His cold, blood-orange eyes stared sharply down into hers, faces merely inches apart, the ends of his soft dark hair falling in front of his face, lightly brushing her forehead. He swiftly wraps a long arm around her waist, turning her body over on the bed, so she is flat on her stomach. His long fingers find their selves a way around her throat, as he yanks her head up, causing her to moan from the sudden pain. He leans down and breathes softly into her ear.
"This is the real closeness, got it woman?"

Leena Cho awoke from her dream in shock, yelling at herself.
"Ah! Ow! Wha-"
She gasps and buries her face deep into her pillow.
Gaahh! Alas, Leena Cho, how lonely must you be to have such an exotic dream about such an unreachable man!
Leena sat up and groaned at herself, tucking her messy strands of golden hair behind her ear, and out of her face.
No! This shouldn't happen anymore! I must put myself out there and find real romance...
But I'm a loner because I'm hopeless when it comes to anything close to a relationship, where will I even find a man that wants me...
She sets down her pillow and glances at the time on her phone, when she realizes...
Ah ha! A blind date! I will go on a blind date so that I can experience romance again, and then I won't be lonely....
And then I can stop having these crazy dreams..

Day 1
Leena idly twirled her straw around in her water.
"So... what are your hobbies?" She asks, making a feeble attempt at conversation.
Tap, tap, tap, went his fingers on his phone.
Leenas date, whose name she'd already forgotten, glanced up from his phone.
"Hmm?" He mumbled.
"What did you say".
She sighed and rested her head on her hands, watching his coffee slowly go cold.

Day 2
Why is it so dark in here?
Leenas mind wandered and she tried her best to keep her eyes open while her new date adjusted his glasses and droned on and on...
"...been working on the application of simple algebraic functions in relation to bla bla bla bla..."
She slapped herself mentally.
Smile and nod Leena, smile and nod.

Day 3
Leena had only just sat down across from this scruffy haired man, and barely introduced herself, when he decided to make his move.
"Hmm. You're very pretty. I like you, Leena Cho".
He leaned forward, closing his eyes and puckering his plump, salivating lips.
"Smooch smooch!"
Leena cringed.
Gross-
"Eeghh, I'm sorry".
She pushes the dudes giant head away.

One week later, at the sauna club.
Leena breaths heavily, staring at the sauna ceiling with only a towel wrapped around her pale body. Feeling dizzy and nauseous, obviously dehydrated, she moves her eyes to the girls sitting on the other side of the room.
They whisper and glance in Leena's direction with curiosity.
"Look at her, she is fainting".
Leena ignored them and sat up, brushing her hand through her hair.
A whole week of blind dates... I'm tired of it. I definitely shouldn't have pinned my hope on men...
Suddenly there is a loud bang as the door to the sauna burst open, and a group of tall, intimidating men wearing matching black suits and glasses strode in.
One of the girls stood up and turned to them.
"Hey! Are you blind? This is the females room-"
The men ignored her and strode in, scanning the room.
The girls squealed.
"Ah!"
"Men just burst in-"
Leena then stood up fiercely, clutching her towel at her chest, and stepped towards the men.
"Hey! What are you doing? This is the females room! Please get out!"
One of the men paused and briefly studied her, before muttering something to another.
"Is it her?"
The other one nodded.
Suddenly, all the men stepped aside, clearing the doorway, and bowed towards Leena.
"Miss Cho, Mr Lim is here to see you."
Wha-
They're here for... me?
A tall man with dark hair walked into the room, hands resting in his pockets, his red eyes staring straight at Leena.
Leena gasped and stepped back, shrinking into the wall.
This man, it's.... he's Chase Lim!
