Don't forget to buy a party dress.  I will announce your return from the States, so everyone will be looking at you.  My dad took the last sip of coffee, then gripped his briefcase in his hand. 

OK Dad. 

The man exited through the front door, leaving me and our housekeeper alone in the kitchen. 

Yes, my dad is a rich man with a lot of influence.  That's why I've always been an excellent student and never got into any trouble.  But I've always had friends, and overall I've been happy.  However, deep down, I was missing something.  I didn't know what. 

- Miss [Y / N ], are you alright?  - My housekeeper distracted me from my thoughts. 

- Yes, thank you for your concern.  - I replied.  - Please tell the driver to be ready in an hour.  The woman nodded, then bowed and left the room. 

I decided to go to my room.  I pulled my phone out of my pocket to check the time.  It was a little after eight in the morning.

After finishing my shower and morning routine, I put on a simple dress.  I picked up my purse and headed downstairs.

  - Is the driver here?  The housekeeper nodded, adjusting my dress a little.

- Yes, miss [Y / N].

The road passed me mostly in silence, except for a short conversation with the driver.  I spent this time writing with my friends.

I felt a warm breeze as soon as I stepped out of the car.  I was greeted almost immediately by the shop owner.

  - [Y / N] how good to see you again!  The woman opened the door for me and quickly followed me in. 

- Oh, thank you.  Nice to see you too. 

While looking for a dress, I found nothing that would catch my attention.

[Y / N) Are you looking for a party dress?  The owner asked, looking up from the newspaper. 

- Yes.  I was thinking of a red dress or something eye-catching.  After all, my dad was about to announce my return.  I was very important to the future of my father's company. 

-I have exactly what you are looking for.

On the same day, my friend and I went to dinner.  Even though our parents were filthy rich, we liked to eat cheap chicken from the booth and go wherever our legs took us. 

I can't believe you still haven't met anyone!  Who's gonna take you to the prom now?  You cannot go alone!  Mina looked at me with her big eyes. 

Yes, a twenty-one-year-old girl who had sex with only one boy for a while in her entire life was quite a rare occurrence, I think.

Kim Hanbin.  Her eyes widened even more and she dropped her chicken. 

This is the cookie that works for your father?  I nodded my head before taking another bite of food.  - Wow.  your father has been trying to bind you two together for a long time.  Sometimes I wonder how come you are still not seeing him?  He's so handsome and sweet. 
- She said dreamily.

It was two in the morning.

I was lying on the bed with my laptop on my lap.  I was still wearing my dress.  It was hot in Seoul and I didn't know if I should blame my period that was about to start, but all of a sudden I craved ice cream. 

I was wearing a thin jacket to match my dress and grabbed my purse.  I went to the garage where my mint-colored bike was located.  I got in the vehicle and headed straight down the street to downtown Seoul.

In an instant, I noticed a shadow out of the corner of my eye, so I turned my head. 

That 's nothing. 

After a while, I stopped in front of my favorite grocery store.  I used to go here during the day and not in the middle of the night.

When buying my favorite ice cream, I opened the lid and put the first teaspoon of cold mass into my mouth. 

delicious.  I told myself.

One of the two tables was occupied by some guy with a phone in his hand, so I headed towards an empty seat. 

What the hell do you mean?  You know what?  I do not care.  You are to bring Yuta.  I'll wait.  The redheaded man said one last time on the phone before ending the call.

Looking at him, the first thing I thought was how anxious he looked.  He was pissed off, but also incredibly handsome.  When he turned his head a little, I saw a cut on his eyebrow.  In an instant, we made eye contact that felt like an eternity, even though it lasted less than a second.  Just then, I tripped over my own feet and fell to the cold ground. 

The boy began to laugh, and after a while he got up from his seat and started walking towards me. 

- Everything's okay?  He asked, still laughing, then grabbed my hands and helped me to my feet. 

- No!  I spoke aloud, looking down at the ground where my ice cream lay. 

- Did you cut yourself somewhere?  He stopped laughing and looked at me worriedly.

  - My ice cream.  I pursed my lips. 

The boy looked at me in surprise, then his eyes fell to the ground. 

- Do not worry.  I'll buy you a new one.
