It was one of those relaxed summer evenings, were the temperature was actually pleasant and the air didn't tried to burn your lungs.

Happy that I finally could leave my cube in the 15th floor of the company I was working for, I stepped in the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor.

First stop the ice cream parlor across the street.
Being, at least in summer, a regular customer I normally entered the parlor at 8 pm and would order two scoops of vanilla ice cream in a cone. By now my ice cream was already ready for me to pick it up. I only had to pay for it.

"There you go beautiful." The ice cream guy smiled at me and handed me my ice cream in return for the money.

"Thanks." I smiled kindly and walked happily over to the bus stop.

Sometimes my mom got worried that I would gain to much weight and not get a man because of that, but I think if you can't except that I'm treating myself after a hard day in a building with stuffy air and hundreds of other people, well then I guess we're not destined to be with each other. Get yourself a partner who supports your love for food despite all those beauty standards society forces on you but you never gonna reach anyway. Thinking about it maybe I should just date the ice cream parlor guy he would support me definitely.

Second stop the café at Han River.
Well for the café I was more or less a regular customer since I wasn't there everyday but today I decided it was the perfect day for iced orange tea. Still in a good mood I stood in the line in front of the counter, waiting for my turn.

"Good evening Miss. What would you like to order?" A girl asked me.

"An iced orange tea to go please." I answered smiling.

"One moment please."

The girl turned around and I watched her getting my tea ready. She handed it to me and I paid before I left as well, taking a sip of the ice cold drink in my hands. It was really refreshing. For a while I stood outside the café, looking at the slowly setting sun over the busy city before I remembered to change my black heels for light brown ballerinas. Way more comfortable than my heels.

Third stop the Chinese street food truck near the park.
I was carving for a noodle box so I decided to eat Chinese today. I mean sure I had some ice cream before but hello you can't stave of hunger with ice cream. Also I needed to share my food with my best friend anyways.

Fourth stop the park.
My best friend and I met up at our usual spot in the park. He was already sitting there under the old willow while looking at his phone, propably stalking his crush who's also his coworker.

"Stop stalking her and finally ask her out." I smiled at Hongjoong and sat down across from him on the meadow.

"Says the one who is watching over their crush for almost three months." He gave back teasingly and took the chopsticks and noodle box out of my hands. "Also how can you be sure she likes me back?"

"Well I'm glad you asked." I smiled and he rolled his eyes at me, knowing to wich Meme I was referring. Quickly I grabbed his phone and looked through his social media's. "Okay honestly there isn't much proof, but enough. So let's see, she liked everyone of your pictures, follows you on every social media you have and just texted you and asked for a date."

"What?" That poor guy nearly chocked to death on a noodle and me being a great best friend started to laugh.

"Kidding she didn't but come on you're Kim Hongjoong. Who could resist you?"

"Good point Y/N." He smiled suddenly confident after he recovered from his near death experience with a noodle.

Fifth stop downtown Seoul.
It was actually the complete opposite direction of my apartment but you do crazy things when you're crushing on someone. I could hear his voice even fifty meters away from where he was actually standing. A voice so sweet and soft that I wished he would sing me to sleep. Hongjoong, who noticed that I got nervous to the point I was about to turn around and go home, put an arm around my shoulder and dragged me with him to the crowd. He moved us through the people until we were standing in the first row and honestly it was the scariest experience I've ever made. I never managed it to catch a glance of him but now I could see him completely.

"You okay Y/N? You look like you're about to faint." Hongjoong asked concerned.

"I am good... just..."

"Nervous?" He asked and I nodded. "Welcome in the world of facing your crush. Not that easy huh?" He smiled in a teasing yet pitiful way.

"I take everything I ever told you about finally asking her out back." I wispered with a guilty look on my face.

Hongjoong laughed and squeezed my hand lightly to tell me that it was totally fine. My gaze darted back on the handsome street musician five meters away from me. Honestly the nearest I ever got to him. He reminded me of someone but I couldn't come up with who he reminded me of. Caught up in my thoughts of finding out who he reminded me of I suddenly got slightly pushed towards him.

"What areyou trying to do?" I asked panicked.

"He asked for someone to sing Dinosaur by AKMU with him and you know the song by heart." He smiled sweetly.

"Bold of you to asume I can hit the notes."

"Bold of you to asume I've never heard you singing the song."

Yeah that was really bold of me to asume because we hung around each other ever since elementary school. He slowly pushed me a little bit further and quickly got back in the crowd.

"Ah finally." The street musician smiled at me and gestured me to stand next to him.

Not wanting to embarrass myself I gathered all of my confidence and made my way beside him. Nervously I played with the hem from the sleve of my light blue blouse. My eyes searching for the only one familiar figure in the crowd. As I spotted him he held his thumb up and quickly made a photo of me and my crush and the smell of sweet revenge reached my nose. He's going to regret it. 

"Hey ahh... you ready?" My crush asked me and I nodded quickly, hoping my poor heart wouldn't burst any second due to how fast it was beating.

"You're pretty good at singing." He complimented me after most of the audience, including Hongjoong, had left.

"I'm San by the way." He smiled at me.

Jesus a whole cute smile dedicated to me. Someone mop my puddle up cause I'm melting. The name fitted him and his adorable smile quite well in my opinion.

"Oh ah Y/N. Nice to finally meet you." I said and actually wanted to throw myself off a bridge.

Nice to finally meet you? How to make it obvious you're kinda stalking your crush 101.

"Finally? So you come by a lot more often? Wait you're the person that normally sits on the bench over there." He noticed and pointed at my usual spot.

"Uhm yeah that's me." I smiled smiled shyly, mentally dying because he noticed me. "How come you still noticed me there?"

"Y/N I would never miss to notice a beautiful person. Especially not when they're outside the regular crowd."

Smooth San. Very smooth.

Violently blushing I looked at him, unable to say anything.

"So how does a date sound?" He added with a confident wink.
