You've been late for your allegedly suprise date with Namjoon. Atleast that what you thought, it was. Last week, while he was showering, there's glow on his phone indicating new notifications and you see the text wrote.
"Your reservation at The High Restaurant had been confirmed @ 28th January 2021, 9:00 p.m. Please come within the span of 30 minutes after the time set or your reservation will be declined".
However, when you about to reach to the phone. Namjoon walked out of his bathroom and you rushingly doing something else. "Are you okay?" Namjoon roughly said. You silently nodded, the smile on your face never faded. Namjoon look into his phone and smile. You can't help but feels giddy about it.
"I won't be available next weekends," Namjoon grab his white t-shirt. "Why?" you sheepishly asked. "Outsides work," he walked out leaving you in the room. You though that he might be acted that way because of the suprise. People might think you are dumb for thinking that the dinner was meant for you but you cannot help. The date is on your birthday. How could you not be excited about it.
You walked on the pavement with your best mid-lenght dress and makeup. You're not the wiser when it comes to dressing and makeup, so, you took out your allowance for tonight, for Namjoon. You look at yourself in the mirror one last time before turning your head to the restaurant. Your breath halted.
At the front of the restaurant, you saw Namjoon with Sooah. Of course, this dinner was for him and Sooah. What were you thinking? His lover for two years and the girl that he supposed to marry. Lee Sooah. If you would compare yourself with her, it's like comparing iron and diamond.
At that time you feels like you're the dumbest person in the world. It's not Namjoon fault. It's yours. You hope too much for Namjoon to fall in love with you only to left you like this. You don't know whether you're supposed to cry. Do you even have right to cry. You step back and hide yourself before Namjoon see you.
"How humiliating?" you thought to yourself.
You raised your hand for the taxi and decided to head to the supermarket instead. You need grocery anyway. While doing grocery, you forgot that you dressed quite fancy and everyone's looking at you. You become self-conscious about but as time passed by you don't really care. What's in your mind is more distracting that the stares around you?
You open the door to your home to be suprised by Namjoon sitting in the living room. "Oh, Joon. You're home", you looked at him while he busy staring at your appearances. "Yeah, I... uh. Where are you from? I'm so worried that you're not home", he said looking at your face. "Why you dressed pretty? Are you going on a date?" He stared at you.
You already left the feelings of heavy hard at the supermarket but it seems like the feels come back home with you when Namjoon started asking that. "I just...supposed to meet with friends but", you tried to think of something very quick. "the plan was cancelled so, I went to do grocery instead".
"I see. You look beautiful, though. It's a shame that you did not attend anything dressed so beautiful like that", you blushed from his words. "It's okay. I guess". you said. "Are you waiting for something, Joon?", "Yeah, for you", he held your wrist.
"I bought some pasta from that fancy restaurant downtown. I remember you said you craved for it", he pulled you to the kitchen, pointing at the take-away like a child. "Oh yeah haha, thank you, Joon. I appreciate that. I didn't bring anything home for you, though", you look at yourself and the grocery. "It's okay. Anyway, I need to sleep. Today's a long day and I need to prepare for tomorrow journey. Good night", he waved before he entered his room.
You stared at the take-away and a tear slipped from your eyes.
"How could I ever dislike you, Joon?"
