First Love

Chapter 28

Tuesday, 6th November - 8.30 p.m.

YO: Jae, are you home?

Jae: I am

YO: Have you had dinner?

Jae looked at the bowl she took out from the kitchen and the rice spoon she was holding. She spent the whole day composing songs and by the time she realized, it was night time and she was really hungry. She still have to go to work at the store later on.

Jae: Not yet, was about to.

Her phone rang afterwards, "Hiya oppa," she greeted.

"Did you cook anything?" he asked.

"No. The landlord always prepares cooked rice for everyone here. I'm feeling lazy to cook anything complex. Planning to eat my quick fix of rice, kimchi and egg. Why?"

"Let's go out for dinner," suggested Yoongi.

"Are you serious? Is it okay for us to go out and be seen?" asked Jae.

"There's a place I know that provides privacy and really takes care of their customers."

"That sounds expensive," Jae commented and looked at her clothes. Definitely not high class nor classy. "I don't have anything to wear to places like that."

"There's no dress code for the place. You have clothes, that's all I care. Unless... you're planning to go without?"

"Oppa!" Jae protested.

"Come on Jae, let's have our date," coaxed Yoongi.

"I have to work afterwards," she asked.

"I know. Come on, let's have dinner and I'll send you to work," reassured Yoongi.

"I work at 1 a.m." Jae pointed out.

"Jae, I know that. Don't think too much. Coming or not?" asked Yoongi,

"Okay, I'll get ready. What time will you be here?" she asked.

"I'm actually across the road," said Yoongi.

"What?!" exploded Jae.

"Go on, get ready. I'll wait for you and I'm not going anywhere," said Yoongi and Jae quickly disconnected the call.

She returned the bowl and the rice spoon at its place and walked as quickly as she could to her room. She should really have a talk with him about showing up unannounced. She was glad that she had at least bathed and washed her hair that late afternoon when she took a break from her writing. What if she hadn't?

She'd be stinky, that's what.

Jae was ready in record time. She wore her shirt and jacket that was not too flashy for work but not too shabby for a high end place either. She then sprinted out and looked for Yoongi's car. True to his words, he was parked right across the building. Jae watched out for incoming traffic as she crossed the road and went straight into the car.

"That was quick," commented Yoongi. "I told you I would wait."

"I hate making people wait," said Jae, fastening her seatbelt.

"Which floor are you staying at?" asked Yoongi, looking at the gosiwon.

"The second floor. The first and the second are for female tenants. Third and fourth are for the males," she supplied.

"You got a window to your room?" Yoongi asked curiously, looking at the building. Only the front part had windows. He couldn't tell much about the side. It was too close to the next building.
