Don't Go

----Chapter 21----

"Are you done? Let's go!" Jo knocked impatiently on the door of Zelo's room. "You know, girls are the ones who usually take time in getting ready...Is this a sign?"

"Just wait okay?! I can't find my other sock!" 

"Ah, seriously? Do you want me to help you?!"

"Huh?! What?! Oh wait!!....I found it!" The door opened and Zelo stepped out of the room."Let's gooo..." He looked up and can't help but just stare at Jo.

"What?"

Zelo snapped out of it and led Jo downstairs.

"Where are the two of you going? and why are the two of you dressed up so...nicely?" Jo's mom asked as she passed by the staircase."Could it be?....Are you the two of you going on a date?"

"Ne" Zelo happily answered as he held Jo's hand.

"It's not that I'm not against it...but won't you be seen outside? Where do you plan on going anyway?"  It seems that Jo's mom has forgotten what to do, she was now standing infront of them, her hands on her hips.

"Where going to see a movie..." said Jo. 

"A movie? Oh...okay, but won't Junhong's fans recognize him? We don't want any rumors again now do we? It might affect Junhong's career..." Jo's mom started. Zelo held her shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes. "Eomma...It won't affect my career. I've asked my manager about this and he even encouraged me. Don't worry" Jo's mom nodded and let out a sigh. "Arasseo, just be careful okay?" 

"Ne~" Jo and Zelo answered.

"Okay, have fun" with that, Jo's mom left and went to the other room.

The couple went out of the house and in to Jo's car. Since Zelo can't really drive, Jo was the one who drove them to their destination. They went out early and arrived early. The mall they went to was still closed.

"What now? It's still closed and it will open after...an hour" Jo said as she checked her phone. The two of them were waiting in front of the mall's entrance. Other people were also waiting but so far, none of them had recognized the idol. Zelo thought for a second and dragged Jo by the arm.

"Hey! Where are we going?"

"Just follow me, I know a place near here. Let's wait there." 

The mall was in the middle of a huge park full of stores, booths, food booths, restaurants, and a lot of things. Zelo dragged Jo in to one of the restaurants that was open, it was also near the mall.

A bell ringed as soon as Zelo opened the door to the restaurant.

"Annyeonghaseyo" greeted the waitress that led them to their table. The restaurant wasn't full...in fact....they were the first costumers there. The waitress led them to the table near the restaurant's window. The restaurant had this cozy, vintage feel to it.

"The hyungs and I used to hang out here when we were still trainees, they would always treat me here." Zelo said as Jo opened the menu that was given to them by the waitress. Zelo closed the menu that Jo was holding and called the waitress.

"Hey! I was still..."

"Trust me on this..."

"Okay..." Jo looked at Zelo. He looked so excited to be in this place, he had a smile on his face and he emitted this happy aura. Zelo said the orders and faced Jo. "You're going to love it here"

"I like this place so far...the theme...the ambiance...and the fact that you say that I'll love it here is enough for me to love this place..." 

"You sound like a critic or something..."
