Maybe This Time
Maybe This Time
Kyu was patiently waiting inside a restaurant. He can't help to be nervous. It was his first time on a date anyway. He was unconsciuosly scratching his knee from nervousness. He kept looking at his watch.
"My, I'm an hour early," he thought to himself.
People were slowly decreasing in number inside the restaurant, until 5 of them were now left.
His watch displayed 8 pm.
"She should be here by now," he began looking around.Then at the door, he saw her.
She began approaching him in slow motion. He was so stunned he can't move a muscle. Yoona was wearing a simple casual blouse and skirt.
"Kyu? Are you alright?"
"Huh!? Yoona!" He stood up and bumped his knee on the table. "Ouch..."
Yoona giggled. When he acts like this, she founds him very cute. He offered her a seat.
"Thank you."
There was a few minutes of silence and awkwardness.
"Here is the menu, ma'am and sir," a waiter suddenly appeared.
"What do you want to eat?" Kyu asked Yoona.
"Anything you want," Yoona gave a sweet smile.
Kyu just looked down and hid his blushing cheeks. She's so pretty, he thought.
The waiter left with their orders.
"So... How are you?" Kyu asked. Why did I ask that? Stupid me! Kyu thought.
"Ahm, I'm fine?" Yoona doubtly answered.
"I'm sorry." Kyu said as he looked down.
"For what?"
"For me being, like this..."
"What do you mean, Kyu?"
"I..."
"It's okay... I like you being like this," Yoona smiled and tapped his head like a kid.
Then the waiter came with their orders.
While they were eating, Yoona thought of something.
"Why don't we go to the amusement park?"
Kyu spat his water. "What?"
"Let's ride the roller coaster!" Yoona excitedly said.
"but,hmmm..." Kyu looked afraid. Then he remembered his childhood.
"Can we go somewhere?" He asked.
"Huh? At 4th grade you loved the amusement park," Yoona remembered.
"That was a long time ago. And by the way, it's already past your curfew. Your Dad will surely kill me," he reasoned out.
"Oh, fine. Will you take me there sometime?"
"Sure!" Kyu doubtedly answered.
Another awkward silence.
"So, are we...?" Kyu asked.
"I know what you're thinking. It doesn't mean that I like you back that we have to be together though," Yoona answered.
Kyu was silent. He thought he should be careful with what he says.
"But it also doesn't mean we can't be together," Yoona gave her sweetest smile.
Kyu already understood what she said. He was now confident. He thought he should not be shy now and should open up to her more often.
"Thank you for the dinner, Kyu."
"You're always welcome."
"I will take you home now. I'm sorry, I only have my bicycle."
"That's alright!" Yoona smiled.
They rode the bicycle with Kyu in front and Yoona at the back.
"Hold on tight," Kyu warned.
Yoona slowly wrapped her hands around Kyu's waist. That made Kyu felt a little tingling sensation. She hugged him and was enjoying the ride.
Kyu thought," I hope the road will never end."
Then suddenly, Yoona whispered and Kyu heard it clearly.
"I hope we can stay like this for long."
