"Mom! dad!"
"Hey honey, How's korea?"
"It's great, everything is awesome my job is good too!"
"That good to hear dear remember to take care of yourself and bring home a good man you are not getting any younger!"
"mommmm i know i know i gotta go now love you!"
"love you too honey bye"

I just go off the phone with my Mom and dad i really missed them they always makes me feel like a little girl. I was on the way to work when i received a text massage!

Bambi🦌 :

Hey RiRi, are you free later wanna go on a date with me?

The joshua hong is asking me out on a date? I'm flattered.

Is that a yes? 

i guess so?

Come on i'll buy you chicken nuggets!

wow that actually quite convincing. Fine see ya!

I'll pick you up at 3 see you arisa ;)

Riri? RIRI? a nickname for me? damn i started feeling butterflies in my stomach when he started calling me that. I swear his text never fail to make me smile like an idiot. "who is making our areum smile like that" said hoshi walking into my office. "your member of course"
"yuck get a room yall" hoshi said looking fake disgusted. "Don't ever let me catch you in love sooyoung" i glared at him "Just joking sooo how is our love birds doing?"
"i guess not bad we have another date later and he seems like a really good guy i think i'm ready to open up to him later."
"That's good i pretty sure he feels the same way too afterall you are his first girl he is chasing"
"Hold up, did i heard that right THE Joshua hong has never had a girlfriend?" i said looking shocked
"well yeah since we have always been busy and pledis did not really let us date last time but Hybe is cool i guess."
"That low key unbelievable" he has been quite smooth all these while i can't believe he had never had a girlfriend.

"3pm" it's time to go i got off work and headed to the taxi stand to wait for Shua to pick me up. He brought me to a nice restaurant with great steak paired with a great glass of red wine. After that we decided to talk a walk along the streets of Korea, "So riri i have been waiting for quite some time to ask you this question and i need to know how you feel if not i'll go crazy"
"How do you feel about me because I definitely like you and I'm very serious about you and well US."
He emphasised the Us while confessing to me which made me happy, "I feel the same too about you josh but i would like to take it slow so we can start dating first? and you can continue to court me Mr gentlemen." i said smiling at him while he just smiled back.
As we were walking hand in hand down the park he suddenly questioned me, "if you are not comfortable sharing with me itsokay but can i know what happen to you in the past?" he asked curiously
"Well in my second year of university, i dated this guy that basically seem perfect at first he was nice, sweet and made me feel like the most special girl in the world but one day i caught him having sex with this girl that he told me he would never touch because she's ugly blah blah blah. Oh i was so stupid to believe that someone like that could be real."
"It's not your fault Arisa you wanted to see the good in him and someone like him don't deserve you and you definitely deserve better someone way better than him."

"Someone better hmm like you?" i said teasing him
"Yes, in fact i'll make sure you will never ever think about that douchebag again because i can make you forget him." As he said that i looked at him in the eyes and he seem really serious about what he said. To my surprise, he cupped my face making me look at his beautiful face and said "Can i kiss you?" i snickered at his cuteness "I don't know can you?" i tease him again making him roll his eyes playfully "yes you can mr gentleman" and the moment i said that he slammed his lips on to mine making it the most passionate kiss ever. Soon we pulled apart smiling at each other like two idiots in love.

The next morning
After that amazing night with Joshua, i woke up to my phone filled with text massages from my friends.

The photos show Joshua and Arisa Kim together in Cheongdam in March 2023. Photos from Dispatch revealed the two getting out of the same car together and sharing an embrace.

The two both worked under Hybe, with Arisa joining Hybe earlier this year, as seventeen social media manager after leaving her modelling career behind her. Despite Joshua having many comebacks and being super busy, sources say their love is still growing strong.

Well at least they did not say anything bad about us? i quickly drop Tae a call reassuring him that i am fine and confirm that me and Joshua just started dating yesterday.
I got up and got ready because now i have a bomb to fixed at Hybe, the thing i'm worried about the most is the fans and how they would react. Will they support us or will they hate on us?
