MY MOTHER WAS OVERJOYED  TO hear that i was going on a date after years of loneliness. i had called my sister about it because i simply didn't know what to wear or do and word got from me to her to our mother who surprisingly facetimed me after a month. honestly, i didn't know how exactly to react to her call but i was still secretly glad she called me.

"i can't believe you're going on a date! who is the guy? what's he like? does he treat you good? do you treat him good? oh he must be wonderful for you to break the cycle of loneliness!" my mother cried out. with the attack of questions by her, i didn't know where to start.

"woah mom, don't need to hit a nerve there. his name is iwaizumi hajime. he's tall, plays volleyball, he's from seijoh." i said with a smile. "he...." i trailed off as i pondered about the question of whether he treats me good. i mean, throwing cake batter at me, making my kitchen a mess, and him slightly bullying me at times.
"yeah he treats me real good, mom."

"what about you? you treat him good?" she asked while raising her eyebrow. honestly speaking, i didn't know how to answer that question. well i did give him an allergic reaction, but no biggie am i right? "i mean, sure." i answered. before i knew it, i heard some chattering and shouting from her phone and i knew it was time for her to go.

"i'm sorry sweetie. i gotta go, it's an urgent surgery. enjoy your date and call your sister if you need any help. bye!" she said while ending the call immediately. i sighed, as i smiled softly before turning off my phone.

i was already in my clothes, well and prepared since i was nervous as hell. my sister picked out a simple brown sweater tucked in a grey plaid skirt. honestly, it was really korean style fashion and i was sure i was gonna sweat a ton in this sweater. even before i stepped out of the house, the armpit area of the sweater was already kind of disgustingly wet due to nervousness and the hot weather so i decided to just change into something that was more comfortable. a basic white t shirt with a jujutsu kaisen graphic design on it.

i was simply waiting for the right time to leave the house and find my way to the park he was talking about. he was planning on picking me up but then i felt really awkward and rejected it.

my phone rang and it was iwaizumi.

hey where are you?

wait what?
isn't the date in forty five minutes?

omg kurai
it was two o clock
not three

oH SHIT SHIT SHIT
OKAY IM COMING IN LIKE TEN MINUTES
IMMA RUN

chill out
it's not the first time you were late anyways 🙄

ugh fuck you

oi-

i ended the call and ran out of the house, only leaving with a bag. the wind blew in my hair as i ran and honestly i felt like a main character in an anime.

after ten minutes, i finally arrived at the park. it was quite empty ( jeez 😃 is he gonna kill me in broad daylight? ) not a lot of people there, since it was at a time of two pm where the sun is smiling ever so brightly at you. dandelions, turnips, roses were everywhere. it was really nice. fields of flowers filled the park which led to a field of grass where stood a man dressed in a denim jacket with jeans.

obviously it was iwaizumi since i knew about his obsession with denim ( i dont get it, its so uncomfortable?? ) but it looks good on him so i was not about to complain anytime sooner. i skipped my way there, thinking it was really pretty but then it ended looking like i was galloping like a horse ) this caused iwaizumi to whip out his phone and start recording. how romantic, am i right?

"oi! iwa! keep the phone or you will regret it!" i screamed at him once i noticed it. his face immediately went pale and he kept his phone. yes thats what i thought, be scared of me. he walked towards me and unexpectedly stuffed a bouquet of multicoloured daffodils in my face which unfortunately made me give a big sneeze that was pretty ugly.

oh my god this date was not going well.

iwaizumi widened his eyes and immediately apologised as he bowed down accidentally stuffing more of the flowers in my face which made my disgusting snot cover the flowers. oh my god?? is there ever luck by our side at this point?

"oh god this is not going to plan." iwaizumi said and i burst out laughing which caused him to laugh too. in the end, both of us just laughed for five minutes non-stop. this date was more fun than i expected. i thought both of us would be an awkward duo. after we cooled down, we settled down at the picnic he prepared for us.

and oh my god, every single food there were food i really enjoy. there was a variety of them and for god's sake, he even got some popular korean dishes like hoeddok, chimaek with beer, and of course the iconic kimchi. without hesitation, i grabbed the pair of chopsticks and tasted them.

"yo?? where did you get this?" i asked and he widened his eyes as if he was nervous about something. seeing that i got a hint that he really cared about my judgement. "because this is fucking yummy! it tastes just like korea!"

he looked somewhat relieved upon hearing me say that. he smiled brightly and stated proudly, "i cooked it myself!"

"you lied to me"

"stop being dramatic iwaizumi! i was just teasing you, i know you would eat it and find the food shitty."

"the meat was raw, kurai!"

"okay im sorry! i will teach you next time okay?" i said with puppy eyes, holding the snot covered flowers. he rolled his eyes at me and i scoffed in offence. i arrived back at my home and the sun was fully set already. "thanks for today once again."

"i know, kurai. you said it like ten times." he said while crossing his arms. i huffed in frustration and hit him in the shoulder gently.

"i am just feeling guilty for some reason, okay? now go home safely, text me when you reach home or if you need any help, got it?" i said to him and he nodded several times while walking away with his hands in his pocket.

"okay mom!"

"don't call me mom after our date! that's just creepy!"

"okay fine, goodnight!"  he said before he fully disappeared from my sight. i closed the door and sighed to myself while smiling.

"goodnight, hajime."
