“I’ll do it, but only if we get to go on a real date later.”
━ ♡ FAKE RELATIONSHIP STARTERS – ACCEPTING! ; MYUNGSOO FT. MICAH.
“ seriously? ” well – that was unexpected, not necessarily the fact he agreed, it’s the second part that got micah feeling confused & in a state of thinking she’s simply heard him wrong. “ i mean .. suuure. sure, if that’s what your help costs me.. sure. ” the slightest hint of a smile appears on her features, arms crossing above her chest as her eyes wander over him, nodding. she isn’t checking him out, simply trying to decide what she’d make him wear, what her parents would LIKE to see him wear. maybe a suit, maybe leaving out the tie to not make his appearance too stiff & serious.
“ uh – so, about the thing. it’s a birthday, my dad’s birthday to be exact. he’s turning 55, the whole family’s gonna be there, his friends, my mother’s friends, my sister & her PERFECT husband. ” a roll of her eyes to really make sure he knows just how much micah hates her, miss always perfect. the perfect life, the perfect house, the perfect job, the perfect husband – and the perfect child is currently on its way! next to her micah was .. nothing, a mere nothing. animal caretaker, small apartment, no boyfriend – there’s NOTHING she really has going for herself, the white lie originally happened in an argument, her mother comparing the sisters & telling micah that it was time to get married, to get settled somewhere, & maybe take on a job that wasn’t as ‘ tragic ’ & ‘ unimportant ’. her words always hurt, & thus micah HAD to tell about her brand new, super handsome, well-mannered, educated boyfriend. who would’ve thought she’d invite that guy to her father’s birthday party?
“ i appreciate that you do that, really. on that note, in case my mother asks – we met in the park as i was walking my dogs, you invited me for coffee, & it went from there. that’s all she knows, you can make things up as you go, she’ll ask a lot, i believe. ” an apologetic smile is directed his way, soft laughter quickly following. oh right, there was something else. the second part of his words that she was sure weren’t actually what she thought she heard. “ about that .. real .. date .. thing. are you serious? where do you even want to go? WHY do you even want to go? ”
