A Day

~After Jin Seo and Chan Woo leave~

Go Eun pulled away from the sidewalk and turned onto the route that would take her to Jun Hoe's apartment. He sat quietly in the passenger seat on his phone, the only noise coming from his jiggling knee. He was trying to focus on the game he had open but the days events kept running through his mind. He looked out the window when a storefront caught his eye.

"Hey, pull over. Let's stop here." He said, motioning for Go Eun to pull the car over. She gave him a questioning look before she complied and parked the car by the curb.

"Why? What are you doing?" She asked as Jun Hoe hoped out from the car. He came around the side and opened her door, waving her out from her seat. Go Eun stepped out from the car and Jun Hoe swept her away towards his destination. The door to the small coffee shop shut behind them and Go Eun was met with the scent of espresso and freshly baked sweets.

Jun Hoe found a table and set Go Eun down in a chair before giving her a little smile and walking off to the counter to order. Go Eun still sat in confusion at his sudden actions, not that they were entirely unwelcome, she figured this was just their first date. Jun Hoe came back with a vanilla latte and iced americano, handing the former to Go Eun as he took his spot across from her.

"What is going on with you?" She asked. Jun Hoe raised his eye brows, taking a sip from his drink.

"Hm?" He hummed.

"I mean, this was just so sudden... You did just come from the hospital." Go Eun tilted her head, examining Jun Hoe's face as he thought over her words.

Jun Hoe smiled and reached out his hand, taking one of Go Eun's in it and running his thumb over her soft, pale skin. Go Eun gave him a small smile in return, taking her hand and interlacing their fingers together.

"Let's have a day. It's been a stressful day and I want to put it all behind us. I mean, it is our day one." Jun Hoe laughed to himself, "Since the hospital I've been thinking about what we could do to turn this into a memorable day, but for better reasons than earlier."

"I like that idea a lot. So, what have you got planned for us?" Go Eun sipped her latte, her mind skimming over all the things she would like to do with Jun Hoe at her side, a larger smile taking over her features.

"Oh, that's definitely a secret, no way I can tell you." Jun Hoe chuckled as the smile fell from Go Eun's face and a look of bewilderment and stress took over. Jun Hoe knew that an unknown plan was not one of Go Eun's favorite things, but telling her would ruin the surprise.

Go Eun began to worry, Koo Jun Hoe was an unpredictable man and Cha Go Eun was a fan of predictability. She began to wonder if she had really used those six months to think things over well enough but as she looked at their interlaced fingers, the sound of his laugh, and his giant smile... Go Eun decided maybe predictability was a fair trade in to be with him.

The two finished their drinks and exited the shop. Hand in hand they walked down the sidewalk, Jun Hoe glancing at his phone every once in a while to make sure they were headed the right way. He kept having to hide the screen away and scold Go Eun as she peeked over trying to read where the destination was. Jun Hoe stood proudly before the neon lights of the arcade he had brought Go Eun, who stood unimpressed, to.

"Come on, it'll be fun I promise!" Jun Hoe tugged her hand, pulling her behind him into the building that echoed with the sounds of games and flashed bright lights in the hopes of enticing customers off the streets. He paid for the coins that would activate the games and handed Go Eun a cup of them. "What do you want to play first?"

Go Eun looked around nervously, she wasn't exactly great at games, and if she was being honest, this was the first time she had been to an arcade. When she spotted a driving game that seemed easier than the others she saw around it.
