some would say that yours and se-mi’s age gap was… risky. but 19 and 26 isn’t even bad. you’re both adults…

but a lot of people, upon first learning of your age gap, found it concerning. who cares though?

se-mi worked at a mechanic in a garage, and she had a 8pm shift today, but you wanted to see her, and your classes finished at 6pm. so you did.

you drove down to where she worked to stop by and say hello.

she wasn’t working outside, like usual.. that’s fine. you can just ask the guy at the desk.

“hi, is se-mi here?” you asked politely, smiling at the man behind the main desk.

he nodded, chuckling heartily. “yes, she is. one second.” he went through the employee door and called out her name, coming back after a few seconds. “are you her younger sister, or something?” he asked.

your face flushed slightly as you laughed, shaking your head. people often thought that. “no, no. girlfriend — actually.”

the man’s eyebrows raised in surprise, but he didn’t say anything as se-mi walked into the entrance room in cargos and a tank top, sweating slightly, her hands messy with oil. she smiled upon seeing you. “hey sweetheart.” she said, walking over to you and kissing you softly; careful not to leave stains on you while cupping your cheek gently.

the man behind the desk made eye contact with se-mi after she pulled away. “didn’t know you were playing that low below your range..” he teased.

se-mi rolled her eyes. she got that a lot. instead of replying, she turned back to you. “why are you here? everything okay?”
