Parental Discretion Advised

TLC

Kikah's POV:

2 weeks later:

Since Aurora was spending the weekend with Taemin, I, once again had the weekend to myself. Only this time, instead of staying home, I let Irene talk me into downloading Tinder and going on a date.

It was a mess at first, with most of the guys sending me either nudes I didn't ask for or asking for nudes I never offered to send. If I read another message saying "I went to (insert American university here) so I know what black women want" I was going to scream.

'What the hell is wrong with these people?'

Eventually, I ran across one descent apple out of a whole barrel of rotten ones and we decided to meet at a nice restaurant in Hongdae. Since I knew I would probably have wine with our dinner, I decided to take an Uber there. Ever since I became a mother I didn't risk drinking and driving anymore, even if it was just one glass.

I got a quick pep talk from Irene before she had to leave and get ready for her comeback performance, and then I was off to meet my date.

I got to the restaurant about 10 minutes early. He, however, came 10 minutes late.

'Strike 1.'

He sat down and we began to talk, and it was going well. Then, I was hit with a whiff of his breath and I had to wonder how many years had it been since he had brushed his teeth.

'Maybe he was allergic to toothpaste. Strike 2.'

It also dawned on me, as we were talking, that he looked nothing like his profile picture. In fact, he looked a lot older than the 26 he claimed he was.

I tried to let it slide though. I mean, I looked a little different in person too. So, it wasn't a deal breaker.

When he asked me what I did for a living, I told him about my company. How, I had started it from the ground up and that I was proud of the direction it was headed.

Before he could respond, our waitress came and we ordered our food. He asked slyly if they offered take away. Saying, that we could always just eat our food back at my place. Unfortunately, for him, she told him they did not.

'I hope he's not thinking what I think he's thinking.'

As we wait for our food, we continue to make small talk. Trying to get a feel for each other. He made several unfunny jokes about us just skipping dinner all together and going back to my place. However, once he realized I was not laughing or swooning, he changed the subject back to safer topics.

'Now you're learning.'

"Like I was saying, I work for a marketing firm that represents corporations like Coke Cola and Toyota. So, I'm usually pretty busy but when I saw your face, and read your profile, I just knew I had to make time to meet you. What was it that you said your business was again, pretty lady?" He conversed swirling his cup of wine in an attempt to be charming.

"Oh, I own a beauty company, called Neris. I opened several new stores in Seoul a couple months ago and they're really doing well." I beamed proudly.

"Beauty?" He laughed disbelievingly. "Oh, I thought you actually owned a real corporation but you're just a glorified make-up artist. I mean, it's cute that you're so proud of your work but any stay at home mother can own one of those."

My mouth dropped open at that. He really had just sat there and insulted me with a smile on his face. Like he was so damn perfect. He was balding at 26, for God's sake!

I tried to discreetly text Amber, Key, or Jong to help me get out of this date, but none of them were texting me back. To be honest, I think they're all still at Red Velvet's comeback performance. So, it looked like I was going to be stuck here for a while.

He excused himself to go to the bathroom and I noticed he had left his wallet on the table. Curiosity got the better of me and I opened it up. Only to close it back immediately.

I was pissed.

This motherfucker had lied about his age! He wasn't 26, he was 42!

'Strike 3. '

I was done, and I needed to vent to someone. Getting up, I walked to the smoking area and made a call.

Thank God, Taemin answered on the second ring.

Quickly, I explained my night so far, where I was at, and everything that my date had said. For the most part, Taemin didn't laugh at me. No, instead he encouraged me to finish out the date and just don't worry about it. That, at least, I had gotten a good story I could tell people out of it. I had to admit, he did make me feel better about it.

I got off the phone and walked back to my seat. Our food had just arrived, so I took a nice large gulp of wine and began to eat. My date came back and began to eat as well. He also started back with insinuating that we should leave to my place.

Just when I was about to say fuck this and leave, I heard tires screech outside. People in the restaurant looked around trying to see if there had been an accident or something.

However, that was not the case at all.

They stormed in the place. Her, in her Pororo footies. And him with cold cream on his face; clad in a blue silk robe with matching pajamas, house shoes, and a hot pink hair clip smack in the front of his hair, that held back his bangs.

Our eyes met and, for a brief moment, he smirked before it was quickly replaced with a look of shock, than anger.

'What the Fuck?'

Rushing over to my table, he boomed. "Is this what you do when you tell me your working late? I'm at home raising our child and your out here having dinner with strange men?"

"I--baby--I can explain." I pleaded, getting in to character of a low down cheating harlot.

Paying me no attention, he faced my now quivering date.

"Exactly what the hell do you think your doing with my wife? Did you know she was married? Are you two having an affair?" He accused, drawing stares from the other guests.

"No. This is all just one big misunder--" He started trying to explain, standing from his seat with his hands up in a placating manner.

Before he could finish the sentence, my baby ran up to him and kicked him hard in the knee "Homewhecker!" she yelled pointing at him, her face twisted in a cute little frown. Then, she ran back to her father's side, as Taemin continued to pretend to be furious.

He continued to accuse my date of horrible things. Even going so far as to say I was seduced into meeting him because I was always so innocent. How, his pure wife would never do such a thing to her family.

After apologizing profusely and stating that it was all a misunderstanding, my date left. Taemin payed for the dinner and we laughed about the entire incident in the car.

"Was I good daddy?" Asked Aurora.

"Good? You were great! Uncle Key is going to be so proud when I tell him" He exclaimed reaching back to give Roro a high-five.

"God, I think that was my first and last time using Tinder." I sighed defeated about the prospect of my non-existent dating life.

"I hope so." Agreed Taemin, trying in vain not to laugh at me. "I would hate to have to keep interrupting your dates to 'bring my wife home.' I might have to divorce you."

I just looked at him.

"So" he started, changing the subject. "Who wants ice cream?"

'This weekend sucked.'
