Tomorrow With You

This Girl

DINO

I woke up early today because it was weekends and I knew Dad was at home somewhere too.

Sometimes when he is at home and I go past 7am before waking up, he will go up to my room to wake me up. He says Integrity and Dignity are essential to the being of a good Man.

He was right. He was a good example to me of a principled and full of integrity man.

Once in a while, things like this are of great value to him. That he forgot to be a father.

Dad and I are not always like this. I remember there was a time when we could no longer be separated. And I knew then that I loved him more than Mom. But that changed when Mom got sick and he was expected to become CEO and at the same time he was still a politician.

My Dad is a good person, he is not just a good father.

When I went down to the Dining area, he was already sitting and reading the newspaper.

Mom was preparing the dishes.

I sat down to my seat "Good Morning." I told them.

Dad clears his throat "Good morning too, Son."

Mom smiled at us.

Finally, a perfectly normal breakfast with him.

We were in the middle of eating when Dad suddenly spoke again.

"I heard you brought a girl here who is studying at Daegu Highschool."

I just thought it would be a normal day. But I just thought that was it.

"Yeah, I did. Her name is Monique Kim."

"Uhmmm.." Thats all he said while continuing to eat his food.

"I'm dati .." Mom cuts me off while squeezing my hand.

"Dino helped her because the girl spilled coffee on her uniform. So Dino decided to lend the girl my clothes." Mom smiled weakly. I know she's doing this so Dad and me won't fight again.

"That's what Good men do, Son. Keep that up. Instead of bullying others."

I sigh, Mom squeezed my hand tighter. I look at her, And she smiled at me pleading with her eyes to let it go. So I just did.

I invited Henry and Joshua to the Coffee shop where Monique works. I know her shift is for the whole day so I didn't ask her out today. Instead, I'm the one whose going to where she was right now

Talk about being Clingy, Huh?

I was on my way to the coffee shop when I saw Monique riding her bike to work.

I accompanied her drive and blew the horn.

"Going somewhere?" I smirked.

She laughs and shakes her head

"You're being clingy, Dino."

"I know. So what are you going to do about it?"

She feigns innocent and pretend she's thinking while driving her bicycle.

"Maybe I'll just put up with it. Can I do anything with a Dino Choi?" She jokes.

The winter snow was falling. The sun was rising. She was there, By my side riding her bicycle. She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her warm smile towards me, Her eyes that glisttenning. Her hair that flows along with the breeze. I love this Girl. I love who I am when I'm with her. I love every move around me slows down when I’m with her.

I fell in love with this Girl.

When we arrived at the Parking lot of the coffee shop I saw that Henry, Joshua and Kara were already inside.

Monique locked her bike so I held the bike to save her some trouble. We talked about their life back then on Jeju Island.

When we went inside, our friends teased us immediately and laughing.

Monique went inside the staff room to prepare for her shift.

I sat down where my friends are.

"Take away that smiling dog of yours, Dino. It doesn't look good on you." Joshua teased me.

"f**k off, Josh." Kara snickers.

"You know, Dino. I like that Monique. When will she start at Daegu University so we can be friends."

"Next semester. Thanks to your boyfriend and to Henry. She helped me back her up."

"Oh, You're so helpful, My love." She hugs Joshua and Joshua furs like a puppy.

Henry and I looked disgust.

We have been here at the Coffee shop for almost half a day and I saw that Monique was getting tired. Joshua and Henry was inviting me to Kara's party, So I approached Monique on the counter to say Goodbye.

She was busy writing something, I took a small paper and hit her gently. She looks up at me immediately.

She smiled.

And continue writing.

"What's that Dino? And you stopped ordering because almost all the coffee here, you already ordered earlier. You might not be able to sleep anymore. "She snickers. Junyoung chuckles beside her.

Smart ass.

"I'll just let you know I'm going home." I smirk while leaning my elbow on the counter.

She looks at me, Disappointment was evident in her face.

"Oh, Okay."

I left a note for her and she immediately read it. "Date with me tomorrow?" She shredded the paper and looked at me with a smile. I smiled at her one last time and Left.
