boyfriend goals || kang daniel

special chapter five

how did woobi manage to
date the real kang daniel?

"hey." he smiled, waving his hand excitedly. "hey, daniel!" woobi chuckled awkwardly, "it's kinda new you know. just the two of us." daniel commented, "it feels new without jinyoung, jihoon."

since woobi was discharged from the hospital several months ago, jihoon and jinyoung wished that woobi and daniel could actually get closer in real life. they took the two to countless hang outs.

"ice cream parlour? you and imaginary me used to come to this ice cream parlour?" woobi nodded at daniel's question. "you do like ice cream, right? choco mint?" she asked.

daniel grinned, "i like anything." he said. "my friend works here by the way."

they entered the ice cream parlour happily, immediately rushing to the counter. "jisung hyung!" daniel showed his eyes smile, which is always adorable in woobi's eyes. "oh, elementary kid kang!" the ice cream man said. the guy stared at woobi as she mentioned the orders, and then he stared at daniel. "wait, i remember you! so your boyfriend is actually my friend!" jisung scooped the ice cream they ordered.

woobi smiled, "we're not—"

daniel chuckled, cutting her words, "yes i am her boyfriend." woobi dropped her head low shyly. they're not in a relationship but he still did that. is the real daniel a boyfriend goals as well?

"thanks, hyung." daniel took the ice cream cups, nudging woobi who is still shyly staring at the table. the two walked to a small table for two around the corner.

woobi looked up shyly, "y-you don't have to say that.. you know." she mumbled. "you can just tell him i'm sick."

daniel frowned, "i don't want to do so, woobi. it's totally fine." he said, pushing the bubblegum ice cream in front of woobi. she gasped a little, "wait how did you know i like bubblegum flavour?" she asked.

daniel grinned, "lucky guess?"

woobi couldn't help but to let out another smile. "very lucky guess." she scooped the the cream.

"so are you that girl i hurt when we were just kids?" he started, "yes. your name was kang euigeon right? you're the one who promised to marry me. why though?" woobi blushed as the question is thrown.

"o-oh.. that one.." daniel giggled, "as soon as the ball landed on your head, i was so surprised that i ran to you, naturally holding your hands and asking if you were alright," he explained. "but then when i saw ny hands it was locked with yours, i was so surprised. i remember what my friends said about holding hands. you know that kids beliefs that if a boy and a girl hold hands they will have a baby." woobi couldn't help but to laugh at the innocence he got.

"i believed that thing and i thought i should totally be a responsible boy. with that, i promise that i will marry you." daniel followed woobi's laugh, "that was really embarrassing."

woobi shook her head in disagreement, "that was cute. i was dumb enough to believe that. everyday i would come to the park you played soccer at just to wait for you." daniel nodded, "and that is how i find you cute. you were sitting on the grass, looking at the game with a blank face. until one day, your family decided to move."

woobi nodded, "fate.. is indeed fate."

"since it's a good fate, i'm totally fine with it."

woobi stood up several minutes later, "i'm going to take more tissues." she walked to the counter.

jisung walked closer to woobi as soon as he spotted her around the counter, "he looks different." his words surprised woobi. she flinched a little before looking up, "y-yes?"

"kang daniel. he looks.. different. it is safe to say that he is interested to you. i mean yes you guys are dating, but he really looks like he falls for you everyday." woobi look back to check on daniel's smiling face, waving his hand to woobi.

"well.." she mumbled. woobi could only laugh awkwardly.

she sighed when she walked away from the counter, should he say that? woobi refused to lift her expectations up. she knows she like daniel since he was just her imagination, but the real daniel is just a new stranger to her. they grew closer because they're now friends. it worries her. a lot.

she sat back on the chair with tissues, placing it by her side.

"woobi are you free next week?" daniel asked. the question obviously caught her off guard. "next week?" she nodded slowly. "i wish this won't be the first and last date." daniel said. "me too." woobi said honestly.

they smiled at each other. "next week it is." daniel said. "i'll take you home now, or else that little brat park jihoon is going to kill me." he said, offering his hand.

woobi took it, and now they are locking their hands together.

"are we going to have a baby, kang daniel?" woobi teased, lifting their locked hands. daniel's cheeks turned pink, followed by a huge laughter from woobi.

they exited the ice cream parlour, hand in hand.
