Linh's POV...
"Yes," I answer. I guess he was a bit surprised that our age gap is a bit far. Or maybe...he thought I was suppose to be older?
"So young. Yet I did guess that you're in your early 20s," he says with a shy smile.
"Well, you got that correct," I answer, also forming a shy smile myself.
"Well, you look very pretty tonight," he says, as he turns his head to the side while smiling. I noticed his cheeks are blushing a light shade of red, but other than him, I could also feel myself blushing at his sweet comment just now, or I could say he was a bit flirting. I definitely gotta thank Minh after for giving me such a fantastic make-over. Despite her being in a rather foul mood today, yet when she knew I was gonna get ready to meet Xiaoyang, she insisted that she wanted to do my make-up and chose my outfit. Minh also describes herself as a beauty and fashion expert, which I have to admit, she is. She told me to let my hair down and go with contact lenses, much to my usual style of messy ponytail and cat-eye glasses. As for my outfit, she told me to wear a dress so I chose my favorite one, which is a long sleeves gray dress that falls above my knees, complete with some baby pink flat shoes.
The waitress finally came along with our orders. As Xiaoyang and I start to enjoy our dinner, we continue to have light conversations at some points. Through out the dinner, I noticed that he has such a gentle nature. He would often get some food for me, in which I also did the same in return. Looking at his sweet act, I didn't need to ask myself twice that I found myself getting more drawn to him tonight.
An hour and a half later...
After a nice dinner with Xiaoyang, he insisted that he wanted to walk me back to my apartment. Though we live in the same environment in Saigon Lane, we stay in different towers.
"So you stay in Moon Tower?" he asks as the two of us continue to walk through the garden which connects the two towers to the mall.
"Yes," I say. As for him, he told me he stay in Sun Tower, just like Nar.
"I guess we're here," Xiaoyang says as we stop in front of the enterance of Moon Tower.
"Thank you for tonight, Xiaoyang," I say to him as I smile at him. Under the night sky, I noticed his brown eyes still sparkles in the most beautiful way, which for a moment, again got me allured by his gaze.
"You're welcome. You get some rest tonight," Xiaoyang says, as the two of us are now staring into each other's eyes. With the tension between us making the butterflies in me overwhelmed, I feel my heart starts to beat slightly faster. Usually I would only look at me from a distance, excluding the time we first met and when he asked for my number. Yet, this is the first time we are actually standing right in front of each other, face to face, and only a few inches a part. I start to study his charming face, which I realize that he looks more mesmerizing the moment I study his lovely details. His small yet fascinating brown eyes speaks the perfection of an enchanting gaze, while his cute thin lips fits his charming face perfectly, almost making me curious about....how they would taste like? Wait, did I just thought of that?
"Umm...ok, I shall go back now," Xiaoyang says, before shifting his gaze to the right side with his cheeks now blushing a deep shade of red. 
With his action breaking our eye contact, I snap back from my thoughts of studying his charming face just now. The awkward tension between us now makes me blush as well, as I deeply feel embarassed of my thought of wondering about his lips just now. Geez, Linh! Get your head in reality for a moment and stay focus on being normal.
"Goodbye, Linh. Have a good night," Xiaoyang says.
"Goodbye, Xiaoyang," I say while smiling at him. 
Xiaoyang waves at me before turning around and walk through the garden, heading back to his place. I stare at him from a distance as the sight of him slowly disappears, yet the vision of his face when we were only a few inches a part is still visible in my head. Like a song playing on repeat, I can't seem to shrug off the thoughts of him in this moment.
A few minutes later...
At Xiaoyang's place...
Xiaoyang's POV...
I walk over to my bed and sit down as I put my hand on head. Some people would probably think that I look like I'm in a frustrated manner, but right now I just need some alone time to breathe. Tonight's dinner with Linh turned out nice. Moreover I was quite surprised to know that she is still so young, yet the way she talks seems like she is older than her age. Well, I actually thought she was in her 20s, but 23? Not that it's a turn off or something, yet it just makes me feel somehow....guilty. To add it, I told her some things about myself, yet she doesn't know one thing about me, which I thought could disappoint her, if she knew. 
Linh, you're nice, and I won't lie that I found you to look pretty. But girl, I'm the one with the guilt. I have secrets.
The next day...
12:30 PM...
At the gym...
While Hoang decided to take some rest today, Linh and Minh decided to hit the gym for a good leg day session. Though they both agreed that leg day could be exhausting enough that some times, they wish they could skip, yet Minh always has a motto to not skip leg day, im which she often told Linh.
"Someone better not be using the smith machine," Minh whines at Linh. She already felt annoyed knowing that someone is probably gonna use the smith machine, since the gym is almost always crowded during weekends.
"Umm...sorry to say, but someone is already using it," Linh says in a low tone as both her and Minh enters the gym and is heading over to the smith machine. Her slightly widens, though she is not too surprised to see who is using the smith machine. It's actually pretty common to see him hanging out near the smith machine during the weekends. While using the smith machine, his white t-shirt shapes his muscular body perfectly, getting the attention of the two sisters and making them almost lose their focus.
"You weren't wrong, he's like a model," Linh says to Minh in a low tone.
"Shut up, he could hear us," Minh says, not wanting Nar to notice that they were fascinated by his good figure.
Just then, Nar turns his head up, slowly catching his breath. His eyes spot Linh and Minh who are standing not too far from him, in which he throws a sassy smile at them. 
"Hey," Nar says at the two girls.
"Hi, did you just arrive?" Linh asks as she walks up to Nar. Meanwhile, Minh just stood in the back since she was still feeling nervous at the sight of Nar who just smiled at both her and Linh.
"No. It's been half an hour," Nar says, while staring at Linh's brown eyes, yet vision soon slides down to her outfit, which he thought was quite a new sight. Usually he would always see the girl wearing t-shirts or tank tops, but today she decided to go with a crop t-shirt with her usual black leggings for the bottom. The leggings goes up to her waist, which shapes her slim waist. 
Man, I used to thought she had a nerdy fashion sense. Nar thought.
"I see. So how was dinner last night? Did you had fun?" Linh asks. She was starting to wonder about a random topic to throw at him and decided to go with the one that passes her head at the moment.
"It was nice. What about you? I bet you had a good time with your friend," Nar says in a playful tone. 
"Haha, it was good," Linh says. Though she wanted to think that Nar was being playful with his words, deep down she sense a bit of oddness in his words. Almost seems like he was a bit irritated, yet she couldn't really get the picture of it clearly.
"Anyway, I'll go workout now. See you," Linh adds.
"Yeah, see you," Nar says as he watches Linh walk away from him and heading to Minh, of course not before throwing a small smile at him, in which he found her to look cute.
To be continue...
