Angst ahead. Beware.

"I just realized, we haven't fought at all today," she said during dinner that night, her hand under her chin.

"Maybe it's a sign," he suggested meaningfully.

"Of what?"

"That we might work out."

".......maybe."

She cleared away the dishes and made to the sink.

"My friend has a birthday party tomorrow. Wanna come with me?"

She turned to him.

"What kind of party?"

"In some sort of an expensive villa."

"Oh."

"Will you come? It'll be fun......"

He had accompanied her to see Son Ye Jin Eonnie and the baby again after work that day, so maybe it's time for her to see his friends too.

"......ok. Let's go."

"Really???" he asked again, half disbelieving.

"Ne. Why not, right?"

"Will you go my way?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"I always go to a party after buying the dress for the girl. And the shoes, and the jewels."

"I have party dresses too, thank you very much!"

"But - I always do that! It's my habit!"

"Well, not this time. Not with me."

He looked upset.

"Um......you can pick the dress from my wardrobe if you want it so much."

"Jjinjja?"

"Yes."

So after washing the dishes, she laid all her seven clubbing dresses on the bed. Yellow, red, black, green, silver, gold, and blue. All sexy and tempting, all as good as branded dresses.

"I hate thinking everyone else have seen you in these except me."

"What do you want, seeing me wearing these one by one and parading around so you can see?"

His face brightened as he nodded.

"In your dreams."

"Yah!!!"

"Well......if you're around long enough, you'll see me in all of these eventually."

He caught the meaning behind it and instantly answered, "Sure. Won't miss it."

She smiled without facing him, hiding her happiness in hearing that simple answer from him.

"So? Which one do you like?"

"Hem.......this blue one"

"This one?"

"Yeah"

"Ok. I'll wear it tomorrow night."

"I have a request."

"What?"

"Don't clip your hair. Let it down."

Don't blush, don't blush, don't blush!

"Will do."

"Nice having a deal with you, Kim Go Eun-ssi"
