Date Advice

       Y/N didn't go to work that day, instead helping SH and Kangwon tidy up the guest rooms.

    SH held up one of the pillows that had been in China's room, sniffing it. "Does this smell like perfume to you?" she asked, tossing it to Y/N.

       "N-Noooo," Y/N said. It did, in fact, smell heavily of perfume. Then, realising what must have happened either on or near this pillow, she tossed it at the wall.

        The next day was a workday, though, and she had woken up with a burning desire to take North on a date. A real one, without China.

       "SH?" Y/N asked as they were on their way back from the Central TV. "C-Can I ask you something?"

      "Of course." The province smiled. "I'm all ears," she joked, stroking the smooth side of her head.

      "I want to take North out on a-a d-date," the human girl confessed, blushing.

       "What?!" SH exclaimed, swerving briefly into oncoming traffic. "Sorry," she apologised, switching back to their correct lane as Y/N shrieked. "I got excited. So what do you need me for?"

       Letting go of the door that she had been clutching for dear life, Y/N sighed in relief. "I need ideas."

      SH thought for a moment. "I think that you should be the one to decide where to take him- it will make it more personal." As Y/N's face fell, she added, "On the bright side, Korea's never been on a date before, so you have plenty of options."

       "Okay," Y/N said. "Can you give me some popular date spots, then?"

         "The Karaoke Bar that we were at on Foundation Day, Mansudae Park, the Geumsusan Taeyang Gungjeon, the Taedonggang Bar, Taste of Italy, Mangyongdae Funfair, the birthplace of Kim Il-sung, Kim Il-sung Square-"

      "What was that last one?" Y/N interrupted.

       "Kim Il-sung Square?"

      "No, before that."

       "Mangyongdae Funfair?"

      "Hm." Y/N gave up. "Right, right." She had an idea. "Is the Taedonggang Bar good?"

       SH nodded, pulling into the Square. "They have good food, and good drinks. Plus it's private. Secrecy-wise, not property-wise. I've never been on a date, either, but I think that it's nice. Really, Korea loves all of the city, minus the Diplo. If you take him there, you're dead."

       "Thank you for the warning," Y/N said solemnly, hopping out of the car. She had no intentions of going back there.

       "Oh!" SH said, as if a thought had just occurred to her. "Do you need any money?"

      "North wouldn't... mind that I pay?" Y/N asked.

      SH gave her a look. "Why would he?"

       "I... don't have any money," Y/N admitted.

      "I can give you some of my allowance," SH announced.

       "No, no, you don't have to do that," Y/N said quickly, raising her hands.

       "I don't mind," SH chirped. "I won't be using it, anyways. Seeing Korea going on a date will be more than enough payment for me. Ah!" she gasped, eyes wide. "We need to get you a new outfit!"
 
       "So people in North Korea care about that kind of stuff, too?" Y/N asked.

       "Of course. And we need to pick up those photos from Foundation Day." SH slapped her forehead with her palm. "Get back in the car- we're going shopping."
