"I need you like a heart needs a beat."
After what happened in the morning, Sanha offered me to go on breakfast with him. But I insisted on having it at the bookstore since there could be some customers coming early. And the fight was still going on.
"Come on, dear! It will be like a date. Don't you want it?" He asked with puppy eyes. I was trying my best not to let down my guard. "But, does it matter? I mean we can do it here too. What's the difference?" I asked insistently. "Ahh, you don't understand. It will be our first date. It has to be somewhere special..." He sat down at the table. "Isn't this place special for you? I think it's the most romantic place on earth." I said admiringly. Upon this, he stood up and gently held my hands. "Indeed, every place I am with you is romantic for me. But I don't want your books to witness our love. Because I'm sure that they will envy us..." He said. Was he real? I was literally screaming inside. "I feel so lucky to have a man like you. You said you didn't know how to make me happy. But it's not something you need to learn. Your heart already knows it... Okay, you convinced me. Where do you wanna go?" I asked. And he thought for a moment. "To my house." He smirked. "Yah, Yoon Sanha! Aren't we going too fast? You're saying you're taking me to your place on our first date?!?!? You're unbelievable." I was surprised.
And then he came closer and looked into my eyes deeply. "I think we're even late." And he winked !?!?!?!?! Goshhh! He was really something! I was angry, shy, and surprised. But just as I was gonna say something, he started laughing. "Somin, you need to see your tomato face right now. You're so cute, honey. That's not what I meant of course. Plus, you were there the whole night. You know you can fully trust me, right? So don't grumble. I wanna prepare breakfast for you." He said defensively. "Wait really? Will you prepare breakfast for me? On your own?" I was surprised again. And he only nodded. "Okay then. I'm coming. But there are some works I need to do here-" He instantly picked me up before I even finished my sentence. "Sanha! What are you do-" "No work today, Little Miss. We are going on a date." He said going out and locking the door. "Sanha? Are you out of your mind? People are looking at us. Let me go please?" I was small punching him. "No! I know you'll come back if I let go of you. We're going." He said in a determined way. "But-" "No buts!" He cut me short. I was hiding my face till we went to his car. It was way too embarrassing. He opened the car door and made me sit inside. I was literally fuming. "Don't you even think of escaping!" He closed the door and went to sit in the driver's seat. "Buckle up, Somin!" He said, and I rolled my eyes. He sighed. "Why are you so stubborn, Princess?" He said coming closer to me. Our faces were too close. I wasn't sure whether I could breathe or not. I didn't understand what he was doing. I thought he was gonna kiss me but then he gave a small kiss on my nose. "All done. We can go now." He said. "Wait, what- what did you-" And then I noticed that he buckled me up. Oh God... I looked out of the window to hide my reddening face. But then I felt a hand gripping mine. "Red suits you a lot." He chuckled and started the car. I swear- he would pay for this.
When we reached his home, I noticed that I left everything there. Because we got out of the house so fastly, without thinking plausibly. But now knowing that Hope was safe made me relieved. "You stay here, I'll go to the kitchen, hm?" He asked. I nodded and he went smiling. While he was busy with kitchen stuff, I wandered his house. It was big and nice. I loved his style so much. Every room was giving Sanha vibes. I saw his childhood pictures. And I guess I fell for him much more. But I didn't know I would fall for him more than that. Because I heard someone singing and as I approached, the voice was getting more familiar and beautiful. Kitchen! Yes! It was Sanha singing. I was hearing him singing for the first time. And I think it was the most beautiful voice I'd ever heard.
I stood still when I saw him, cooking some crepes and singing at the same time. He even wore an apron. There was no way I could survive this.
"If I'll be with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh, I'll be with you~"
