Today Seulgi is nervous because he will meet with his girlfriend for the first time after five months dating. Since morning, he is not able to focus on everything he does. All he thinks about is meeting Irene in person. They plan to meet at the café near the company after office hour

Meanwhile, Irene is very excited for the first date. She can’t suppress her smile after Seulgi asked her out last night. She knows she will be shy during their meeting later but the other side of her looks forward to seeing her boyfriend. Her mood is really good today

As soon as the digital wall clock in the office shows 5 PM, Irene quickly gets ready. She fixes her make-up and dress before leaving the office. Suddenly, nervous feeling taking over the excitement

‘Aigoo, why am I suddenly nervous?’ she thought

She walks leisurely to her car and calms herself before driving to the destination. Seulgi already texted her that he just arrived at the café a few minutes ago. 10 minutes later, she arrived at the same location

“Calm down, Bae Joohyun. You’re meeting Seulgi, not his family” she cheer herself up

After making sure her appearance is good, she gets out of the car and heads to the entrance. Once she opens the door, she slowly searches for Seulgi. She looks to the right corner and her eyes capture the familiar monolid eyes that she has loved since the past few months. Seulgi waves his hands then beckons Irene to come to the table. She nervously approaching him

“Hi” Seulgi greet first

“Hi” Irene reply awkwardly

Seulgi pulls the chair for Irene then he sits back on his chair “What do you want to drink?”

“Latte”

“Eat?”

Irene thinks for a few seconds “I don’t know. Have you ordered it already?”

“No, I’m waiting for you so that we can eat together”

“Just order anything but don’t order a lot. I’m not really hungry”

“What about ramen and fried dumplings? I heard they serve octopus ramyun here. I want to try it” Seulgi said

“That sound good too”

“Okay, I will go to the counter” Seulgi goes to the counter to order their food. He come back with a cup of latte that Irene wanted “Latte for Baechu”

“Thank you” Irene smile shyly

Seulgi stares at Irene who takes a sip of her warm latte “So, how’s work?”

“I’m a bit busy today. We are meeting about dinner preparation to welcome our new CEO” Irene answered. The awkwardness slowly faded as Seulgi initiate their talk

“Oh, your company will have a new CEO soon?” Seulgi faking his surprise reaction

“Yeah, our manager said he already at Korea but haven’t join the company yet because president and his daughters still busy”

“The new CEO is a man?” Seulgi acting clueless

“Yup”

“Is he handsome?”

Irene shrugs “I don’t know. No one ever sees him. He is hidden from the public. Lot of our seniors never see him. That guy is still mysterious”

Seulgi just laughing at Irene remarks “Calm down. You will see him soon”

“What about you? Are you not working today?” Irene turn her attention to Seulgi

“Today is my off-day so I have time to go out with you”

“Is your working time still the same as before?”

“No, now I start working from 9 AM until 7 PM. The café related but management is different”

“Yeah, at least you can rest early. Make sure you not skip your meal” Irene say seriously

“Yes boss” Seulgi show V sign to his girlfriend

“Next time I want to visit that café. I want to taste the coffee that you made”

Seulgi knows this will come so he is not shocked “Okay, I will text you the address. It is not really far from here. Inform me early so I can prepare special coffee for you”

Irene pouted “I want to see you make coffee in front of me. I watch a lot of barista video so I want to watch it live too”

“Alright, I show you how to make coffee”

“Okay!” Irene said excitedly. She doesn't know Seulgi is already nervous to death because he does not expect Irene will request to see him making coffee. He have to make other plan when he go home later

Waiter comes with their food and they start eating. They talk about many topics. Now they are comfortable around each other. Seulgi treats Irene gently so that she is not awkward anymore. She look forward for more date with him

Seulgi walks Irene to her car. He want to hold her hand but still hesitant to do so

“Hyun, thanks for coming today despite your busy schedule” he said as they stop beside Irene’s car

“Ayy, it’s not a big deal. I actually look forward to our first meeting. You know it has been few months we dated but just meet today”

Seulgi smiles “I’m sorry for making you wait but it’s worth it, right?”

“Yeah, it’s worth to wait” said Irene “I hope we can meet frequently after this”

“Of course, we can meet whenever both of us are free”

They smile at each other then, Irene says “We should go home now. Don’t forget to drink warm water when you get home. Don’t catch a cold. Weather getting cold nowadays. Wear thick clothes too”<
