Blast From The Past | Ryeji

[14]

"So you and Yeji..."

"Yup."

"And you guys will be.."

"Yes, tonight."

"And you barely tell me this now?!" Yuna asked in disbelief. I winced and smiled apologetically as I continued to wipe down the tables. I'm guessing Kai told her everything before I even stepped foot into the café. And the whole day she wouldn't stop sending me the stink eye.

"I forgot?" It was more like a question than an actual statement. Yuna rolled her eyes and threw a rag at my head,

"Why didn't you tell me?" She whined out. I scoffed while removing the rag from my head and throwing it to the side.

"Why do I have to tell you when you have Kai to tell you?" I playfully asked with a knowing smirk plastered on my lips. Yuna narrowed her eyes with a blush coating her cheeks,

"T-that's beside the point!" She stammered out at the same time Kai walked out of the kitchen. I looked over at him and pointed at Yuna,

"Kai, tell your future girlfriend to calm down," I teased laughing as both of them began to furiously blush. Kai hissed at me,

"Cut it out Shin or else I'm not helping you choose an outfit for your date tonight," he said with a sinister look which immediately made me silent. Yuna then rolled her eyes,

"Where are you taking her anyways?" She asked. I shrugged,

"Well, I'm planning on grabbing dinner with her in one of my parents restaurants here and then taking her to a carnival," I said, chuckling as Yuna and Kai nodded in approval. Kai wiped a fake tear,

"My children are all grown up," he teased. I playfully rolled my eyes and nudged his shoulder while walking past him and removing my apron.

"Shut up and let's go! I have to pick a perfect outfit," I whined out. Yuna laughed lightly while waving goodbye, not before giving Kai a hug. A meaningful one I might add. I groaned,

"Stop canoodling! I have a date to get ready for."

"Shut it Shin." They both said simultaneously.

With blushing cheeks.

And they call me dense...

Adjusting my long brown coat and tightening my high pony tail one last time, I grabbed another single rose off the passenger seat before exiting my car. I took in another deep breath before making my way up to her front door.

I stood in front and jumped a little and shook my arms and legs, "You got this," I whispered to myself. I cleared my throat and lifted my free hand to knock on the door. I held in my breath as I heard faint footsteps making their way to the door. "Remember to breathe," I mumbled to myself before watching the door slowly open, revealing the most beautiful girl in the world.

The moment she stepped out I couldn't remove the smile off my face. I always had the same reaction whenever my eyes landed on her. She was breathtaking to say the least. She smiled shyly and placed a strand of hair behind her now reddened ear.

"Hey," I breathed out.

"Hi," she whispered. She then scanned my outfit and giggled, "We're matching colors," she pointed out. I laughed and agreed,

"I can see that. You look beautiful Yeji," I said. She looked down and fiddled with her fingers,

"Thank you, you look amazing as always Ryujin," she complimented as she lifted her soft eyes to meet mine. She then looked at my hand and smiled seeing another rose,
