--------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a few months since they officially started dating. Minji and Yoohyeon have told their closest friends about them and they couldn't be happier for the couple. Since it was getting harder to meet because Minji has been getting a lot of love calls from directors to cast her and Yoohyeon has been getting hired by many brands and models to shoot for them, they had a schedule so they could still meet.

Yoohyeon would sleep over at Minji's, or sometimes Minji would go over to Yoohyeon's, every Saturday night till Sunday afternoon. Minji would ask Gahyeon if she could drop Yoohyeon off before they go to work, in which the manager agrees to because she has never seen Minji this happy ever since she started working with her, or Yoohyeon would wait till Minji gets picked up from her apartment before she goes to work.

Sometimes, they would have late-night dates outside since there are fewer people in the streets. Even if it's just taking a walk, eating whatever they could buy at a convenience store, and sitting on a bench in a nearby park, everything is okay for them, especially for Yoohyeon, who could've chosen to date someone who doesn't have the world watching her every step.

Minji did raise her worries about that one time on one of their dates.

They were walking in the park when suddenly, a group of people were approaching their way. Yoohyeon instinctively pulled Minji to the side where the people won't bump Minji and lowered her cap. The photographer wrapped her arm around Minji's shoulder, pulling her close to her body. She kept whispering that it was okay and she ushered Minji to go to a quieter place so no one would notice her.

Once they were seated, without anyone around them, Minji released a heavy sigh.

"Aren't you getting tired, Yooh? We can only have dates either at home or on nights like this." To her surprise, Yoohyeon smiled and kissed the back of the hand that she was holding.

"I'm not getting tired at all, Minji. Not at all, when it's you. When we started dating, I expected this. And it's okay. As long as I get to spend time with you, even when it's just sleeping on the same bed or having breakfast together the next morning, I'm okay with that. It's not about the place and the time but it's about who I'm with. And everything is okay when I'm with you." Yoohyeon planted a kiss on Minji's cheek, embracing her by her shoulder and pulling her close.

"Besides, I also have work in the morning and who knows what time it ends. I'm not the type to go out a lot, Ji. I'm happy with this." Minji breathed out, feeling the tension in her body be gone, and relaxed in Yoohyeon's arms.

"Thank you."

So now, they're having their date night in Minji's house, making loom bands to do something different. Surprisingly, Yoohyeon is good at catching up on these kinds of things, simply watching videos on Youtube and following quickly, and she would guide Minji on the way. The way Yoohyeon explains makes it easier for Minji to follow than the ones in the videos. They fall in comfortable silence, sometimes asking what color would fit, while soft music plays in the background.

Yoohyeon suddenly crawled towards Minji, smoothly sitting down beside her, grunting a little as she sat down. Minji curiously looked at her girlfriend, giving her a kiss on her cheek because she wanted to see the cheeky smile that Minji found she loved looking at.

"Close your eyes." Yoohyeon said softly. Minji obliged, shutting her eyes with a huge smile on her face. She grabbed Minji's left hand and placed something on her ring finger. Yoohyeon kissed the back of Minji's hand as the older woman opened her eyes. It was a sunflower design, and Minji remembers saying subtly that she liked sunflowers, remembers how Yoohyeon was struggling earlier and why the yellow bands were now gone.
