A date, but not just any date; a date with Changkyun.
Usually people go on dates and then have sex but of course my life is backwards. I finish curling my hair making Mahogany squeal.
Mahogany: You look so pretty! Me: Am I not pretty everyday?
She slaps my head playfully.
Mahogany: Are you nervous?
Yes.
Me: No, it's just Changkyun. Mahogany: But it's not the normal horny Changkyun, this is the Changkyun that asked you on a date!
I smile, she's right.
Holy shit she's right.
This isn't me getting fucked in a closet or anything, this is going out to dinner and having to have an actual conversation that doesn't consist of "harder, "faster."
Mahogany notices my panicked face and giggles.
Mahogany: Relax would ya? I'm sure everything will go fine!

This is awkward.
Changkyun pushes his food around, while I stare around the restaurant. I don't think we've ever had a real conversation before.
Changkyun: So. Me: So? Changkyun: How's school?
I blink.
Me: It's alright, you? Changkyun: It's okay.
Silence.
Me: Why is this so painfully awkward? Changkyun: I don't know, it's been forever since I've been on a date. I don't want to say anything to mess it up.
I smile a little.
Me: You must've given this a lot of thought. Changkyun: Of course I did, contrary to your belief I'm a good guy.
Eventhough he has asshole tendencies, I've never denied there maybe some good in him. Honestly I'm just as bad, people with glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Changkyun: I didn't think my first date would be so awkward. Me: First date?
He nods.
Changkyun: If you haven't noticed I'm not really the wine and dine type. Me: Well duh, but you've never been on a date before? Like ever?
He shakes his head.
Changkyun: Consider yourself special. Me: You need to choose your words better!
He chuckles.
Changkyun: I'm sorry, I meant you are special. Me: More special than Violet? Changkyun: Oh? So you were jealous. Me: Not jealous! Just concerned. Changkyun: Mhm.
His hand brushes against mine across the table.
Changkyun: You don't have to worry about that anymore. Me: I wasn't worrying! Changkyun: Did you not just say you were concerned? Make up your mind woman. Me: Shut up.
I feel my face and it's a bit warm, what the hell is happening?
Changkyun: But I mean it, you don't have to worry about a thing anymore.
I've never heard him sound so serious.
Changkyun: Usually people go on dates then fuck. We're superior because we did it backwards. Me: Are we superior or just whores? Changkyun: Whats wrong with being a whore? Me: True.
The rest of the night the conversation comes much easier. We're both a laughing, smiling mess. I haven't felt like this in a long time.
Once he takes me back home I feel like I'm walking on air until I open the door and Kihyun is sitting on the couch with a pissed off expression.
Kihyun: And where were you?
