"There you are! Where have you been?!" Yeonmi yelled as she pretty much tackled you. She sounded really worried, but then again she is the dramatic one. Meanwhile, Minah is standing there smiling with her arms crossed, of course she isn't worried, she's the level headed one. "I'm sorry guys, I overslept after dance practice" you said with a nervous laugh. You looked out the window while Yeonmi was lecturing you about your sleep schedule. You saw the man walking towards the restaurant, it felt like he was looking right at you. It was a little intimidating, but at the same time you wondered why he would look at you. "Should we go sit down?" you asked your friends and walked over to a table. You sat in the seat facing the door to see if he would walk in, and he did, but he sat down on the other side of the restaurant "Maybe it's just a coincidence..." you thought to yourself. "Hey! Are you listening?!" You heard Yeonmi yell again. "Ah, yes s-sorry.." you said with another nervous laugh. "So...what took you so long, we called half an hour ago. It only takes 20 minutes to walk here, and you're super sweaty so I presume you ran?" Minah tilted her head to the side and smiled. "About that...I was running, but I ran into a man.." you said while twiddling your thumbs. Yeonmi got loud again "You finally met someone?! Is he cute?! Tall? What's his name?!" she questioned you. "Yeonmi would you quiet down..." people were staring and he was looking in your direction, you started blushing and mumbled "You got it all wrong...I actually ran into him...I knocked him down by accident..." Minah started laughing really loud and Yeonmi of course doesn't know how to keep quiet "You ran into him?! How are you going to get a boyfriend if you run men down like a herd of buffalo?!" You saw him laughing from across the restaurant, no doubt it was at your expense. You became really embarrassed and just stared in your lap blushing even more. "Okay, Okay, I think we've teased her enough, don't you Yeonmi?" Minah said as she patted you on the back. "So, are there any details about him that you can tell us?" Yeonmi asked as she finally quieted down. "Well, he's tall..his voice sounds smooth but he was wearing a mask, so I couldn't tell. He had sunglasses on, so I couldn't see his eyes, but his hair looked really soft." you were just rambling on about him and the next thing you knew, you were holding your face in your hands, smiling and blushing. "Looks like someone is in Love~" Minah teased you and Yeonmi giggled. "I-I am not!" you blushed even more "then why is your face like a tomato?" Yeonmi pointed at your face and giggled. Once again, he was over there laughing. -sigh-"Can we just talk about something else now?" you groaned.

You guys talked about dance practice, school, and other miscellaneous topics while eating. "Okay, so you're paying!" Minah reminded you. "I know...I always pay." you said with a deep sigh. You looked in your bag for your wallet, but it wasn't there. "Oh no....where is it?!" you thought to yourself and started frantically searching your bag. "Don't tell me you forgot your wallet..." Yeonmi said, sounding worried. "We didn't bring our bags because we thought you could pay..." she continued. "I-It's okay guys! I have a plan!" You said as you motioned the waitress to come over. "Uhm, I seemed to have lost my wallet, so I was wondering if I could just work my bill off...maybe stay and clean or something?" You whispered to the waitress. "What are you, some kind of beggar?! You think you can come here and eat for free?!" the waitress started yelling at you. Embarrassed you tried to explain yourself but she only became more angry. People were staring, he was staring, and your friends had left because you said you had it under control. "I-I'm sorry..." you said as you started tearing up. The man got up and left which for some reason upset you even more. "You're sorry? Do you think you're better because you're from America?!" She kept yelling at you until her boss came up and apologized to you. "I am so sorry miss, it seems our waitress has made a mistake. Your bill has already been paid, you are free to go. Please take these coupons and come back with your friends again soon! We will greet you happily." the manager said to you with a calming smile. You nodded, grabbed your bag and headed for the doors. You walked outside to find the man standing there with his hands in his pockets, he looked like he was waiting for someone. You were too embarrassed to face him, so you tried to quickly walk past him. You almost made it until you felt him grab your wrist "Ya! Did you think I would let you go free after you knocked me down and I had to pay for you and your friends?" He said with a slightly annoyed voice. You were shocked "you paid for us?...T-thank you so much, you didn't have to.." you said trying to control how shaky your voice was getting. "What was I supposed to do? Sit there and watch the waitress yell at you? She didn't even get run over, I did so only I get to yell at you!" he said. "Now, you are going to walk me home." he continued. "W-what? Why?" you asked a little too loud, but you were caught off guard. "Because my leg hurts..." he said with a pouty voice as he started fake limping. "Is he trying to be cute or something?" you thought to yourself and let out a deep sigh. "Fine, let's get going then. It's getting dark out" you said, sounding annoyed as you helped him start walking.
