After we ate Seonghwa decided to go see the city. We walk down the busy streets just enjoying the cool breeze of the night sky. I haven't been able to breathe like this in a month, not having to watch over my shoulder every two seconds is very reassuring.

Seonghwa: I want coffee, do you?
Me: I could go for a matcha latte.

We walk into the cafe, greeting the older woman politely. We sit at the table looking over the menu. This is very American style.

The waitress walks up to us and smile.

Waitress: How can I help you?
Seonghwa: Iced americano.

Ew.

Me: A matcha latte please.
Waitress: No problem.
Seonghwa: You look familiar.

The waitress raises an eyebrow.

Waitress: Me?
Seonghwa: Yeah, what's your name?
Waitress: Cina.
Seonghwa: Ah.

She walks away to get our drinks and I eye him weirdly.

Me: You know her?
Seonghwa: I thought I did, maybe in another life.

I nod. He's checked his phone at least ten times in the last three minutes. He's such a worry wart.

Me: The next time you check your phone you owe me a hundred dollars. We're on our..

Dare I say?

Me: Honeymoon, chillax!
Seonghwa: You sure are at ease.

I'm glad I seen that way because inside I'm a mess. My thoughts are everywhere and I can't even begin to comprehend them. However, I learned I'm not the only one going through turmoil.

Seonghwa is too.

The only difference is he don't think he is because he's use to it. Being use to something doesn't make it okay, even though I'm still grieving my mother I want to help him.

The waitress places our drinks and front of us and we thank her.

Me: This is so good!
Seonghwa: I never cared for anything matcha.
Me: Really? I love it, matcha pocky is the best.
Seonghwa: You like pocky?
Me: You don't?

He shrugs.

Seonghwa: It's okay I guess.
Me: I feel like now we should go get some. Excuse me! Where's the closest convince store?
Waitress: About two blocks over.

I down the rest of my drink and pull Seonghwa by his sleeve.

Me: Let's go!

I run down the street pulling him with me. He yells out objections but I pay no mind, the store comes into eyesight making me smile.

Me: Hello!

The cashier waves.

I grab every flavor of pocky I see chocolate, chocolate with almond, strawberry, cookies and cream and of course matcha!

Me: Do you like banana milk?
Seonghwa: Strawberry.

Cute.

After getting our snacks we head back to the house. I watch closely as he bites the first flavor of pocky. He chews slowly and then looks at me.

Seonghwa: It's good.
Me: See? I'll never lead you wrong when it comes to food. If I don't know nothing else I know food.

He laughs, I haven't seen him laugh since I met him.

Seonghwa: Tomorrow I'll take you to this sushi place my mom use to take me to when I was younger.

I smile.

Me: Okay.

We spend the rest of the night eating and talking about nothing. This is nice.
