Aaron stood in front of the door of Choi Li Hwa's apartment.
He was wearing a black snakehead printed t-shirt with navy blue ripped jeans, classic black and white all-stars converse sneakers.
Aaron is going on a date with Choi Li Hwa.
It's his first date ever!
Just as Yong-Hyeon suggested since Li Hwa has work due, Aaron is going to take Li Hwa to watch a movie together and have lunch later after the movie.
It's nothing fancy but it's alright, Aaron doesn't want to make Li Hwa uncomfortable on their first date.
They already know each other to an extent but today they will talk about themselves a bit more on a personal level and try to have a fun, relaxing time.
Taking a deep breath, Aaron rang the bell of the apartment.
A couple of minutes later, the door opened and Choi Li Hwa greeted Aaron with a smile on her face.
Choi Li Hwa is wearing a light blue angry bunny printed t-shirt with navy blue ¾ jeans and leather flat sandals.
Seeing Li Hwa's smile, Aaron's brain short-circuited.
He was stunned at how beautiful she looked even though she was wearing casual clothes.
The light makeup Li Hwa did highlight her natural beauty further.
"You look beautiful!" Muttered out Aaron absentmindedly staring at Li Hwa's face.
Hearing the compliment from Aaron, Li Hwa blushed.
"Uhm, you look beautiful too. I mean handsome!!!" Replied Li Hwa, trying to compose herself.
Her heart was beating fast, going Doki-Doki from Aaron's compliment as well as how handsome he looks.
"I got ourselves, two tickets of the new superhero movie that is in theatres now. Also after the movie, we can go to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Yong-Hyeon told me that you have work due, so I didn't plan anything else. If it's alright with you then we can do anything you want later for our date. Is this okay? Or should we do something else?" Asked Aaron nervously, staring at Li Hwa.
Hearing the plan for their date, Li Hwa was surprised.
She was actually looking forward to watching the movie for months and was thinking of taking Yong-Hyeon sometime next week.
Knowing that Aaron planned to watch the movie together for the date that she was expecting to watch for months made her feel excited and kind of happy.
"That's good, I was planning to watch that movie for months."
Smiling, Aaron breathe a sigh of relief thinking Yong-Hyeon's idea kick-assed!
Aaron didn't know what to do if Li Hwa didn't like the movie. It would have been awkward sitting for 2 hours watching a boring movie.
"That's good then, it was actually Yong-Hyeon's idea. To be honest, I'm completely clueless about dates." Aaron doesn't even know why he confessed. His mouth was running on its own.
He was kind of nervous about what might happen today.
But somehow Aaron feels that today, he just want to be honest and be himself to Li Hwa.
Widening her eyes in surprised, Li Hwa asked "Clueless? Don't tell me it's your first date?"
Nodding, Aaron replied, "Yes, first date eve!."
"Wow, I truly didn't expect that it's your first date! You're so handsome and friendly, I at least thought you have been to a couple of dates before."
"I'm not friendly to everyone. I'm actually a quiet person and not sociable. I only have few friends and they are very dear to me. Being honest with you, I was really surprised at myself that I helped Yong-Hyeon back then. Why I did it? I don't know."
"Is that so? I don't see that when you are with us though. You are sociable, friendly and an interesting person to talk with."
The two started talking until they were interrupted by Yong-Hyeon.
"My God! You two were supposed to go watch a movie and talk later in a restaurant or a park. Not in the hallway of the apartment building!!!"
Startled, Aaron and Li Hwa looked back and saw Yong-Hyeon looking at the two of them with judgemental eyes.
"Get going, you two!" Said raising his voice.
He stepped outside of the apartment and locked the door.
"I will go hang out with big sister, Aurora. So, mom, you don't have to worry about me. As for you? I will give you hell if you make her cry!!!"
"Yes, boss. I hear you fine! I will not make your mother cry. I promise!" Aaron giving a comical salute to Yong-Hyeon, turned to Li Hwa.
"Then, shall we get going?" Asked Aaron to Li Hwa, extending his hand to her.
Taking Aaron's hand, Li Hwa turned to Yong-Hyeon.
"I will be back soon, so don't disturb them too much!"
"I'm a good child, mom. I never disturb anyone unless they piss me off first!"
Rolling her eyes, Li Hwa said goodbye to Yong-Hyeon.
Aaron and Li Hwa soon went to watch the new movie in the theatre for their first date.
While on the journey, they talked about themselves more.
Slowly, bit by bit they were getting close to each other.
~~~
After the movie, Aaron and Li Hwa were sitting opposite to each other in a restaurant.
"What would you like?" Asked Aaron giving Li Hwa the menu card.
"Hmm, I think we should go with the fondue. We are lucky that it's today they are making it. It's their once a month special, so you can only have it once a month here. It's really good and I love it!"
"Then fondue it is!"
Ordering fondue with bread, roasted potatoes and eggs as sides. Aaron ordered the dish.
While waiting for the dish, Aaron was thinking about the talk about the two of them.
They had a great time together today and talked about themselves a bit more.
They also revealed a few things about their family.
When Li Hwa heard that Aaron was actually from the Blood family and the only son of the patriarch of the Blood family.
She was shocked!
Li Hwa was kind of sad hearing, Aaron, that he is a Blood.
Aaron noticed it, he understands the weight of the Blood family prestige and reputation.
He knows that Li Hwa will be uncomfortable with it and will feel inferior to Aaron.
But he assured Li Hwa that he may be a Blood but he dictates his own life.
The Blood family has little ties over him. If it weren't for his parents and sister, Aaron would have already left the Blood family.
Even though Aaron did his best to make Li Hwa accept that the Blood family will not be an obstacle for them.
Li Hwa still felt uncomfortable thinking about the Blood family.
"I like you, Li Hwa! I'm falling in love with you, the more I spend my time with you." Suddenly, Aaron spoke up startling Li Hwa, snapping her out from her thoughts.
The 1st ch of the week.
FYI, I don't want to write a drama on Aaron's relationship with Li Hwa.
I want a fluffy relationship for the sweets where they always support each other.
Aaron has too much baggage on him, that he needs some love and relief.
he is not emotionally strong bcoz he is juggling not only his but Nyx's life too.
Unlike, Aurora. Aaron is focussing on Nyx's Prince family matters and Nameless to an extent.
Aaron and Nyx are fighting against the whole Prince family from the shadows.
Li Hwa blushed when Aaron openly confessed to her.
"And I have learned today that you also have feelings for me."
"I have feelings for you too, Aaron. These feelings, I know I like you and every day seems like its ever closer to loving you. But I don't know. I don't know what the future will have in store if I accept your feelings. I have so many thoughts going through my head of all the things that could happen in our circumstance. Who knows if it will end up as one of them." Said looking away from Aaron.
The atmosphere seemed sombre.
Li Hwa was hesitating, whether should she take the hand that Aaron extended to her.
She doesn't know what to do.
Her life isn't just hers anymore there is also Yong-Hyeon.
She also needs to think about her son's future not just her own.
Today, Aaron revealed many things about himself.
To Li Hwa, Aaron is like a prince!
And she a commoner who dreams to be with the prince.
There is a 5 year age gap between the two of them and Aaron is the younger one between the two of them.
Aaron is from the prestigious Blood family, one of the 23 Sacred Noble families and Clans.
Also, she is a single mother.
People are bound to talk about them.
She'll be in the spotlight of millions if she enters a relationship with Aaron.
Her son, Yong-Hyeon will also be in the spotlight too.
The pressure is huge on her shoulder, now that she knows much more about Aaron.
Seeing, that Li Hwa is taking some time to think.
Aaron wanted to tell her a few things.
He wanted to tell her about his friends that support him, his sister who gave her blessing and his mother that is willing to embrace him. He knows that it would be hard for him to convince his father but he didn't care.
Aiden is a stubborn old man, Aaron has to fight with his father for his approval. Even if his father doesn't approve of this relationship, Aaron doesn't care about that old man's feelings.
He loves his father but his father is a stubborn jackass!
Aaron was about to say something but Li Hwa spoke first.
"I don't want to lie to you, Aaron. So please be honest with me too!"
Aaron nodded hearing Li Hwa.
"Yong-Hyeon is my best friend's son. She passed away from cancer. She didn't have anyone else besides me and my grandmother. I promised her, that I will love Yong-Hyeon as my own before she passed away. That's how Yong-Hyeon became my son."
Hearing Li Hwa Aaron nodded.
'Not much of a big deal who cares! I love you, Li Hwa!' Aaron said in his mind.
Aaron was a bit surprised by this revelation but didn't think much of an issue with it.
(A/N: He's a lovestruck fool! It's going to bite him in ass for sure one day.)
"I'm sorry for your loss!" Said Aaron feeling sorry.
In return, Li Hwa gave Aaron a sad smile.
"Still, nothing will change my feelings for you. I care about you, Li Hwa! That little guy, Yong-Hyeon maybe a devil in disguise inside of a 7-year-old kid, but I like him too. Not as much as I like you though, Haha." Aaron tried to liven up the mood.
"I know, Li Hwa. I will try my best, just give us a chance. Please!"
"I know about your worries and everything. I'm worried too! But we will not know unless if we give ourselves a chance. Speculating what might happen in the future from ideas that we form from our negative thoughts are our fears playing with us."
"Tell me then, why are you hesitating too much?" Asked Aaron holding both of Li Hwa's hands firmly in his.
"..."
"I-..." Taking a deep breath and closing her eyes, Li Hwa thought for some moments.
'Yeah, exactly why am I hesitating? Why am I trying to find an excuse to reject him so much? I know my feelings, they yearn for his love. I like him, yes, then why?'
She couldn't think of any answer.
Aaron is right, her fears were clouding her thoughts.
Insecurities about herself, the fears of commitment and abandonment were making her hesitate to move forward.
'I'm really an idiot thinking only negative thoughts about this relationship, fears are common and can be overcome! So why hesitate?'
Li Hwa thought more about it.
After thinking for some time, she opened her eyes and looked at those beautiful mesmerising light green eyes of Aaron.
She tightened the hold on her hands that Aaron was holding.
"I will give us a chance then. I hope you won't disappoint me, Aaron!"
Giving a bright smile to Aaron and forgetting her previous worries, she looked forward to what the future has stored for her.
Whether it be good or bad, she doesn't know unless she takes the first step forward towards it.
Even if her road to forward, is full of obstacles and thorns. She believes in herself and she believes in Aaron that they might somehow make it through.
She doesn't know Aaron for that much longer but the Aaron she knows is confident, loving and will walk alongside her shoulder to shoulder together no matter what.
*ba dum*
Aaron's heart skipped a beat hearing Li Hwa.
{In the clubhouse, Nyx jumped suddenly in joy on behalf of Aaron as he doesn't want to embarrass himself in front of Li Hwa.}
Giving a brilliant smile to Li Hwa, Aaron replied tightening his grip on Li Hwa's hand.
"I will never disappoint you, Li Hwa. I promise in the name of 'Darkness'"
~~~
At Sabastian's apartment.
Four people were in front of a laptop.
They were Erisviel, Aurora, Sabastian and Yong-Hyeon.
The four were watching Aaron and Li Hwa inside the restaurant holding hands smiling to each other.
It was actually, Erisviel who was curious that she made a drone follow Aaron and Li Hwa to get a live feed of their date.
Then Sabastian found out about it and the two were watching it until Aurora and Yong-Hyeon joined.
"Tsk... I will make his life a living hell!" Seeing Aaron holding her mother's hand, Yong-Hyeon clicked his tongue feeling jealous.
'Why should mom love this dude? Mom has me!' Yong-Hyeon said in his mind.
But there was a slight smile on his face watching her mother happy with Aaron.
"Well, there goes one! So now seven more left in our misfit gang. Dammit, I want a girlfriend too!!!" Sabastian said, seeing her best friend Aaron being happy.
"I hope this guy doesn't skip work from now or else I will behead him someday!" With a neutral voice, Erisviel said.
It sounded so scary, that it sent a chill down the spine of the people near her.
Even Yong-Hyeon found Erisviel scary, even though it was a joke.
'She isn't scary but a pretty sister with a neutral face but she is scary nonetheless in some way!' Yong-Hyeon thought in his mind.
Aurora smiled seeing her brother being happy.
She for the first time in months, communicated through their telepathic channel and gave her blessing to Aaron.
"Best of luck, brother."
Soon a reply came from Aaron.
"Thank you, sister."
