After Dark (Prompts)

Personal Taste - 7

(Reposted)

Hoon felt like he was walking on air.

This day officially marks his one week of being with Joo In-ah and he wanted to have some celebration. He knew it was not a big thing like 100 days or those things but he did not want this day to pass.

He arrived at work early, went to her office to place the pastries and flowers he bought for her. He didn't want to bring the coffee yet because it might already be cold when she arrived so he deferred that. He would also use that excuse to see her when she arrived.

The day was not lost on In-ah as well, having the 'milestone' marked in her calendar from the moment they first kissed. Wanting to look particularly nice that day, she fixed her hair in a style that was different from how she usually wore it at work, had light make up and chose a dress that she felt good in.

To her surprise, she saw gifts on her desk when she arrived at work. The flowers came with a note which she opened up excitedly.

One week of kissing you. I must be the luckiest man. Happy 7 days to us, In-ah!

In-ah smiled and held the note close to her chest. Her heart had not yet calmed down when she heard a voice from her doorway call her name. Turning, she smiled at her visitor.

"Good morning!" Hoon walked in holding up a coffee cup. Setting the cup down, he stood at the opposite side of her desk. "You look very pretty today."

In-ah blushed. "Thank you, I wanted to look special for my date."

"You have a date?!" he asked, eyes widening in surprise.

She giggled. "Well, I haven't asked him but I was hoping that if I looked nice, he would have a difficult time saying no."

"Oh," was all Hoon said but his dimples started showing. "Good plan. If I were the person you'd ask out, I wouldn't be able to decline an invitation from you."

"That's good to hear," she said. "Because YOU were the person I was hoping to ask out."

Hoon blushed. Adjusting his collar and trying to hide his grin, he mumbled, "Joo In-ah-ssi, you make my heart flutter."

In-ah smiled. "Are you free tonight, Mr. Lee? Because I would really like to go out on a date with you."

Hoon beamed at her, his smile so bright that it made her heart feel warm and fuzzy. "I would love to have a date with you, Ms. Joo."

In-ah returned his smile. "Can I kiss you as well?"

Hoon frowned and crossed his arms. "Oh wow. You're asking a lot." Sighing, he nodded, "Well, if we must."

In-ah laughed. "I really want to kiss you now."

"Me too," he admitted.

"Let's make up for it later, okay?"
