The Confession

:: Flashback ::

“Shirt, check!”

“Pants, check!”

“Hair, check!”

“Hmm.. what else?”, Yuri mumbles to himself while scratching his chin, and he was standing in front of the mirror, checking on his attire. After his encounter with Jessica few days ago, he finally gained his self-confidence, and decided to make his confession to Yoona. He was determined to do it since he was afraid that other men will trying to hit on her. Well, she’s beautiful, gorgeous, and also a well-known star though, surely there are lots of men out there wanted to approach her.

“Oh, perfume!”, he exclaimed while looking at the dressing table to find his favorite perfume. He then took the perfume bottle, and open the lid of the bottle before he sprays the aromatic woody and musky fragrance to his body.

“Perfume, check!”, he said while grinning. He put the perfume bottle back on the dressing table before checking on himself once again until he felt satisfied.

“Alright, Kwon Yuri. I know you can do it. Aja aja fighting!”, he said in front of the mirror as he did his fist pump. He fixed his shirt’s collar once again before he took his belongings, and walked out of his room.

“It’s still early, isn’t it?”, Yuri mumbled to himself soon after he entered inside his BMW Z4 Roadster which he parked at the parking lot of his apartment block. He checked his hair again on the rear-view mirror before he the car’s engine. He glanced at his wristwatch, and the time was 6:30 p.m.  After their last meeting at the CF launching event, he had never seen Yoona again. Both of them also didn’t contact each other. Yuri thought that she might be busy with her schedule, so, he didn’t want to bother her.

So, one day, Yuri decided to try his luck. He dialled Yoona’s number as he just wanted to check on her. But sadly, Yoona didn’t return his call. Again, he tried to convince himself that Yoona was busy on that time. Surprisingly, Yuri received a return call from Yoona in the late of midnight while he was still working at his studio. She apologized to Yuri for not returning his call earlier due to her busy schedule on that day. She had a photoshoot outside Seoul for the whole day. Just like what Yuri had thought all this while. He didn’t know why, but he felt happy as Yoona finally returned his call. And, what was surprising him was that, Yoona didn’t sounded like she uninterested to have conversation with Yuri just like she used to. In fact, she sounded a bit cheerful as she told Yuri on her whereabouts, which made him more surprised. Yuri couldn’t stop smiling for the whole night, and starting from that moment, he has made his final decision, he wanted to confess to her that he likes her.

So, on the other day, he called Yoona again, to know when she will be free from her schedule. And, good luck indeed was in favor of Yuri, Yoona was having her free time for two days, and Yuri wasted no time to ask her out. He suggested to Yoona to have a dinner together at the one of the most famous and expensive restaurant, and surprisingly, she just agreed. So, today is the day, and Yuri felt like his heart was about to explode due to his nervousness. He silently prayed that his plan will going smoothly today.

“RING! RING! RING!”

“Yoboseyo?”

“Hello Sica, can I ask you something?”, Yuri said.

“Yeah, what’s up?”, Jessica replied.

“Should I buy flowers for her?”, Yuri asked Jessica. She let out a soft chuckle before she answered.

“Sometimes, I really don’t know what my actual job is. I felt like I have become your love consultant”, she said teasingly.

“Enough with the teasing, will you? I’m asking you seriously here. Should I, or shouldn’t I?”, he asked with a serious voice. Yuri has parked his car in front of the flower shop. He decided to make a stop there to buy flowers, but he didn’t know whether he did a right thing or not. So, he decided to call his friend to ask her opinion.

“Chill, Kwon! If you feel like want to buy flowers for her, just go ahead. There’s nothing wrong with it though”, she replied.

“Alright, thanks Sica!”, Yuri thanked her before he hung up. He turned off the car’s engine, and quickly got out of the car.

“Hwanyeong hamnida (welcome)!”, greeted the middle aged woman soon after he entered the flower shop. Yuri smiled and bowed to her while his eyes wandering around the shop. There are plenty of flowers displayed inside the shop, with a wide variety of forms and species that make him amazed to see.

“How can I help you, son?”, the middle aged woman asked.

“Ermm.. I-I want to buy flowers for someone, ahjumma”, he said rather shyly. The ahjumma smiled, and walked towards Yuri.

“Girlfriend?”, she asked. Yuri just nodded her head as he smiled faintly.

“I see. Alright, before that let me guess, this is your first time buying flowers for someone, isn’t it?”, the ahjumma asked. Again, Yuri just answered her question by nodding his head. He was too shy to utter a word to her. The ahjumma let out a soft giggle at the shy guy in front of her.

“Can I know what’s her name?”, she asked again. Yuri gulped.

“Should I, or shouldn't I?”, he thought while contemplating whether he should tell her or not. Like she can read Yuri's mind, she smiled as he patted on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry, son. I just want to know her name, so, that I can help you to choose suitable flowers for her according her name”, she said as she smiled reassuringly.

“Oh, gomawo ahjumma. Her name is.. ermm.. Im.. Im Yoona”, he replied.

“Ah, Im Yoona. What a beautiful name, huh? I bet she must be a very beautiful girl, just like her name”, she said as she smiled.

“D-dae”, Yuri replied shyly while scratching his head. The ahjumma laughed at his antics.

“Aigoo.. don’t be shy, son. Come, follow me”, she said as she led Yuri to the space where the several types of roses has been displayed.

“Is this your first time meeting her?”, the ahjumma asked. Yuri just nodded her head. “Alright, since this is your first time, I would like to suggest you to give her this..”, she said as she took a few of fresh pink roses from its containers.

“Pink?”, Yuri said as he looked at the pink roses that were being held by the ahjumma.

“Yes. Do you know what the pink roses means?”, she asked. Yuri shook his head.

“It means, sweet thought and gentle emotions. Since this is your first time meeting your girl, you can give this to her as a symbol of affection. Pink roses indicates an affection that may turn into deeper love. Innocent love that has not yet blossomed into passion, a deep affection that has not yet reached its pinnacle is what the pink rose expresses”, she explains, which made Yuri dumbfounded.

“Wow. I never knew about this before”, Yuri said, causing the middle-aged woman laughing on his naivete.

“That’s because you just found your dream girl, and fell in love with her, son. And, I bet, you never fall in love in your life before, right?”, she replied.

“H-how did you know?”, he asked innocently. She smiled, and walked towards the working table where she usually used to wrap the flowers for her customer. Yuri just followed suit. She then started her work, wrapping the roses.

“I knew as soon as my customer walked into my shop. I can tell if it is the first time they buy flowers, or otherwise”, she said while still working on the flower wrapping.

“Ahjumma.. jjang!”, Yuri said as he gave her two thumbs up. The ahjumma laughed.

“It’s nothing, son. I have been involved in this business for thirty years, so, I told you based on my experience”, she said with a smile. “Alright, it’s done. Follow me”, she said, and led Yuri to the cashier counter. She put the nicely wrapped roses on the counter.

“How much is it, ahjumma?”, Yuri said as he fished out his wallet from his pants pocket.

“Since it is your first time being my customer, I give you ten percent discount. You just pay me ten dollars only”, she replied.

“Oh, thank you so much!”, Yuri said. He handed the ten dollars note to the ahjumma. She gladly received the bank note.

“You’re welcome, son. Here are your roses”, she replied, and handed the wrapped roses to Yuri.

“Thank you for helping me, ahjumma”, he thanked her once again.

“Aigoo.. don’t mention it, son. It’s nothing. Anyway, what’s your name?”, she replied.

“I’m Kwon Yuri”, he said. “I have got to go now. Thanks once, again, ahjumma”, Yuri bowed to her.

“Arasso. Yuri ah, fighting!”, the ahjumma said as she did her fist pump. Yuri just chuckled, and he bowed to her once again before he walked out of the shop.

************************

Yoona arrived at the restaurant just about in time. As soon as she entered inside, she was guided by the waiter to the table which has been reserved by Yuri earlier. She wore a simple red dress, and a pair of black stilettos which enhances her beauty. She smiled soon after she saw Yuri was sitting at the table, looking so engrossed with his cellphone.

“Here’s your table, Ms. Im”, the waiter said, which startles Yuri. He immediately got up from his chair, and slowly approached the later.

“Thanks”, Yoona thanked the waiter. “Hi, Yuri!”, she greeted him with a smile. Yuri was stunned by her beauty, but he quickly snapped it out of his thought.

“H-hi, Yoona! Thanks for coming”, Yuri replied, feeling a bit nervous. But, being a gentleman, he quickly pulled the chair for her.

“Thanks”, Yoona said as she sat on her chair. Yuri immediately went back to his seat. The waiter then placed the menu on their table.

“What do you want to eat? Don’t worry, it’s on me tonight”, Yuri asked. He glanced at Yoona who was busy scanning through the menu.

“Ermm.. I would like to have Sirloin Steak with Garlic Butter, Spicy Tomato Risotto, and for dessert I would like to have Vanilla Malted Ice Cream Cake”, she placed her order. Yuri was dumbfounded, staring at her. Yoona noticed Yuri was staring at her.

“Wae?”, she asked, furrowing her brows.

“Oh, ermm.. n-nothing..”, he said as he smiled awkwardly.

“Would you like to order, Mr. Kwon?”, the waiter asked.

“Ermm.. just the Sirloin Steak set, and please bring us a bottle of champagne, thanks”, he said to the waiter. The waiter nodded his head, and immediately leaving their table.

“So, what’s the occasion?”, Yoona asked. She honestly didn’t know why she agreed at first to have a dinner with Yuri tonight.

“Nothing. Just feel like want to meet you. You know, we didn’t contact each other since the CF launching event last time”, Yuri replied. Yoona’s smile slowly turned into smirk after hearing his answer.

“Did you miss me, Kwon Yuri?”, she tried to shoot. Yuri’s eyes grew wider upon hearing her words.

“W-what? I-I did not!”, he exclaimed. Yoona then let out a soft chuckle. Not long after, the waiter came with a tray contained a champagne bucket, together with the wine glasses.

“May I?”, he said as he put the bucket and the glasses on the table. He then took the bottle, and carefully opened it before he poured the red champagne into the glasses.

“Thank you”, both Yuri and Yoona thanked the waiter before he left the table. Both of them then took their first sip of the champagne.

“Hmm.. nice”, Yuri said as he put the glass on the table. “So, how’s your life so far?”, he tried to start the normal conversation with her.

“Good. How about you?”, Yoona replied while she took another sip of the champagne.

“Same here”, Yuri said. Both of them then fell silence, didn’t know what to say next.

“Should I tell her right now, or later?”, Yuri thought.

“Ermm.. Yoona ah..”, Yuri said.

“Dae?”, Yoona replied. Yuri was about to continue his words when suddenly the waiter came with the food they ordered earlier. He placed the food on the table.

“Bon appétit!”, the waiter said.

“Thanks!”, they thanked him in unison. The waiter then walked away from their table. Yoona and Yuri began to eat their food.

“Hmm.. mata!”, Yuri exclaimed. Yoona furrowed her brows while looking at the latter.

“Is this your first time eating here?”, she asked.

“Anniyo. I’m a regular customer here”, Yuri replied. “Wae?”, he asked.

“It seemed like your first time to try the food here”, she replied while giggling. Yuri’s face blushed in embarrassment.

“Just shut up and eat your food, Im Yoona”, he said in an annoyed tone. Yoona just giggled, feeling amused with the latter's antics.

“I have to admit, the food here indeed good. You know how to pick the nice place to eat”, she complimented him.

“Of course I am, though”, he said cockily. Yoona just scoffed, and continue enjoying her food.

“I have a question”, Yuri said. Yoona raised her brows while looking at the latter. “Is it every time you eat, you really eat this much?”, he asked curiously. He wanted to ask her about it earlier, but he just wait for the right time to ask.

“Hmm.. not really. I just eat much when I’m really hungry. I’m usually eat more than these”, Yoona replied. Her answer caused Yuri dumbfounded.

“Jeongmal”, he mumbled. “But, you do not seem to gain weight”, he said. Yoona smiled before answering him.

“That’s because I have a fast metabolism, and I often do exercise”, she replied.

“Jinja?”, he said. Yoona nodded her head while chewing her food. “Amazing”, he mumbled. He finally found her unique charm. A shikshin! They continued their random chatting until they finished their dinner.

“Thanks for the dinner, Yuri”, Yoona said after Yuri settling the bill.

“Nah, don’t mention”, he replied. Both of them then walked out of the restaurant.

“How did you get here?”, Yuri asked. Both of them were outside the restaurant building.

“My manager sent me. Wae?”, she replied.

“C-can I send you home?”, he asked nervously. Yoona looks hesitant.

“It’s okay, Yuri. You don’t have to. My manager will pick me up later”, she replied.

“Please? Can you tell your manager right now that I will send you home?”, he said. Yoona puffed her cheek as she still contemplated. She didn't want to burden Yuri since the latter has spent much treating her dinner at an expensive restaurant. But, she didn’t want to disappoint him. She let out a sigh.

“Arasso”, she finally relented. Yuri smiled widely as his plan to send her home after dinner was successful. He patiently waited for Yoona to make a phone call to her manager. He just one step closer to make his confession planning come true.

“Alright, shall we go now?”, Yoona said soon after she finished making the call.

“Yeah, sure. Let’s”, Yuri replied as he led her to his car. He quickly unlocked his car, and rushed to the passenger's side to open the door for her.

“Thanks”, Yoona said. Yuri just smiled, and immediately closes the door. He then rushed to the driver’s side, and quickly opened the door before he entered inside the car. He the car’s engine, and began to drive his car to send his dream girl back home.

************************

“Alright, we’re here”, Yuri said soon after he stopped his car in front of the apartment building.

“Thanks once again, Yuri”, Yoona said. She unbuckled her seat belt, and was about to get out of the car when Yuri suddenly stopped her.

“Yoona, wait! Don’t go out yet. I want to give you something. Stay here for a while, okay?”, Yuri said in rushed as he quickly opened the door, and ran to the back compartment of his car. He opened the back compartment, and took the pink roses out. He rushed back to his seat, and closed the door.

“H-here, this is for you”, he said as he handed the roses to Yoona. Yoona looked surprised while staring at the roses.

“W-what is this for?”, she asked as she was still in surprise.

“I.. I bought this for you. Please take it”, he replied. Yoona was hesitant at first.

“Please..”, Yuri begged her. Yoona finally relented, and took the roses from his hands.

“The owner of the flower shop said that pink roses represents sweet thought and gentle emotions. It’s also a symbol of affection. An affection that may turn into deeper love. Innocent love that has not yet blossomed into passion, a deep affection that has not yet reached its pinnacle. This is what I felt for you right now”, Yuri explains, as well as making his confession.

Yoona stunned. She was frozen at her seat.

“Yoona, are you okay?”, he asked worriedly as the latter just kept silence, and didn’t give any response.

“Yoon..”, Yuri was about to continue his words when Yoona suddenly cut him off.

“I-I have to go now. Thanks for the dinner, and for the roses too”, she said as she opened the door. “Good night, Yuri. Thanks once again”, she said before she closed the car’s door, and quickly walked away from Yuri’s car, heading to her apartment building.

“Good.. night..”, he mumbled to himself while watching Yoona walking away. After Yoona disappeared from his sight, he leaned his back on the seat, staring at the apartment building blankly. After spending there for almost ten minutes, he finally back into his sense, and started driving his car, leaving the apartment building, heading to home.

Yoona was still hiding behind the wall of the apartment’s lobby, watching Yuri’s car moving away. She took a deep breath, and slowly releasing it while staring at the pink roses she was holding.

“I’m sorry”, she mumbled.
