The One That Got Away-s.rj x c.js

We stayed at the building until 8 pm. I made sure that everyone understands the choreo. They have vocal training tomorrow and special Korean class for the foreigners. So I don't have to come tomorrow since they won't have any dance class in the afternoon.

"What do you wanna eat?" We strolled around the streets searching for a good place to eat.

"Something spicy." I answered while thinking of spicy braised seafood with some kimchi and noodles.

"Aha! I know a place." She held my hand and we walked faster. We stopped in front of an old-looking restaurant.

"They serve good spicy foods. Kath and CL had brought me here before." We entered and a jaw-dropping interior design welcomed us. It may look old on the outside but it looks so amazing inside. I like the style.

We took a seat at the table on the corner and a man came to us.

"Can I take your orders?" He said and gave us the menu. I scanned it and saw the food I am craving for. After saying my order, Vin followed.

"You love seafoods that much?" I quickly nodded my head. Just the thought of those big lobster and crab feet soaked in spicy sauce is making my mouth water.

"I love foods! I'd rather receive food more than anything!" I said dreamily.

"Noted." She said in a low voice.

We talked about some stuffs happened through the day while waiting for our foods. Soon after, it was served.

"Thank you!" We said in unison. These mouth-watering foods are seriously a big mood. I took a picture of it. Not minding a certain blue-haired girl at the background.

I posted it in one of my SNS accounts with a caption of 'Thank you for the food!' before turning it off to focus on my food.

"Thank you for the food! I'll surely enjoy these!" I said as I thanked God for these blessings in front of me. I digged in immediately. Their spicy braised seafood here is one of the best seafood recipe that I have tasted. I can't help but to praise the chef in my mind.

"Thank God!" I exclaimed after burping silently. I looked at the girl in front of me who's busy playing on her phone. She looks so attractive as heck.

I grabbed my phone and took a picture of her. I set it as my background wallpaper.

"You're finished?" She asked. I nodded and smiled at her.

"I'm glad you enjoyed the food. I shall thank the chef for making such enjoyable foods for my girl." I blushed when she said the last phrase. She's making my heart flatter.

"Shall we head out now? You're so red, babe." I swear I can never get used to her calling me that.

"I—it's nothing." I stuttered.

"Sure?" I nodded as an answer. She stood up and paid the bill at the counter.

"How much was it?" I peeked at the receipt they gave her and calculated how much food I ate while making our way outside.

"Here." I offered her some cash as a payment for the food I ate.

"Don't pay me." She said but I insisted.

"Look, I have told you before. I can pay so I will." I gave her the money and she accepted it.

"Why am I so powerless when it comes to you?" She asked with the 'unbelievable' look on her face. I just giggled at her.

"Because I can make you weak." I said and kissed the edge of her lips. I saw her gulp with my words.

"Don't be too powerless when it comes to me. I might take your strength away." I said and smirked at her. I held her hand and pulled her to walk. We reached my house in no time.

"I'll be heading home." She said and patted my head.

"I love you." She whispered and hugged me.

"Hmm." I replied. "I love you too. But remember these words, the next time I say 'I love you' to you. It means that I'm officially accepting you as my lover." I continued. She nodded and kissed my forehead before walking home.

I opened the door and Mama with the other maids welcomed me. They're cleaning some mess.

"You're early today." I smiled at Mama and headed upstairs. I'm exhausted.

I opened my room door and quickly washed up to change my clothes. I slipped onto a pair of comfy pyjamas and jumped to my bed.

I stared at the ceiling. My body slightly hurts. Thank God, I don't have to do much work tomorrow aside from my training. My phone rang which caused me to almost fell from my bed.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Yuri?"

"Oh shoot, I forgot about it again. I was busy, I'm sorry."

"You'll come tomorrow?"

"Sure, sure." I ended the call right after. Gosh, how can I forget it. I have forgotten the session twice. I face palmed. So many things are on my mind, I totally forgot about my session.

These days I've been busy regarding my career and my sport. Nayeon-unni's album will be released in 2 months. Also the entertainment is giving me partial payments for being a part-time instructor at their company. I'm making money for myself while enjoying the things I like. I feel happy but my body is slightly tired because of the sudden training we got earlier. I haven't practice for a while. The last time I practiced was when me and Jay had a sparring.

Regarding my art, the exhibit will be held this upcoming Friday. I won't be around the exhibit since I have a training. But the council will take care of it for me. They just asked me for some description regarding that painting of mine. I'll supply them by tomorrow, after my session with Miss Kim. It was inspired by myself. It's a drawing of a girl sitting alone in a room. Shards of unknown glass are stabbed in her back and she's facing the camera while smiling. It was picked because this year's exhibit will be about mental health awareness. It may come as a weak topic or cliché but it's an important knowledge that everyone must know.

Mental health is important for everyone just like physical health. Being physically healthy is nothing if one's mind is not healthy. It's one of the sensitive topics among youngsters that might sound irrelevant to the older generations. Understanding one's mind is seriously difficult if they don't want to be understood. So if one have a problem regarding their mental health, they must help themselves too for them to be helped.

I sighed at my thoughts. Art is really something. It can portray anything depending on the viewer. With my art, it may come out pitiful or amazing depending on how the audience will see it. I sighed once again. These random thoughts I have.

I shook my thoughts away and grabbed my phone. Vin's messages appeared.

'I wanna see you again even if we just parted ways.'

'I want to be with you always.'

'Good night, I love you.'

Her last message was enough for me to calm myself and drifted to sleep.
