Jin's POV

Tonight is the night I pick up Dae for the Gala. I've been so nervous that I have been sweating all day. I decided to take a cold shower to get her off my mind. I don't know why she makes my heart feel tight when I'm around her. When I met her at Mike's house, all I can think about was her smile and those beautiful brown eyes. I can't stop thinking about her without smiling which is weird. I wipe the excess water off my face and let the water run down my head before I turn off the shower.

After wrapping a towel around my waist, I went to my closet trying to look for my new clothes that I picked up

After wrapping a towel around my waist, I went to my closet trying to look for my new clothes that I picked up. I look through my suits and find one that I think Dae would like. Once I decided to wear my red suit, I went back to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I combed my hair and put on some cologne. 

I remember that Dae likes men who smells good well, that's what Mike told me. When she wrote her number on my hand, all I wanted to do was kiss her hoping I would get more than that. I made sure that I looked my best because I wanted Dae to notice me tonight. I make sure I have my wallet and keys before I left. 

The elevator was down the hall so it didn't take long before the doors opened. I pressed the button for the parking garage and waited. Once the elevator doors opened, I grab my keys out my pocket as I started to walk to my car. After unlocking the door, I get to my car and text Dae.  All I have to do is get her address and enter it in the navigation system.

Hey, its Jin. I'm on my way


Great. I'll be ready 💄

Cool, can u txt me ur address?


I don't know why her text of red lipstick turned me on but, I stare at it before I drove off. When I reached the end of the street, my text notification went off and I knew it was her address. She text:

1983 Brooklyn DR. Apt. #51 😉I'll buzz u n. Just dial 551

I put Dae's address in my GPS and head to her house. When I arrive, I parked in the front of her apartment and keyed in 551. Dae buzzes me in and I take the elevator to the fifth floor. Before knocking on her door, I applied some chap stick and I took a deep breath.

Dae opens the door and smiles at me when she lets me in. Her brown eyes were warm and my body started to heat up. I looked away immediately feeling myself becoming embarrassed. When she let me in, I followed her to the kitchen. Staring at her outfit, I watched as the red fabric hugged her body in all the right places. Her smooth skin made me crave her more. Trying to think about something else, thoughts started to take over. "Jin, would you like something to drink?"
