"Let's get out of here, I'll drive you through the city" he suggested pulling her along, heading towards the exit.

She couldn't help but look to the floor to hide her pink face, smiling to herself and she allowed herself to be led by the charming man in front of her. Her heels clacked against the surface of the marble floor as she tried to keep up with his long strides. She knew everybody was watching, her conscious told her so, however, she wanted to believe that it was only him and her. She felt like it.

It's funny how she felt safe and protected when she was with him even though they haven't had any proper introductions, for god's sake she doesn't even know his name. He has that certain warm vibe that she enjoyed and she found him to be an interesting character that she wanted to learn more about.

As their figures disappeared further away from the building, the people in the ballroom resumed their respective conversations except for one. He only managed to spend 15 minutes with his beautiful daughter and she was swept away by some man that she had recently met. His curiosity was building up in him as to who that gentleman was. How did he manage to capture her attention and gain her trust in a short period of time? Even so, he felt a sense of assurance that his daughter would be safe with him.

They were walking towards Sehun's car that was parked right outside of the hotel, with the driver standing rigidly in front of the car. Sehun wanted it to be an intimate outing for the both of them and did not want any interference from any third party so he took the keys from the driver and opened the passenger's door for Irene. As she sat in the passenger's seat, she couldn't help but admire Sehun as he walks over ot the driver's seat. He was just so full of charisma and he had that confident aura that made her feel fuzzy on the inside.

He entered through the drivers' seat and gave her a smile before driving off with no intended direction in mind. He just wanted to be with her, right next to her.

✨

She observed where they were driving through, though she had no clue on where exactly, they were going, she trusted him. And as she expected, he did not disappoint her. She observed the tall skyscrapers shining brightly against the moonlit sky. Irene truly loved admiring the sky, be it any time of the day, she loved the serenity of it.

She rolled down the window and jutted her head out. She took in a deep breath of the fresh and embraced the tranquil view that melts her soft heart. She absolutely didn't mind the breeze that was messing her locks up and just let it take control. Freedom. That was what she felt whenever she was accelerating through the city.

He, on the other hand, couldn't stop himself from smiling as he watched how peaceful and genuinely happy she looked. It was pure beauty to him.He increased his speed and continued driving till he reached their impromptu destination.

The car came to stop after about 40 minutes cruising through the illuminated city, arriving at a rather obscure and quiet place. Irene was utterly confused, well she has been all along, however, he just smiled and stepped out of the car while she did the same.

" I got a little hungry, I hope you don't mind if we ate here" his head directing to the fast food restaurant that was just around the corner.

Cute, that was her thought and all she gave was a light chuckle and a smile.

Irene initiated the first step, she too was hungry, so she advanced towards the restaurant first, she turned her head expecting him to follow after her but he only stood there. She laughed at his adorable behavior and walked back to him. She took his hands in hers and led him to the restaurant. Waves of all sort of feelings and emotion electrocuted Sehun when his hand was connected yet again with hers, but this time it wasn't accidental.

The restaurant was oddly empty tonight, you could count on your fingers the number of people that were there. Sehun liked it though. It meant that he could have more privacy with her without a vast amount of people staring weirdly. Although their dressing was a little out of place, especially Irene's since she was still wearing that sinful black dress, neither of them actually cared about the skeptical gazes people in the restaurant were giving them.

He felt like he's learning more and more things about her in the past hour. He appreciated how she didn't care what other views her as. He liked how she looked extremely carefree she was yet still having everything under control. He liked everything that she did, even if she was just standing there smiling, it was as if she's glowing. He liked everything about her, even when he didn't know her name. Her actions and herself was enough to charm him to like her. And he did, he likes her.

They were eyeing the menu while standing in line when it was their turn to order, his fingers fumbled into the pockets of his jackets and pants in search of his wallet, to only be disappointed when he felt nothing was in any of his pockets. He had forgotten his wallet.

'wow what a way to impress a girl Sehun, you forgot to bring your wallet' he thought.

Irene noticed the fumbling fingers and the quick change in expression that he was wearing, concluding that he couldn't find his wallet, Irene spontaneously took some cash out of her wallet and paid the cashier. She gave him a sweet smile, telling him that she got it, but Sehun, on the other hand, was scratching his head out of embarrassment.

He felt utterly ashamed as he was the one who had initiated this late night escapade and now she's paying for their food. They were waiting for their order to be called when Sehun spoke up.

" Hi, I'm Sehun, 27, and an idiot, I sincerely apologize that you had to pay for the meal when I asked you out, I'm really sorry, I'm usually not like this but you make me have butterflies in my stomach and you're such a stunner," he confessed

Irene could only let out a laugh as she heard his confession, she found it cute that he was confessing to her like a high schooler in love yet he still has that confident and dominating aura when he spoke. She had to admit, his voice sends chills down her spine and she felt she was going to melt soon. She gave him her killer smile before replying him.

"I'm Irene and I'm 22, it's really no big deal, it wasn't even that expensive plus you're extremely adorable and you make me feel fuzzy and warm inside" she blushed while admitting.

He gave out a hearty laugh which caused her to laugh along with him. For once, it was their first actual and official conversation, not just smiles and gazes but a literal conversation between the both of them without any awkward tension.

As they collected their food from the counter and approached the empty seat in the restaurant, they started conversing more naturally.They talked about almost all the things under the sun or in this case moon. It was as if they had known each other for quite some time. It was amazing to see that the both of them were very open and able to sustain the conversation without awkward pauses. It was ultimately natural.

They were in the heat of the conversation. Irene was talking about her life, about her business, about her friends but she excluded the subject of family. She didn't want to expose who her father was as she was still unsure if he would just want to take advantage of her. She was honest with him regarding her business and friends, it was just that she tried to avoid the family topic.

Sehun could only smile and admire the way she was speaking with her cute hand gestures and spontaneous facial expressions while she dipped her fries into the ketchup. Even though it seemed as if he wasn't paying attention to what she has been rambling on about, he actually was. He was amazed at her. She managed to set up two businesses on her own. He was surprised as to how independent she was and he was starting to get a little ashamed of himself. He was no one or he would be nowhere if not with the help of his father and his title in the family.

He was starting to reflect on how lucky he was to be born into a family which was blessed with almost everything, and how she, on the other hand, had to climb her way up to get to where she is now. She was truly amazing and she was worth admiring. He couldn't help but smile occasionally when she was talking about her struggles, he even felt proud of her.

Sehun kept staring at the beautiful face that was opposite of him, he loved the way she talked. He found it adorable that her face made so many expressions when she was conveying he thoughts. Her fingers, however, was moving on their own accord as she picked up a piece of fries, dipped it in ketchup and placed it the whole time she was talking. He let out a chuckle unknowingly and it made her stop whatever she was doing.

Irene got a little self-conscious when Sehun let out a chuckle, she immediately let go of the fries she was holding and she scrunched up her face cutely.

"What? Is there something wrong?" she questioned.

Sehun only shook his head and his hand went up to wipe the ketchup stain on the side of . Irene has never felt more embarrassed in her life before. Her pale cheeks were turning pink and her ears were hot. She took the napkin and wiped and fingers. She sipped on her drink to avoid eye contact with him and to calm the rapid beating of her heart.

Sehun rested his chin on his hands and continued watching her, the smile never leaving his face but only growing wider as he watched her trying to hide from her embarrassment.

" You're irresistible" he blurted.

" Stop! You're making me fall for you!" she stood up, covering her face with both her small hands, wanting to run away from the embarrassment as she walked briskly in her heels towards the door of the restaurant, with him chuckling behind as he tailed her

Irene was walking towards Sehun's car desperately wanting to run away and hide her now red face from him. She fanned herself in attempt to cool the heat that was building up on her face when she was taken aback by the sudden pull of her hand.

Sehun had just pulled her hand with slight pressure, but not enough to hurt her, only to receive a high pitch shriek from her. He pulled her closer to his chest and wrapped his arm around her waist, still pressing her close to his chest as his eyes remained staring at her wide ones. Irene was beyond shock and she was shivering under his hold.

Sehun's hands went up to her hair and adjusted her fringe, pushing it to the side, to reveal more of her alluring face. She was still looking at him with loss words as he touched her hair. His left hand finally let go of her hair and went back to his side while his right arm was still encircled around her waist.

This time,
