"Unnie!" Jeongyeon heard someone's calling out her name. The voice echoed through the hotel lobby. She turned her back to see Mina's jogging towards her and Chaeyoung followed closely behind. "Hey Minari you're here!" Jeongyeon side hugging Chaeyoung's girlfriend. "It's been a while since we last met. How have you and Momo been? I barely even get to meet Chaeng this past few months. I miss hanging out with you guys, and speaking of, where is she?" Mina asked. "We're both doing good Mina, and Momo is in her room, just call her to come down here. She said she'll be going to the hotel bar later tonight, maybe you guys can join her." Jeongyeon stated, looking at her watch. "Are you going somewhere hyung? judging by your outfits seems like you going somewhere fancy? was it a.. date.?" Chaeyoung smirked raising her eyebrows. "I didn't overdressed am I? and yes I'm meeting someone." Jeongyeon said, checking herself out looking worried. "Nahh you dressed well." Chaeyoung showing an okay sign, "and wheww that Jo Malone's woody fragrance? you'll top this date hyung." she added. "Hahaha stop it cub and please pray for me. By the way Mina, are you staying in this hotel as well?" Jeongyeon asked the Japanese actress. "I'm not. I just wanted to spent a night here with Chaeyoung. I'm staying in another hotel, not really far from here. My shootings starts tomorrow so my manager give me a time off for tonight and here I am with this cutie." Mina explained while pinching the tip of Chaeyoung's nose. Chaeyoung just scrunched her face acting cute. "Ugh you guys are annoyingly cute it hurts my eyes. Anyways, I'll be going now. Don't wanna be late for the hot date!" Jeongyeon counters rhyming her sentence. "Chaeng, don't let Momo drink too much tonight. That punk will turn the bar upside down if she's drunk and Minari, I know you'll always be the one who stays sober so I'm counting on you especially. I don't trust Cheyoung that much," "heyyy!" Chaeyoung whines. "We'll hang out whenever you're free from your schedule okay? gotta run now adios kiddos." Jeongyeon left the couple. "Lmao look at that weirdo." Chaeyoung said while looking at Jeongyeon heading towards the lobby entrance. "You're weird too." Mina stated. "I know, I learned from the best," pointing at Jeongyeon's direction, "and I'm your weirdo." Chaeyoung clinging onto Mina's left arms showing a toothy grins earning a soft chuckle from the taller girl. "Yes. You are MY weirdo. Mine." Mina replied with a smile that never leave her face.

Jeongyeon arrived 10 minutes early. She thinks it would be appropriate if she's the one who awaits. She wouldn't mind waiting anyway, especially for the beauty that she's so eager to have a date with. She doesn't like people waiting for her. Well except for the events involving Momo or Chaeyoung, she will happily make the two wait for her if they're going somewhere just to annoy the hell out of them. Not everytime, only on several occasions. Jeongyeon sit on the same spot, same restaurant she had dinner before with Nayeon. She's just so fond of the place so they agreed to meet there. Jeongyeon beating the time by sipping her glass of white wine while waiting for the other woman. She's savoring every bit of the sip and suddenly a voice from someone that she's been waiting for break her state of tranquility. "Well you dressed nice." Nayeon appeared in front of her. Jeongyeon stands on her feet looking at the beauty and good heavens she looks gorgeous! "No 'hi you look pretty nice too?' you hurt my feelings Jeongyeon." Nayeon pouts. Jeongyeon's looking right at Nayeon's pair of lips. Lord help me. Help me to not getting weak on my knees. Jeongyeon's praying in her heart. Jeongyeon didn't know how to react but she finally said something, "Y-you look lovely Nayeon." Nayeon let out a soft laugh. "I'm just kidding Jeongyeon don't be so tense. Not kidding on the part where I said you dressed nice tho, you do looks nice and smells nice too." Jeongyeon blushed, muted. "Let's sit now and order yeah?" Nayeon continues and Jeongyeon obliged.

They have met few times now and Jeongyeon's getting more comfortable talking with Nayeon. Previously it was Nayeon the one who initiated a talk and the teasing but this time, it's Jeongyeon's. Both women now are laughing wholeheartedly, commenting on each others childhood stories and reliving the past. "So that front teeth wasn't that 'rabbity' before?" Jeongyeon teased still trying to hold back her laughter but failing badly. "I swear to god. I lost both of my front teeth once and it grows bac- stop laughing Jeongyeon! I'm still cute okay." Nayeon threw a tiny piece of leftover bread towards the blonde. "I'm sorry I'm sorry okay I'll stop now, but I have one request." Jeongyeon suddenly change the air into seriousness between them. "and that is?" Nayeon eyed the girl in front of her with curiosity. "Can I call you bunny?" Jeongyeon burst into laughing. Again. This time she didn't even bother to hold back her laughter. "You're meanie." Nayeon pout. Ahh there it is again, the pout. Jeongyeon's new weakness. "Awh come on, I'm only joking, please don't pout." Jeongyeon try to persuade the sulking bunny. "Nayeon I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be offensive, I'm sorry okay? stop with the pouting please?" Jeongyeon's soft tones did enough to make the other woman smile. "I'm not mad I'm just testing you. Gotcha!" Nayeon's showing an evil grin. Jeongyeon shake her head. You are something else Im Nayeon.

The two finished their dinner and decided to walk down the alley, catching some fresh breath of air for the night. "I must say I'm impressed of how you know your way around here. Did you live here before?" Jeongyeon asked the other woman. "Kinda? not for long tho only for 4 years. I stayed with my sister and aunts and I went back to Korea to study but my sister decided to stay here. She even married a local." Nayeon explained. "Wow 4 years huh? no wonder. So you're staying with her now? or in a hotel?" Jeongyeon probe more question. "Yeah I'm staying with her. Thought I could spend some time with my nephews. I miss them so much and my sister haven't been back since she got married. This is my only third time seeing them. Once a year after they were born." Nayeon expressed. Jeongyeon can hear the disappointment in Nayeon's voice. "Any reason why she's not coming back?" Jeongyeon knock herself on her head scolding herself internally 'mind your own business you knucklehead'. "On a second thought, you don't have to answer that. I didn't mean to pry I'm sorry." Jeongyeon apologize. "Nah it's fine. My sister had a fight with my dad. Dad against her marriage. He doesn't like outsiders I have no idea why. In my family, it's okay if you're gay, as long as you marry a Korean. Just not to foreign people. It's odd I know. Usually people despise gay people but not my family." For some reason Jeongyeon feel relieved hearing the statement coming out from Nayeon's mouth. "Anyways, enough rekindling with the past. Let's go get some ice cream." Nayeon dragged the taller woman and Jeongyeon just followed.

"What about you?" Nayeon asked Jeongyeon while enjoying her vanilla ice cream. "What about me what?" Jeongyeon asked back. "I mean, I practically told you about my family history and you barely tell me about yours but it's okay if you don't want to share, I'm cool." Nayeon stated genuinely. "There's nothing much to tell, really. I'm the only child, I live by myself. My dad's a businessman, rarely meet him these days. We're both work freaks lol. My mom passed away when I was ten. I was devastated and depressed for a year but somehow god knocked a sense in me, I managed to finally let go of the heavy feelings. But I still missed her everyday of course. I don't usually go out because I don't do well in mingling with strangers. I have small circle of friends, small but it's enough for me. So that's it. That's all about me. Sounds lonely right?" Jeongyeon never really open up to strangers but she feels safe around the other woman. "It's not lonely Jeong, that's what we called living. Life must go on right? just because it gets bumpy in the middle of the road, doesn't mean we need to stop driving from reaching our destination." Nayeon paused for a moment, "oh wow I'm usually far from being philosophical but maybe being beside you bring out the best in me?" Nayeon winks. "That is so cheesy I gotta admit Ms. Im. Cheesy but it works." Jeongyeon replied with a tint of smile on her face. "Jeongyeon, can I ask one personal question, if you don't mind?" Nayeon's a bit hesitant. "Shoot." Jeongyeon said. "Do you have a-" "Girlfriend?" Nayeon's sentence was cut midway by Jeongyeon bluntly blurted out the exact word she wanted to say. So she just mumbled a 'yeah' patiently waiting for Jeongyeon to answer. "I do..." Nayeon wears a gloomy face without she even noticing, but suddenly Jeongyeon continues, "NOT have a girlfriend or a boyfriend or a special someone at the moment." Nayeon's heart jumps in excitement but her face is still calm. "Ahh I see." Nayeon's respond. Jeongyeon looked at Nayeon so dearly and she stop walking. The moon light shine right above their heads and Jeongyeon could see a whole of the other woman, her perfect features, a well sculptured face. It's a face of an angel, Jeongyeon thought. "Why are we stopping?" Nayeon questioned still spooning her half empty ice cream cup. Jeongyeon still remain unresponsive looking at her. Nayeon's blurred on what's happening but her sneaky little brain works immediately with her dipping her ice cream spoon and tap it on the tip of Jeongyeon's nose and lips. Nayeon tried to run but Jeongyeon grab her arms pulling Nayeon right into her embrace. Jeongyeon locked her hands behind the other woman's waist. "Now now do you think you can get away like yesterday? whose gonna clean up my face then? I might wake up to a troop of ants-" Jeongyeon's ramblings was cut short by a quick peck on her lips. She couldn't comprehend at first on what's happening so she didn't respond. Nayeon's looking at Jeongyeon, biting her lower lip worriedly, but Jeongyeon on the other hand couldn't take her eyes off of the other woman's lips. When Nayeon was about to say something and her mouth barely parted, Jeongyeon leaned in and so very delicately captured Nayeon's pair of lips. Nayeon reciprocated the kiss, with a full blast willingness. It wasn't that long, but it was wonderful in its own way, enough to leave the two a little breathless.
