you notice that you're getting a call on your phone as you follow the directions on your screen. you answer the call and bring your phone up to your ear.
"hello?"
"hey, almost here?" yunho asks you.
"yea, i'm just a block away, i think," you reply, "hang on."
you take your phone away from your ear and put the call on speakerphone. you go to the navigation app on your phone and continue to follow the directions.
"oh, i'm three blocks away," you mention.
"okay, i'll just stay on the phone in case you get lost. it's a little confusing," yunho says to you.
"how did you hear about this place again? from your coworkers?" you ask.
"yea, one of the senior members on my team mentioned this place," he answers. "she said that this is one of the best places to go in the winter," he adds.
"all of the reviews and photos look good. i'm excited," you say with a smile. you turn around a corner and look at the map, but you become confused. "huh?" you stop walking and move to the side so you aren't in the way for other people who are walking.
"something wrong?" yunho asks you.
"the map says i should be passing a clothing store, but i don't see one," you say and look around at the different stores around you.
"maybe the map is wrong?" yunho says. "just keep walking. you should be nearby."
"okay," you reply and start walking again. "oh gosh, i didn't tell you, but i slipped so much on my way here. the ice still hasn't melted yet by my apartment building."
"they didn't salt it yet? that's really dangerous."
"they probably just missed it, but hopefully they realized it by now since the streets have cleared up a bit," you say. "you should've seen me earlier. i was taking so many baby steps," you recall. you look at the stores that you are passing by, "i'm almost there, i think," you say to him.
"i'll step outside," yunho says.
you look down the street and see someone step out of a store.
"yunho!" you call out to him and end the call.
yunho looks in your direction and smiles as he watches you walk. you hurry your pace since you're excited to see him.
"i'm so happy to—ah!" you suddenly slip in front of him, but yunho catches you before you can face plant into the ground.
"you okay?" he immediately asks and helps you stand up straight.
you nod, "yea. thanks. i didn't think it'd be icy over here either."
"guess they missed a few spots over here too," he says and holds you hand. "come on, let's go in before we go on a slip 'n slide instead of our dinner date," he says and opens the door to the restaurant.
"a slip 'n slide is fun though," you state as both of you walk into the restaurant.
"it is but not in the freezing cold and when my girl is prone to slipping," he says and kisses your head.
