I waited for him to come up the stairs and there we were greeted by someone.

Hi sir! I believe you made reservation with us. Table for two? Come this way please

We walked towards the table and wow the view was fantastic I can't believe he managed to find a place like this in Hongdae, he pulled the chair for me and my heart started to flutter by the gesture.

Lisa: thanks...ummm how'd you come to know this place? It's quite amazing to be honest

Jk: Do you like it? It's nice right? It's not sophisticated but it's peaceful.

Lisa: daebakk! Look at that wowww, my eyes glistened as I looked at the view.

What would you like to order for today?

Jk: just Alfredo pasta and steak thank you.

Anything else?

Jk: glass of wine for me and just water for the lady.

Lisa: water? Pfft...a glass of wine for me as well

Is that all?

Lisa: yes, thank you.

Jk: you sure bout this? It's 4:40 Am and your drinking wine? Can you even go home at this rate?

Lisa: it's not like I have somewhere to go back
to.

Jk: ow yeah...about our conversation earlier. Ill open up about mine if you tell me yours.

Lisa: I thought you were gonna tell me first...

Jk: just tell me yours, I can tell that you need someone to vent out to.

Lisa: wow...that's a first, you do have a point. Well I'm gonna make mine quick...So basically today was my evaluation day with my group for singing and dancing...unfortunately I blacked out and was brought to the hospital. Because of that I ruined my groups chance of being evaluated that could possibly lead to us debuting in a few years. Also because of what happened it's unlikely for me to get accepted back. Why do I cause so much trouble for others I don't understand.

Jk: evaluation? Wait...hold on...are you aspiring on becoming an idol? What a small world because I myself is a trainee...out of all people...anyways why did you blacked out? I mean you seem to be healthy and all.

Lisa: Well I don't really like to open up about these things, but it's not like I'll ever see you again after today. So, I suffer from some sort of heart decease inherited by my moms side of the family, meanwhile my mom is suffering backpains and soon to undergo treatment. Treatment for her is quite expensive so, as a trainee I usually use my allowance to send it to her to help her get her treatment. As for me, I go home after practice, for 2 hrs and off I go to
work.

Jk: ow I see...hey cheer up...it's not like you committed a crime...everyone can only do so much and they can't expect you to have the strength to perform. if you've been hiding the fact that you have a side job do you even sleep? And 2 hrs to rest isn't enough.

Lisa: I've gotten used to it, and I usually tell them I'm off to do night school. So far they haven't been suspecting but I'll be doing this till my mom recovers.

Jk: I've never met such a strong girl before. How can you possibly carry this all on your own?

Lisa: I honestly don't know either.

Here's the Alfredo pasta for the lady and steak for you good sir! Enjoy your meal.

Jk: Enough of this, you should eat first...and make sure you eat a lot.

I started cutting the steak and handed her a big chunk of it...

Lisa: yah! Do you think I can eat all of this? What about you...you should eat a lot.

Jk: you better eat up...I'll be full by looking at you eat.

Lisa POV
No one has ever been this considerate towards how I feel before. Why is he making my heart flutter so much. Starring at him drink his wine while his gaze was fixed on the view makes him even more attractive.

Jk POV
I've never met such a strong, kind and pure hearted girl. She looks so strong but inside she's hurting badly. Why do I feel like I need to keep protecting her. She's so fragile and I love that about her. She caught me starring what do I do? I grabbed the wine quickly and drank it all while starring off.

We kept quite for quite sometime...

I cleared my throat, and wiped the pasta sauce off my lips...

Lisa: you mind telling me your story now?

Jk: oh yeah...ummm alright like you said we won't be seeing each other after anyways...where do I start? Ahh..so you see I'm a trainee too...becoming an idol hopefully soon...but I'm getting sent to America for a couple of months maybe a year to get extensive dance and vocal lessons...I don't mind it, in fact it's a great opportunity...but I worry about my parents. Just like you, I take good care of both my parents. My older brother is overseas to work and I'm the only one that can visit them once in a while. They don't suffer any health conditions it's just that theres only my brother and I. By going to America might make it hard for my parents to cope with everything.

Lisa: Aweee I see...you must be under a lot of pressure right now...I hope everything goes well for you.

Jk: thanks...I hope everything goes well for
you too...

Lisa: shall we get going?

Jk: Sure...are you okay??? Your face is red.

Lisa POV
I'm not really good at drinking any sort of liquor...but I am good at acting...the wine is kicking in and I had a full glass of it too...aichhh Lisa your so stupid.

Lisa: yeah I'm fine...it's just a little hot here

Jk: but we're outsi-

Lisa: OKAYY LETS GO LETS GO!!

Jk: okayy

We were about to leave when all of a sudden I had an idea, maybe it was because I was also kind of drunk but I decided to take a picture of him. For some odd reason he agreed to it. Maybe he's drunk too. It was a perfect shot of our view. And a perfect shot of the stranger I had feelings for.
