What I think about life.

Holly's boyfriend

Holly slurp her kimchi stew and eat a mouthful more rice. Ahjumma's food is still the best Korean food around. She is having a large dinner meal with her boyfriend consisting of rice, kimchi stew, seafood pancake and beef japchae. There are a plenty of side dishes on the table and all of which she doesn't mind to eat. Today's dinner is free because her boyfriend's mother paid for them. To be more precise, she made for them.

Yes. The owner is her boyfriend's mother and her boyfriend is the owner's son who she has an eye on since the first time she ate at the restaurant. It started when one day she went to the restaurant to eat her dinner alone. She was a little bit tired after spending her Saturday with her school work, however, she was starving and had been craving for a good Korean food. Something she hadn't enjoy in a long time due to her busy schedule.

She had a dinner of beef stew, rice and gimbap alone. The sight of her eating her food without the worry on this world might make her look sad or a little crazy. She ate her food in less than 10 minutes despite the fact that the beef stew is really hot and spicy. She didn't even care about the presence of the owner's son or how he might think of her.

After a brief moment of silence, she ordered another meal of two servings of Korean bbq. This time the owner's son took her order. He wore a nice black shirt and a pair of jeans. He took her order nonchalantly and asked whether she needs any water. She nodded and he poured the water to the brim again and leave the table. She found this habit of his is peculiar but decided to just shake it off.

When the guy came in with the Korean bbq sets, the kitchen is already closed. When he was about to leave the table, her gut told her to say something to the guy - this is the moment to make a conversation with him despite her mouth was salivating at the sight of the bbq set. She casually said hi and he replied with a smile. Before her brain wanted to tell her to stop, she asked him if he want to have the meal with her. They had a great first dinner together - talking and laughing. Like they knew each other from the very beginning.

Brian give her a box of present revealing a beautiful white gold necklace and earrings set encrusted with stunning jade stones. It is her birthday. She immediately put it on and it matches perfectly with her outfit. He tells her that jade suits her perfectly. It seems like the more time she spend with him, the more butterflies she has in her stomach - not the other way around. He is not your-typical-romantic guy, somehow he is. The first date they had after they dinner had together, he chose to go to the burgertown for their first date.

For her birthday dinner tonight, he bring her to a popular Italian restaurant that she always wanted to go. She always wanted to come here. The restaurant is quiet fancy and she likes the atmosphere of the place. They sit at a table in the corner of the restaurant with a view of the beautiful river. They have a nice four course meal that evening. They end their night with a walk in the beautiful riverside.

Happy 25th birthday to her.
