moonbyul stood in front of the mirror, the soft amber light of her room casting a warm glow across her skin. the faint hum of city life echoed outside her window, but all she could focus on was her reflection. her midnight-black hair cascaded in gentle waves, framing her face like a waterfall of silk. she smoothed down the leather jacket she had chosen, the material cool under her fingertips as it hugged her frame perfectly. the jacket gave her just the right amount of edge, balancing out the delicate softness of her features. underneath, she wore a black lacy top that accentuated her silhouette, while her pleated skirt swayed slightly with each movement she made, resting just above her knees.
she meticulously rearranged a stray lock of hair. is this okay?she couldn't help but smile softly at her reflection. there was an excitement bubbling inside her, a kind of anticipation that made her pulse quicken. it wasn't just any night—it was the night. she was going on a date. with riki.
she leaned closer to the mirror, eyes skimming over her reflection, wondering if this was too much. her fingers corrected her eyeliner before leaning back once more. a part of her wanted to look effortlessly perfect, but another part whispered that this was just riki, the same boy who always made her laugh and who, tonight, had somehow made her heart race.
as the realization settled, her chest tightened with a nervous flutter. riki wasn't just anyone. he was the boy who made her laugh with no effort, who always had a way of looking at her that made her feel like she was the only person in the room. but tonight, for the first time, they were stepping out of the comfortable space and into something more. she wasn't sure if it was nerves or excitement—or maybe a little bit of both—but the butterflies in her stomach were impossible to ignore.
meanwhile, riki stood outside her door, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, his breath catching in his throat as he tugged at the collar of his jacket. the nerves were setting in, more intense than he'd expected. he usually had this cool, laid-back vibe, but tonight? tonight was different. he shoved his hands into his pockets, eyes drifting to the floor as he tried to calm the growing excitement buzzing under his skin. what if it's too soon? he wondered. what if she changed her mind?
he took a deep breath, glancing up just as the door creaked open. moonbyul stepped out, and the world seemed to freeze. the way the hallway light illuminated her—soft, glowing, almost ethereal—made riki's breath catch in his throat. her beauty was always undeniable, but tonight, she was something else entirely. her outfit was nothing like her usual style, it was more like she had tried to match his. but one thing's for sure— leather and lace looked stunning on her.
his lips curving into that familiar, boyish grin that sent her heart into overdrive. he looked so handsome, his dark hair tousled just enough to give him that laid-back charm. a black bomber jacket hugged his broad shoulders, and underneath, a simple white tee that somehow made him look even more put-together, and of course, jewelry to complete his look. his eyes flickered with something between admiration and nerves as he took in her appearance, his breath catching slightly.
