[07 MARCH 2019 | THIRD PERSON POV]

She walked into the café.

She couldn't remember how she got there but she seemed to know where to go.

She suddenly saw Seungcheol at a far table, by the window.

She somehow knew he was waiting for her.

"Alecx!"

He waved at her, calling her over.

She felt weird.

What was she doing here?

She noticed the table centerpiece, a pinwheel spinning.

She realized she was dreaming again.

Smiling, she made her way to join her "date."

"Gosh! What took you so long? I've been waiting!"

It was just a dream so why was he making such a fuss?

Confused, the only thing she knew to do was apologize.

"I'm really sorry."

"You should be. You're the one who set this date and yet you're the one who's late. Ooh! That rhymed!"

She laughed.

"You're cute."

"I know."

"Shit! Did I say that out loud?"

She covered her mouth with her hands, embarrassed at what she just blurted out.

He laughed.

"Now, you're being cute."

He stood and pulled up the empty chair across from where he sat.

He gestured for her to sit down.

Such a gentleman, she thought.

"I already ordered, by the way, I hope you don't mind."

"It's all good. I'm just gonna go order mine."

"I meant, I already ordered for the both of us."

"Ohhh. Alright."

When the orders came, he got her an iced chocolate drink.

She looked at Seungcheol, confused and surprised.

One, it was what she usually orders.

Two, she wondered how the heck he knew, considering it was just their "first date."

She continued to stare at him in amazement.

"What? That's the only caffeine-free drink they have here."

"Uhm, so?"

"You can't drink caffeine. That's bad for your health."

"You're drinking a freakin' Americano!"

"I'm not you."

He shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of his Americano.

She shook her head as she tried not to laugh.

A small smile still escaped her lips, though.

She thought this Seungcheol was adorable.
