You smiled at your reflection in the bathroom mirror, reaching up to quickly fluff up your hair. It was the day of your three-month anniversary with Kang Daniel, and you wanted everything to be perfect.

You two had decided to meet up at a cute café downtown, and you'd even bought matching couple phone cases for you two to share.

The story of how you two began dating was definitely interesting, to say the least. Daniel was one of the more popular guys at your high school, and never really looked your way. You'd always thought he was handsome, and had a crush on him, but during a party, suddenly, he started talking to you. You figured it was because your best friend and his had started dating then, but even after they'd broken up, Daniel would meet you after class and greet you in the hallways.

Finally, on white day, he'd asked you out, and you'd been thrilled. Now you were here, three months later, almost before school ended before summer, and still going strong.

You decided to leave the bathroom, heading out. You spotted Daniel, sitting casually at one of the tables—with his friends?

"Oh, Daniel, you're here," you greeted him with a smile, taking a tentative seat across from him, "and all your friends."

Daniel shrugged, "they wanted to tag along."

You nodded, trying to contain the frown that wanted to appear on your lips. Daniel knew how much you cared about anniversaries, and it was weird for him to be acting so flippant.

"Oh," you nodded, "well, I bought these cute couple cases for us!" You reached into your purse excitedly, setting them down on the table, "We can start using them now."

One of Daniel's friends picked one of them up, examining it, "this is kind of ugly, don't you think?" You flinched at his harsh words, looking down at the table. Suddenly, you were reminded of back in your first year of high school, when Daniel's friend group would tease anyone and everyone mercilessly. Daniel had always reassured you that they'd changed, but apparently, they hadn't.

"Give that back," you said weakly, not even wanting to look back up. This date was supposed to be one of the best days of your life, not totally embarrassing. "Daniel, do you want to start using them?"

Daniel looked at you slowly from across the table, a smirk creeping across his lips, "You know, Seongwoo, I think you owe me $100 (usd)." You faltered, looking up at him, totally lost. "(Y/N) and I have been dating for three months. Pay up." You watched, stunned, as Seongwoo slapped a crisp bill into Daniel's outstretched hand, the realization slowly sinking in.

"So this whole thing..." you trailed off, not wanting to even say it out loud.

"It was a bet, sweetie," Seongwoo snickered at your expression, sliding the couple phone case back to you, "you really thought that the Kang Daniel would date someone like you?"
