Chapter 3 : D-Day.

Third person point of view

The next morning, Junkyu felt awake but rolled around in the bed for a while. He sat up groaning and looked around listlessly. He yawned. He got out of bed and stretched. He then turned to check the time. He looked at it his clock and his half open eyes opened fully. He forgot to set an alarm for the blind date. " Shit ! "

He cursed picking up his phone and plugged it for charging. He quickly ran to the bathroom. He finished everything and walked out in a towel to pick out a dress. He looked at the ones he had. He was not knowing what to wear. He ruffled his hair in frustration. He carefully looked for something that would be good enough.

He took out dark jeans and looked around for a shirt to match it. He found the dark denim style shirt he had of the same tone. He smiled and put them on quickly. He then went to dry his hair and style it a little. He was done with it too. He finished everything as quickly as possible. He lastly put on his watch and a little perfume.

Junkyu checked himself one last time. He smiled in satisfaction. He checked the time and panicked once again. He picked up his phone, wallet and a mask. He put them in his pockets and went to put on his socks and black shoes. He then walked out and got in the elevator. He let out a breath. He put on his mask as they reached the ground floor.

He walked out and checked the time. He would be late if he took the bus or subway, so he took a taxi. He found one easily and got in. He told the address and they started. He felt a little at ease now that he was on his way. His frown was finally gone. His phone vibrated and he took it out of his pocket. He checked it and it was his mom.

Mom : I hope you still aren't asleep in your room.

Junkyu rolled his eyes at the text.

Junkyu : I am on my way right now.

Mom : That's awesome.

Junkyu shook his head at her excitement.

Junkyu : You won't tell me about him ?

Mom : No. If you want to know anything, ask him yourself. I will only tell you one thing so that you go to the right person. He is really handsome. You will know what I mean when you see him.

Junkyu wondered if he was that handsome that his mom specifically told him. He raised an eyebrow.

Junkyu : Alright.

Mom : All the best.

Junkyu : Thank you.

He put his phone away and looked up. They were currently at a red light. He checked the map and he was still going to take a while. He let out a breath. He just stared out of the window. The signal turned green and they started again. His phone vibrated again and it was Jihoon this time. Junkyu chatted with him.

After driving for a while, the car slowed down. Junkyu looked around to see what happened. He then looked to the front. There were some people gathered and also police ahead. It looked like the road was blocked because of some accident. He checked the time. He was definitely going to be late at this rate.

" I don't think they will clear up right now. Do you want me to take another route ? " The driver asked looking at Junkyu. " Yeah. Please do that ". The other route was going to take 20 minutes more but that was the better choice in their situation. The driver quickly drove to the side before they get stuck there.

They took the other route and Junkyu kept glancing at his watch anxiously. He was more nervous than he initially was. They finally reached the cafe and he was 30 minutes late. He was worried but he hoped the person didn't leave because he was late. He paid the driver and got out not forgetting to thank the driver.

He quickly went to the door. He walked in and there weren't many people but they were there. He took a few steps and saw three men sitting at three different tables. He was able to see one of their faces and he wasn't that handsome that his mom would specify it. He looked at the other two.

One of them was busy with his phone while the other was just sitting idly looking outside. The bell rang and someone else entered. The lady who entered went and sat in front of the man who was busy with his phone. Junkyu was able to confirm who he might have to meet. He took off his mask and went up to him.

He went and stood on the other side of the table. The man sitting looked up. Junkyu was struck for a second. His mom was right. He was very much noticeably handsome. Junkyu never really had an ideal type but he felt like he would say it was this guy from now on if someone asks him about it.

" Who... ? " The guy sitting asked and Junkyu blinked. He realized he was staring. " Ah... blind date... ? " He asked a little hesitantly. The guy stood up quickly. " Yeah. Hello ". He bowed and Junkyu also quickly did so. " Hello ". Junkyu was impressed that he didn't leave and was waiting.

He gestured to the seat. " Please sit down ". " Ah, yes ". Junkyu pulled the chair and sat down. The guy also sat down once Junkyu did. Junkyu couldn't help but think that even his voice was charismatic. " I am really sorry for the delay ". Junkyu said looking apologetic with a small bow. " No, no. It is fine ". He replied.

" There was some accident and the road was blocked. So I had to take another way which was long. That's why I was late ". Junkyu explained. He nodded in understanding. " It's okay ". Junkyu smiled. They just stayed silent for a few seconds. Both of them made eye contact and burst out laughing.

" I am Watanabe Haruto ". Haruto introduced himself and extended his hand. " Nice name". Junkyu said taking his hand and shook it. Haruto smiled. " Thank you ". " I am Kim Junkyu ". They pulled their hands away. Junkyu thought his hands were bigger than his. He looked down at his hand.

" You also have a pretty name ". Haruto complimented and Junkyu smiled. " Thank you ". The silence was about to settle down. " Is it fine if I address you as Haruto-ssi ? " Junkyu asked and Haruto nodded. " You can call me whichever you find comfortable ". Junkyu nodded. " You are very handsome ". Junkyu complimented.

Haruto laughed. " No, not that much ". He said making Junkyu grin. " Aye~ " They both laughed. " You are also very handsome ". Haruto said to Junkyu. " Not as much as you ". Junkyu said and they chuckled. " Would you like to have anything ? Please go ahead and order ". Haruto offered and Junkyu nodded.

He remembered he didn't actually have the time to eat so he didn't have anything in the morning. Haruto picked up the menu and gave it to Junkyu. Junkyu smiled and looked at it. Haruto raised his hand and one of the employees came up to them. " What would you like to have ? "

He asked and Junkyu looked up. " I will take these waffles and a hot chocolate ". He said and gave the menu to Haruto. Haruto glanced at it and looked up. " Please get 2 of those ". He said and the employee nodded and left. Junkyu didn't know what to say. He looked around the cafe as he hasn't noticed it from the time he entered.

" This place is really good ". Junkyu said and Haruto nodded. " Yeah. Their food is also really good ". Haruto said and Junkyu turned to him. " You've been here before ? " Haruto shook his head. " Not much, but I ordered from here a few times ". Junkyu nodded and gave the place one more glance. It had nice vibes.

Haruto spoke up again. " The ones you ordered one of their best sellers ". " Oh.. " Junkyu nodded. He understood why Haruto ordered the same thing. He turned to Haruto. " What else do you recommend here ? " Junkyu asked and Haruto told him a few. Junkyu carefully looked at them in the menu and nodded.

Haruto watched as Junkyu looked at them curiously. Junkyu looked up and smiled. " I should remember it ". He chuckled and Haruto smiled. Junkyu then observed the place once again and even looked out. Haruto smiled looking down. He thought Junkyu looked cute in a good looking way. At least he wouldn't regret coming here.
