Hongbin

You've had a crush on your best friend's brother for years, but never thought he noticed you. You always thought of yourself as that geeky friend that everyone put up with because you were funny sometimes, so you were surprised when your phone went off with a text message from an unknown number. When you looked at the message, you were even more surprised when it read; "Hey!! It's me, Hongbin. What are you doing tonight?" Your eyes widen at the message, not entirely sure how to respond. Finally, you decide to say "Hey Hongbin. How did you get my number?" dodging his original question. He laughs to himself and responds "How do you think? Seriously. What are you doing tonight??" "Same thing I do every night. Read and watch Netflix," you send, trying to make it seem like you aren't about to jump straight out of your socks from excitement. "Change of plans," he sends you. "We're going bowling. No arguments. I'll pick you up at 6" and at that, the phone goes quiet. You look at the clock which reads 4:30. You hurry around, getting ready for the date you were sure was never going to happen. At 6 o'clock on the dot, there's a knock on your door. You take one last look in the mirror before answering it to find Hongbin standing there smiling, his dimples making him cute as ever. "Annyeong, (y/n)." he says with a small wave. "Hi..." you say shyly. "Are you ready?" he asks. You nod and he takes your hand as you make your way to his car. Once at the bowling alley, you gather the shoes for both of you while he goes to get the lane kiosk all set up. After the first couple throws, both of you start laughing at one another at how horrible you both are at the sport. From there it becomes a competition of who can be the dorkiest while throwing the ball down the lane, and he ends up stepping on the waxed floor of the lane and falling square on his booty while the ball rolls ever so slowly down the gutter before getting stuck. He doubles over laughing before getting off the floor and walking back to you, while you stifle your own laughter. You send your ball down the lane, achieving the one and only strike of the game. "Cheater!!!" Hongbin calls out, laughing. "How did I cheat?" you ask, crossing your arms in a mock pout. You both laugh and soon the game is over and you head to the small arcade they have and Hongbin sits down at one of the racing games that is set up for multiplayer. You take the seat next to his and say "I'm no good at these." He looks at you saying "Neither am I, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun." And he inserts the coins, beginning the race. You guys spend a few hours there, challenging each other to every game, and even playing another round of bowling. All too soon it comes time for him to take you home. Once there, he leaves you with a lingering hug and a sweet kiss on the forehead. He doesn't leave the driveway before texting you: "I had fun. What are we doing tomorrow?"
