Third Person POV
It had only grown colder these last few weeks which threw Heiji's limited outfit options for the night out of the window. She didn't want to look too bulky, or wear something that wasn't warm enough and she'd catch a cold.
"Is this okay?" She asks her mother, who was standing at the door watching as her daughter ran around frantically.
"Yes, sweetheart," she smiles, laughing lightly at the girls state. "You look lovely."
"I trust you, birth-giver," Heiji points to her, sighing before looking in the mirror one last time. She wore jeans and a long sleeved patterned top, nothing too fancy but the fact it covered her neck was assuring that she wouldn't end up with the flu. "Ready to go."
She picks up her bag, checking for her belongings, putting on her winter coat and proceeds towards the stairs as her mother closely followed.
Her mother was heading to work, so she decided to drop her off at the place she was meeting Sangyeon. Typically, her mother would have had particular views about her daughter dating her manager - then she remembers the men she dated at her age too.
"You know," her mother starts, looking over at her daughter in the passenger seat. "You're like me, you like the older men."
"Mother!" Heiji laughs.
"It's true," she laughs with her, her laughter slowing down as she spoke again. "Your father was five years older than me."
A deafening silence fell over the two. It was rare they spoke about him, but both of the women were highly emotional - they would inevitably cry at the mention of his name.
"I miss him," Heiji says quietly, looking out the window whilst attempting to blink back her tears. She inhales deeply before turning to her mother. "Besides, this guy is only two years older. Not a great difference."
"Still older," her mother points out, her eyes were glossy too. "More experience."
"Don't be so disgusting," Heiji laughs, shoving her mother's arm lightly.
"I'm glad you're getting yourself back out there," she says suddenly, and Heiji felt bittersweet. She was glad too, but she was still nervous. This date meant she was fully attempting to move on, and that was scary.
"Me too," she half-lies, looking out the window. "Just on the left here, mother."
"This part of town?" Her mother looks amazed, the sparkling lights and busy atmosphere made the place look expensive - which it was. "I see a handsome man."
Heiji looks over to where her mother was smirking towards, seeing Sangyeon standing casually outside the bar. He looked incredible, even something her mother couldn't deny, watching as he stood there graciously with his smart clothes on.
