Strings & Stitches

Chapter 19

The Chinese woman had one glance around the bedroom, taking in the way everything was scattered on either the bed or the floor, probably all of the clothes that Bora owned, and then turned back to the brunette woman, her expression judging. "I think I might be too sober for this..." She sighed, not being able to find a place to even sit. This would definitely take time.

As per usual with someone like Bora, that comment earned her a hit on the shoulder. "You came here to help, not to make things more difficult" she got scolded.

"Well it's not my fault most of your clothes are the ones you steal from the club outfits" Handong shrugged, before something caught her eyes, walking towards the bed while trying not to step on anything that was on the floor and took the dress in her hands. "What the hell even is this?" She observed the dress in her hands, swirling it around in the air and trying to find the part where it would cover your body. Which was pretty non-existent.

The younger woman snatched the dress out of her hands and neatly put it on the bed. "That's for performing. And I like that dress so keep your insults to yourself" Although she did understand. The article could barely be considered a dress.

"Okay, okay. Just... show me what you had in mind so far. You must have at least a few outfits in thought? Well if not... I think we could just go for quick shopping"

Shopping wasn't really an option at the moment. Bora hadn't worked for a few days with the whole operation and she would have to pay the hospital bill. She didn't want to take any financial risks right now. "Well... everything I considered an option is here on the ground" she showed that there were still a few things inside of the wardrobe that she had already ruled out. Maybe she shouldn't have said that though considering the dress Handong had just singled out.

This time, though, Handong didn't say anything else about that dress, just giving Bora a teasing glance before getting to work and searching for something decent. After a few minutes, she decided to ask. "Why don't you call and ask her how the date will be? She should at least give you a hint or something"

"I don't want to ruin the surprise for myself" Bora admitted, honestly wanting to see what Siyeon would organize for her. That girl was an enigma. But with Handong being here, she got an idea, sending a text to Siyeon. "There. I told her to send the tip to you" That way she wouldn't know it herself yet.

Handong raised her eyebrows, a smirk appearing on her mouth. "Okay, I like that privilege" She said with a chuckle and took her phone out of her bag, putting it aside so she wouldn't miss the message that didn't take too long to appear.

After sending the message to Handong, Siyeon put her phone away and looked at herself in the mirror. She had just taken a shower to wake herself up a little better.

Yesterday was still fresh in her mind, feeling rather proud of herself. Not only had she admitted her 'feelings' to Bora and dared to ask her on a date, but she also came clean about knowing her profession.

However, now she needed to execute the date with her and that was something that, again, gave her a lot of stress. It couldn't be anything too tiring since she had to work tomorrow, but she also wanted to make it special. Even more so after they finally had the chance to kiss again yesterday.

The plan that she had for the date wasn't as usual as people would expect from her, but she actually couldn't wait to try it out with Bora. She hoped that the girl didn't have any allergies to flowers, though, now that would be a problem.

Her date idea was one that she had previously discussed with Minji who was already surprised by it. So Bora would definitely be surprised. Maybe it wasn't exactly the most intimate thing, but wasn't the important part to spend time together? After the visit, they could still go home and grab something to eat after all.
