Hwa's story broke me. It took everything for me not to cry and she gave a summarized version! How could someone hurt a girl like Hwa??

We sat in the coffee shop, I wasn't hungry, I just didn't want her to- leave. I wanted to be in her company for a little while more.

"One Americano with an extra espresso shot and-" she looked at me.

"Oh- I'll have an iced vanilla latte please" The waiter nodded and left us.

"Hungry and you're having a latte?" Hwa raised her eyebrow.

"Yeah, how shitty would it look if I eat and you sit there having coffee... what if you try stealing my food! Like you stole my pizza" I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"I did NOT steal your pizza!!" She kicked me under the table.

"Excuse me" she called a waiter, "can we get a slice of your double chocolate cake and two forks please" She smiled at the waiter who had a faint blush on his cheeks.

Stop smiling at my girl!
She's not your girl dumbass

"What's with your face?" She questioned, I didn't realize I was making a face.

"Nothing" The cake got to our table with our coffees.

Hwa watched in horror as I added four sugars to my iced latte.

"That's gross" She sipped her black coffee.

"No, THAT-" I pointed to her coffee, "is gross"

She rolled her eyes.

"I'm all for coffee with no sugar but with extra espresso? At this time of night? God, you'll be bouncing off the walls"

She laughed.

"Insomnia baby, I don't get much sleep anyway"

She called me baby...
It was a friendly baby, get your head on straight.

"So... lawyer-nim... I have a question" She took a bite of the cake.

"If I get arrested for arson... how many years to I spend in jail" she asked as if it was a normal question.

"10-20 years? Why planning on setting something on fire?"

"Pretty sure I already did that-" she looked at me, "I set your heart ablaze didn't I?" She asked with a straight face.

Damn, that was smooth.

"Ohhhhh you're good!" I laughed making her laugh.

"What can I say... I'm good at romancing people" She flicked her hair.

Once we finished our coffees and fought over the last bite of cake, we left.

"I'll walk you home" I took her bag.

"What? Scared to leave me alone?" She put her hair into a bun.

"After your arson question? Yes." I laughed.

We got to her apartment, "Wanna come in?"

Don't do it.

"Sure" We walked into the building.

"I'm on the fourth floor... you ready to walk?" She tightened her lips.

"I'll walk, but you don't have to" I squatted in front of her.

"Yay! My own personal escalator" she hopped onto my back.

"Okay I thought four floors would be a lot... that was nothing."
