131 First date.

Aaron stood in front of the door of Choi Li Hwa's apartment.

He was wearing a black snakehead printed t-shirt with navy blue ripped jeans, classic black and white all-stars converse sneakers.

Aaron is going on a date with Choi Li Hwa.

It's his first date ever!

Just as Yong-Hyeon suggested since Li Hwa has work due, Aaron is going to take Li Hwa to watch a movie together and have lunch later after the movie.

It's nothing fancy but it's alright, Aaron doesn't want to make Li Hwa uncomfortable on their first date.

They already know each other to an extent but today they will talk about themselves a bit more on a personal level and try to have a fun, relaxing time.

Taking a deep breath, Aaron rang the bell of the apartment.

A couple of minutes later, the door opened and Choi Li Hwa greeted Aaron with a smile on her face.

Choi Li Hwa is wearing a light blue angry bunny printed t-shirt with navy blue ¾ jeans and leather flat sandals.

Seeing Li Hwa's smile, Aaron's brain short-circuited.

He was stunned at how beautiful she looked even though she was wearing casual clothes.

The light makeup Li Hwa did highlight her natural beauty further.

"You look beautiful!" Muttered out Aaron absentmindedly staring at Li Hwa's face.

Hearing the compliment from Aaron, Li Hwa blushed.

"Uhm, you look beautiful too. I mean handsome!!!" Replied Li Hwa, trying to compose herself.

Her heart was beating fast, going Doki-Doki from Aaron's compliment as well as how handsome he looks.

"I got ourselves, two tickets of the new superhero movie that is in theatres now. Also after the movie, we can go to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Yong-Hyeon told me that you have work due, so I didn't plan anything else. If it's alright with you then we can do anything you want later for our date. Is this okay? Or should we do something else?" Asked Aaron nervously, staring at Li Hwa.

Hearing the plan for their date, Li Hwa was surprised.

She was actually looking forward to watching the movie for months and was thinking of taking Yong-Hyeon sometime next week.

Knowing that Aaron planned to watch the movie together for the date that she was expecting to watch for months made her feel excited and kind of happy.

"That's good, I was planning to watch that movie for months."

Smiling, Aaron breathe a sigh of relief thinking Yong-Hyeon's idea kick-assed!

Aaron didn't know what to do if Li Hwa didn't like the movie. It would have been awkward sitting for 2 hours watching a boring movie.

"That's good then, it was actually Yong-Hyeon's idea. To be honest, I'm completely clueless about dates." Aaron doesn't even know why he confessed. His mouth was running on its own.

He was kind of nervous about what might happen today.

But somehow Aaron feels that today, he just want to be honest and be himself to Li Hwa.

Widening her eyes in surprised, Li Hwa asked "Clueless? Don't tell me it's your first date?"

Nodding, Aaron replied, "Yes, first date eve!."

"Wow, I truly didn't expect that it's your first date! You're so handsome and friendly, I at least thought you have been to a couple of dates before."

"I'm not friendly to everyone. I'm actually a quiet person and not sociable. I only have few friends and they are very dear to me. Being honest with you, I was really surprised at myself that I helped Yong-Hyeon back then. Why I did it? I don't know."

"Is that so? I don't see that when you are with us though. You are sociable, friendly and an interesting person to talk with."

The two started talking until they were interrupted by Yong-Hyeon.

"My God! You two were supposed to go watch a movie and talk later in a restaurant or a park. Not in the hallway of the apartment building!!!"

Startled, Aaron and Li Hwa looked back and saw Yong-Hyeon looking at the two of them with judgemental eyes.

"Get going, you two!" Said raising his voice.

He stepped outside of the apartment and locked the door.

"I will go hang out with big sister, Aurora. So, mom, you don't have to worry about me. As for you? I will give you hell if you make her cry!!!"

"Yes, boss. I hear you fine! I will not make your mother cry. I promise!" Aaron giving a comical salute to Yong-Hyeon, turned to Li Hwa.

"Then, shall we get going?" Asked Aaron to Li Hwa, extending his hand to her.

Taking Aaron's hand, Li Hwa turned to Yong-Hyeon.

"I will be back soon, so don't disturb them too much!"

"I'm a good child, mom. I never disturb anyone unless they piss me off first!"

Rolling her eyes, Li Hwa said goodbye to Yong-Hyeon.

Aaron and Li Hwa soon went to watch the new movie in the theatre for their first date.

While on the journey, they talked about themselves more.

Slowly, bit by bit they were getting close to each other.

~~~

After the movie, Aaron and Li Hwa were sitting opposite to each other in a restaurant.

"What would you like?" Asked Aaron giving Li Hwa the menu card.

"Hmm, I think we should go with the fondue. We are lucky that it's today they are making it. It's their once a month special, so you can only have it once a month here. It's really good and I love it!"

"Then fondue it is!"

Ordering fondue with bread, roasted potatoes and eggs as sides. Aaron ordered the dish.

While waiting for the dish, Aaron was thinking about the talk about the two of them.

They had a great time together today and talked about themselves a bit more.

They also revealed a few things about their family.

When Li Hwa heard that Aaron was actually from the Blood family and the only son of the patriarch of the Blood family.

She was shocked!

Li Hwa was kind of sad hearing, Aaron, that he is a Blood.

Aaron noticed it, he understands the weight of the Blood family prestige and reputation.

He knows that Li Hwa will be uncomfortable with it and will feel inferior to Aaron.

But he assured Li Hwa that he may be a Blood but he dictates his own life.

The Blood family has little ties over him. If it weren't for his parents and sister, Aaron would have already left the Blood family.

Even though Aaron did his best to make Li Hwa accept that the Blood family will not be an obstacle for them.

Li Hwa still felt uncomfortable thinking about the Blood family.

"I like you, Li Hwa! I'm falling in love with you, the more I spend my time with you." Suddenly, Aaron spoke up startling Li Hwa, snapping her out from her thoughts.
