I had only just finished getting ready, when I heard that familiar knock on my door knock-knock knock knock-knock, and I knew he was waiting for me. I turned to face my mirror anxiously, as I fixed my hair, and heard words of encouragement from my two best friends behind me, who had helped me get ready.
     “It'll be fine Min Hye! You look amazing, he'll be head over heels for you by the time the night's over!”
     “Yeah, stop worrying; Nobody could deny how beautiful you look right now.”

     Their kind words weren't really doing a lot for me. I was grateful for them, but they weren't what I needed to hear right now. I wouldn't feel confident in myself until I heard similar words coming from his mouth... His beautifully sculpted mouth that I had craved for so long, and it finally seemed like a reality. But, I couldn't help but feel that it maybe wasn't meant to be. When you wish for something, for so long, you lose faith in thinking that it could ever happen, and that's what was happening to me now. But I couldn't help but hold onto that last shard of hope, when he asked me out on a date. Why he had done so, I couldn't understand.

     You see, Choi Seunghyun and I have been very good friends for a very long time, and I always thought that he saw me as a little sister, which is why I was so surprised when he asked me if I would like to go out on a date with him two days ago. I haven't seen him since, and the nerves have slowly been getting worse and worse, and I was beginning to question why he would suddenly decide to ask me out, after all this time.
I gave myself one last look up and down, in the mirror. My hair was hanging in loose curls down my back, and my dress flattered my figure, but still looked respectable. I then turned around to face my two friends who gave me one last nod of approval, and ushered me to the door.

     “Wait! I'm not ready!” I said in a panicked tone, as I tried to make my way back to my room.
     “You're as ready as you'll ever be, MinHye, come on..” I struggled with HyoRin, who was prying me away from the door frame that I had a firm grip on, which completely distracted me from SoHee's disappearance from the scene.
It wasn't until I heard a deep voice cutting through the air, saying my name, that I realised she had gone. I immediately let go of the door frame, and HyoRin let go of my waist, which she had just been tugging on, and I turned to face the door. SoHee stood by the door that she had just opened, proudly smiling at me, as Seunghyun merely smirked at me.

     I stared at him for a moment, before I tried to recover myself from the embarrassment. I straightened up my dress, and hair before I stood up straight and smiled at him, trying to act as though nothing had happened. Seunghyun let out a brief chuckle, and then held out his arm for me.
     “Ready to go MinHye-ah?” He asked, with amusement still showing on his face. I quickly nodded and took his arm, as I tried to hurry us out of my apartment, to leave this embarrassing scene behind, to which he only chuckled more. I took one last look at my two bestfriends as I guided Seunghyun away, as they waved desperately and gave me thumbs up to say 'you'll be fine'. I looked away just as I heard fits of giggles erupt from them, and I guessed he had politely waved goodbye to them. Once we were down the hallway, and well away from my apartment, I asked where we were going.
     “Oh, back to my place.” Seunghyun calmly replied. I was in shock. How could he be so blunt? How could he think that after years of friendship I would give myself up to him so easily?

     He must have been able to tell what was going through my head due to my face, as he quickly added to what he was saying. “I'll be cooking us dinner tonight, MinHye-ah. I have nothing like that planned, don't worry.”He tried to act serious but I could see the smile that that he was trying to hide. “I thought that would be safer” He continued.
     “Why would that be safer?” I asked absent-mindedly.
     “Paparazzi, and saesang fans. We don't want any scandals, and I don't want you to become a target.” His smile had now faded, and his tone had become very serious, but he kept a straight face.

     We arrived at his car and I tried to lighten the mood while we drove to his building. Once we arrived we quickly made our way up to his apartment, and I was shocked by what I saw. I had seen the inside of Seunghyun's apartment many times, but seeing it now was very surprising. He had gone to a lot of effort to prepare it for our date. A table was set with roses and candles, and the whole place was spotless; I couldn't help but laugh at his wall of action figures, though.
    “I see you're still collecting dolls then, Seunghyun.” I said in an amused tone, which was met by a glare from his intense eyes,
     “They're not dolls, MinHye-ah, and you know they're not. Now sit down and stop making fun of me before I send you home.” I knew he was joking, but I obeyed his words as he disappeared off into the kitchen. After a minute, he came back with a towel over his arm, and a menu in his hand, in a similar fashion to that of a waitor. I looked at him questioningly.
     “What?” He demanded.
     “What are you doing?” I replied, trying to keep a straight face.
     “I'm your waitor for tonight.”
     “So you're my waitor, chef, and date?” He nodded. “Can I be co-chef?” I asked this expecting him to say no, but he thought about it for a second, and said yes. I'm a bad cook, and Seunghyun knows it, so I was surprised when he agreed to my question, but I hastily followed him through to the kitchen. After deciding what we wanted to eat, we set to work. I was doing all of the easy stuff, while he did all of the bigger tasks.

     “Do you want to cut the potatoes?” He asked, as he held out a plate and knife for me to cut them on. I agreed and took the items he was handing to me. I had only made a few cuts, when all of a sudden-
     “OW!” I screamed. I had cut my finger and it was bleeding. Seunghyun turned to see what I had done, and instantly came over to me. He reached into a cupboard and pulled out a first aid kit, and sat me down so that he could examine me.

     “Ahh, silly MinHye. You must be more careful.” He said as he looked at my finger and began to dress it with bandages. Once he was done, he gave it one last look over, and kissed my hand. I looked at him, surprised at the skin ship. Normally Seunghyun is very formal about how we interact, which is why I don't call him oppa, and we don't normally hug, or touch. He merely just smiled at me, and escorted me into the other room so that I couldn't hurt myself again, while he continued to work in the kitchen.
