Shin-ae POV-

"New year, new me!" I exclaimed to myself as I sat on my bed. I blew into my party noisemaker as I continued, "And I want to eat healthier and start going on walks."

Now, I knew that probably wasn't going to happen, but I could at least try. 'I'm going on a walk when I wake up!' And at those words, I fell back onto my bed, closed my eyes, and fell asleep.

That morning, as I woke up, I was extremely tired. But I was also determined. I'm going for a walk! 'Being healthy can't be THAT hard...' I thought.

I got into my workout clothes, a T-shirt and leggings, and set off on my walk. I didn't get far before I carelessly walked into somebody, not having been paying attention.

I looked up into a pair of bright blue eyes, belonging to a tall, dark-haired man.
But the the problem is, I know this man. And I also knew that agitated look on his face.

"Kousuke?" I asked, all of the disbelief I felt showing on my face.

Kousuke looked a little less aggravated once he recognized the young lady. "Miss Yoo? What are you doing here?"

I was indignant as I retorted, "I'm taking a walk? What's it look like? Well, anyways, what are YOU doing here?"

"I've just come out from Sunbucks," he said, motioning towards the cafe to his right.
"It's my day off, so I figured I could enjoy some coffee."

"Well, I guess I'll see you at work tomorrow then. Bye!" I yelled behind me as I marched off in the direction I had come from. But, annoyingly, I was soon stopped by a strong grip on my wrist. I looked back, surprised, at Kousuke. He was, in fact, the one holding my wrist.

Kousuke noticed what he had done and cleared his throat before continuing, "Uh... Would you want to meet me for dinner later tonight? There's some work-related things we need to discuss."

I internally rolled my eyes and replied, "Sure... Where are we meeting?"
'UGH! I was excited to have the night to myself tonight, but I guess that's not happening.'

"I will text you the details later," he said back casually. "But until then, have a good day, Miss Yoo."

"Uh, thanks, Kousuke. You too."

I flopped onto my bed and screamed angrily into my pillow.
"This dude! Why does he always have to ruin my plans?"
'Whatever,' I thought to myself. 'He said it was work related so I guess it's probably important.'

Later, I got a text from Kousuke.

*Is there anywhere you would particularly want to go for dinner?*

I replied, *No, anywhere is fine.*

*Ok, I will pick you up in thirty minutes,* he replied quickly.

*Ok see you then,* I said back.

I got dressed and put on a nice sweater and some dark jeans. I brushed my hair and left it down.  'My hair is getting pretty long,' I thought, looking into the mirror.

Just then the doorbell rang and I opened it the door to find Kousuke standing there, in his regular fancy brown coat. I got into his car, (which still costs more than my entire existence) and we silently drove all the way to a sushi restaurant. The place was nice, but I'm not really a big fan of sushi. But hey! Free food! I ain't complaining!

As we sat down to our table, a waitress came up to us and asked for our orders. We both ordered and then Kousuke started the conversation with, "So... Are you enjoying your time working at our company?"
