Sulli gritted her teeth in the verge of impatient. She repeatedly kept on stealing the sight of her wristwatch. It’s been almost an hour now that she set her foot inside the Café but the person who supposedly to meet her at the last hour ago still hasn’t arrived yet. She even couldn’t contact through the phone.

“5 more minutes, Soojung! If you don’t show up, I swear you’ll be dead in my hand for sure.”

Speak of devil, a slender figure finally entered the Cafe.

“YAH!!” Sulli yelled, intently to call her ‘oh so super late bestfriend’ totally in piss, but soon she realized knowing that the people started to give her a wired look. She shut her eyes and bended her head down while biting her lower lip in embarrassment.

“OMG! Ssul, I’m sorry.” Krystal breathlessly apologized before she took a glass of water before Sulli and guzzled in one go. “I didn’t mean to be late, but there was something catches up while I’m on my way here.”

“Yes.” Sulli tried to show her smile covered up her irritation. “So now can you continue, why do you want to meet me, Soojongie?” Sulli forced herself to speak calmly. She knew if she burst out, everything will be out of hand. Krystal will be a dead meat in her hand and right in front of the people there.

Krystal smiled sheepishly at her friend. “Actually I have a favor to ask you, Chingu-ah.”

“Just spill it now.” Sulli said, almost break down her patient.

“My Mom set me another blind date again." Krystal stated.

“So what?” Sulli snapped at her friend.

“I want you to help me this time.” Soojung replied with her small hesitant grin.

“What? You want me what?” Sulli made a face and asked her in disbelieve.

“Can I send you instead of me and meet my date on tomorrow?”

“MWO???? Are you out of your mind, Jung Soojung?” Sulli raised her voice again. “No need to say anymore. My answer will be ‘NO’.”

“Please Sulli-ah, if I can make it tomorrow I’ll never ask for your help Sulli. But I can’t.”

“And what the hell you’re busy all of sudden? If my brain function well you’re still unemployed, Ms. Jung.” Sulli remarked.

“Aish ... Why did you bring up that topic?” Krystal said with grim expression which made Sulli shrugged her shoulder as she didn’t bother to feel bad. Krystal rolled her eyes before she spoke again. “Come on, Sulli. I really can’t make it tomorrow. So please.” She pouted and put her puppy eyes in pleading.

“Do you really can't make it or you're fed up with the upteenth times blind dates of yours? And why so difficult! if you don't want to go, why don’t you stand him there? I guess you won’t interest in him anyway.” Sulli advised, totally annoyed.

“NO, I CAN’T.” Soojung exclaimed. “You know my Mom, right? She’ll kill me for sure. So please Sulli. You can just meet him and ditch him after or do whatever you want to end the date. And just show up is enough.” She halted a bit, seemingly in thinking. “Or I don’t mind if you somehow have any interest after the first meet so then don’t hesitate and just try out with him.”

“What? YAH!!” Sulli yelled. “And when did I say that I’m going?”

“Aigoo!! I’m just kidding. Don’t be angry, Chingoo-ah. So Please Please Please~~~” Krystal continued to plead but Sulli didn’t show any signal of agree or even bugged by her friend’s cuteness.

Krystal stopped and shut her eyes, she heaved her heavy sigh before unenergetically spoke. “Arasseo Choi Sulli! This is my very last attempt now, so listen very well.” She paused and looked directly at Sulli who still didn’t bother to care at her friend seriousness. “If you agree ……. My precious a week year old baby, ‘Louis Vuitton Artsy MM Bag’ will be yours by tomorrow.”

Just that, Sulli shot her hungry eyes along with her wide grin toward Krystal. “DEAL!!!”

“Oh my god! My baby!!” Krystal cried out loud and banged her head on the table.

“Listen to me again, Taemin!” Minho firmly said while facing the younger. “NO ….. I won’t do it.” Finished he continued to walk as Taemin still chased after him into a stadium.

“Aigoo! Hyung just for this time. If it’s not I’m so tired with this set up, surely I won’t ask for your help. You should think, have I ever asked you for a favor before? No, right? It’s only you who always come to me and asked for my help and I’ve never declined your demand.”

With that Minho stopped abruptly which made Taemin glued at his spot and gulped.

“So do you want me to pay back for those good deeds you gave me?” Minho asked with no expression. “By going to meet her tomorrow?" Finally he smiled. "Okay I’ll go.”

“Really? You really agree to go, Hyung?” Taemin couldn’t hide his excitement while hopefully staring at the lad in front of him but to his dismay, he only met with a sly smirk form obviously on Minho’s lips.

“Yes Taemin-ah. I’ll absolutely go to meet your blind date partner tomorrow only if you can score a goal within 30 minutes.” Minho dropped the ball in his hand on the ground and kicked it into the field of play. “Agree?! This is only chance for you.” He said for the last time before running into the field and started dribbling the ball.

“Aigoo Hyung!!! Seriously, how could I win over you? Not to mention, how will I be able keep the ball in my possession?” Taemin whined while running after Minho from behind. When he caught up with Minho, instantly he grasped Minho’s Adidas Jacket hoodie. “Hyung, let’s talk about it somewhere else. Undoubtedly, I won’t be able to shoot or even make a goal. So C’mon, I’ll buy the breakfast.”

“It depend on you, you want to play or not? Because it doesn’t matter with me after all, I don’t care. It’s no use with your breakfast to convince me because I’m still not going …. Well unless the chance I give you and you can do it.” Minho said and shoved Taemin’s hand away. He then started to run backward. “The game is start, Taemin. C’mon at least trying, you know?”

Taemin sighed in defeat and decided to play chasing after Minho as in no choice. Right! At least he should be trying.

But to be shamed, even how much Taemin tried to dribble the ball in his control or was about to shoot, Minho always blocked it, showed off with his amazing skill in playing soccer.

“Admit it that you really at defending your ball, Taemin.” Minho sarcastically said with his loud laughter.

In the end after 30 minutes, Taemin scored zero point and Minho win over him with 10 goals. Both young men collapsed their soaking body on the grass and breathed heavily.

“Yah! You lost. So I have no reason to go right?” Minho said and then sat up. “Just find another person to replace you or you just go by yourself since it’s yours in the first place. I cannot help you Taeminnie.” He then stood up and walked away from Taemin who was still worn out from the tense game earlier.

Taemin recovered fast and stood up. He then shouted. “Minho Hyung! How about Park Jisung’s New Jersey with his signature. Listen!! It can be yours by tomorrow if you consider about my request. Let’s see, if you’re lucky enough to be its owner eventually.”

With that Minho stopped and spun around abruptly along with a big grin. “CALL!!!”

Taemin sighed in relief. “Only if I know since the beginning that it should be easy like this.”

Then next day, weekend

From : Jung Soojung

“Namsan Park, 10:00am. Don’t forget Chingu-ah. Fighting!!!”

Sulli : Wait! Isn’t the coffee shop is the perfect option for those going on a blind date? Eyyyy!!! C’mon, first date with a stranger is going to be at the Park? Tsk … What’s a great set up, Auntie Jung? Okay, I guess ‘Hello’ , ‘Goodbye’  and then ‘Hope to not see you again’, definitely enough for me to say to you today. Well! I’m not your real blind date anyway.”

From : Lee Taemin

“Namsan Park, 10:00am. Don’t forget Minho Hyung. Good luck!!!”

Minho : What! Namsan Park!!! Realistically out of the place, isn’t coffee shop is one of a causal atmosphere in meeting? Yes, for the first meet with a complete stranger is already in such romantic place, huh? Great choice of your Mom, Taemin. Okay, I have no interest anyway. Umm ….. Just formally say hi and then bid a farewell already, enough for me to converse with you today. Who care! I’m not your blind date anyway.”
