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.

My Friday morning routine consists of a little happy dance in the morning to Friday by Rebecca Black, don’t judge me on this one. The buzz of my phone pulled my attention as I interrupted my happy dance and paused the music. “Hey did you see my mustard sweater anywhere?” came the caller.

“I wore it to uni yesterday, didn’t you notice?”

“Stop stealing my clothes.” He scolded.

“I’ll wash it for you, okay?”

“Where have you been? Jaz was asking about you again last night, I told her you and Daehyun left together like usual. She said you didn’t get back home last night.”

“Oh I got back home, just a little late. Remember how I cook for his family on Thursdays?”

“God I hate it when you cook for them.” I had to roll my eyes at this part.

“Things changed up and I went to his place for dinner instead.”

“You what!” He shouted, my poor ear began to ring “Stay away from him.”

“I’ll think about it, my ride’s here, catch you later.” I finished and hung up on him.

Daehyun’s puzzled expression didn’t go unnoticed. Neither did his silence. Nore did his awkwardness. Was wearing his sweater to uni a bad idea? “Daehyun, if you want your sweater back all you have to do is ask you know.”

“Oh no, that’s not it” he laughed, albeit awkwardly. Clearing his throat he broke the thick silence. “Hey, look, I’m sorry if I offended you last night.”

“What part?”

A sigh escaped his lips ad a free hand raked back loose blonde locks.“I think you’re beautiful” he blurted out. Stopping at a red light, he continued while looking ahead, “Inside, outside, and most importantly, when you’re beside me.”

“That last part was a little cringe.” It also made my heart skip a beat.

“Only the truth.” He smiled a little sadly. “I get it if you don’t feel the same way, but yeah. I’ve always wanted to tell you that I’ve liked you, a lot.”

“What would you do if I said I felt the same way?”

“Huh?!”

“I’m not repeating myself. You heard me.”

“I’m a little broke with lunch and now a date, but will some flowers and bubble tea do for tonight?”

“I was going to suggest working on that annoying MATH202 assignment but I really like warm taro bubble tea.” It was hard to bite back that full blown grin on my face when his hand fitted into mine so perfectly.

“Noted.” He grinned, pearly whites gleaming between plush lips. Here’s to the start of something good.
