The next morning came by pretty quickly and I got up, starting to get ready for my meet up with Sunghoon later for lunch.
"Oh, you're getting ready early for a Saturday, Jinhee. You have a date with Kyungjun, am I right?" She said in a teasing tone.
"No no, mom. I'm meeting up with a friend"
"Who?"

"Remember Juyeon's cousin who is an idol? I'm going to hang out with his band mate"
"Oh ok, if you end up staying out till late, invite him for dinner"
"Hm, I'm going now! Bye bye mom!"
With that I went out but then I realized that we didn't say where we would meet so I decided to call him.
"Hello? Jinhee?"
"Hey Sunghoon! Is it ok that I called you?"

"Yes, don't worry"
"Oh ok. Glad to hear that, I wanted to ask where are we going to meet"
"I'm currently on my way to pick you up, actually"
"Huh? And how do you know where I live?"
"Jake"
"Right"
"Anyways I think I'll be there in 5 minutes? Yeah, I think"
"Ok then. See you, hoon"
"Bye, Jin"

While I was waiting I decided to post something on Instagram since I decided to be more active on my socials.

"Hey, Jin"
"Finally! I thought you got lost in our neighborhood"
"Well kinda. Hey! You cut your hair?"
"Yeah, I wanted to try this hairstyle for quite a while"
"It suits you very well"
"Thank you. Do you think I can pass as a boy dressed like this?"
"Yes, I think and now with your haircut even more"

"Nice!"
I was wearing gray loose pants with a cream flannel shirt and a white tee under it and I wore many accessories and a beanie on.
We arrived at the manga cafe and after doing the usual health protocols, we got inside and started to look around the numerous volumes in their cafe.
"Hoon, look! The cat!"

"Hm yeah it's cute. Have you chosen yet?"
"Ah yeah, I just need that one... Here"
I was trying to reach out for this volume but in vain so he got it for me and we went to one of the reading rooms.
"Finally, I don't have to act like a dude" I said laying down immediately.
"Yeah"
"What should we order?"

"You're thinking of lunch already? It's just 12pm, Jin"
"I know"
We read for about an hour and took some pictures before ordering something.
"Woah! Their bulgogi bibimbap is so good!"
"Aish! Eat slower or you'll choke"
"Did you get to visit Milan back then?"

"I don't remember much but I think we went to the city center, that really big church"
"Ah Duomo!" I said smiling softly as I looked out of the window.
"You miss Italy, don't you?"
"I do, a lot lately. Weird thing is that I didn't even live there for long"
"It's ok. If it's important to you, it's ok to miss it although you didn't spend much time there"
"Wow didn't think you were the type to talk about these things this way"

❄︎

"Did you like the food?" He asked as we finished eating.
"Oh hell yes! I should comeback here with the girls one day!"
"Glad you enjoyed it, shall we go somewhere else?"
"Ohh! Yes! And I know where we could spend the whole afternoon"
"I have a feeling that I know where we're going"

We decided to take a cab to the mall so people won't recognize him in public transportation.
"Knew it"
"Let's just go"
"It's Saturday today, won't there be many people?"
"Yeah but the rink area is always a bit deserted, especially since it's not winter time yet. Plus today there are only toddlers classes"
"Hm I see"

❄︎

Even though there was an entrance near the rink we still went for the main entrance cuz he wanted to do some shopping. We went to some shops and he ended up buying gifts for his members, Heeseung, Jake and Niki.
"And with this, I have their birthday gifts ready"
"You're such a sweet person, Sunghoon. You didn't even think twice before buying Niki that"
"It's called being a good rich friend" he said in a sassy tone.
"Flexing, I see"
