First step towards love

Imai Ara was an ordinary girl living in Osaka, Japan working as an assistant coach in the 'Osaka city Haru University'. She was tall and athletic (being a coach that was a given), having a craze for k-pop and sketching. Her big, brown eyes had only dreamt of meeting the love of her life, Yun Hye- an arrogant member of the famous boyband SOL (Sand of love) living in Seoul, South Korea. Ara had a strong personality but when it came to Hye, she had the softest and weakest heart in the world.

"How about you get up, straight your hair, put some makeup and go on a blind date?" Kiyo said, Ara's only best friend and room mate.

"I don't want to." Ara cried.

"You've been sketching for almost three days. Is this how you spend holidays? We got five days of holidays and you've spent three of them sketching."

"I am okay with spending the rest of them doing sketches too."

"I am not!" Kiyo roared, "I will ask Tatsuo (Kiyo's boyfriend) to arrange a date for you."

"BUT-"

Kiyo rushed in anger slammed the door.

"There's nothing I can do now, I guess." Ara murmured, "Alright..." She clicked the pictures of her sketches, opened Chatwithu (a social networking application) and texted Hye.

ILOVESHYE 🤭: So, I sketched these ( Sent pictures ). They look good but I'm not quite satisfied with them. You know, I could've drawn better if I wasn't being distracted by Kiyo. She cares alot.

"What are you doing?" Kiyo shouted.

"Nothing!"

"Are you texting Hye again? He's not going to see that. Don't waste your time on him. Focus on your own life. Get ready. FAST!"

"I know! I'm not texting him."

ILOVEHYE 🤭: Okay Hye, I have to go now. Kiyo is raged. I have a blind date today. Wish me luck! ❤❤❤

Ara got ready wearing a white floral patterned dress. Tying her brown long hair in a bun.

"His name is Seiichi. I've sent you the address and his picture." Kiyo said.

Ara went to the restaurant. At the corner if the restaurant, a man was sitting wearing a black long shirt, blonde hair, blue eyes, pale face, almost transparent hands (overall an ideal boyfriend material). If Ara wasn't a crazy fangirl, she would've fallen for him way too hard.

"You must be Seiichi?" Ara asked.

"Yeah! Ara, right?" He smiled.

Ara nodded. He stood up and pulled a chair for Ara.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked.

"Nothing. I don't have appetite."

"How about coffee?"

"Okay."

"So you're a football coach? Is it fun?" Seiichi smirked.

"Ah huh.. I enjoy it."

"That's interesting, someone enjoying their job. What else?"

"Well, umm.. I enjoy k-pop."

"Woah! Plus one! I enjoy that too. Particularly?"

"Hye, Sand Of Love."

"Oh! That man! He's so fake. I don't know why girls are mad about him." Seiichi said.

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah! He acts like he cares about his fans but in reality he doesn't GAF."

"If you don't know him, don't talk about him." Ara growled.

"I know him very well. He fought HyunRa just to show that he cares about his fans. It wasn't a big deal but he created a scene just to be in the highlights."

Ara looked at him like she's going to eat him alive. (what y'all call a death stare)

"Oh! So this is about HyunRa? Her bodyguard hit a woman and it isn't a big deal for you?" Ara roared and left.

She went home crying in anger.

"What happened?" Kiyo asked.

"Nothing. I just want to be alone for sometime." Ara slowly closed the door of her room and took out her phone.

ILOVEHYE 🤭: I met him and we got into a fight. He said you're fake but I know you're not. You helped that lady, protected her and I appreciate it. It just makes me sad, you know people saying bad stuff about you. They don't know you and still judge you like everything you do is wrong. You don't deserve that. But don't worry! I'll always be there for you. ❤ FIGHTING! ✊

"We've been your fan's texts daily for almost two years. She continuously texts you daily. What should I do?" Jeon, Hye's assistant asked. "I feel bad for her."

"Give me the phone."
