"oppa!!" mika called as soon as she saw jae suk on his phone waiting for her.

jae suk looked at her and nearly froze in his place to see mika wearing a very pretty light blue above knee length sundress, with slight curly hair and even in elegant doll shoes.

she looks so different, jae suk thought to himself. this sent so many butterflies on his stomach, he can't even describe it properly.

"hey, mika." he greeted her not willing to remove his smile. "you look... neat today."

"i'm not that comfortable to be honest. but i think i need to wear a lot of these soon." she said chuckling.

"i don't think i will get used to it."

"ya!" she whacked his shoulder playfully.

---

"why did you want to meet me here anyway?" jae suk asked as they walk around the plaza.

"uhmm i actually wanted to ask you something."

"what is it?"

mika looked around first before seeing the popular LED rose garden in the distance. "let me tell you here." she replied and held his hand to drag him there.

"whoa, it's so beautiful here." mika said adoring the flowers without removing her hold on jae suk.

"not as beautiful as you." jae suk added making mika cringe and laugh, "that's so cringe, okay?" she replied.

"what? it's true." he defended his opinion.

"no, it's not." mika denied as they both walk around the garden. when mika finally found a quiet spot where no one can hear them, she finally stopped walking.

"is something wrong?"

"can i ask you something?" she faced him.

"sure, what is it?"

"you see..." mika felt nervous, her heart suddenly starts racing. "i gave it a thought and i was wondering..." she then held his other hand.

"is today our first day together?"

jae suk furrowed his eyebrows, confused of what she meant. after giving it a quick thought, he suddenly found out what.

"wait. wait, hold up..." he gasped, "are you telling me that..." his smile got wider than earlier today.

"are you saying 'yes' to my question?" he asked and started tearing up. mika nodded with a wide smile and hugged him real tight.

"is this true? are you really gonna date me now?" a tear suddenly fell from his eye.

"yes, yes." mika laughed and hugged him again. she then heard jae suk sobbing. "what are you-- are you crying?" mika looked at his face and it was really red and crying.

"aww!" mika smiled and hugged him once again. "don't cry." she said wiping his tears afterwards.

"thank you, mika." jae suk laughed and cupped her face, kissing her softly and a tear lastly following down.

"i love you." he breathed out after pulling away.

"me too." she replied wiping the last tear from his eye.

"and yes, today's our first day." jae suk laughed and again, hugged her tight.

"oh, jae suk!" jung hana said as she saw the two getting out of the taxi in front of mika's place.

"hello, mother." jae suk greeted.

"i guess you and mika went somewhere together." her mother assumed.

"ah, yes... we uhmm met a friend today." mika lied and faked her smile.

"oh, that's great. i'm just about to finish dinner, stay over with us, jae suk." jung hana said and went inside the apartment.

"we'll be there, mom." mika said as jung hana's footsteps fade in the apartment.

mika looked at jae suk, "oh, you know my mother. she never let's you leave without eating." she smiled at him.

"i know, i know." jae suk chuckled and stole a quick kiss from mika.

"hey!" she got startled. "what if they saw us?" she worried.

"trust me, we won't." he said and kissed her again, making her immediately push him away.

"let's just take it inside." she said and walked with him inside mika's apartment.

"where have you been, you two?" kwang soo asked as soon as he saw them going inside their place.

"just..." jae suk looked at mika.

"just went to buy some stuff at the mall." mika lied again.

"i thought you met a friend?" jung hana suddenly asked.

oh no.

"i uhmm.." mika stuttered.

"we went to the mall after meeting that friend of ours." jae suk said getting away from any crisis.

"oh, for a second there, i thought you two were lying." hana said continuing her cooking.

a phone ring suddenly got their attention, "oh that must be sun bin. call me when dinner's ready." kwang soo said and walked to his room, shutting the door closed.

"i'll just get changed." mika said and walked to her room, not thinking about jae suk who was quietly following her while jung hana isn't facing them.

"ya, what are you--" she couldn't continue because of jae suk closing her bedroom door, locking it too.

jae suk cupped her face saying, "you're are indeed very bad at lying, huh?" before kissing her with a very steamy pace. he felt mika kiss back which got the feeling steam around the room.

while both wrapping their hands around each other, jae suk grabbed on her thigh breathing out, "jump."

and as instructed by the boyfriend, mika jumped and wrapped both her legs around jae suk's hips without even disconnecting the lips.

he lifted her towards the bed gently putting her down, pulling away to get some air. "what if we get caught?" mika breathed out as she tugged jae suk's favorite hoodie.

"don't worry, we won't." he husked and got to swiftly remove his hoodie, throwing it elsewhere and just connected his lips again with mika's.

before he could remove his white shirt inside, they both heard jung hana shout from the kitchen, "dinner's ready!!"

jae suk dropped his head down and let's out a small laugh. "next time." he said giving mika a small peck before crawling out of the bed and grab his hoodie on the floor, "we better get a list of excuses soon."

mika on the other hand was indeed annoyed, she wanted more.

maybe next time.
