Junhoe waits for me outside my apartment building, when I open the door he turns around to look at me and smiles.
- Hey.
- Hey, Jinani. You look great.
- So do you. - I say eyeing him up and down. He's wearing a blue plaid shirt and black ripped jeans, the rips go up to his thighs, showing his perfect skin, making me bite my lip.
We walk together making small talk. The leaves are falling and it's pretty chilly outside. June is acting awkwardly, I can tell he's nervous, so am I. I bite my lip strongly, trying to get some courage. I look at his hand, taking a big breath before intertwining my fingers with his. He looks at me with a surprised face for a second but it turns into a big smile right after.
We have dinner on a fancy restaurant, making me feel extremely embarrassed.
- You didn't have to bring me to such a fancy place.
- You deserve being treated well.
- If you took me to McDonalds I'd still love it just because you'd be there with me.
- I'm trying to impress you, let me have my moment.
I smile at him, taking a sip of my drink.
- Well, it's working.
He smiles proudly.
We have a great time together and the night feels magical. We connect very well, talking about our plans for the future, dreams, goals, friends, family, past, present and future. When he walks me back home, I take some time on the door before having the guts to ask:
- Do you want to get in?
- Do you want me to?
My breathing is heavy already, both from nervousness and the tension.
- I do.
