"i'm screwed. i don't know which one is her," wonwoo look around and found there's many pretty woman sitting alone in that restaurant.

did they give discounts for female customers today? mom always force aya to go shopping whenever her fav brands do that kind of thing.

he thought. but realizing he's wasting time by uselessly staring at bunch of strangers, finally  he decide to call his mom.

"mom, do you
have her number?"

"jeon wonwoo
i gave it to you
last night."
"you didn't meet
her yet?"
"where are you
now?"

"you did??"
"i don't have any
memory of that
though,"

"ohmygod,"
"chaerin will be
waiting for you!"
"poor girl,"

"why did you care
for her?"
"i'm your son,"

"i will send
her number again,"
"call her and say
sorry,"
"get it?"

"okay okay?"
"love you mom,"

"i love you
too,"
"apologize to her,"

wonwoo pouts and hang up the call. not even minutes, a text from mama jeon arrived. he quickly tap that number and wait.

"hello?"

"hello, is this
kang chaerin?"
"i'm jeon wonwoo,"

"oh shez yes
yes, that's me."
"look i'm stuck
in traffic now,
there's an accident
in front and
i'm really sorry for
the wait."
"i am really sorry
for not contacting you
earlier. i lost your
number."

"oh."
"its okay i just arrived
here,"
"by the way, where
are you now?"

"uhm..
42th street."
"its not far from
the seoul high
school,"

"cool. do you
know the mexican
restaurant nearby right?"

"yes, the popular
one right?"

"you can took the
3rd lane now and drive to
that restaurant first
and we can meet there,"

"wait,"
"okay i'm out
of the traffic now,"
"so meet you
there?"

"okay, great."
"i will take about ten
minutes to get there,"
"see you there,"

wonwoo hang up and unknowingly smiles, while looking at his phone. "strangely, she reminds me of mom,"

he saved the number and keep his phone inside his pocket. after a single phone call with kang chaerin, somehow his nervousness earlier disappeared.

her voice is not soft at all. but something about it make me comfortable with her. i don't know, its just a phone call i can't decide anything yet.

-

chaerin
i'm waiting for
you near the window.
i ordered watermelon
juice for you.
is it okay?

sent. chaerin fix her hair and look outside the window. "thank god he suggested to come here, or else our date will be postponed to 10pm or something," plus, lately she craved for tacos but got no time to come here.

she aware that its still early to say anything but from the phone call, he sounds like a gentleman. his deep, calm and unwavered voice.

"hi,"

a familiar deep, calm and unwavered voice suddenly greets her. chaerin look up and saw a handsome guy with a white buttoned up shirts smiling at her. 

"kang chaerin, am i right?"

"yes, have a seat please."

as a part time webtoon cartoonist herself, she agreed that he looks like he just step out of some romance manga.

while for wonwoo, he believes that every woman is pretty. but this one stands out the most. after his mother.

"i know this is the first time we met, but you're hotter and look younger than i thought," she said. wonwoo was a little bit dumbfounded with that but he just laughed. well she's right anyway.

"thank you, usually only ahjumma patients will say that to me."

"if an ahjumma said to you then its true and you should be proud it," she said. "shall we order now?"

"ah, yes."

then, despite their unwillingness to have a date with each other, they unexpectedly get along well. they talked about their schools, universitites, workplace and all that.

"by the way, i've been itching to ask you this. can i?"

"well it depends, what is it?" chaerin put her chin on her hands.

"your tattoo," he carefully said. well she already said she know boxing from her dad and he don't want to go home with purple eyes tonight. in case he slipped out weird things from his mouth.

"oh, this??" she pointed out to her neck. a little part of her neck until her collarbone ; there's few roses tattoo design on it. "sure! my dad make this one for me."

"i must say, you and your dad are so cool," he said. wonwoo admit it, its hard to not to look at her neck without feeling like a pervert.

"honestly, he's not that cool about me having tattoo." chaerin pursed her lips. "if i tell you this, consider yourself as very lucky. only few people know about my tattoo back story."

wonwoo nods like an elementary kid as a reply. chaerin must say, he's very cute. and its confirmed that wonwoo is an escapee from a manga comic.

"when i was in highschool, i helped my dad a lot with his cafe. somehow a bucket of hot  water splashed on me. the part where tattoo were drew is the part where the scar won't heal so i asked my dad to cover it up,"

"you're so cool," wonwoo got his eyes sparkled when he said that. he always wanted a tattoo but he know he can't stand the pain. besides, the hospital policy and stuff stop him from dreaming to have a tattoo.

chaerin cover her mouth and laugh. she didn't count it, but tonight is the night where she got the 'you're cool' compliment the most. and it all from the same person. jeon wonwoo. 

"i'm serious." wonwoo said, almost pouting  when he sees she's laughing. "i mean, the burn scar and wound is not a pain that everyone can stand. but you manage to stand it. and then, the tattoo. it must be so hurt,"

"yeah. i feel like dying. but when i see the result i'm satisfied with it. my dad is the best tattoo artist in town you know,"

wonwoo nods, agreeing to it. probably because of her friendly personality, they get along easily. but he can't lie, his mom's choice is the best. he never meet someone like kang chaerin, but he like the atmosphere when he's  around her.

after a few more talks, they agree to walk around for some ice cream before heading out to their own place.

while waiting besides wonwoo, chaerin noticed that some girls are checking him out. she leans towards him and whispers, "you gained few fans here."

wonwoo's eyes darted around the park and saw some girls are looking at him. he smirks and whisper back, "i'm that hot, aye?"

"oh please," she laughed. not like he's wrong or anything.

-

"so thanks for tonight. it went well and better than i thought." wonwoo said before she gets into her car.

"yeah. you're like, chill. i like you." she smiles.

"well you're cool like that, i got no reasons to not like you."

he stood there, looking at her. well they got nothing more to say but none of them willing to move away from each other. chaerin look at him and took a few steps forward to give a peck on his cheek.

"i'm going first. drive carefully,"

she waves her hand and get into her car. wonwoo touched his cheek and surprisingly it feels hot for the first time tonight.

"man, she's bold."
