I don't know why I was freaking out over my outfit. It wasn't like this was a date. It's just an outing with friends.
And outing where I intended to introduce Antieno to my friends.
Bottom line is, this isn't a date.
I need to chill. Did it really matter a whole lot what I looked like? I already know he likes me just the way I am. Except I know he'll be dressed like a whole full course meal.
"Relax Haya. You look adorable," Sora assured. A gentle hand soothing down my arm. "Just the perfect mix of pretty without overbearing on the cute."
"I thought this wasn't a date," Hyejin said. Lying on the bed, buried up to her head in the clothes I'd tossed out, she sounded bitter.
Exchanging a concerned look with me, I and Sora turned to her.
"Jin-ah?"
"I still can't believe I agreed to this! This is absurd. The mans a murderer. Does it really matter how hot he is or how much like a deep ocean his hair is or how smooth and soft like melted chocolate he sounds?" She ranted before turning her words to Sora. "And we just let her gallivant around with that man like there are no consequences to her actions."
Sora sighed, eyes flicking up to mine with worry. Biting my lip, I looked at the ground. This has been an ongoing argument between us since this morning - when I dropped the news on her.
"Jin-ah-" I stared but she cut me off. Sitting upright with a jerk - sending my clothes flying all over. Her eyes held fire in them as she stared down at me.
"No! Don't 'Jin-ah' me. He is dangerous Eunha. What part of that do you not understand? I don't care that you think bull of all the rumors surrounding the man, but even you have agree that all the rumors started from a seed of truth. And now you want to introduce him to everyone?"
I walked over to the bed. Sitting down as I took her hand in mine. Her glare hardened, however she didn't pull away.
"And those rumours has been circling since your grandmothers time, maybe even older. Tio isn't a hundred years old. He's still in his twenties. Barely 2 years older than me. If their ever was a seed of truth to those rumours it was never about Tio. His family maybe... but Tio is all alone."
"The apple never falls far from the tree."
"You aren't who your parents are. People can change. Give him a chance. Please,"
Eyes pleading with hers to just, this once, do this for me. Clasping her hands between mine, I wasn't above begging her if push came to shove.
Before she could reply there was a knock on the door.
"Ladies, your ride is here." Hajun's voice shouted.
"They'll be right there Honey!" Sora called to hajun before turning to us. "Jin-ah stop being a brat and behave yourself. You already agreed to meet him, that's the only reason Eunha even invited him. Now stop giving her such a hard time and get going."
