Place In The Sun (On-Hold)

"L-Lunch dates?"

"Yes, do you object?"

"Ah, no, its fine... I just didn't expected it..."

"Enough of this talk, come on, let's head out— oh wait, let's fix you first."

Suryeon took out a handkerchief from her pocket and proceeded to gently wipe Yoonhee's tear stained cheeks with it, looking so focused as she did so. Yoonhee was baffled by the action but remained seated nonetheless, subtly stealing glances at the serious-looking lady in front of her. She mentally took note of how much prettier she was up close, fighting her urge to smile widely.

"Ah, good thing your makeup's not ruined... Well, its all done now. Let's go?"

"Okay, do you have a place in mind unnie?"

Suryeon nodded as an answer, earning a wide smile from Yoonhee as they walked out of the office side by side. On the way down, Suryeon told her that they'd be using her car and Yoonhee made no protests against it. And so the journey towards the first lunch date began, with the two of them talking during the while ride to ease down any tension.

"You love Japanese food?"

"They're so-so, but this restaurant serves the best Japanese cuisines so I like it here. Are you fine with it tho?"

"Anything is fine as long as its edible!"

Yoonhee exclaimed, oblivious to the fact that Suryeon was stifling a laugh from what she said and how she sounded so excited with it. So when she finally finished removing the seat belt and turned to look at the woman in the driver's seat, she was surprised to see her covering her mouth and with smiling eyes.

"W-What's wrong? Suryeon unnie, did I say something?"

"Aniyo, I just find it funny how a CEO who can buy a whole restaurant seems to be contented with anything that's edible."

"Oh..."

With Yoonhee's flustered reaction, Suryeon finally bursted out laughing and Yoonhee could swear that she looked even more beautiful when she's happy. That's another mental note to remember.
