Unlike other evenings, the sun went down wayy earlier today.
My phone rang while I was lost in thoughts being already burdened by my broken heart and now an infatuation on top...that too,
A hopeless romantic crush on a guy whom I promised to get back with his ex.
Why do I get myself in matters like this?
I picked up the phone only to hear a voice akin to an excited kid waiting to get his candies.. "open the door".. Like trick or treat
Wait... Wtf.. "DOOR? ARE YOU HERE? ALREADY?", I realized I wasted my time procrastinating.
Not that I really wanted to go...but I have to go for his sake.
I hurriedly put on my jacket and some BB cream.. And improved my glum look with some mascara and lipstick as I ran down the stairs to atleast let him in while I do the rest.
"I thought I was gonna be rejected again", the same soft, yet low pitched voice from a day ago, felt so different.. so manly.
My mind was lagging behind in nervousness as my hands opened the door to find a fully suited Yunho, standing on my porch dressed in a black suit with combed back, styled hair revealing his forehead.
His forehead made him so much more attractive with those sharply defined eyebrows and beautifully shaped, big, yet fierce eyes.. I was completely lost in checking him out until my brother carrying a tray of freshly baked cookies interrupted from behind,
"holyyyy... HE IS HOTTER THAN MY COOKIES... Who hired is this model
Y/N ?", he asked getting jerk-surprised by Yunho, who stood there in utmost glory.
"Mind letting me in? It's cold outside" he smirked at catching me checking him out red handed.
"y/n he's wearing better makeup than you.. Get a life please", my brother teased me, who was busy simping with eyes over a guy who's obviously out of my league.
"thanks for the compliment Seungcheol oppa.. But me and my partner gotta move", I couldn't banter with my brother like other times because of being conscious about my looks to atleast match 5% with his in order to be called his girlfriend.
"Hi, I'm Yunho... I'm Y/N's... Prom partner", he said looking at my brother who was scanning him out just as much as me.
Prom partner... Yes that's all he is to me... Just today more.. Then we'll go our separate ways.
"yes.. Prom partner it is...", I said pushing him towards my room on the second floor.
"Whoa you sure your parents don't live with you?", he asked looking at my nicely decorated and spacious house..."cause mine don't too.. And my house is a mess most times"
Finally in my room, I got him seated on the bed while I went to my wardrobe to recreate a look that atleast matches his level...
He deserves the best.. Someone exactly like Mina only.
Not wanting to wash my face, I applied some more Blush to my cheeks and some highlighter to give it a glam look.
Slipping into a red silk dress which I prepared for a date with my stinky ex, I shed some tears but made sure I didn't smudge my makeup.
Winging a not-so-perfect eyeliner and slipping into my new Red stiletto.. No my black and red adidas shoes which were perfect to my comfort and also to ruin a glam look; Cinderella busted into the room,
"Ta Da...",i presented myself with a swirl, to Yunho who averted his eyes from the sunflower painting on my wall and looked at me intently before passing a smile.
"You look beautiful..", was all he could say.
Ah, what am I getting my hopes up for... He's only excited to see Mina.
Many thoughts engulfed me during my journey to the door where I bid farewell to Seungchol oppa who looked happy to see me going out with someone to enjoy after a long time.

Yunho's pov
I didn't even realize myself how I suddenly got speechless the moment I saw her...
This dress she's wearing.. The smell of her room.. Her bold red lipstick ..her minimal makeup and the way she chose shoes instead of heels makes me admire her so much.
I had so many things to say to her.. But all I could say was.. Beautiful.. Of course she looks beautiful, lovely, incredible.. And most importantly.. So confident and powerful.
The favor she's doing me...
Now that I realize this, I feel like Mina was in no way obliged to hurt her feet all the time by wearing heels.
And more than that.. It was in no way, my fault that I am this tall.. Its just a matter of Choices.
The choices of Y/n make me admire her... But she just agreed to get me back with Mina... There's no way she's feeling these strange things I'm feeling right? Yeah she even said I'm just a Prom partner ....
Arghhh I should just focus on today's plan.

The Car ride was devoid of any sound because of these inner Self-conflict Concerts in the brains of the two.
Just that, there was a feeling of comfort which lingered between them... Mixed with the feeling of longing.. Cause if plans work out, this would be their last night together.
"You have reached the destination", a statement from the GPS bot finally succeeded in breaking the silence.
"Ahh wait", Yunho hurriedly got off from the car and went to open the door for his date for the day... The verdict of his self conflict resulting in him deciding to cherish every moment he gets to spend with y/n making her happy as a repayment of the favour.
"whoa.. Unnecessary but Chivalric",
Y/n laughed it off and seemed to have reached a similar conclusion as Yunho.
She held his arm to make it look romantic whereas all it made them look was.. More distant and awkward.
Y/N's Pov
The moment I stepped foot in the place. I knew I wouldn't be fine.
A large open space decorated with string lights with tall, bright lamps showering gentle golden lights upon happy heads.. Singing the song of love.
The place was romantically decorated with hundreds of beautiful girls, who gave their best in presenting themselves so exquisitely today and their partners, suited up to win hearts of their dates.
There was a feeling of love in the air as we stepped into the main hall decorated with pearly red and white balloons.. Flower bouquets at intervals. The atmosphere was classic but definitely not for someone who just got dumped a few days ago.
Couples danced to the soft sound of music faintly touching the notes of the piano with sparkling auras all around..
There were only two pairs of eyes who did not seem to be in love..
Even though, hand in hand, the two could not gather up the courage to look into each other's eyes.
"I can't believe you showed up", a female voice helped in shooing the fog of silence above the couple.
