerous, it would be dark soon.”

“Woohyun will come and pick me up.”

“Oh, Woohyun, that guy.” He rolled his eyes, saying a short goodbye and drives off.

Jieun put her hand to her chest as she sighed again. A pinkish colors was painting her cheek, it makes her look even more gorgeous.

What was it? That sudden ba-thump ba-thump feeling inside her.

Myungsoo was driving home and he keeps on smiling like an idiot. His hands were on his chest as he stopped for the traffic light. It was a splendid day, he likes it.

His heart was just about to explode.
