The night sky glinted with the moon's light falling upon the land like a blanket. The windows grew open as the soft cotton curtains danced gently along the summer winds.
Herin smiled as she looked at herself in the mirror, eyeing her dress for the 100th time.

She was dressed in a short, sleeveless white dress that flowed above her knees, elegant lace work was done on the chest area and on the ends of her dress. The back was tied up with long thin strings that tightened her waist, giving a cute yet suggestive look at the same time.
After all, it was Saewoo's choice.

Herin's phone buzzed again, another text from Saewoo.
She glanced at the time, it was past 7:30 and Renjun was on his way.

A knock on her door brought her out of thoughts, "Come in" She replied.
Taewon leaned beside the doorframe and looked at her all dressed up. "Someone's dolled up" He smiled, realizing she's a grown up now. "I just wanted to ask when you'll be back?"

Herin chuckled, "Around 12? I'll try to come early if you want..." She eyed his expressions, searching for any displeasing thoughts. However, he shook his head calmly and gave a reassuring smile. "Saewoo's with you so its okay, just be safe"

She felt her heart be relieved as he said those words, it was all she wanted. She wanted him to be understanding and let her live a little. She could feel freedom coming in as her thoughts were filled with what was yet to come at the party. Letting out a soft hum, she nodded as he left her room.

A loud engine sound blared in the neighborhood, Herin looked out her window and saw the familiar black bike with a very familiar figure. She grew even more excited.

Grabbing her purse, she walked downstairs, noticing how Taewon decided to just stay in his closed room. She sighed and made her way outside.
Renjun flipped up the eye covering of the helmet as his eyes watched her coming towards him, instantly widening in the process. His heart sped without his permission, he tightened his grip on the clutch and gulped when she stopped right next to his bike, giving her usual bright smile.

"I'm really excited, are you?" She dug her nail into her purse fabric, noticing how he's wearing a silver piercing ring on his bottom lip.

Renjun averted his gaze in front, his cheeks had deeply heated up from just the sight of her in that white dress. "Yea, get on"

Herin nodded, hiding her small disappointment within her eyes at his reaction. She didn't know exactly why but she wanted to hear him compliment her, anything of hers'.

She sat behind him and softly grabbed only the hem of his leather jacket. However, Renjun grabbed her hands and gently brought it towards him, circling them around his waist for her. This caused her to be startled as a light blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Hold tight, darling"

Herin smiled, her eyes stuck on the ground as they were unable to lift up due to her diffidence. She already knew Renjun was smirking.
