"Um, do I look okay?" Soomin asked nervously as she gave her best friend an outfit check.

"You look hot as fuck, babe." Jieum said as she watched the masterpiece she had created by her godly makeup skills.

"I agree. Watch that guy turn into a simp for you." Minho, who was on FaceTime with them said.

With a deep breath, Soomin eyed her bold black dress that Jieum had picked out for her in the mirror.

"Jieum... This is a really pretty dress but don't you think it's too much for a first date?" Soomin asked uncertainly.

"It's never too much for a date, sweetie. Not when you're going on a night out." Jieum said, rolling her eyes. "Plus my friend said the guy is very sweet and rich. Go catch that guy with your charms!"

"You make me sound like a gold digger." Soomin mumbled.

"Have some fun, Soomin. Don't think about it too much." Minho's voice came from the laptop.

"Alright." She said, turning to leave.

"Have fun babes!" Jieum waved as Soomin began putting on her heels.

"Okay Soomin. Let's get it." She said, giving herself a little pep talk as she exited her apartment.

And with that, her date began.

She entered the restaurant, her purse tightly clutched in her hands. To say that she was nervous would be an understatement.

With a deep breath, she moved inside to look for her date. She had seen his face, so she could recognise him without any troubles.

Soon enough, a guy began waving in her direction, and she relaxed when she saw the familiar face.

"Park Soomin right? It's a pleasure to finally meet you." He said, standing up to pull out the chair for her as she approached the table. "You look stunning, by the way."

"The please is all mine, Mr Kim Haneul. And you don't look too bad yourselves." Said Soomin, passing him a smile.

"Oh please, just Haneul is fine." Her date said, waving his arm in a dismissive manner.

"I've ordered some red wine. I hope you're okay with that." He informed.

Soomin nodded, mentally ticking the boxes in her head.

So far, he was a gentleman.

"So, tell me about you. I heard you've opened a new business. Very impressive, I must say." Haneul said, leaning forward.

"Well, I used to work as a designer at Burberry before this." Soomin began.

"Burberry as in, the internationally famous luxury brand?" Asked Haneul, looking amused.
