Strings & Stitches

Chapter 19

It was early in the morning, the day not even close to the time that she had to meet Siyeon, yet, Bora was still feeling pressured, not liking the fact that she had only a matter of a few hours to decide on her outfit.

Surprisingly, it had been a while since she went on a real date. After Gahyun was diagnosed, she didn't really have any time for romance, fully concentrating on her younger sister's well-being.

Now, the operation was finally done, and Gahyun has been getting better. Bora still wouldn't consider dating anybody if not Siyeon. The surgeon had already managed to shift her mind off from work and many of the troubles heavying her mind, but it still felt overwhelming to know her feelings were reciprocated.

And now, standing in front of her wardrobe, she was in the middle of having a breakdown after she realized most of her clothes were either really baggy and comfortable, or something entirely seductive and not for first dates.

It's not like she wouldn't dare one of the more sexy outfits, the idea of awakening something inside of Siyeon honestly sounded quite enticing. The problem was that nothing was said about what their date would be. If they would just stay at Siyeon's place, maybe something a little more spicy could be fun. But if they would go out, she didn't want to look like a slut by her side.

The decision of what to wear was so difficult that Bora considered calling Siyeon to ask what they would do. But that would also take away the surprise. Why did the surgeon have to be so unpredictable?

And that's when the next idea came into her head. There was always someone who could help her during emergencies.

Bora: EMERGENCY! HELP!!

A reply came after a minute of Bora staring down at the screen.

Handong: What happened this time?..

Bora couldn't help but scoff at the reply. Why did she make it sound like she sent an emergency text basically every day?

Bora: So... You know I told you about Siyeon inviting me on a date? Help me with this.

To the message was an attached image of her wardrobe.

Handong: Uh... depends on if it's a normal date or you're planning to fuck her this time.

The brunette wanted to be offended by the suggestion, but how could she when Handong had called her out for that twice with good reason? It's not like she would say no.

Bora: That's not fully my choice if it happens or not! I don't know what kind of date she planned, that's the problem...

Handong: Not your choice... mhm, right. Well, I have the next two hours free, I could come over.

Then, before Bora had a chance to reply, a message came again.

Handong: God knows what you will wear without my help anyway

Bora: ... Get your ass over here

Only one thing was certain. If she made too many of those types of comments, someone would be kicked out of the apartment.

Handong stayed true to her word and arrived pretty soon after that message, having brought iced americano with extra sugar for Bora, just as she likes. The brunette always found it adorable how Handong memorized all the details, yet acted like she didn't care most of the time.

Normally she would have liked to chat a little or update Handong on Gahyun, even though not a lot had changed, they still kept her asleep to recover, but now she basically accepted the little gift and pulled her friend into the bedroom. One which had transformed into a mess by taking several outfits out of the wardrobe, scattered on the floor.
