The sun was just beginning to dip below the horizon, casting a warm orange hue across the city skyline. Bada stood outside the café, her hands buried deep in the pockets of her oversized hoodie, nervously shifting her weight from one foot to the other. This wasn't like her. She was always confident, always in control, whether it was on stage or in front of a camera. But here she was, heart racing, all because of one person.

Y/N.

She caught sight of you approaching from down the street, her heart skipping a beat. The way you moved, with that effortless grace and quiet confidence, had Bada completely captivated from the moment they first met. And now, after weeks of stolen glances and late-night texts, Bada had finally mustered the courage to do something about it.

As you reached the café, Bada forced herself to smile, hoping it didn't come off as awkward as it felt. "Hey, you made it," she said, her voice betraying none of the nervous energy bubbling inside her.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it," You replied with that soft smile that always seemed to make Bada's heart flutter.

They settled into a small table by the window, the evening light filtering through the glass, casting a gentle glow on your face. For a moment, Bada just stared, taking in every detail—the way your eyes crinkled when she smiled, the way you absentmindedly twirled a strand of hair around your finger.

"So," Bada started, trying to find the right words, "I've been thinking... a lot. About us." She paused, searching your face for any sign of what she might be thinking, but all she found was that calm, patient gaze that always put her at ease.

"I like you, Y/N," Bada finally said, the words tumbling out in a rush. "And I don't mean just as friends. I want to take you out, like, on a real date. If you're interested."

Your eyes widened slightly, but then your smile grew, and Bada could've sworn she saw a hint of a blush on your cheeks. "I'd love that, Bada. I've been waiting for you to ask."

Relief washed over Bada, and she couldn't help but laugh, a genuine, joyful sound that seemed to lighten the air around them. "Really? You don't know how nervous I was about this," she admitted, feeling more relaxed now that the truth was out.

You reached across the table, your hand brushing lightly against Bada's. "I'm glad you did. I've been thinking about us too. I feel like there's something special here."

Bada's heart soared at your words. For the first time in a long while, she felt like everything was falling into place. "How about this weekend?" Bada suggested, trying to play it cool, even though she was already mentally planning out every detail of their first date.

"This weekend sounds perfect," You agreed, your eyes meeting Bada's in a way that made the world outside the café fade into the background.

As you sat there, your hands inching closer together across the table, Bada realized that this was the start of something real, something she hadn't even realized she'd been searching for until she found it in Y/N. And for the first time in what felt like forever, she was looking forward to what came next.
