SERIES MASTERLIST | PREVIOUS CHAPTER | NEXT CHAPTER
You showed up to the restaurant that Seokmin had sent you, the ambiance was romantic before you had even stepped foot into the building. The sign AZURE STEAKHOUSE glowed dramatically upon approach, you decide to take a step inside completely oblivious to Wonwoo standing right behind you.
There was no doubt that this was a go to date spot in Seoul, couples lined the windows and walls of the space. In hushed whispers they shared their day or whatever pissed them off at work. Before you could approach the hostess you felt a hand grab your shoulder. You whipped around, a cold hand brushing your exposed shoulder.
"Oh. Sorry...I'm Wonwoo. You must be Seokmin's friend?"
"Oh, yes that is me." He smiled at you, a shy quip to his lips. The two of you approached the stand together.
"For 2, under uhh-"
"Wonwoo." The hostess nodded, grabbing two menus and a wine list before leading the two towards their table for the night. The table was situated between two other couples, right up against the wall. Nostalgic photos framed along the wallpaper and the smell of warm pasta wafting from the kitchen.
"So...." You laughed at his awkward yet endearing start, before introducing yourself properly. "I heard you like photography?"
Your dinner lasted for about an hour and a half, you talked about everything under the sun from camera iso’s to music taste. Yet your mind wandered to the man who's taste in everything contradicted even the smallest of things you enjoyed. A reminder that maybe differences were critical.
Once the two of you got cleaned up and left the restaurant Wonwoo suggested walking along the Han River. The lights were dimmed, and an occasional biker or runner would pass by, but the setting was beautiful otherwise.
"Look, I know why Dokyeom set this up."
"Yeah, I figured." You kept your gaze settled on your shoes, the sound of your heels hitting the floor distracted you from having to awkwardly look at him. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault, honestly." Wonwoo walked forward with his hands in his pockets, "I feel like...this might sound weird but-we like too much of the same things."
"You know what is crazy?" You looked up at him this time, eyes widening when you emphasised ‘is’. You stopped in your tracks to gaze over the railing and into the water until you were ready to speak.
"Hmm?"
"I was going to say the same thing. I think we should be friends." He nodded, his small smile never leaving his face.
"I would really love to be your friend."
"Perfect."
