The date.
Can I Have This Dance? [Discontinued]
Leeteuk ended up telling Donghae about the dating thing the next morning, and he loved the idea.
So, here I was, sitting in a small café, waiting for my ‘boyfriend-for-a-day’. I was so nervous… again… Why am I so often nervous these days? This was the first time I ever went on a date with someone… I didn’t know how I should act, what I should say… I had absolutely NO experience. And the best of all, is that it’s not even real…
I did a little research on the Internet before coming… What? At least I have to know some basis! I found a website about the 5 dating commandments:
-
Dress up naturally, not too sober, not too flashy.
I was wearing a marine style striped t-shirt and a dark blue skirt. For accessories, I took a long silver necklace with a ballerina pendant, a red purse and white converse.
-
Your hair and eyes are your main weapons.
I took my hand mirror to check on my fishbone braid Sidney taught me to do. For my make up, I just put what I usually wear.
-
Before the date, don’t eat anything that could leave things between your teeth and make sure you don’t have tooth path on your face.
I didn’t eat anything this morning, which was the reason why I was starving…
-
It’s not because you’re a girl that you can be late. You have to be on time.
And I was. But not him… Well… He wasn’t late though… I was the one who was early. Then, someone came,
“Is this place vacant?” the voice asked,
I looked up and saw Donghae with a smile on his face. The first thing that caught my eyes was that he was wearing the same t-shirt as mine… But his was more like a blue t-shirt with white stripes and mine was white with blue stripes…
“Couple T,” he smiled and sat in front of me,
I awkwardly chucked, “Hi Oppa,”
“Have you been here for a long time?” he asked,
“No! I just arrived,” I said,
Gosh… This looks like a lovey dovey drama…
“Good! I was afraid that I’d be late,” he sighed of relief,
“It’s fine,” I said,
“Again, thanks for helping me with this,” he thanked me,
“Nothing to worry about Oppa,” I smiled, “But don’t expect too much… I know as much about dating as you do…” I warned,
“It’s okay! We’ll be leaning about this together,” he smiled,
“Yeah…” I smiled back,
There was an awkward silence between us… I was looking around while Donghae was stretching, fixing his hat and sunglasses
-
Never feel awkward. Keep a conversation on.
“Hum…” I cough,
“Are you hungry?” he finally asked,
“Ah, not really,” I lied, and my stomach protested. I hit it, wishing for it to shut up,
Donghae chuckled. I awkwardly smiled and mentally cursed myself, “Let’s go to eat,” he said, stood up and went to the cashier to pay for my coffee.
I quickly ran to him, “It’s okay Oppa! I can pay,” I said,
“Uh-uh,” he said, tapping my hand away, “You’re my girlfriend for today, so I pay!”
“Ah, thanks,”
We walked in the streets of Seoul, around the fountains and buildings. When we arrived around COEX, he stopped and asked me,
“What do you want to eat?”
“I don’t know, what about you?”
“Do you want to walk around and if there’s something good you’ll stop?”
“Sure,”
We were walking – in this awkward atmosphere –, when a heavenly delicious smell made its way under my nose. It came from a little shop of street food. As a response, my stomach made a monstrous sound. My eyes widened and I instantly hit my tummy again. Donghae laughed,
“Seems like we found what you’re craving for,”
We went to the Ahjumma who runs the street shop and asked for two portions of Ddeokbokki. Of course, Donghae paid for it,
“Wah, it’s looks so good,” I took a deep breathe, inhaling the smell of this wonderful creation of our country,
“You’re drooling,” Donghae pointed at my mouth,
“Huh?” I jerked my head up and passed my hand on my lips, “No I’m not!”
“Well almost,” he smiled,
I puffed my cheeks and started eating my food. I was crying because it tasted so good and also because of how hot it was,
“Wah! It’s hot!” I choked,
“It is?” Donghae shrugged,
I nodded. Really, it was so hot that even Claire Bennet couldn’t recover from the burns,
Donghae took a spoonful in his mouth, only to jump off his seat yelling in pain. I burst into laugher as I watched him running around the table, looking for water. Then I remembered I had brought a bottle with me. I took it out of my bag and showed it to him. His eyes widened and he ran to take it but at the last moment I got to the opposite side of the table. His eyes pleaded but I just stick my tongue out and kept running with the bottle.
Donghae stopped and swallowed hard, “Yah! Sorin-ah! Give it to me! My mouth’s on fire!” he said,
“Come and get it,” I teased,
“Give it to me already, plea-“ and I shoved another spoon of Ddeokbokki in his mouth, “MMMMH!”
“Haha,” I laughed,
He chased me all the way to the nearest park. As soon as we got there we started playing hide and seek unconsciously. I had to change my hiding spot several times before finding an adequate one. I sat on the grass behind a bush, holding the bottle against my chest as if it was my treasure and panting from the running. We really looked like fools, acting like kids, but it was fun.
I waited behind the bush. It was silent, too silent. I curiously looked above the leaves to see if Donghae was nearby but he was nowhere to be seen. I got up, where is he?
The next second, I felt a strong weight tackling me on the floor,
“OH MY GOD! OPPAAA! STOP!! IT TICKLES!” I laughed uncontrollably,
“That’s for making fun of my burning digestive system!” he said still tickling me,”
“OKAY! OKAY! I’LL GIVE YOU THE BOTTLE! HAHAHA!” I said between my laughs,
“Promise?”
“PROMISE! LET ME GO ALREADY!”
He let go of me, helped me up, and then he extended his hand, “The bottle. Please,”
“Here,” I gave it to him,
He took it and gulped it up, “Ah! Better!”
“Where are we going now?” I asked,
“What about we go watch a movie,” he suggested,
“Ok,”
We went to the cinema and chose to watch ‘Despicable Me’. The story was very interesting and I was impressed when he said that Taeyeon from Girl’s Generation was one of voice offing. After the movie, it was raining like crazy, on early July… And obviously we didn’t bring an umbrella. We ran under the rain and stopped under a bus station to rest a bit.
“Aish… Why does it have to rain on my first date with my teacher?” Donghae said,
“Let’s just wait a bit. It’ll stop soon,”
We sat on the bench and waited for the rain to stop. My eyes wandered around the streets, looking at children playing with the water and couples kissing under umbrellas. As I kept taking mental pictures, my eyes stopped on Donghae’s face. I never really looked at him properly. He is really handsome. His eyes were not that big but he still has double eyelids. His nose was perfect and I don’t even think that it’s because of surgery. His wet hair gave his baby face a more mature look.
Handsome, talented, nice… This guy is the perfect boyfriend for a girl. Why does he like Minhwa?
“Ah! When will it stop?” he asked and turned to me, catching me spying on him,
I quickly looked away, blushing, “Hum…” I cough,
“Someone was admiring my pretty face?”
“Says who?” I raised an eyebrow,
“Says me,” he imitated me,
“I was not looking at you,” I retorted,
“Really?”
“I was looking at the guy on the advertiser poster,” I pointed behind him before realizing that it was Kim Taehee, holding a tube of BB cream.
“The guy?” Donghae laughed,
“Uh!” I mentally slapped myself, “Anyway, the rain stopped. Let’s go!” I said and got up,
“Don’t try to change the subject,” he said,
“I was not-“ and before I could finish my sentence, a bus drove next to us, splashing water all over me,
I stood there, my clothes and hair soaking wet, mouth opened and eyes shut,
Thanks…
Donghae blinked for a moment then laughed so hard that all his teeth were shown.
“It’s not funny!” I pouted, taking my fish braid to wring it dry.
“Come on. Let’s buy you new clothes,” he said and took a grab on my hand,
I instantly felt sparks of electricity running throw my whole body.
