"Bestie… you have to make a move and fast if you want her to be yours…" she reminded. "I'll call you back!" and Jacob hung up the phone.

Sergio posted a picture of him and 𝘩𝘪𝘴 Taylin, on a date?! "Wait… I'm confused, I thought they were just friends!?" Jacob shouted in the phone. "Knowing her airheaded self… she thinks she's just hanging out with a friend. She is sooo… oblivious…" "I'll call you back…" Jacob told Bel.

"Sup B…" he answered. "Bestie… Listen… I know you think you are winning this fight, but I have some news." Bel warned. "What are you talking about? What fight?" Jacob asked. "Check Simsta…" Bel demanded. Jacob pulled up his Simstagram and refreshed. His eyes widened and his heart sank.

Jacob was working on his part of the project, still on a high from yesterday. Getting closer to his prize of Taylin, he couldn't wait to finally shoot his shot and ask her out. He felt his phone buzz and saw it was Isabella.

"Perfect! We will take two." Sergio said. Taylin looked at him… amazed. She was getting warm inside watching him take lead. Confused at this feeling she didn't realize that she started to become attracted to him. Suddenly, it hit her. 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦?

"Can I help you?" The barista said. Taylin was about to order, but Sergio confidently ordered for the both of them. "Can we get one matcha latte, one mocha latter, and… OH! Do you serve Danishes here?" "We do actually… just started today, I have to update the board."

Sergio followed her to the counter and said, "Mocha? Like chocolate? I could go for that." He then turned to her and saw her face beam when she correctly picked a flavor he would like.

Taylin was getting hungry and she pulled Sergio towards the counter, "Look… so Matcha is like a tea flavor, I think you would like… Mocha." Sergio allowed her to pull him, anything for her touch.

"I guess so… I usually get a matcha latte and a cheese Danish. But I don't think they have those here." Taylin turned back and stared at the menu. She then realized how close he was to her. She can smell his clean cologne… it stood out and she hated to admit; she liked it.

Sergio got close to Taylin and whispered in her ear, "What do you suggest?" "Huh…" Taylin turned to him, "This is my first time here too, remember?" "Oh… right." Sergio's smoothness was halted by a valid point. "I mean… you've been to a café before? I figured they all would be the same."

Taylin and Sergio went to a small café nearby for a light brunch. "Oh my watcher… this café is so cute!" Taylin squealed "You ever been here?" "I've… honestly never been to a café" Sergio confessed. "WHAT?! Oh Emm Dubs… we have to break you in" Sergio looked at how she beamed and grinned again.

He was wearing a loose sweater that showed a little of his chest and he was, ripped… 𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘛𝘢𝘺… 𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥. Sergio turned and waved back, "Hey you…" and began walking towards her.

"SERGIO?!" a loud but sweet voice yelled out to him. He turned and saw her standing there. She looked so cute out of her uniform. He could not help but give a warm smile at her. Taylin ran from the subway and saw him from afar. He looked… good…

Sergio waited in San Myshuno's Art District. He looked cool, but he was definitely nervous. This was his first date... and he did not know what to do. Hopefully, he makes a good impression...

She texted him back and he responded right away. 𝘗𝘩𝘦𝘸… 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦. Taylin thought. After their conversations, Taylin was excited to hang out with Sergio tomorrow.

Taylin was about to go to bed, but realized she hasn't checked her messages. She saw that Sergio texted her… 5 hours ago?! 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘵… 𝘐 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘐'𝘮 𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘪𝘮. Taylin thought.

Meanwhile at the Russo's residence. "He was over her house dude…" Sergio sighed, scrolling through his feed. "Did you text her?" Monty asked. "I did… but she didn't answer." "Well she was clearly busy… Give her a minute." Monty knew that Sergio was not only impatient, but is also a jealous sim.

Her eyes were hazel, her cheeks were rosy, and her lips… he wondered how they felt pressed against his. Right when Jacob was about to make a move, Taylin said, "Thanks for coming over… I wanted to make sure that we were still friends after the other day." 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴… 𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴? Jacob thought.

Jacob looked at Taylin's hand, he wanted to hold it so bad. Her small delicate hands were swallowed by the long sleeves of her sweater. I bet they are soft and subtle. Jacob thought. He then looked up to Taylin, her face was like no face he has ever seen…

"My cooking is very limited. So… I don't know about that." They both laughed out loud. Taylin looked forward. "I know we talked about this before, but I can't wait to move… It's so… quiet here. And you're going back to the big bright lights of Del Sol Valley. I can't say I'm not jealous."

Taylin walked Jacob outside and turned to Jacob and giggled, "Did you enjoy yourself?" "Are you kidding? I haven't felt a warm welcome like that in a while. It was so… comforting." Jacob said excitingly. "Can I come back over? I need some more Korean meals…"

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘵𝘦! Jacob thought. Haru then came home right when Jacob was about to head home. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Sato. I wish I could stay longer but I gotta leave now." Jacob said. "It's ok. Next time." Haru could not place it but it was something about Jacob that did not sit well with him.

"Our families were close when I was in high school. Your Uncle Hayden…" Tiffany said pointing to Taylin, "And Your Uncle Jonathan… are best friends." "You're Mr. Naylor's sister? I didn't know that" "Yup! So you are welcomed here anytime. Naylor's and Ward's are lifelong allies" Tiffany giggled.

"This is my classmate Jacob! I brought him over to have some bibimbap!" Taylin introduced. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Sato." Jacob greeted. "This is Jacob Polluck? Goodness you've grown up so much." Tiffany said. "Grown? We've met before?"

Plus, she would never choose that Sergio over him… he just needs to take his time with her. She is the prize. Tiffany arrived home and saw that there was a new face at the table. "Why hello… Who is this?" Tiffany asked.

"It's delicious!" Jacob cheered. "GREAT! I'm glad you like it." Taylin said while eating her food. Jacob started at her longingly. He couldn't stay mad at Taylin, she may have really just thought she was talking to a friend.

"I mean… you could use a plate, but we like our Bibimbap in bowls. Go sit at the table, I'll bring it to you" Taylin came over and sat next to Jacob and passed him his plate. He looked at it sideways at first, but saw Haeyoung and Taylin mix their food together. He did the same and ate a spoonful.

"Alright!" Taylin announced, "Dinner is ready!" "What is it?" Jacob asked. "Its called Bibimbap! Its Haeyoung's favorite. Its rice, beef, veggies, and fried egg can even go on top." "Ok… where's the plate?"

Jacob watched her in awe cooking… He started to daydream about her cooking in their home together after they were married with kids. Taylin was everything he wanted in a girl… hopefully she can see him the same one day.

"So your parents are both Korean?" Jacob asked. "Kinda… My Appa, or dad, is 100% Korean. Mom is like… 1/8th I think. Her Great Grandmother was Korean as well. But she does not mind being called mom. We tried calling her Umma… but… didn't feel right." Taylin explained while chopping up the veggies.
