Hyewon's POV

         Why must he tell me to change my shorts? Why he cared if I expose or not skin? It was my skin, my legs, anyway. Why did he have to be bothered by it? It wasn’t as if he had any kind of relationship with me that would allow him that right. I mean, okay, let’s say we were friends (which was pretty hard to determine since I didn’t know well my feelings towards him), do friends take that right? I was so confused. What made him act like that? Why he had to look for me on his day off? Why did he look for me, in any moment? I wasn’t someone whom he could take something from, or someone who can help him in any way. Did he… like me? I just didn’t want to think silly things again and be sad because I realize he just wasn’t for me.

         We reached the place we were going to eat. It was a small but catchy coffee shop with wooden walls and fancy tables, which I didn’t know it could exist in our neighborhood. Once we sat, the waitress came to take our order and she blushed when Nam Woohyun started to order. I betted she was dying inside because of the handsome man she was talking to. He was smiling till his eyes became a thin line, as he was used to when he talked to strangers or people in general (not counting Yang Seungho). The waitress left and he looked at me straight in my eyes, so deeply that it kind of made me felt weird, so I had to look somewhere else.

         He seemed to realize he was being a little intimidating, since he cleared his throat and planted his sweet smile again in his face. “Hyewon-ssi, this is the first time we go out together.”

         I was kind of taken aback by his sudden topic. I didn’t really expect him to start the conversation saying that. “Oh? I don’t think so…”

         “Eh?” He clenched his eyebrows slightly.

         “Do you remember when harabeoji got lost? We went out together…” I said, remembering how hard it was for me that time to think that halmeoni could be left alone.

         “Oh, right. You were so scared.” He said, with a rather cute voice. I nodded timidly. “You were cute then.” He laughed a bit and I couldn’t help but feel my ears starting to redden by his gaze. “But this is the first time that we hmm go out together.” He said, making effort in the word ‘go’.

         I clenched my eyebrows and tilted mindlessly my head. “What do you mean?”

         He rested his back on the back of the chair and made a thoughtful face. “Hmm, that time we didn’t go out because I told you to do it or something, but because we needed to find harabeoji and halmeoni told us to go. We didn’t even know each other properly then.”

         ‘Then’? Does he mean we know each other now?

         “Um, that’s right…”

         “However, this is a…” He stayed in silence for a while and looked straight at me again, with that intensive gaze that made me felt uneasy. “… date.” He said almost for him and continued, “because I’m treating you…” He whispered but loud enough for me to hear.

A date? It was then my first date with Nam Woohyun-ssi… I felt my cheeks were burning and my heart raced slightly.

         “A-a date?” I echoed mindlessly, aware that I was widening my eyes.

         Nam Woohyun was taken to earth again by my voice, as it seemed to, and shook his head slowly before he smiled again. “Yup, my first date with Kang Hyewon.”

         If I was drinking anything, I’d have choked on it. It was exactly what I thought, how could he think and say the same? And if he said ‘first’, then it meant there would be more after this one?

         I realized I hadn’t said anything so I cleared my throat and nodded rather vigorously but with no excitement. “Oh, yes…”

         “So today has to be something very special.” He was again looked at me so deeply, making my heartbeats too loud.

         “Wh-what do you mean, Nam Woohyun-ssi?” I couldn’t help but feel again uneasy and excited and all weird because he was being too strange today. Every single thing he said made me think too much, since he himself seemed to be thinking too much about everything he told me. Why he was acting so weird that day?

         It was a relief that at that moment our order arrived so we could stop talking this pointless conversation. He ordered a black Americano for him with a croissant and a frappe for me with a cinnamon roll. I started opening the straw to drink the frappe, trying to do something so he won’t answer me. I didn’t really know if I wanted or not to know what he meant. He too started to sip his drink and gave the first bite to his croissant rather rushed. He didn’t want to answer too, I thought.

         Though I didn’t like that much cinnamon, the roll was tasty, that made me finish it for the first time ever. I realized Nam Woohyun had finished his croissant and was straight in the back of the chair, just drinking his Americano and looking at me rather curious when I finished the roll. I looked up at him for a moment but when our eyes met I again had to look away because of his intense gaze. I took the frappe and finished it a little rushed too, and cleared my throat when the glass was empty.

         He seemed to enjoy my awkwardness since he smiled when I sat straight. “Hyewon-ssi, do you have something to do today?” His voice was curious.

         I frowned. “Today? Um, no, I don’t. Why?”

         He smiled widely, as if he had heard good news. “Okay, then you have something now to do.”

         I frowned even more and was again a bit confused. “Eh? What?”

         “Staying with me the whole day.” It wasn’t a question but an statement itself.

Woohyun’s POV

         When we reached the café, I couldn’t stop looking at her. She looked too beautiful, gorgeous. I had never seen her like that before. She had a slight shine in her eyes that I hadn’t seen before. Her hair was straightened down and the long under her shoulders was stunning, since she always used it tied up. Her hands looked so soft that made me want to hold them so tightly that she couldn’t release them ever. Her skin, though it was too shown and it made me a bit angry, was also stunningly shining. Her lips were so pink and wet, making me want to touch them with mine and never release them too. I just had never seen her like that before.

         My first date with Kang Hyewon… Just after I said it was when I realized how important that day was for both of us; if I planned to enjoy times with her like this many times more, this first day was the most important for us. It was like our beginning. I couldn’t help but feel excited thinking of it. I wanted to do everything with her but I knew all I had done before with my ex girlfriends wouldn’t work with Hyewon so I felt lost because I didn’t know how to manage the situation.

         We then were walking in silent back to the building because I just couldn’t think of what to do. I was feeling like an inexperienced teenager and it made me mad. We stopped at the entrance of the building, she was looking kind of tired or boring and it made me worried, scared that she might not be enjoying our date.

         “What do you want to do now, Hyewon-ssi?” It was all what I could think of. If I didn’t know what to do, then I should ask her and do just what she wanted, since that was what I actually wanted.

         “Eh, I don’t know. I’m a bit sleepy…” She lowered her head again. It made me sick to see her like that all the time, since I knew her actually tough. But her answer made me even more worried. Sleepy? Was I that boring, then? Ah, so frustrating.

         “What? Sleepy? Why? It’s still morning, not even 12m, how can you be sleepy again? It isn’t even yet two hours ago since you woke up…”

         She laughed timidly which made my heart flutter. “I didn’t sleep early last night and… Nam Woohyun-ssi woke me up too early. I couldn’t sleep enough…” She scratched her neck still timid and I felt like the worst human being ever.

         “You haven’t slept enough because I bothered you so early? Woah, I’m so wrong.” I sighed feeling terrible and awful. What was I thinking? It wasn’t even 9am when I went there. Who knocks at 9am on a day off on someone else’s house? So stupid I was.

         “That’s not it, Nam Woohyun-ssi! It’s really okay. I’m glad you treated me this meal, thank you so much. But it’s just that I haven’t had a good week so I wanted to rest today…” By each word she said I was feeling even worse. Of course she might want to rest on her free day, why must you go and bother her, Nam Woohyun? You’re really so stupid and an awful man.

         “So, you’re going to be more tired because of this? Ah, I’m so stupid. I guess you then won’t be with me the whole day…” I sat on the stairs, thinking of what to do. I really didn’t want to let her go. I prepared myself to be with her the whole day, that’s why I asked Yuri for the day off, not just to have a 45 minutes breakfast with her. Plus, she looked tremendously stunning, I couldn’t just let her go like that. But I didn’t know what to do.

         “Nam Woohyun-ssi, I’m sorry…” She sat next to me, rather too far for my preference, and looked worried and really sorry. I didn’t want to make her feel like that, I was the bad here. I didn’t want to let her go but I also didn’t want to make her more tired because of me. I wanted to make her feel rested and relaxed by my side. And sudd
