Lunch Date Pt. 1

I can't stop shaking. My mind is in a whirlwind right now. Memories of the past, my nightmare and possibly the recent ones are rushing through my head that it feels like it's going to explode. My vision has become a blur and I fall on my hands and knees to catch myself.

I am nervous to go on this date with Tae Oh, but also scared that he won't like the new me that changed a year ago.

I finish getting ready by wearing a big grey sweater with simple denim skinny jeans, my comfortable boots and a flesh pink scarf to keep me from getting a cold. To accessorize, I wore just light pink studs for a touch. And I also wore long sock because it is freaking freezing outside. For makeup, I just did a simple liner on the top lid and some lip gloss and foundation.

The quickest time to get in my whole life, just fifteen minutes. In finish up some little touches when I heard the doorbell rang. I jumped in excitement and nervousness. 'Okay, be calm, Sonya. It is only one date. What could possibly go wrong?' I thought to myself.

I open my door to meet a beautiful bouquet of flowers in my face. I moved back a little to see who was holding and to my surprise it was a grinning Tae Oh.

"Hey, Sonya. Sorry that I'm a little early but I wanted to start our lunch date really early because I want to know what happened in the one year I haven't seen you," he said. His sudden talking pulled me out of trance from the bouquet he got.

"Oh it's nothing. I was just about to finish up and meet you." I said with no hesitation.

He smiled and grabbed my hand. "Well, where do you want to go? It is my treat," he said.

"Hmmm... how about the new restaurant that just opened. I heard it has great food," I answered with a smile.

He nodded and we headed towards the restaurant. I heard from Mir that it was opened not too long ago and I always wanted to go in, but never had the chance. Now it is my dream come true. YAY!

We walk hand in hand down the street. I turned away because I started to blush like usual. 'Damn you, Tae Oh. Look what you do to me.' I thought while smiling and that caught his attention.

"What are you smiling for? Too happy to be holding my hand?" he teased me and that made me blush redder. He towards my direction and he can see the redness in my cheeks. He turns me towards him and put both his hands on my face. "Gwaenchanh-a? Your face is so red. Are you sick?" his sudden worry surprised me. I haven't seen him change his expression this quick.

I shook my head and turned the other way.

"Or... Are you blushing?" his question made me turn around and see him with a creepy yet shocked face.

"A-aniyo," I said stuttering the entire word. Shit, my stutter has come back all because of him. I quickly turned and walked towards the restaurant leaving a laughing Tae Oh catching up.

We finally got there and got a booth seat near a window. I love window seats because I get to see what other people go on with their lives. I kept looking outside and not look at the eyes that were burning to the side of my face.

"What's on your mind, Sonya?" his question made my head turn to him. He wants to know that I have been thinking about him this whole time since we reunited. Well, it looks I have to lie.

"I am thinking about my family. I wonder how they are doing and how are they. I sort of miss them. I wanted to visit them, but I don't have the courage to show my face to them." I look down at my hands when I said that. Suddenly, I see a hand placed on top of both of mine and noticed it was Tae Oh's.

"If you want to see them, take me with you. I want to wonder where you got your beauty from," when he said that, my head shot up to see his sincere eyes. I relaxed a little and nodded in response. "It can also help you clear the situation that happened so many years ago. By the way, have you gone by his grave yet?"

"No. But if I do, I wouldn't bring myself to apologize," I said having my tears come down my cheeks.

Tae Oh saw this and rubbed his thumb across my knuckles and gave me a shy smile that tells me to be the brave girl you are. I smiled back and wiped the tears away.

"Okay, so what do you want? Everything looks good on the menu," Tae Oh said looking up from the menu.

I look through the menu and started to drool. Everything sounded delicious, but one thing stood out to my eyes. Shrimp spaghetti. My eyes sparkled and looked up at Tae Oh. He looks up from his menu and sees my grinning face.

"Found what you want?" he said. I nodded in response and waited for him. He finally put the menu down and looked at me straight in the eyes. I really didn't notice this before, but his eyes are really pretty. Big and brown, like my brothers. The waiter came and we ordered our food and drinks and went back to awkward silence. Tae Oh stares at me intensely which made me squirm in my sit.

"So, what have you been up to in the year I didn't see you?" He asked in curiosity.

"Well, after I got out, I moved here to Seoul because I always wanted to live here and recently in college right now. That's where I met my two best friends; Mir, Suni, and Kimmy. They were the friends I've never had. I found a job that helps pays for the rent. That's pretty much what happened in a year. How about you? What did you do when you disappeared?" I finished off. He looks away in attempt to hide his shady face.

"Well, I..." he was about to say not until the waiter came and brought us our food and drinks. He looked at his food and started eating. He didn't finish his story, dammit.

We stayed in silence for the rest of our meal. I look up at him and wonder:

"What are you hiding, Tae Oh-shi?"

Hey guys, so Sonya had been so confused with Tae Oh and he has been acting a little strange, don't you think? Well, I was also wondering what I should put in the next few chapters? Please reply in the comments and I would read all your replies (literally) and let me see all your great ideas. Thanks 3
