The Shape of Voice (Minatozaki Sana FF) [Completed]

Ten - Day 7: Dinner Date(?)

I walked outside of my office, greeted by Dahyun, walking while waving her hand at me. "Annyeong, unnie." Her gummy smile curving ear to ear, "are you going home already?" She asked as I nodded, immediately answering the question. "Ne, Dubu. Is there anything else that I need to review?" Her head's waving, "arrasseo, see you tomorrow then, Dahyun." I waved at her with a smile, and she did so too.

I walked near the elevator, pressing the button as I waited, humming, and I saw Yuna coming with a cup in her hand. "Oh- PD-nim, annyeong haseyo." Yuna bowed politely as I heard the sound of the elevator, and the door slides open.

I stepped inside with Yuna right beside me, and the door shuts after I pressed the button to the floor I'm going for. "Uh- PD-nim, can you press the button for the third floor." I nodded with my lips curling back.

The elevator got hit with an awkward silence until Yuna opened up a conversation between us. "PD-nim, do you know the guy who was playing the piano in the cafeteria yesterday?" I turned my gaze over at her with my humming signing a question.

"Are you not? You two seem very close to each other." Yuna added as the elevator door slides open, and she stepped outside, waving at me. "See you later, PD-nim." While the door shuts back, and her figure disappearing from my sight. Tatsuya has been the talk of all my coworkers here.

I sighed, turning my gaze at my wrist to take a lot at my wristwatch for the time. Omo, will I have enough time to spend the rest of the day with him at this hour? I can't leave him hanging for longer. I thought as I heard the sound of the elevator and the door slides open.

A familiar figure was standing right in front of the elevator's door, smiling at me. "Tatsuya, how long have you been waiting in front of the elevator?" My lips pursing, and my eyebrows arching. Tatsuya replied with his casual shrugs of his shoulders while his hands kept tuck inside his jeans' pockets.

We walked outside of the building, strolling down the sidewalk as then I saw him taking out his phone from his pocket. He typed something on his phone, and shortly he shoved his phone's screen at me. 'Are you feeling tired today? You seemed to have a long day today.' I read the message on his phone.

I hummed, turning my gaze at his face with his eyebrows arching. "Ahh- gwaenchanh-a." I waved, but his head's waving back and started to type in something again. He glanced at me while his face still fixed on his phone, and suddenly, "what's this Tatsuya?!" Unknowingly he was walking me to a park near my company's building and somehow it is decorated with candles and tables and chairs.

'Consider this as my treat to you, little squirrel. Since you know, we only have three days left until I'm away.' I read the message on his phone, and somehow I can feel my face is heating up.

Tatsuya walked me to it, pulling the chair for me to sit, and then he went for the barbecue grill beside, slightly far away from where I sit. I set my arms on the table, supporting my chin to rest on my hands while looking at his back, cooking at the grill.

He's so handsome. I thought as I saw his side profile while turning his head to the side, and the warm lights from the lightings and candles somehow made the sight seemed romantic in the mood.

Anniyo, stop thinking about that, Sana. He's not like someone who you could date easily. I waved the thoughts away, and I don't how long have I been thinking, but he has finished with his cooking, coming to my direction with two plates of what it seems like a steak with mashed potatoes and a little bit of the greens on the side.

He sets the plates on the table, one for me and wait, all for me? I thought as he sets the other one on my side too. He seems to notice my confused stares, and he chuckled while dragging the second plate to his side.

I pouted at his teasing while I reached for the knife and fork, and started cutting the steak. I took a bite to the steak he made for me, and I hummed at the tasty feel coming from my taste buds.

"Mas-ssida!" I exclaimed as I immediately dig into the meal again, taking in another bite. "Waahh... Tatsuya, I didn't know you are such a great cook!" He breathed a chuckle and smiled at me. "Well, yeah- I've never seen you cook before, but this is really good, Tatsuya. I think you should consider opening a small restaurant." Like usual, he's not answering, but instead, he kept his little smile on his face while he starts to cut into his steak.

I quickly finished my meal, but somehow my tummy is still grumbling. My eyes turned wide, and I felt so embarrassed while his eyes staring teasingly at me. But then, his teasing face turned into a sweet smile, sliding his plate, still with a lot of food on it.

"Are you sure?" He nodded with his lips curling back, and I hesitantly dig into his meal while his eyes fixed on me, trying to eat his meal. I tried to ignore his stares, but I still end up glancing a lot at him, smiling like he's proud of something.

I then saw him taking out his phone, typing on it, and then he slowly shoved his phone. 'Happy birthday, clumsy squirrel. I know today's your birthday and seems like you forgot about it because of your long day at work.' i read his message and hit with truckloads of dumbfounding realization.

[...]

We are now inside the bus, commuting back to my apartment, and I saw Tatsuya swaying his head, heavy with his eyes sleepy. I directed his head to lean on me, and he snuggled his side on my shoulder, setting a comfortable position for him to sleep.

I smiled at the sight of him, leaning his head on me to sleep while my hand cupping his face, gently caressing his side. I looked outside to the sidewalk with the linings of stores and shops, and the lively nightlife of Seoul. What a beautiful day today.

(A/N: Konbanwa, Minna. It's Day 7, everyone. We are getting really close to the ending chapters. Sugokuna...

It's such a fun journey writing this 'Koe No Katachi' story adaptation of Twice. Wow, matteyo. Why am I saying it like this is the end of the book. Iie- iie, we still have three more days, and somehow I'm pumped for the ending chapters because I've prepared a plot twist.

Sou-sou, I'm going to have the plot twist on the ending chapters.

Anyway, have you been enjoying the story? If not, well, at least I do enjoy writing it. 😌

Today's update is kind of late because I had my workout in the evening, and today I spend the rest of my day shopping with my girlfriend.
When I asked her, why does she need more clothes when she already has an abundance of styles of clothes. She said that she's shopping for me, not for her but also she wanted to buy her lip balm because the ones she had is running out.

So, yeah- I'm very sorry for the late update. See you in the next chapter, Janee~)
