Trigger warning: there will be a mention of eating disorders/unhealthy eating habits in this chapter (just a heads up)

Your POV-

So before we get into the date let's see what you wrote on your list of things to do with Sehun:

1. Buy couple items for each other/take couple selfies

2. Eat some sort of dessert

3. Get to know more about him

4. Eat dinner and walk home together

You wanted to write more activities but figured that it'd be better to keep things simple for the first date, since if everything goes well today then a second date is guaranteed.

You ended up wearing a long red coat so that Sehun could recognize you when he entered the cafe and he had worn a long black coat:

Arriving early to the cafe you couldn't help but to check your makeup and hair every five minutes.

Sehun ended up arriving and found you immediately (as you expected) and the took the seat next to yours.

(Sehun)-Sorry did I keep you waiting for a long time?

(You)-No it's fine I just got here anyway

(Sehun)-So here's my list (he says taking out a piece of paper)

(You)-Should we exchange them? (you said as you took yours out)

(Sehun)-Sure

However the moment you realized there was nothing written on Sehun's paper except: "today is your day, let's do what you want"

(You)-Mwoya you're no fun

(Sehun)-Alright you caught me that's not my real list. I figured that for the first date we can do what you want and for the next date we can do what I want. 

(You)-But I feel like my activities are a little too basic and not that fun

(Sehun)-Not fun? How dare you say such a thing? I love taking photos and getting couple items (he says trying to lighten up the mood), let's go have some fun then shall we? (he says lending out his hand)

You then took his hand and the two of you went to complete your activities.

Activity 1: taking selfies

(You)-Wah the photos came out really well! (You said while the two of you looked back at the photos you took)

(Sehun)-You know you're the first girl to not complain or ask to take 500 more photos

(You)-I do look very good today so I'm not complaining (you said while jokingly flipping your hair)

(Sehun)-So where shall we go next?

(You)-Hmm how about getting some ice cream? (you said while looking at an ice cream truck coming in your direction)

(Sehun)-What flavor would you like?

(You)-I'll take cookies and cream

(Sehun)-Can we get 2 cookies and cream cones please? (he says while paying for the cones)

After getting your cones the two of you walked around a nearby park and talked for what felt like hours (where you got to know more about him), before going to get dinner as the next task to complete on your list.

During dinner at a nearby restaurant

(Sehun)-So what are you in the mood for? (he asks as the two of you looked over the menu)

(Meanwhile in your head there was so much going on)-

"I can't eat noodles on the first date that would be too messy"

"Can't have burger either since I tend to spill"

"Ugh do I say I want a salad? but that makes me sound too basic"

Sehun noticed your face expressions while looking at the menu and couldn't help but laugh

(Sehun)-What are you thinking so hard about for? Just say the first thing menu that pops into your head.

(You)-I'll take a steak then (you said by the time the waiter arrived to take your orders)

Sehun ended up ordering the same thing but added in the two glasses of wine.

(Sehun)-I have to go to the bathroom real quick but feel free to eat if the food gets back before I do

(You)-Yeah sure go ahead 

Everything was going well during this date up until the moment you realized the alerts popping up on his phone, as one name stood out to you: Kim Sejeong

As one of the texts she sent stated: "I had so much fun last night"

You couldn't help but feel as if you were still his second option, as for him Sejeong always seemed to be his first priority which you can't blame him for since she was his first love.

Realizing that he was on his way back, you put on a fake smile and acted as if nothing happened for the rest of the date.

(Sehun)-Looks good, let's eat

You digged in by cutting your steak up and as you were eating you noticed that Sehun was staring at you, like not in a romantic way but more in like a fascinated way as if he's never seen someone eat before.

(You)-Is there something on my face?

(Sehun)-No it's just nice to see you eating more comfortably now, I mean in comparison to when I ate with you last.

You then tried to remember the last time you had eaten with him and remembered what he might've been referring too:

(Flashback time)-to the Summer Retreat of 2015

It had been time for breakfast and not having much options for someone who was lactose, you had no choice but to take the yogurt and eggs and put them on your plate.

You had then sat down with Irene and Jennie, when suddenly Sehun sat next to you which you thought was weird (since he barely payed attention to you for the most part).

While everyone was eating Sehun had noticed that you were picking at your food and couldn't help but be worried, which was why he tried to make the food seem more appetizing to you by coming up with the weirdest food combination. Which had been eating bacon dipped in strawberry yogurt.

(Sehun)-Y/N-ah try this it's so good

(You)-Yah that's disgusting, eww here you take my bacon too then if you like it so much (you said while giving him the rest of your bacon)

This wasn't the only time you found yourself emptying out your food on his plate. As this kind of behavior mainly started because of the fact that you were one of the only girls at the camp that was considered as "bigger" and that made you develop unhealthy eating habits especially when he was around. But of course you don't blame him for any of it.

(End of flashback)

(You to Sehun)-Yeah I'm sorry about that back then, I didn't mean to make you my trash bag.

(Sehun)-I'm just glad you're actually enjoying your meals now (he says while smiling at you genuinely which only made you more confused since you couldn't tell if he actually likes you now, or if you were just his rebound date)

You two then finished your meals and had only one more stop to go to before he would walk you home, and there was indeed a store to buy couple items.

Out of all the items you saw, your attention mainly went towards these two bracelets:

(You)-Hey what about these two? (you said while holding them up for Sehun to see)

(Sehun)-Those look nice (he says as the two of you then tried them on before paying for it)

You couldn't but smile while looking at these bracelets, since they confirmed the fact that you two were official now.

(Sehun)-So which way is your home?

(You)-If we walking straight for a couple more blocks we should be near my place

By the time you two arrived at your front door steps there was an awkward silence before either of you could say goodbye:

(Sehun)-Well it's getting late and cold so you should head back first

(You)-What? No you can go off first I'll go once you're gone

(Sehun)-Is someone looking out for me? (he says while ruffling your hair)

(You)-Maybe a little, you know men can get kidnapped too you know

(Sehun)-Is that so? Should I stay with you tonight then?

(You)-Huh? (you said in shock of his comment)

(Sehun)-I'm kidding, now go inside before we both freeze to death out here

You then gave in and walked off while waving back at him
