My Saviour [A Minsung Fanfiction]

ANXIETY

Listen to "I wouldn't mind" by He is We.

Minho wore the most expensive outfit he brought with him, that Changbin gifted him after coming back from Malaysia. And he never put it on, because to him there hasn't been a single occasion worthy of this outfit, which was seemingly normal and pretty but was from a designer brand, and more than that, it was from his bestfriend. But look at him now, going on a date with a person totally unworthy of this dress. Their plan was something Minho would've never even dreamt of doing, if that wasn't the sole way of doing this.

He felt this rush of adrenaline race  through his body. His social anxiety didn't show up frequently after he met Jisung, which was great, but interacting with a girl, on a date, he was kind of uncomfortable. He just wanted to behave normally with her, not seeming like some creep and chase her away.

Felix and Jisung left earlier, with a car, for which they had persuade Jung Soo from the past one hour. None of them had a driver's license, which was more concerning than both of them not knowing a single road, other than the one their hotel is situated, Toronto. At least their car had a GPS navigator, and Jisung could be trusted with driving. And Minho needed a car too, but he doesn't want to trouble Jung Soo anymore, so he would rather take a taxi.

He reminded himself to wear the cologne before going out, which he did as Felix did a great job by bringing a cologne with him. That's what friends are for. He locked the door, and headed out of the hotel to a café which Felix selected for their date. He sees that it was kinda odd, a rich looking man arriving at their date with a taxi? Okay, whatever, he has a whole lot of excuses for that.

His phone buzzed in his hand, and excitedly opened the chat when he noticed that it was from Jisung.

Minho anxiously typed into his phone, seeing the last text, which caused him some typos.

[10:10am]

He heaved a sigh when he saw the three dots appear and bounce on the screen.

[10:13am]

We're back on track again.

Good to know. Minho put his phone back in his pocket, and regretted his decision of letting Felix go with Jisung and not himself. Heaven knows what more chaos are they going to cause. The taxi dropped him off right on the spot, and he could see and recognise the girl from outside the glasses, she was talking with someone on the phone prior to his arrival. She looked just like the photo Felix showed him she had as her profile picture. But unanticipatedly he felt confident and self-aware, like completely different from the Minho with anxiety.

He checked his pulse, the rate was normal too. He was so amazed that he wanted to jump in happiness. Bye, you little piece of shit, he thought to himself. He opened his front camera, and was assured that there was no way Sarah wouldn't fall for him.

He walked into the café, to the table she was sitting in, and asked with the most polite tone ever,

"Excuse me, do you happen to be Miss Sarah Sutton?"
