(well yes I know that. But I wanted to make it more interesting for him and just less… lonely)

Grace took off her own hat and straight blonde hair that went to her ears met his gaze. He smiled, tilting his head. He liked short hairstyles.
"Your hair looks really nice too."
"Awe, this thing? Nah." She shook her head and waved her hand again, sitting up as their coffee and snacks were deliviered.

(awe poor thing. Im glad hes not lonely anymore :)

"your heart, but i dont think i can get that without a thing of flowers, so ill just have some peach tea please."
He says looking around as Ryuu walked towards them. He knew who this guy, CC had been complaining about him for the past two weeks.
"Hey lemon cakes, whaddya doin?"
Ryuu says leaning against the counter as CC blushed at his words. Ryuus glasses hanging from the collar of his sweater.
"Serving a flirt"
She says with a slight smile. Ryuu never actually did or said things like this to her unless she was getting hit on.
He knew she never liked it no matter how much she acted as she did.
She never liked hurting someone's feelings. One of the reasons why he loved her so much.

Met laughed as he took his coffee, opening his heavy-lidded eyes to admire her rather blunt features and slim cheeks. "I think you look great with it," He cooed quietly, his cheeks a faint red as the deliver-er walked away.
Grace turned to look at him and set her elbows on the table, and her eyes caught into his icy eyes, and they just stared for a few moments.
"Thank you, Met. That's really sweet of you."
Met gave her one of his shy little smiles, resisting the temptation to look down away from the eye contact, but he wouldn't let himself at the same time. It was like swimming in a pool full of the warm emotion in her eyes. It felt really nice. He felt his shoulders drop slowly as he sipped at his coffee.

"wow, ouch. I wouldnt call myself a flirt, just complimenting a pretty lady"
He says running his finger through his hair, Seo Hyeon turning away from the boys with a little giggle while she made his peach tea.
"Oh?"
Ryuu says turning to the flirt,
"i dont think you know what youre getting yourself into, but shoot your shot if you want it back."
He says with a hint of challengingness (if thats a word XD) in his voice.
Turning around with a peach boba tea in her hands, handing it to him, the "flirt" looks at Ryuu nervously, then winking at Seo Hyeon and taking his leave.

Grace suddenly pulled out her phone and slid it over. "Here. Let's exchange numbers and maybe we can get together again sometime?" She proposed as Met sat up a little out of his stupor.
"Oh, sure! That sounds… sounds great. Yes." He smiled and picked up the phone, plugging his number into a contact and handing it back over. "Thank you for going out with me, Grace. I really appreciate it. I've just been feeling really alone and it's nice to talk to someone."
"Aw. I'm glad I can be here for you. Our love for hats has brought us together!" She laughed, smiling a genuine smile again, one that Met matched.
"Yeah. Hats."

It had been a couple months since Met had been on his first date with Grace. She was really a nice person. They had spent their holiday seasons together since they had no one else to, they drank and slept over at each others houses pretty often on their days off, but it was never anything too scandalous. They were only just starting to date, after all. Met decided he wanted to go slow with her after their quick first date, and she was happy to agree.

Though on February fourteenth she had come over to hang out with him at his house. He had a nice vase of flowers for her and a nice card with a giftcard of a store she liked in it. He wanted a simple, small gift. And he thought she'd be the same, but he was quite wrong.

She had brought him a big box of his favorite treats. She learned quickly that he loved sweet things, especially cakes, and had personally baked all of them and put them in a big box she found on ebay for like, fifty bucks.

CC had actually spent the holidays alone, she would've spent it with Ryuu, but he went back to Japan for a while and hadn't come back yet. Apparently, it was a big family thing although his dad got kicked out of Japan, he hadn't. Which Seo Hyeon was happy for him. He went off to visit his aunt that had practically raised him.
Seo Hyeon hadn't seen the flirtatious guy ever since that time at the coffee shop.
Right now she was just trying to survive each day. She wasn't getting paid the best so she couldn't get much food if she wanted to pay the bills. She tried to find another job but their were no hiring. Having no friends in America was hard, which played a big role in her life right now. And she never actually got to meet up with Met, which she was a little bummed out about, but she's seen him with another girl once or twice, he looked happy, so she wasn't about to change that.

Met fixed himself up for his first actual Valentine's day (he didn't really do as much with Seo when they were together), with a dress shirt and a slick pair of dress pants. He was choosing between a bow tie and a tie when he heard a knock at the door, and decided that he'd be better off without one, and just leave the dress shirt unbuttoned. He answered the door and stepped back for her and the big box.
"Hey Grace! Big box you got there!"
"I know! It has your present in it!" She set it down on the table next to her things and picked up the card. "Aww this is sweet, though."
"Well, don't make me feel bad for getting you something smaller!" He protested as he shut the door.

Deciding to walk to the town park, having nothing better to do on Valentine's day. https://pin.it/y7goae2f7lsozp (idk like this outfit?)
She felt borderline scandalous with her clothes, but they were cute so she put up with it. It was also comfortable.
It was near the coffee shop, so it wasnt too far.
In college when she was in Korea she would be hanging out with her friends right now, shopping, having coffee and probably pulling pranks on people on the street.
Her guy friends usually would initiate it, bringing her along with it, she always enjoyed it.
Looking down at her shoes, then at her side, she stopping in front of the appartment that she fell in front of on christams eve, with a sigh and a little smile, she looks up to the sky feeling the slightly chilly breeze on her face, breathing it in, feeling it on her lips.
Then making her way to the park with no friends in the country, no family other than her mom,
which was always depressed on Valentine's day, and her brother….. in the mental ward.
She never got to visit him on that night out with her boyfriend.
Maybe she could go visit him today.
Turning around to face the street as people and cars hustled by, sitting on a bench as her long hair pushed against her back and the bench. She was just going to sit there for a few minutes until she decided what she wanted to do today.

"I'm doing no such thing, Met!" She beckoned him over and he unwrapped the gift as she took out the card.
"Good gods, Grace, there's so many cakes in here!" He was overwhelmed by the smell of sweet icing and fruits. "I'm going to have to share, this is too much!" He turned his smiling face up at her. She smiled back at him, but something was off. He didn't feel tingles when she smiled like he usually did. It was like he was missing something. She was the only person he had, but… it could be different. He couldn't afford to be picky but he also couldn't feel… feel regret. He wouldn't– couldn't tell her how he felt. He had been feeling this way for a while, he just didn't want to break up with her before or after Valentine's Day.
Grace laughed and looked down into her card. "Thank you so much for being with me through these tough few months. I treasure you like you do the things you found in pawn shops. That's really sweet, Met." She looked a little confused but happy nevertheless.

Standing up and deciding to just walk to the park, she got up, dusting off her skirt. Looking around back to the apartment, to the trees, a squirrel scurrying up it. Taking a deep breath she forces a smile on her face, making her way to the park.
I wonder how everyone's doing back in Korea…… Yeong probably flirting with all of the guys by now.
Golly, I miss Phoebe, oh Eun-Kyung had a cat that looked like her.
It was a pretty cat, the eyes were different though, and it was a jerk….and it was a boy.
Someone bumping into er while she had gotten lost in her thoughts, falling to the ground, simply sitting there like she does every time she falls down, laughing it off and getting back up, pulling her hair back out of her face and behind her ear, staying positive.
Arriving at the park she sat down on the wooden bench, names carved into it…….of course it was.
Sitting in front of the pond as ducks roamed the park, couples everywhere, a waterfall flowing down rocks.

"You eh… you look confused." Met ran his fingers through his hair nervously, his gaze flicking away.
"Um… yeah. I am." Her small smile disappeared. "You signed it off with a 'thanks' rather than a love or something. Is there something you want to tell me, Met? I promise I won't get angry since it's on Valentine's," She said with a soft laugh, but her eyes were serious as they fought to meet with his flicking ones.
"Well there was something I wanted to tell you but… I guess I can tell you now. I think we should just be friends. Good friends. I like supporting your business and giving you payments. I like going out for coffee and shopping for clothes from thrift stores together. I can't imagine us being something together, though," He blurted out, looking down at his feet. "I'm sorry. Could we go for a walk or something?"
"Sure we can, Met. Look, I understand." She pulled on her jacket again and looked up at him, putting a hand on his arm. "That's what dating's for. To look for people you may or may not like. To make friends. I was feeling the same way. We make a great pair of friends. And I appreciate your support too. Let's go through the park."

Looking down at the ground, she pulls her hair out of the way once again.
She admits, she did miss her friends in Korea, her boyfriend, that now had a girl whom he seemed happy with,
her cat, her brother, Ryuu, and her mothers never been the same anyway.
She was glad she had writing. Thats the thing thats kept her going all these years.
She even missed having school to do. But she wasnt about to wish for that back.
It was a little too stressful, but it gave her something to always do.
Study groups with her friends at the librarys and little cafes that they had everywhere.
A shadow stepping towards her, only thinking is was a couple passing by before she felt a tap on her shoulder.

The couple walking by happened to be a very distracted Met, who was looking everywhere but Grace as they walked. Grace sighed and paused near the waterfall, where she just stared.
“Met… there’s a reason you don’t like me, is there?”
“What?” He asked, turning away from a very familiar looking girl. “I’m sorry. I-I um… have bad hearing,” He fibbed, laughing meekly. “You know, from all the guns I use and stuff.”
“Oh, sure,” Grace just murmured as she watched the water. “Who were you just looking at?”

A tap on her shoulder and she raises her head, looking up to see…….
"Min?"
She says as she covers her mouth. It was her big brother, Min-Hyuk. Had he be released? She didnt know that was allowed.
"I do not recomend killing a dude, straight jackets f*cking suck"
He says with the little smirk he only gave his little sister.
Jumping up off of the bench and throwing her arms around his neck as she burried her face into his chest.
Tears gushing down her cheeks as she sobbed, his arms wrapping around her as he bent over slightly.
"Min….h-how are you here?"
She says after about a full minute, letting go of him, rubbing her eyes, gasping for air, finally getting a hold of herself
"oh? Can i not see my little sister after i just got released from an asylum? Or is that illegal?"

"Oh, no one. Just… Oh my god, is that Min?" He suddenly interrupted himself, walking over without a care. He wanted to see the man who had killed Seo's haunter and abuser.
"Min! Seo! Oh my god!" He moved closer, but stayed a bit away after noticing that Seo had been crying. She had been sitting alone and Min had probably been admitted for a really long time. What was he thinking, interrupting them? He was nothing but a long lost lover to Seo, after all.

"What the hell- wait"
He looks over to Met, a little mad that he had interupted his and his little sisters ruinion. It had been about 5 years since he saw her, and her boyfriend came up.
"isnt this your boyfriend?"
He says looking over from the girl that he had just left behind.
"CC?"
He says turning around, his grey eyes flickering to all of them, then back at CC.
"i swear, if this douche hurt her, im gonna be going to the ward again"
He mumbles rather loudly, but to himself.
