Min-jun sends a text to his boss after he arrives home. He washed his hands and looked at the clock. 4:00pm. "How the hell did the time pass this fast." He heads out and gets in his car. He rushes himself towards his favorite shopping center. Min-jun wanders to his favorite clothing store, he looks around for a good 3 piece suit. He looks around and today he doesn't find something he likes.
He looks around, the employees don't even bother asking him if he needs help, they know he isn't here for the first time. He looks at a mannequin, a 3 piece suit, the fabric is soft to touch, only by the touch you can feel it ain't cheap. The suit was pure white, the jacket featured a single-breasted design with two buttons, offering a timeless look. The fabric had a subtle pinstripe pattern.
The pants were flat-fronted and tailored to a slim fit, creating a clean and modern silhouette and the mid-rise waist and featured belt loops, providing the option to accessorize with a belt if desired. Paired with the jacket was a matching vest that completed the 3-piece ensemble. The vest's pockets were both decorative and functional, adding an extra touch of elegance.
Min-jun looks at it and the price tag. 776,891 {586 dollars} He calls one of the employees.
"I want to purchase this" The employee goes to the back and brings the same suit, but Min-jun's size. "I guess you guys know me best!" He smiles and heads with the suit to the register. He pays with his phone and leaves with the suit in a special bag. In the bag was also a bottle of champagne, their gift for their most active customer.
He heads to the car, opens the trunk and places the bag inside. He gets inside the car, starts it and looks in the rear view mirror. "If this date goes well, I'll quit being a gangster." He moves out of his parking spot and heads home to prepare.
In his head this proposition wasn't as insane as it sounds. He truly believes it. He thinks of it on the drive home, he even starts playing music, but this thinking he might actually leave this life behind, no more beating people for no reason, no more protection money, no more crime. He wants this date to succeed.
He arrives home. He got in his room and placed the bag slowly on the bed. He looks at it. "At Least it's a good suit, sadly she won't see it." He gets in the bathroom and takes a shower, he uses his favorite shampoo that smells like lilac. It was a brisk shower, he felt pressed by time. He hastily grabs a towel and uses it to dry himself as much as possible.
"Who are you handsome?" He said looking in the mirror. He placed another towel on his head to dry it faster. He gets out and looks at the time, it's 5:24 pm, he sighs in relief.
"I thought I spent more on the shop and traffic." He opens text messages and starts texting his mother.
-Does she like champagne?
-I bet she does.
-Thanks, I'll bring some, I'll be there soon, I will take on my suit and be there soon. Love you mom.
-Love you
He puts the phone on the bed. He looks in the mirror in his bedroom. He dries his hair. Min-jun takes out the clothes and starts taking them on. The suit slowly started lookin fit for him more and more, every piece added, the more he liked it. He opens his huge closet and looks at his other clothes. "I should sell some of my old fits."
He grabs a belt to fit with his suit and closes it. He looks in the mirror and smiles. "Hope everything goes well." He goes to the bathroom and uses his favorite fragrance, something that people call feminine, but he likes how it smells on him. He grabs the bag with the champagne in it and goes down towards the door. He takes his shoes and exits his home.
He gets inside the car and sighs. "I never used this car in one day so much!" He starts the engine. And slowly moves towards his mother's apartment. He decides to go and buy a cake for his mother as a gift for her, he stops and buys one from a bakery on his way. The cake smells tasty.
After a half hour of driving he arrived at his mother's apartment building. He parks in front of the building and grabs the bag with the cake and gets the champagne out of the bag, he needs to act professional. He walks in the building and with the elevator get to his mother's apartment. He knocks at the door, his mother opens it and looks at her son.
"Hello there, handsome! Get inside." He walks inside and removes his shoes. "Thank you for welcoming me in." He hands the cake to his mother. "This is for you." She smiles at him.
"Oh honey, you shouldn't. " They move towards the dining room, the table was set with delicious food and drinks already poured in the glasses. His mother grabs the champagne.
"This will be mine, you need to talk more than drink, so thank you for this too." He looks around and notices everything is the perfect american date from the romance movies. "I got one question, will any other people but us in the apartment?" She shakes her head.
"Only you two. I'll be in her parents' apartment and gossip about you two."
She grabs the blindfold and puts it on her son's eyes. "Listen, you arrived early, she is not ready yet. When she is, I'll sit you both at the table, you won't see her, she won't see you, until you two decide if it's ok to see each other." He nods and sits on the chair wondering when she will come.
