Wu YiMing stood before the full-length mirror in her bedroom while she looked at her reflection of herself.
She was dressed up in one of her best outfits. One that Her dear friend had bought for her on a special occasion.
Although it brought back the old memories of her friend, she still loved the feeling of wearing it.
She smiled at herself in the mirror as she slowly turned to grab the comb on the table.
She wasn't too good at make-up so she didn't think of applying any of them. She simply put on her outfit, combed down her hair nicely, and got ready for her so-called date.
She had to sneak out through the exit door without making any noise. She didn't want Her aunty to know about her leaving. He would ask her where she was off to and certainly wouldn't let her go.
So she simply sneaked out and left the house quietly.
She was finally out of the house when she stood at a distance from the building and began her Mission of waiting.
With her hands tucked inside the overcoat she wore, she began waiting for Her date to arrive.
YiMing couldn't say it was a date but she'd like to see it that way. Her first date. He hadn't called it that but YiMing wanted to see it in that way.
The chill of the night sent shivers of cold down her spine. She was covered up pretty heavily but the cold was still getting to her.
She could only tuck her hands deep in her overcoat pocket while she blew off smokes of cold into the air.
She wondered how long she'd have to wait for him. Few Minutes? Half an hour? An hour? She guessed she was willing to wait on him.
But then again, she discovered the waiting didn't take that Long.
"Did you wait long?"
She had heard someone say as she quickly turned to see her senior standing behind him. She had panicked at the shock of someone sneaking up on her. But on seeing who it was, she was relieved.
"Oh...No," She said managing a smile "I...I had waited just for some time" She said biting her lower lips.
He was dressed in a black all down with a black overcoat as well. A black hat was also over his head.
He then looked around "It's cold out here tonight, are you feeling cold?" He asked looking at her.
YiMing wondered if he was caring about her. If he was, then she could feel the warmth of his care!
"Uh.Not so cold" She said.
"Then, I guess we should get going to the place, right?" He had his eyes on YiMing which made it hard for her to make eyes contacts with him. She was avoiding his gaze.
"Uh...I guess so" She managed to say.
"Do you want to see something interesting?" He had asked her again.
"Uh? Something interesting?" She asked, now looking up to meet his deep eyes.
He said nothing more as he placed a hand over her shoulder "Close your eyes..." He said in a drifting tone...
YiMing slowly followed his orders and allowed her eyes to close...
"And then see imagine yourself being in the restaurant you like the most...." He said in a rather hypnotizing tone...And YiMing did just as he said.
"Now...Open your eyes..." He said as she slowly opened her eyes.
To her greatest surprise, they were standing before a restaurant!
YiMing was extremely astonished as she looked around her. She couldn't believe her eyes, this was pure magic! And it was undeniable!
They were standing before the Melody restaurant, not the fanciest restaurant in town but a restaurant that brought back memories with NaYin.
This place was her best place to eat because of NaYin who always brought her here and would treat her to yummy meals.
NaYin had said this was the restaurant Where her parents had first met so she enjoyed coming there. And YiMing liked the place Because of NaYin.
So it was no surprise she'd think of here.
"Is this the place you wanted to be?" He asked.
YiMing slowly nodded looking into the restaurant. The memories she'd spent with NaYin in the restaurant had begun flashing into her head getting her nostalgic.
"But..." YiMing looked up at Him "Senior how did you know it was here?"
"Like I said... Think of a place. So it wasn't me who brought us here...But you through your thinking" He said.
She found the logic reasonable" Then...How were you able to do it...."
Like he knew what she wanted to ask, he placed a finger across her lips to shut her up.
"Let's eat first, then questions later"

SiChen majestically walked out of the building after he was done with his duty.
Dressed in black with the hat hanging above his head, he made his way to his car after another job well done.
The image of a reaper walking down the stairs, under the dimly lit streetlights was made, but to the eyes who could see.
Still invisible, he approached his car which was parked across the road. And when he got there, he Walked through and appeared inside the car, sitting in the driver's seat.
He let out a long sigh. He was now in human form and dressed in his previous outfit.
Feeling exhausted for the day, he placed a hand over the Stirling to start his car.
"You must enjoy your job of taking souls?"
He heard someone ask beside him...
