"Thank you for having me tonight," Hyemi politely bowed, stepping out of the red gate.

Mrs Saeri hugged her, a warm hand rubbing her back. "Come again Hyemiaa~"

"I shall," she said, her voice so sincere that Yeonjun felt giddy inside him.

"And if this brat does anything, you can complain to me," Mr. Choi added giving her a small black bag. "This is a small gift we prepared for Mrs. Kang, your mom,"

Yeonjun pouted at his dad's words, his mom rubbed his hand assuring him mockingly. Hyemi held the bag and peeked inside to find a luxury scarf box, wrapped neatly. "You didn't have to, but I'll make sure mom gets this," The thought alone of meeting her mom after ditching that blind date and getting engaged in less than a weekㅡ the horror was dawning on her now.

"We should get a chance to meet your mom also..." Mrs Saeri trailed, adding, "After all, you guys got engaged and are about to become a family,"

Yeonjun stretched his arms and turned around, he wasn't ready to listen to this lecture from his mom. They had told enough lies tonight over the dinner table about how they fell in love etc. "Good night Mom. We have to get back to the hotel for work,"

He locked his fingers with Hyemi and led her to the car. She waved back to the elders in tiny as they soon disappeared down the street.

"Let me drive," she said, pulling off her jacket and giving it to him. Her hand spread out in front to take the keys.

He sighed, instead of giving her the key, he took her hand swiftly, the other free hand he used to pull open the passenger door. "If you refuse I'll carry you and make you sit inside," he said as she opened her mouth and then clamped it shut. She climbed in and closed the door. Yeonjun shook his head with a smile lingering on his face. He got around to the driver's seat, opening to see her sitting there.

"What? Get in," she shrugged pulling the door close. After a beat she rolls down the window, adding, "I do what I say,"

Yeonjun scoffed, amused, his eyes softened as his gaze on her stayed longer. "Did you just leap over from the passenger seat?"

"Will I be accused of stealing this car if I drive away without you?" She asked pressing on the gas, urging him to get in. Yeonjun gave in and got in the passenger seat.

As Yeonjun slammed the door shut, the car lurched forward, the engine roaring in protest. He glanced at her with a mix of disbelief and amusement.

"You're seriously doing this?" he asked, gripping the door handle as she sped down the empty road. He didn't expect her to be accelerating this fast. She rolled down his window too, asking him to connect to a playlist.

"The drive to the hotel is long, turn something on," she said and he obliged. Hyemi found their music taste similar, vibing along to some of them and at times singing at the top of her lungs as Yeonjun matched her tension. He had warmed up to earlier, where he was acting quite awkward and self-conscious after finding out she was the first love.

She glanced at him, his hands out of the car, vibing to the song playing right now, and humming along the lines. The fuzzy feeling in her stomach was now growing familiar and warm. The thought of being his first love, and now—

"We missed the exit!" Yeonjun exclaimed pulling her back from her thoughts. She pressed hard on the break and looked back. It was an empty road, they were in the middle of nowhere, and God knows for how long. Hyemi scratched the back of her neck and turned to him smiling sheepishly. She smiled, playing with her fingers.
