@arieswritten   whispered   ::   [   date   ?   ]   daniel   kim   asking   her   on   a   date   !

      𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰   𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬   𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝   𝐭𝐡𝐞   𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠   𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦   ,   pen   jotting   down   tiny   notes   here   &   there.   its   important   to   conduct   pre-investigation   research   !   she   needs   to   get   a   feel   for   the   tiny   apartment   ,   learn   her   surroundings.   she's   been   called   by   the   landlord   to   investigate   some   reports   of   things   going   bump   in   the   night.   loud   bangs   on   the   wall   ,   unfamiliar   voices   whispering   ,   a   few   reports   of   faint   figures   on   the   stairwells   at   night.   as   far   as   des   can   tell   ,   there   doesn't   seem   to   be   anyone   or   anything   malicious   hauting   the   halls.   there's   an   older   woman   standing   in   the   room   along   with   a   young   man.   when   the   older   woman   excuses   herself   ,   des   feels   the   other   stranger's   eyes   lingering   on   her   —   he's   rather   handsome.   oh   god   ,   she   thinks.   say   something   !   you're   so   painfully   awkward   .   .   .

      his   voice   breaks   the   silence   first   ,   however   ,   and   the   question   he   asks   is   not   one   des   expects   by   any   means.   her   face   immediately   flushes   ,   prompting   her   to   turn   on   her   heel   and   act   distracted   ;   like   she's   writing   something   important   in   that   notebook   of   hers   when   in   actuality   ,   she's   trying   to   think   of   the   right   thing   to   say   !   ❝   hm   ,   ❞   she   finally   turns   back.   would   it   be   wrong   to   date   a   client   ?   she   was   supposed   to   be   here   on   business.   ❝   i   mean   .   .   .   i   have   been   looking   for   someone   to   show   me   around.   i've   never   been   this   far   away   from   home   before.   ❞   she   responds   shyly,   closing   her   notebook   and   holding   it   close   to   her   chest.   ❝   i'd   love   to.   we   can   go   after   i   finish   up   here   ?   unless   you're   interested   in   conjuring   up   some   spirits   with   me.   ❞   a   wiggle   of   her   brows   follows.   what   could   go   wrong   with   mixing   business   and   pleasure   ?
