V. The First Date

Author POV

The days following their walk by the lake were filled with anticipation and excitement for both Heeseung and Ari. They found themselves thinking about each other constantly, replaying their conversations in their minds and wondering what the future held. It wasn't long before Heeseung decided to take the next step.

One sunny afternoon, Heeseung found himself standing outside the cafe, nervously fidgeting with his phone. He had texted Ari earlier, asking if she could meet him there. Now, as he waited for her to arrive, he felt a mixture of excitement and nerves. When he saw Ari approaching, her camera slung over her shoulder, he felt his heart skip a beat.

As I walked towards the cafe, my heart was racing with anticipation. Heeseung had asked me to meet him here, and I couldn't help but feel excited about what he had planned. When I saw him standing outside, looking a bit nervous but incredibly handsome, my heart skipped a beat.

"Hey, Heeseung," I greeted him, smiling warmly.

"Hey, Ari," he replied, his smile lighting up his face. "Thanks for meeting me."

"Of course," I said. "What's up?"

Heeseung took a deep breath, his eyes meeting mine with a mix of determination and excitement. "I wanted to ask you something," he began. "Would you like to go out on a proper date with me? Dinner, maybe?"

I felt a rush of warmth and happiness at his words. "I'd love to," I replied, unable to hide my excitement.

"Great," Heeseung said, looking relieved and thrilled. "How about tonight? There's this quaint little restaurant I've heard about. It's supposed to be really nice."

"Tonight sounds perfect," I said. "I'm looking forward to it."

We made plans for the evening, and as I walked away, I felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. Our first date—it felt like a significant step, and I couldn't wait to see where it would lead.

The restaurant Heeseung had chosen was indeed quaint and charming, nestled in a quiet corner of the town. It was known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious food, making it the perfect setting for a first date. As the evening approached, both Heeseung and Ari felt a mix of excitement and nerves.

Heeseung arrived first, wanting to make sure everything was perfect. He had dressed up for the occasion, wearing a crisp shirt and dark jeans. He glanced around the restaurant, taking in the warm, inviting ambiance and the soft lighting. He wanted everything to be just right for their first official date.

A few minutes later, Ari walked in, and Heeseung felt his breath catch in his throat. She looked stunning, her hair falling in soft waves around her shoulders and a smile lighting up her face. She wore a simple yet elegant dress that accentuated her natural beauty.

"Hey, you look amazing," Heeseung said, his eyes shining with admiration.

"Thank you," I replied, feeling a blush rise to my cheeks. "You look great too."

Heeseung smiled, and we made our way to the table he had reserved. The restaurant was cozy and intimate, with soft music playing in the background and candlelight casting a warm glow over everything. It was the perfect setting for our first date.
