                    Taylor Anderson:
“A date?” Liam made a grumpy face,
“Hmmm” I nod and turned to leave,
“Wait, who are you going on a date with?”
I sighed for the umpteenth times,
“A friend of course, come on Liam, why are you asking like I ask you the names of everyone you go on dates with?”
“I have to look out for you Taylor” He stated possessively and stood up
“You don't have to worry about me Liam, I don't think you have to look out for me, cause I'm big enough to take care of myself”
“Alright I get all that but then can you tell me what time you'll be coming back home, cause mum and dad strictly warned me to look after you okay?”
“Okay, maybe 8 or 9PM” I shrugged
“Come on Taylor don't you think it's too late” He growl looking frustrated,
“I'm leaving Liam”
I angrily walked outside of the house and was surprised to see Charles standing outside the morning sun waiting for me,
“Charles?” I called as I hurried up towards him,
“Taylor?” He called excitedly and pulled me into a warm hug,
“Awwww” I pouted, hugging him back
“You actually came Taylor” He pulled back smiling at me,
“Wooow, your eyes completely disappear when you smile” I tease him
“Of course most Asians are like that, we have tiny eyes
“Ohh it's cute” I smile
“Thank you, you're ready right?”
“Of course let's go” I said to him and was about to open the car door for myself when he moved faster and opened it for me,
“Thanks”
“You're welcome”
I sat down on the car waiting for him to close the door, but then he kept on holding onto the door while he looked at me with a smile,
“You look so gorgeous today” He complimented me,
“Aww thank you” I thought I was the one that should be blushing but Charles was blushing so damn hard, he closed the car door and got into the car, he was so fair cause he's skin is so white, so it's literally easy to notice that he was blushing, his ears were so fucking red
I popped my head a little bit to the side staring at him, and that made him blush so damn hard
“Are you blushing?” I teased
“Oh come on Taylor stop teasing me” He whined cutely,
“But you're so cute I can't just help it” I smiled so hard than I have ever did in my entire life,
“Okay, okay, I won't tease again, so where are we going?”
Immediately I said that, his face lit up,
“I told you about my favorite Korean spot right?”
“Hmmm” I nodded excitedly
“I promise to take you there so you can try our food, you're going to like it I promise”
“Okay I'm up for it” I giggled happily and he drove off.
“Charles?”
“Hmm”
“Do you have siblings?”
“No I don't, do you have?”
“No I don't”
“Oh okay, you already knew I'm from Korea, what about you?”
“Sweden”
“Wow, how did you end up in America?”
“Hmm, I lost my parents so I moved in with my father's best friend and his family”
Charles immediately halt the car by the side of the road,
“Shit, easy Charles!” I said fearfully with my right hand on my chest as they beat so hard,
“I'm sorry it's just that when I heard you say that you lost your two parents, I lost it” He muttered looking at me with pity
“Nhhh you don't have to feel sorry for me, it's been almost three years I already forgot about it”
“Ohh okay, I'm glad you're okay”
“Of course I am”
He ignited the car and drove off again, Charles is such a sweet soul, we finally got to the local Korean spot and I was surprised how somewhere like this existed in California, we came down from the car and made our way into the place,
“Ahjumeoni ( Grandma )” Charles called out as soon as we walked into the place. I understood him because I'm a K-drama fan.
“Ouuu, Adeul ( Son ) you came today” An old grandma walked up to us and she looked happy seeing Charles. They both looked happy seeing each other. I could already tell that the old grandma owns the place, and she's also Korean because, of course, she looks asian
She spoke to Charles in Korea and she kept on smiling at me
“You look so beautiful dear” She suddenly complimented me, I was surprised cause her English is so flawless,
“Thank you grandma”
“I'm happy he finally made a friend” She said gesturing at Charles,
“You won't believe how long I've been talking to him about making friends, I'm happy that he finally made one, please be good to him okay? he's so cute and has such a good heart, I'm afraid people might take advantage of him”
I smiled looking at Charles,
“You don't have to worry grandma, he's in safe hand”
“Gomawo ( Thank you )” She smiled at me, and pointed at a table for us, we went there and sat down,
“I'm going to bring a lot of Korean delicacy for you guys I promise you'll like it okay”
“Hmmm” I nodded happily, as soon as she left, I turned to Charles
“How did you meet her?”
“You mean ajumeoni?”
“Hmmm”
“Actually she's the first person I met on the night I arrived in California, it was my first time here so I ended up getting scammed of the apartment I paid for, I roam the city of California for a long time till I bumped into Halmoni ( Grandma ) she had pity on me and took me home, I stayed with her for one week while we looked for a trustworthy agent that helped me in finding an apartment”
“That's so sad, I'm sorry you had to experience that, I'm glad you met her though, she looked so sweet”
“Of course she is” Charles added with an eye roll, damn he's so sassy, our food finally arrived, and there was so much food on the table,
“So much food!” I gasped in surprise
“Of course dear, try them one after the other I promise you're going to like it” Granny said happily to me, and left in smiles cause she has other customers to attend to
“So I'm going to start by telling you the name of every dish here”
“Wow, they all look nice and yummy”
“Wait till you taste them” Charles bragged
“So this here is Bibimbap”
“Bibimbap?”
“Hmm, it's a rice bowl with vegetables and beef, and this here is bulgogi, it's sliced marinated grilled beef”
“The name is cultured, it sounds like it came from culture”
“Koreans actually have good culture, and our food is one of them, this here is kimchi, it's a traditional side dish made from fermented vegetables usually cabbage or radish with spice”
“I think I've seen kimchi a lot in K-dramas
“Yes it's so popular in K-drama, this too is Jjajangmyeon, it's noodles in savory black bean sauce”
“I've heard a lot of Korean high school students getting excited over this dish, so I think it's popular among them”
“You're right but it's also popular everywhere in Korea cause it taste so good”
“Ohhh…” I nod in understanding
“The last one is Tteokbokki, it's a spicy rice cake in a sweet and savory sauce”
“Yooo, your foods sounds like they have stories behind them”
“You can say that Korean food is respected”
“And also I think Koreans express their culture through their foods”
“I'm glad you have a good understanding about my country”
“You're welcome, I'm a Korean fan actually’’
“Really?”
“Of course I've always wanted to go to Korean”
“We will definitely go there together someday”
“Promise?”
“Of course I cross my heart”
“That's more like it,” I smiled.
“Are you ready to try it?”
“Of course but let's take a picture first”
“Yeah yeah, that's true, our first time eating out, we should definitely keep the memories” Charles giggled happily, as we both brought out our phone and began to take pictures,
The food was so good, and we ended up visiting many fun and pretty places in California, we went to Yosemite national park, we visited Santa Monica State Beach, and lastly we went to San Diego it was such and fun and happy day for us cause we made sure to take pictures together at every place we visited and at this point Charles and I ended up posting so many pictures together on IG, and people kept on looking at us and complimenting us,
“You guys are such a gorgeous couple”
“They are so cute”
“They look so good together”
Charles and I kept on telling them that we were just friends and not a couple, it got to a point that we had to stop correcting them and just happily take the compliments.
“Wow, the pictures are gaining so much views both in your page and in my page” Charles said to me cause we tagged each other
“Really?” I gasped in surprise licking my ice cream, we were currently chilling out and enjoying the cool evening breeze after a fun day, I checked my IG and the picture that I posted ten minutes ago already has about 30,000 likes and 500 comments, I spotted a familiar account that liked my picture, I clicked on the profile and immediately I saw Liam, my heart skipped.
He already viewed it, I never knew he accepted my friend request, years ago after coming to live with them I sent him a friend request but he never accepted it, he didn’t reject it, he just left it there, when did he accept it, or could it be that he accepted it and I didn't know, of course not I would have known if he accepted it back then
I went back home that night and the whole mansion was calm, I immediately sense that Liam is out with his friends, it's unlike him to not be home at this hour cause he's always at home whenever it's the two of us
Is he okay?
                
            
        “A date?” Liam made a grumpy face,
“Hmmm” I nod and turned to leave,
