I looked in the mirror to check my reflection, I stared at myself for awhile. The upper half of my dress is visible through the mirror and I have to admit, I was loving this outfit. The floral pink dress was cute and totally my style. But it was for a date with another man. I sighed lightly as my mother fixed my hair while I put some make up on.

"I'm so happy for you!" my mother squealed as I laughed nervously as she continued to express her excitement, "I'm sure he's a great person, his parents are always talking about how great he is. Of course, my daughter's better."

I smiled as I gave my mother a quick glance, knowing she loves me very much, it felt right to follow what she wanted for me. She finished fixing my hair and I stood up to give her a quick yet warm hug.

"Have fun!" she says as she pats me lightly on my bare back. I leave my room and slip on the new pair of shoes Jinhwa gave me. I waved goodbye to my mom and left the house.

I sighed again as I walked to the meeting place, by the time I reached the restaurant my feet were already hurting. This is what happens if you want to save money and don't pay for bus fee. I walked in and looked around for a familiar face. It took me a while to find him but I spotted him sitting at a table for two, on his phone.

I walked over and bowed to be polite as I introduced myself but all he did was nod and then he returned to his phone, he didn't even say hi, introduce himself or even gesture me to sit down. How rude.

But I ignored the thought as I sat down, picking up the menu. It was an expensive meal and it was quite obvious that he was well off. He placed his phone aside and looked at the menu too before raising his hand to call the waitress over.

"Spagatti please." he said to the waitress as she wrote down his order. And then...

Guess what.

He went back to his phone.

He didn't even ask what I wanted to eat or even nod to me, telling me it's my turn to order.  A bit irritated, I don't even remember I have to order until the waitress spoke.

"And you miss?"

"Same." I smiled nicely to her and passed the menu back to her as she walked away. I sat there awkwardly as he continued looking on his phone. I coughed lightly, "Well, it's nice to meet you."

"You too." he grumbled sarcastically, his fingers still busily tapping at his phone.

I sighed as I looked around for a really long time before the food finally came. We ate in silence, it was so quiet that I could hear conversations around us. I finished first and just sat there watching him eat.

"Isn't it rude to watch people eat?" he asked all of a sudden.

"Jwesonghaemnida." I bowed my head a little. I almost finish my sentence with, "But I don't have anything else to do? You're not talking to me?" but I stopped myself, I couldn't let my attitude get the best of me.

He finished eating and stated that we had to decide who was to pay for the meal. He looked at me for maybe the second time today and said, "You're paying."

"Jaegayo(Me)?" I said as I pointed at myself, a bit flustered at his straightforward actions.

"You're paying." he says sternly. I cough lightly, "Okay, but could you say in nicer, please?"

He sighed and rolled his eyes, "You're paying." I raised my eyebrows as he opened his mouth to finish his sentence, "Please."

"Better."

"Well for some low life child want to sass me around." he grumbled as I reached for my wallet. My eyes looked up right at him as I let out a gasp so loud that there was no way he wouldn't have heard it

I stood up from my chair so quickly that it caused a commotion in the restaurant. I pulled out 30000 won and slammed it on the table, right in front of him.

"You pay." I made an angry face and then a nice sweet one, "Please." and then I rolled my eyes before storming out. I couldn't believe his guts. He could've kept that to himself, why did he have to spit it out?

Who cares if they want me to go on a date with him until dinner, forget about it, that ridiculous punk.

I unlocked my phone and speed dial my boyfriend, "Jinhwa, get me out of here."

"About time, you survived for about an hour." he chuckled but I wasn't in the mood to joke around.

"Just get me out of here."

"Yes, maam." he said and then hung up as I stood outside on the sidewalk waiting.

Then a car drove by and parked right in front of me, I smiled and opened the door to the shotgun, "What took you so long?" I joked.

He pouted as I laughed, "I'm just joking. Thank you."

"No problem." he smiled and then his face turned serious, "What happened?"

"Well I thought he wouldn't be so bad but I was wrong." I sighed, "He didn't even say hi to me, he was on his phone most of the time, he forced me to pay, he didn't even say please pay for us or something like that."

Jinhwa nodded, showing he understands, as I continue talking super quickly, "It was just..."

"Horrible." he finished the sentence for me as I smiled.

"Yeah , horrible."

"What do you want to do now?" he asked.

"Um, I don't want to get in trouble but I don't want to go back to hanging out with him soo..."

"Let's follow him and just stalk him, see if he really is that rude." Jinhwa smirked, "If he really is I'll give him a big fat punch."

I laughed lightly, "No let's not, that makes us rude. Besides, I'm sure he doesn't want to marry me and he's having a hard time dealing with the situation."

"Geundae you are going through a hard time too, but you continue putting up a smile."

"That's because I have you." I smile then we cringe to the cheesiness.

"That was really cheesy, I told you, you are better at these cheesy love comments."

"Well, you're cheesy in any way. Love or hate, good or bad." 

"Is there even cheesiness in bad?" he asks as I shrugged, "I don't know, clique maybe?"

"Well, the escape plan was quick today."

"You took too long with him." he complained.

"Do you think I wanted too?" I lifted an eyebrow, "I did it for my mother so don't be a jelly."

"I'm not being jelly." he shot back.

"Yeah you are, don't deny the truth. It's because you love me very much isn't it?" I ask, this little trick always works. [play TRACK 3]

"Yes, I love you very much, and I was jealous because I want you to myself." he says it like a robot and I burst into laughter, "It still works, after so many times."

"Yah! Don't laugh at me!" he pouted, "Yeonnie, you meanie."

"I am not a meanie." I smiled, "I'm an angel."

"And you are my angel." he cooed as I started laughing again.
