Spring flingChapter 3 The fitness freak
When the clock 7.13pm he wanted to leave the spot Hyukjae had been standing in for awhile now in front of the restaurant. After standing outside the building all by himself, looking like a loner, the said man had given up the thin little hope he had. Not that he was looking forward to go on a blind date, it had more to do with the wish that he wouldn´t be stood up, as usual. But apparently his wish was unheard.
This has got to be a joke. The blind date started at 7pm and the other part had yet to show up. If the guy didn't want to meet it was fine with Hyukjae. It's not like he himself were super ecstatic about this date. He would much rather stay at home, eat ice-cream and watch 'How to lose a guy in 10 days'. Not that Hyukjae himself needed help in that apparently, because if it was a typical date for him, the other won't show up. This time was no different. Maybe if he were to leave now the date would be forgotten and his life will continue as usually. Just as Hyukjae turned around to make his way back to his apartment complex, an attractive guy knocked on his left shoulder.
Raising one of his eye brows the kindergarten teacher looked at the stranger before him. Not really in the mood anymore (not that he were before either) he asked in a sharp tone. "What do you want?!"
The other seemed taken aback. Almost offended the man answered Hyukjae that they were supposed to go on a blind date.
"If I'm not mistaken, that date was supposed to start fifteen minutes ago."
"Well I had an important client that needed to finish her workout. What was I supposed to do, huh? If I had you number I would have sent you a message but you friend didn't give me yours." The man had by now regained his confident and acted as if it were someone else's fault that he were late for the date. "Now that I'm here, shall we go inside and get this started?!"
Before the teacher had the chance to object the other had already dragged him inside the restaurant. Why couldn’t this fitness dude have been a few more minutes late? Then Hyukjae had had the chance to make his way. Nothing ever seemed to work the path he wished for. But this far along his life, he had learned that the earth-with everything and everyone living and breathing on it-didn’t collaborated with Hyukjae.
Hopefully this date would blow past in the blink of the eye. Well at home he could go and cuddle down in between the bed sheets and sleep till it was finally Sunday and no more seeing people. Maybe he would attend to his dirty laundry. It seemed like the perfect Sunday plan for Hyukjae. For now he just had to survive this date.
Sitting at the table while waiting for the food to be served they had- much to Hyukjae's astonishment- a normal conversation. The black haired man had learned that his date's name was Kim Bon-Hwa and he worked at Young-woon´s gym as a personal trainer. One of his clients was none other than Young-woon himself.
So that's how they know each other.
When the food was finally served their conversation made a stop. Maybe because the two had already talked about the common stuff mentioned at a first date and they had nothing more to talk about. Or it could have something to do with the fact that both men were too immerse in the food at hand.
Drooling Hyukjae ogled the dishes before his eyes. There were different kinds of meat, side dishes, sauces and rice. They both had a glass of beer as a drink. Why there was an alcoholic beverage in his glass made no sense to the kindergarten teacher, due to the fact that he never drank any kind of liquor. The latest time he drank alcohol was during his sister Sora´s wedding and they served champagne during the toast. That was one of the main reasons he stayed home when his friends went out to bars and night clubs. He prefers sweet drinks, for example strawberry milk or hot chocolate. Unfortunately that fact wasn’t so appealing. That led to him drinking the beer placed on the table.
Picking up a piece of Samgyeopsal with the chopsticks Hyukjae´s mouth started watering. This was so worth going on this stupid date. Just as he was about to place the meat inside his mouth he heard Bon-Hwa comment.
“Do you know that that piece contains 30 calories and 2.2 grams fat
