Your head. It hurts.
Roll over*
What time is it?
6:12.
OH MY GOSH! ITS 6:12!
You're gonna be late for the surprise party for your best friend! She'll be out of work at 6:40 and you have to beat her before she gets home!
So you started calculating.
It will take 30 minutes for her to get home, so you have to be there before 7:10.
If you start driving now, you'll be there at 6:25. But you still have to clean up, and buy the freaking cake!
There's no time to spare! You got up, called the nearest cake shop and take a shower at the same time. Thank goodness for that waterproof phone case you got.
"Jinnie's Cakes, how may I-" A sweet, calm, voice answered, that of which you rudely cut-off.
"Hello. Yes, I would love to have a vanilla-blossom cake made, ready for pick up before seven." You said, turning the shower on.
"A vanilla-blo- Sorry but it wouldn't be possible to make that cake under t-" The handsome voice tried explaining.
"I don't care. Today's my friends birthday and I need that cake!"
"Look miss, I'm happy that its your friend's b-"
"I will give you a hundred dollars for that cake, just give me vanilla-blossom!"
"Give me a date." The man over the phone said.
"What?"
"I don't want your money. I'm single and I need a date for a my friend's wedding-"
"DEAL!" You shouted. "I'll pick it up around 6:50!"
"OK. Is there anything I should write on it?"
"OF COURSE. Ummmm..." You tried to think of something. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, (friends name) exclamation point. Then write a tiny 'I heart you', on the lower right-hand corner."
"Is that-"
"Bye! I love you." You shouted hurriedly.
Then you realized your mistake. "I love you?" Not even that. You said yes to a date with a man you've never met before!
What if he's a pervert? A maniac? A kidnaper? A rapist? What if he's all of those? All because of a damn cake!
You just blame the situation on your love for your best friend. You loved her so much that you were willing to go on a wedding date with this potential assaulter.
Right after you finished showering, you put on some clothes, fixed your hair, put on some make-up, and you were already driving to the cake shop.
JINNIE'S CAKES
So there it was. It looks inviting from the outside. Friendly and kind. But it certainly didn't take the suspicion out of your system.
"Good evening! Welcome to Jinnie's cake!" The familiar voice rang out as soon as you stepped in the shop.
You looked around, surprised and scared, trying to find the man promised a date with.
There were only three people behind the counter. Two girls, and one tall, stunning man.
Is he the one you scored a date with?
He's so good-looking. Jackpot?
You made your way to the counter and said, "I'm here to pick up the... the... Mango... The vanilla-blossom cake." You were hesitant to say it. But you've manage to do so.
And you could just see how that dreamy guy react when he heard you say that choppy line.
He stood up straight, gave you a quick glance before turning his back from you, smiling, grinning quietly, as he take the waiting box where the cake was safely stored.
He turns around to face you again, trying his best not to show his grin.
"You're cake, ma' lady." He said, placing the cake in front of you.
"How much would-"
"Tomorrow, 8:30. Here." He said confidently.
If it wasn't for the stupid, confidence in his tone, he'd be perfect.
"Ok." You said as you hold onto the box.
"I'm Jin, bye the way." He said right before you turn around.
"I'm (yn)." You said as you walk away from the crime scene.
"See you tomorrow, (yn)." He said the moment before the door closes behind you.
Though there was a great distance and a glass door separating you from him, you can still hear the conversation he suddenly had with his co-workers.
"Who is she?" One asked.
"Didn't you heard her? She's (yn)."
"I know her name. But what is she to you?"
He inhales deeply. "She's my type of cute. And I'm taking her to my friend's wedding tomorrow."
You don't know this, but he was watching you stand uncomfortably against his bakery's door. So he shouted, "Show up, tomorrow ok!"
You walked towards your car, in a hurry, and drove to the surprise birthday party you've set for your best friend.
