you and me to the end of time

Chapter 9: Spending a day together part 3

Maria POV 

in the car we talk again about small details in their concert, the clothes they wore and the songs they performed and stuff like that to lighten the mood again, even after talking about all that stuff that would be hard on anyone i feel at peace with having told him everything, he is a great listener and did not interrupt me. which i appreciated. but i think he did not know that at certain points he squeezed my hand a little hard while holding onto it, while he curled his other hand in a fist. a natural reaction to someone saying all the stuff i have been through. arriving at our next destination we both feel better and as I look out the window I see us arriving at a restaurant that looks really Fancy "Are we eating here? Should have put something fancier on then" I say as I look down on my outfit. "The outfit is beautiful, just like you, so no need to worry about it." He says with a smile as he begins to head out of the car and almost runs to my side of the car before I get to walk out, then opens the door for me and holds it for me, making me giggle with his cute gesture as he bow like a Prince to me. "Such a gentleman" I say covering my mouth with my hand, feeling my cheeks begin to turn red as this wonderful man smiles his brightest for me and me only as I walk past him out of the car, then turn around and offered him my hand again, holding he will take it again, and he does almost immediately after closing the door behind me, with a little giggle.  

We enter the restaurant and get seated away from everyone so he won't get noticed. After ordering I then ask hobi "will you be ok for fire minutes while I quickly go and freshen up?" Hoping he doesn't say no. "Of course, go ahead" he says with a smile then fishes out his phone to check if someone has Called him. " I will hurry. "I promise you." I then quickly hurry off to the bathroom, with my little bag with makeup in it. Hurry Maria, I don't want him to think something is wrong. But for me it is beginning to feel more like a date now and I can't stand sitting here without at least a little makeup so I will look my best for him. I fix my hair again from the ponytail and puff it up so It looks a bit more voluminous. Quickly heading out again so the drinks we ordered wouldn't arrive before me.   

Getting back to the table, Hobi looks up at me with a smile then notices that something is different. "Wow you look amazing" he says when he looks me up and down, then gestures for me to sit again. I do that and after just around a minute our drinks arrive. " hobi isn't there alcohol in this, is it a good idea that you drink this?" I ask him as I point to the drinks before he takes a sip. " don't worry, I have everything planned, remember? Someone is coming to drive us to our last destination after this. I wanted the full experience, but also wanted more privacy earlier, so that's why I drove myself. I understand why you would ask though, I wouldn't get into a car with someone who has been drinking if they ate behind the wheel." He finishes with a laugh. We take a sip then we begin to talk again, this time the subject surrounds him a bit more. "So hobi. What are some hobbies of yours that you are interested in these days?" I ask him as I put my head in my hand looking at him with big eyes, waiting for his answer. " I don't really have any hobbies outside of my job. As an idol I do my hobby as a living and that is dancing. It is my passion. No matter what kind of dance it is, I want to do it." He says as he looks into my eyes. "What about you?" He says, gesturing for me to talk now.  " uhh. I guess my hobby is just listening to music. You guys the most. I don't really have anything else actually." I say then rub the back of my head. Hoping it won't scare him away. " That's sweet. And you know what, you don't have to have anything more if that is what makes you happy. It makes me happy knowing that we are at the top there." He says with a smile still planted on his face. " Well, one thing I didn't say earlier is that, with everything I went through. You guys are the reason I kept fighting, you saved me and not to make it sad again but without you I couldn't have done it." I say then look down. "Thank you so much for fighting through this. You have no idea what all of that means, not just for me but for all of us. And hey you didn't make it sad. You were just honest about it." he says as he reaches his hand over and places it on my arm that is laying on the table. "Thank you, Hobi." I say, as our food finally arrives and we begin to dig in. After swallowing his first bit he then asks me " Not to pry or anything but what are you gonna do when you get home? I don't mean later today. But when you leave korea? Do you have work? School? "Anything?" No, I don't have anything. The only thing dragging me back is my mom." I say to him. He looks at me for a while then lets it go. We just continue to eat our food and laugh.
