Yanna:
Hoseok then started the car engine and drove off. The whole ride, I was trying to hide my face and disappear in my seat. We just got past the nearest food place from our office. I saw some of my workmates leaving the place. I quickly hid. They must not see me with Hoseok. They might judge me. I sat up properly once we got out of sight of my workmates.
Hobi looked at me, his eyebrows furrowed. "What are you doing Yanna? Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm alright. I just made sure my workmates didn't see me."
"Why would you do that?"
"Because I'm with you. They will soon know that you're our new business partner. None of them are actually my friends. They might judge me."
"Don't worry about what they're gonna say Yanna."
"If only I can." I sighed heavily.
"Where are you taking me Hobi? We already got past the two food places nearest from our workplace"
"Don't you trust me Yanna?I'll take you somewhere different. The food they serve there is great."
"Okay fine I trust you."
He continued driving. A few minutes later, he parked the car. "We're here", he said and helped me out and led me inside. The restaurant is fancy. It is surely a place for wealthy people. The interior design is modern. The things here shouts a lot of money. They surely are expensive.
"Why did you take me here Hobi? I'm trying to reduce my expenses. I'm sure the food here is expensive", I whispered to Hoseok while we are walking towards an empty table for two."What are you talking about Yanna? I invited you here so it's my treat. Don't worry about the bill, it's on me. Just order anything you want."
"What the hell Hobi? You don't have to do this. I am not your responsibility. "
"Well I know I don't have to but I want to. So just eat. Don't worry."
We found a table for us. He pulled out a chair for me. "Take a seat Yanna", he said smiling at me. "Thank you Hobi", I said smiling back at him. I can't with him. He's treating me too kindly. He's too generous.
He sat across me. He called for the waiter. "What would you like to have Yanna?"
"I'll just eat the same food you will order."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
The food soon arrived. He ordered steak for us. Good for me, he has good taste. I actually like steak. "How is it Yanna?", he asked. "The food here is great. You're right."
"I'm glad you like it. Told you so. This restaurant is owned by my friend's family. That's why I took you here."
"They surely are a rich family. You have rich friends."
"Yeah, I met him and became my classmate during high school days. I really hope you can meet him soon too."
"I hope so too."
We continued eating our lunch. Until, he asked about that question that I fear the most. Why does he always put me on situations like this?
"Why weren't you replying to my messages Yanna?" That's it. I hate this life.
"Uhm, I kinda didn't know what to reply", I answered honestly.
"Oh is that so?", he responded shyly.
"Why would I dream of you Hoseok?", I asked him. He avoided eye contact. Awkward. "
"I just thought you might miss me."
"Why would I miss you?", I asked him . I was trying to tease him. He pouted.
"Don't you miss me Yanna?", he asked me still pouting. I can't help it. I laughed at his cuteness.
"Why are you laughing? What's so funny?"
"Nothing, you're just cute. Of course I missed you too Hobi."
"Oh I'm cute?", he asked. Oh shoot! Did I say he's cute?
"Yes, you are but someone is more cute than you."
"Oh who?"
"It's a secret Hobi."
"Okay then. I'll make sure you'll change your mind", he said and winked at me. "Yah, Hobi stop that. Just finish up your meal."
"Fine, fine", he replied with a playful smile.
We continued eating but Hoseok just can't stop teasing me with that playful smile of his. After a few minutes, we finished our meal. He paid the bill. He even gave a tip to the waiter.
We walked outside to his car. "That was good Hobi. Thank you."
"Anything for you Yanna."
We entered the car and he started driving back to my workplace.
"Don't you have things to do Hobi? It's almost 2pm."
"Of course I have some things to do. But, I wanted to have lunch with you."
"You really shouldn't do this for me Hobi. You might get in trouble."
"Trouble? Of course not. I can manage my time. Besides, it's worth it. I was with you."
What did he just say?
"Okay fine Hobi." He just smiled and continued driving.
Soon after, we reached my workplace.
"Here we are Yanna. Don't forget to reply to my messages. Don't you ignore me again."
"Okay, okay sir. I'll remember that", I playfully responded. He just laughed.
"I'll get going now Hobi. Thank you again."
"You're welcome Yanna. See you again soon. Really soon", he said. And with that , he waved me goodbye before driving off.
I checked the time, 1:50pm. I entered the building. I went back to my area. Time passed by and soon it's time to go home. Luckily, I was able to finish all my tasks. I went out of the building and drove off to my apartment.
