It isn't originally Joon's plan to go to the company offices on Monday. He wasn't supposed to go back to work until Wednesday, but he tells me that he has some things he needs to discuss with the higher ups in the company. Things that can't wait.
"I realize that our date was originally planned for today, but I will have to postpone it until tomorrow. Not only because I need to go into the company today, but also because I want to take some extra precautions after this weekend." Joon admits to me.
While the necessity for additional precautions makes me somewhat apprehensive I decide to instead focus on enjoying tomorrow. But, since he won't tell me where we are going I still need to ask him a question so I am not completely unprepared. "So, how should I dress for this date tomorrow?" I won't ask him directly where we are going as I am sure he would still like to surprise me in that regard.
"I don't think it matters too much how you dress. But I do think you would prefer to wear comfortable shoes." He punctuates the suggestion with a peck to my lips, which immediately evolves into so much more. Once again I end up being cornered against the wall while he attacks my lips with loving attention. Because we are just inside the front door I don't have to worry about a mirror falling this time. There are a couple of framed prints hanging on the wall, but if they were disturbed in any way I don't notice it. I am too preoccupied with the taste of his tongue and pressure of his lips. He ends up being the one to regain his composure first and pull away from me. "Sorry, Baby, I shouldn't get carried away like that. Especially not when I am only trying to say goodbye to you." He pokes me on the nose making it immediately wrinkle at the sensation. "Remember. Comfortable shoes."
No, worries Joon. I think I have the perfect outfit for tomorrow. Especially the perfect shoes.
I smile up at him coyly, and we both lean in to give each other another peck before officially saying goodbye. "I know you didn't really want to go in today. But, I hope you have a good day regardless, Joonie."
His eyes lighten up a bit and his dimples make a sudden appearance in response to the variation of his name I chose. "I'll definitely try to, Baby. Don't miss me too much." He smirks.
I laugh at that. "Be safe."
He nods. "Always."
About a half an hour after he leaves is when the housekeeping staff begin to enter. I choose to stick around and help Dasom a bit with the cooking. She is directing me around to prep things more than actually cook, but I really don't mind. This is pretty similar to many of the moments I had growing up that I can actually attribute to how I learned to cook myself. Planting myself in the kitchen to absorb the procedures that someone else takes as they cook.
Once she had everything pretty much prepped for lunchtime she shoos me away. "There's nothing more left to do other than actually cook, and it's too early for that."
