Winter has arrived, and the holiday season is approaching. You can see and feel it in the airâfrom the colorful lights decorating every storefront to the subtle shift in peopleâs demeanors. Your colleagues at the office are beginning to fall into the holiday slump, thoughts of shopping for gifts and cooking family meals taking overâand you would be lying if you said that you werenât equally affected.Â
Your holiday plans are simple, but you are looking forward to them nonetheless. The small get-together you have planned is perfect in your eyes, and the fact that your boyfriend will be joining you and your family this year just makes it even better. Itâs the first time that heâll be meeting them, and excitement bubbles up at the thought of your parents growing to love him just as much as you do.Â
A glance at the clock on the wall tells you that itâs 4:50, and you decide that you can afford to clock out ten minutes early. All your work for the day is finished and your email inbox is clean and sorted by priority. Shutting down your computer, you pick up your cellphone, going through the notifications. You scroll through a couple birthday reminders on Facebook, one text from your mom, and one from your best friend, Seokjin. The last one makes you smile, and your smile only grows when you read the contents.Â
[3:42pm] Jin: Make sure you order the chicken tonight! Iâm telling you, itâs the best thing youâll ever tasteÂ
You know exactly what heâs talking about, of course. You and your boyfriend have a dinner date tonight, and Seokjin had insisted that you try out Luxe, a newly opened bistro downtown with rave reviews and a minimum two-hour wait on most nights. Thankfully, you were able to snag a reservation, no doubt due to Seokjinâs connections. Clearly, being a popular food blogger has its perks.Â
[4:52pm] You: You better be right. Iâll be giving you my prompt review after dessertÂ
Not two seconds passes before your phone buzzes in your hand, screen lighting up with Seokjinâs response.Â
[4:52pm] Jin: Ooh, dessert. Iâm drooling just thinking about their cheesecake. But the raspberry tart is amazing tooâŚÂ
[4:53pm] Jin: And the chocolate mousse, god, I could bathe in a vat of that stuff Â
You roll your eyes, unable to stop a laugh from bubbling up.Â
[4:53pm] You: Remind me whoâs dining there tonight, you or me?Â
[4:53pm] Jin: You, unfortunatelyÂ
[4:54pm] Jin: We still on for breakfast tomorrow?Â
You send back an affirmative response before tucking your phone in your pocket. As you do, a little voice in the back of your mind speaks up, pointing out how strange it is that your boyfriend hasnât contacted you all day to confirm your date. You staunchly ignore it, convincing yourself that itâs simply because of his busy work schedule. Heâs always managed to make time for you in the pastââalmost alwaysâ the voice whispers bitterlyâso there was no reason to worry. Besides, he has a tendency to forget about responding to messages. Itâs hardly surprising, after almost a year together.Â
Shrugging on your coat, you pick up your purse and leave your office, waving goodbye to a few of your colleagues on the way to the exit. Your reservation is for seven, so you have plenty of time to get readyâand youâre sure youâll need it, especially with the dress youâre planning on wearing. A smile finds its way to your lips at the thought and stays there, remaining even as you reach your apartment. Seven oâclock canât come soon enough.Â
