||Koi No Yokan|| Park Seonghwa

||Chapter 7||

Dates were definitely something that Seonghwa was used to. He had followed countless couples on their first date (even when "dates" as we know them now weren't an actual thing) just waiting for the right moment to strike his arrows. Sometimes it happened as soon as two people saw each other, sometimes it happened after a few dates, and most of the time it never happened.

"It's not meant to be," he only told himself, as he moved on to his next task.

However, this time was different. He had to go on an actual date.

With a girl that he was already so in love with, even if it had only been a month since he came to stay on Earth.

He was pacing nervously back and forth, thinking about last night's events, all while he held the arrow in his hand.

"I think I'm going crazy"

"I mean, you definitely are" Yunho answered, as he was placidly laying on the bed with one hand swinging out of it.

"I'm dead serious Yunho. Ever since the world was created I was told that falling in love was too dangerous for me, and now here I am, losing my shit over a date with a mortal!"

"And not just any mortal... I told you once and I'm going to tell you again, she's really pretty"

It took all of Seonghwa's will to not to punch Yunho in the face.

"She's not just pretty, Yunho! She's also smart, and kind and..."

"Yes, I know, you literally haven't stopped talking about her since last night!"

Seonghwa checked his outfit for the umpteenth time: a tucked-in white shirt and black jeans.

"You're fine, Seonghwa. And just remember, if you need me, I'll be right there. Literally, I mean you guys are literally going on a date in my territory" Yunho snickered, earning a pillow in the face from Seonghwa

"And I already regret it! Mind your own business, at least for tonight!"

He prepared to teleport himself on dry land, as he reassured himself everything would've been perfect that night.

"It has to be"

Saying that Carys was nervous was an understatement.

"It's just a date... with one of the most gorgeous men out there, who'll be here in less than five minutes"

Her thoughts were rushing in her head, making it difficult to concentrate as she was trying to style her hair. In the end, she decided to just let them be and headed downstairs to pick up her house keys and her phone. She had told Yeri about the date that morning, earning a more than simply enthusiastic response from her judging by her last message.

"Go get him, tiger!😜"

She was checking herself up in the mirror when she saw a car stop right in front of her house. Seonghwa waved at her from the driver seat, rolling the window down.

"Hi! Are you ready to go?"

"Yes!" she replied cheerfully, getting in the car.

They quickly arrived at the beach. Seonghwa pulled out a picnic basket from the car's trunk, following her to a quiet spot next to the rocks. Seonghwa displayed the beach towel neatly on the sand, motioning for her to sit on it.

"Look at the sky! It's so pretty!"

She kept her eyes up, observing the orange and violet-tinted sky shift in color, as the sun seemed to be drowning into the sea.
