- You -

I hung up and walked downstairs. "I need a favor." MinLee said once I hopped off of the last step. "...So..." I trailed, waiting for her to go on.

"Well, of course I am going to tell you! My best friend's son is a loser. He needs a date to prom but nobody else will go with him." she explained. "What's in it for me?" I asked. "I will pay you $1,000. You can transfer it into won." she said. My widened.

Then I thought about Luhan.  He would be okay with this, right? I mean, it's only for money.

"I'll do it." I replied simply "Good. After the dance, I will give you your money." she said and left.

It can't be that bad. It's only one night. "What's his name anyway?" I yelled as she was leaving. "Kwon Ji-Yong." she replied agitatedly and walked away. I walked into eomma's room. "Can I go shopping?" I asked her, getting straight to the point. "Sure. This is all I was able to get." she said, handing you 1,000 pesos.

"Thanks. I have some, too." I told her as she nodded. I went to the nearest mall, and was in awe of the amount of stores and restaurants. 

I walked into the clothing section and looked for a dress. I found a turquoise dress with a wrap and belt. Too weird. I looked at "little black dress" with jewels at the top. Too formal.

Finally, I found a beautiful lavender one with small diamonds covering the top edge. It was long, but not too long. I reached for it, but so did somebody else.

It was a dude!

"May I ask what you are going to do with this dress?" I asked, distraught for a moment. "I am getting it for my prom date as a surprise. I haven't met her yet, but my mom's best friend told me her size. And this just happens to be it." he explained. Wait.

Prom date.

Total stranger.

Mom's best friend.

"Kwon Ji-Yong?" I asked.  "How do you know my name?" he asked curiously. "I'm your prom date." I replied. "Wait, so you're (Y/N)?" he asked. I nodded.

He was pretty cute. No! Stop it!

"Wow, what a coincidence." he said. "I'll buy the dress for you." he added. "Really? But I have to pay you back somehow." I told him. "How about going on a date with me? I want to get to know you." he said.

I thought about this for a moment. "Sure, why not?" I said, taking the chance. He grabbed the dress and paid for it. "I guess it's not a surprise anymore." he laughed and handed it to me. "Thanks." I replied.

We exchanged numbers and parted ways. When I went home, your phone buzzed

Message From: Luhan, To: (Y/N)

Hey :)

Message From: (Y/N) To: Luhan

Hi :)

Message From: Luhan To: (Y/N)

What's up?

Suddenly, I recieved a text message from Ji-Yong.

Message From: Kwon Ji-Yong To: (Y/N)

Can you meet me at the cafe down the street from the mall?

Message From: (Y/N) To: Kwon Ji-Yong

Sure. Be there in 10.

Message From: (Y/N), To: Luhan

Nothing much. Hey, I gotta go.

You walked to the cafe and looked for Kwon Ji-Yong. He waved from the table to the far left. I waved back and walked over to him. "Hey." we said in unison.  "So...I really wanna know more about you. You seem really....interesting." he explained. "Well, I love blue. I hate wearing dresses, heels, and makeup. I am 18 years old and I am from Seoul." I said. "Your turn." I added.

"Oh. Well, as you know, my real name is Kwon Ji-Yong. But you can call me GD. I am from Seoul and I am 19 years old. I moved to the Philippines with my mom because she couldn't stand living in the same place where my dad lived. He died 7 years ago." he said and inhaled for air.

"Wow, we are somewhat similar. I moved to the Philippines because my mom got a job with a big company. She lost her job in Seoul so I had to work at a coffee shop. My dad died 8 years ago." I replied.

"I guess we are." he laughed.

He was so sweet, but I have Luhan! I couldn't possibly do this to him. I promised myself that I wouldn't fall for anybody else.

But looking at my current situation, I'm afraid that I might break my own promise.
