From last chapter:

" Sorry, I'm having a date with her " Hoya smirked.

" D...ate? " I mumbled as I dazed off.

" Woaaah waaaait " I blurted out as Hoya dragged me away in a fast pace.

As we walked further, Hoya slowed down and turned to me. He then answered my question earlier, " Yes, date. " as he nodded his head. As I walked down the lane way, I felt Hoya's hand slipping into mine.

" Hoya . . . ? " I asked curiously looking at him in the eye.

" Shh. " He whispered as he place his index finger on my lips. " Just . . . come on a date with me today, will you? " he asked sincerely, patiently waiting for an answer with puppy eyes.

Soon, our fingers interlocked with each other as we walked together hand in hand.

" I feel so secure . . " I thought to myself, occasionally peeking over at Hoya. " even though I'm aware the reason he brought me out was only to cheer me up. . "

" Hmm, you wanna do anything ? " Hoya awkwardly asked.

" You were the one who asked me for a date. " I teased while sticking my tongue out at him.

" Ahhh, this little monster " Hoya said as he pinched my nose gently. " haha, ddeokbokki? ? "

" hmm I've never tried it ! ! " I pouted.

" Ahh, then let's go try ! " Hoya exclaimed.

We soon reached the ddeokbokki stall. Ahh, the smell * * Hoya then pulled out a seat for me gentlemanly before taking his own seat beside me.

" Ajumoni ! one plate of ddeokbokki please ! " Hoya ordered.

" Ahh, such a cute couple " the stall owner said as she handed us a plate of ddeokbokki on the table.

" Ajumoni ! We're not ---- " I answered as I got cut off.

" Delicious right? " Hoya teasingly said as he stuffed ddeokbokki into my mouth.

" Wah ! so yummy ! " I exclaimed while chewing, forgetting about him cutting me off while I was speaking.

" Ahh, you even got sauce on your mouth. " Hoya said as he shifted closer to me with only a few centimetres apart our faces.

My heart was thumping really fast. . .

Holding a tissue on his hand, he wiped off the sauce on my mouth before shifting back to his original position. Although it lasted for only a few seconds, my face became red like a tomato.

" Wa , your face look like the sauce. " Hoya joked.

" YAH ! ! " I exclaimed while playfully hitting his arm.

Looking at each other, we started laughing away.

After enjoying the delicious ddeokbokki, we walked over to the movie theatre.

" _______ ah ~ what movie do you wanna watch? " Hoya asked, looking at the different movies available on display.

" O, that one ! " I answered.

" Okay, wait for me here, I'll go get the tickets. " Hoya asked as I nodded my head obediently.

" Maybe I should queue for the popcorns and drinks first . . " I thought as I walked over to where the food and drinks were sold.

As I waited, I started feeling cold.

" ahh, why isn't the queue moving faster. " I whined as I rubbed my hands onto each other to create warmth.

Suddenly, someone placed his jacket on my back.

Turning back to find out who it was, I saw Hoya smiling warmly at me.

" Oh thanks . . " I quickly thanked him and turned my head back forward in case I would blush again.

" Don't be so awkward with me anymore " Hoya whispered as he stood beside me and placed his arm over my shoulders. As I looked at him, he seemed to be the one being more awkward facing the other side.

It became even more awkward during the movie. We happened to put our hands into the popcorn box at a point of time. Ahh, I immediately took my hand out when I felt his. And I regretted it . . I don't even know why . . But he didn't seem to notice it so I just brushed it off. After the movie, we went to have shopping and all. It has been so long since I've received such freedom.

Unknowingly, it was already 7pm and we had to return back to the dorms. As gentlemen as always, Hoya walked me to my dorm before leaving for his.

We said our goodbyes and he signaled me to go in before he leaves. Feeling so thankful for him today, I walked up to him and gave Hoya a tight hug.

" Thanks, Hoya " I whispered.
