Jungwon POV
I stare silently out the window, secretly catching a few glances to the now alone Y/n. She's on her phone, drinking her drink and eating her eats.

"You should totally invite that O/n girl to dinner tomorrow" She says, not glancing at me, just working as usual.

"It's Y/n not O/n, and that's a big family dinner. If I show up with her, it'll give everyone an idea" I sigh, not working, i'm just here for the 20 bucks she promised me.

"Okay well, it's pretty clear you both have a thing for each other. Its a good time to make things clear for the both of you on your status, and everyone can get to know her."

Says the girl who's never dated in her 21 years of life.

"That's the thing... half of them kinda already know her." I glance at her this time.

She does a double take on me, "How in the world did that happen?!?"

"Long story short, she's Chaewon's baby sitter, she's friends with her mom too, my mom met her by the shop, and I think I saw her walking with your brother, Haru, the other day.

"Wow that really is half, huh... She doesn't know your aunt's fiancé, my parents, my twin brother and your dad. Small world" She suddenly stops wiping down the counter and looks off into space.

"See? I can't just invite her to something as big as that. Our whole family is gonna be there, and we didn't even include our grandparents"

"She'll like it and want to go, trust me"

"Won, just invite the chick." Shaking her head, as if I was an annoying her.

I stare at her, she's so calm about this. This could make or break a possible relationship.

"Jungwon invite her, or I will. I know she's outside, and I know you don't keep a lock on your phone."

I stay silent, she's slowly getting closer to my phone I stupidly left in the open, "You wouldn't dare..."

She grabs my phone, "Let's see... oh! Does she happen to be under the name of, y/n <3? Or is this some other Y/n you know?"

"Bibi... I swear if you do anything." I stand up and speed walk to where she's at.

"What if... I just text her something?" She smirks at me and then back at the phone. Not the phone, my phone

"If I ask her, will you leave me alone about this?" I swoop my phone away, before she can read anymore embarrassing messages.

"Ask away lover boy." She starts to clean again, and shoos me away.

I stare at her from the glass door. She's gonna say no... she's definitely gonna say no.

I start to finally walk out, getting her attention and her smile. To be fair, there's no one else around and the door has a bell.

"Yang Jungwon! Are you on break or something? You can sit down, I don't mind" She warm-heartedly smiles. So unnecessarily pretty.

Usually, I would say something cringy to make her laugh or panic, but currently i'm the one panicking. Regardless, I pull a chair next to hers.

"Did you like the macaroons? Bibi and Yuyu make them, apparently they have a secret recipe and I can't even know it" I try to start out smoothly, not just jump in.

"Bibi and Yuyu? Lemme guess, those are the nicknames Eunbi and her brother use. Do you have any other nicknames you'd like to tell me, Wonie?" She bites into the cookie and smiles slightly.

She's probably teasing me, but she makes it look so innocent and nice. I must be crazy.

"Well... they have a little brother named Haru, and sometimes we call him Ru" I say, calmly and collected

"That name sounds familiar... but I meant you dummy."

"Oh... well Bibi calls me Won sometimes, but not really anymore." Honestly, I wouldn't tell her but honesty is better. I think.

"Ah... Are you sure you're on break? Eunbi keeps staring at us, maybe you should get back to work..." She says uncomfortably, looking in the window and smiling at my embarrassment of a cousin.

"Well... I have something to ask you actually" I finally say something about it.

She nods her head, asking me to continue I guess.

"There's this family dinner of mine tomorrow at my house and I was wondering if you'd like to come..?" My voice definitely squeaked, like a dog toy.

"What am i'm being introduced as." Taking a sip at her drink.

"If you want I could introduce you as my girl...friend?" Again, squeaky toy voice.

"Jungwon, are you asking me to be your girlfriend?" She holds the straw of her tea in amusement.

Is that a good or bad thing? I don't understand her. I don't understand any girls over the age of 10 actually, that's the reason my mother gets annoyed of me.

Before I answer her question, I take a deep breath, and hope I don't say something i'm not supposed too "If you'd like...?"

Her face goes too a smile to a frown, "If i'd like? You don't want me to be your girlfriend? Do you pity me? Is that why you're asking me? To make sure i'd like that?" She scoffs and crosses her arms, looking away.

Wait what.

Did I imply that? I was just asking if she would like to be called that.

"No- No. I want you to date me, and to meet my family, formally. I like you, and I want you to be my girlfriend." I say, full heartedly.

Her face softens and her muscles relax. Does she actually think I don't like her? I'm just glad to see she calmed down after she heard that.

"Well- I guess I have time to show up at your gathering..." She side eyes me, she's trying to look intimidating but I can see a glimpse of excitement.
