A Date

Min-gyu stood motionless, his eyes fixed on Yeon-hee as she walked toward him, mesmerized. The refined and controlled Diamond Club manager he was familiar with had shed her usual image. Her dark hair, once neatly secured in a bun, now flowed freely, framing her small, heart-shaped face with a soft glow. He couldn't help but notice the absence of her usual bold makeup—tonight, she had opted for something simpler, more natural, and somehow even more striking.

Min-gyu inhaled deeply, desperately trying to calm his racing heart. He cleared his throat and shifted his weight nervously from heel to toe, hoping to steady his anxious nerves. He'd never imagined that he'd feel so nervous about going on a date, but deep down, he knew this was his only chance—this night could very well be their first and last date.
