"Ahhh, I don't know what to wear." Hyejin searched through her wardrobe filled with lots of clothes.
Hyejin was preparing for her first official date with Minhyun and she was frustrated over the fact that she didn't want to look indecent. "Wait! I found it!" She pulled out a pink dress from the far corner of her closet.
Wow, Ihaven't worn this since a year. I'msurprised it still looks nice. She twirled around just for the fun of it.

Suddenly Hyejin's actions were broken by the ring of her message notifications.
Iseul All of us wish you luck on your date!
Dawon Tell us how it goes after. 😏
She smiled to see her friends being supportive of her relationship but also at their humor which never died down. Hyejin was about to turn off her phone until she saw the time.
"I'm going to be late!" She quickly put light makeup on and shoes as she made a bolt to the door and to the coffee shop where they planned to meet.
After taking the bus to the coffee shop, she entered in with the scent of sweetness. It smells so yummy. I don't know why I never came to this place before.
"Hyejin!" Minhyun raised his hand, calling her name to make sure she saw him. She waved back.
"I'm not late am I?" There was a quiet pant hidden within her breaths as she set her bag on her lap.
"No, I came just a few minutes ago so it's alright." Minhyun smiled warmly at her, Hyejin couldn't help but feel relaxed. "Also, I pre-ordered your favorite. They said it'll be ready soon."
"As expected you know what I like."
For a while the two sat in the window lighted cafe as they conversed and laughed. Of course their relationship had progressed more than ever.
"Hyejin-" Minhyun looked up from his drink. "Do you want to go somewhere with me?"
"Sure why not. I'm not busy anyways." She agreed.

"Why are you closing my eyes?" Minhyun made sure that Hyejin could not see his surprise to her. Hyejin on the other hand could not figure out what the surprise is.
"Okay now you could open your eyes." Minhyun smiled as he looked at the same thing as Hyejin.
"Where are we?" Hyejin eyed many people holding colorful paper lanterns.
"Well it's kind of like a light festival. It was happening today, so I decided why not go here for our date."
"It's so beautiful." Her eyes were in awe at how magical the place looked.
"Come on let's go, we're going to be late. Let's get a lantern."
"Late?" Hyejin questioned but she was stopped by Minhyun grabbing her hand.
The night sky and cold air made the scenario seem majestic and dream like. "First make a wish and then set the lantern to the water." Minhyun instructed as they both bent down near the edge.
Hyejin thought of a wish that she really hope would last for a lifetime. As she made her wish, she let her blue colored lamp into the river.
She was still amazed at all the pretty colors floating in the reflective mass. It was truly an event she wouldn't forget.

After the lantern event, there were still food stalls that sold soul/street food. Since it was getting late and they hadn't eaten dinner, they decided to walk around the area trying foods.
"So what did you wish for?" Hyejin nudged Minhyun's shoulder.
"Should I tell you?" His eyes sparkled from the lights. They looked as though they carried stars.
"I mean you don't have-"
"I wished that we could stay together forever." He cut her off as he intertwined his fingers around Hyejin's.
She couldn't help but feel slightly shy. She smiled in response. "I know we will for sure."
