Seri has so far tried three hairstyles but still something feels a bit off. She checked the time and realized she has to leave now or she'll be late for her first date ever.
Someone in her class asked her out and she couldn't find any reasons to say no. It was the weekend before their winter break and he mentioned he wanted to have dinner with her.
She said yes and found herself caring about her look more than she expected herself to. She finally decided to just to let her hair down and made some quick retouch on the blush she applied earlier, wanting to achieve the natural look as she doesn't want to scare off her date by applying a full make up. She wants to appear casual even though she has spent the entire day deciding on her outfit.
As she left her room, she saw her brother outside his room. She decided to look the other way and head to the main door where her driver must be waiting and not pay any attention to her brother as he would just ruin her mood.
"Ya, you look nice." said Se Hyung commented with a mocking tone. "Are you going on a date?"
She looked back and saw his mischeavous smile but knowing his brother she knew better than give him the satisfaction of pissing her off. So, she did not respond and just continue to walk away from him.
"Have fun!" he shouted which made her uncomfortable or maybe she was just surprised. Was he just nice to her?
She forgot about Se Hyung as she reached the car waiting for her in the front of their mansion. The driver already knew where she was going. Sang Min, her date, messaged her that he is on his way and he can't wait to see her. The message gave her butterflies which is new for her.
She took out her pocket mirror to check what she looks like before replying that she also is on her way. She looked outside and realized it was quite dark. The house helper reminded her this morning to bundle up since the news said that it might snow today.
First Snow
This is exactly how she imagined her first date to be. She smiled to herself as a love song suddenly started playing on the radio and she watched people on the streets, clearly on a date as well.
"We're here Miss Yoon.." she heard the driver said as she asked him to park the car a few blocks from the actual place as she wanted to walk there by herself. She nodded and fixed her hair again using her little mirror she carried with her. The driver noticed how nervous the young lady is so he looked around from the driver seat and gave her a reassuring smile to let her know she looks fine and there's nothing to be worried about.
"Just call me if you want me to pick you up somewhere nearer...and your father asked me to bring you home before midnight... Please stay around the area or let me know if you're going anywhere else." he reminded her. Seri smiled at him as she knew the exact instructions was to don't let her out of his sight. "Don't worry, Mr. Kim... I won't put you in trouble. I promise." she assured him and flashed him with her smile which reached her eyes.
"Arraso..." the old man said and went out of the driver side to go to her side of the door to open it for her. "Have fun, Miss Yoon."
"I will...." she answered as she held onto her sling bag tightly as she walked to the restaurant. She felt the cold air hit her face so she doesn't know if she was nervous or just cold as she was shivering.
As she walks closer to the restaurant, she recognized Sang Min standing outside waiting for her. It made her heart flutter in ways she couldn't explain.
