I racked my brain for a possible way out of this. Suddenly..
"Uhm, officer my fiancée here just came back from overseas. We're heading towards the bureau now to get his license. Here, take mine instead." I rummaged my wallet to find my newly-acquired, unused driver's license. Good thing I learned driving and had this, even if I still don't have a car.
"Here you go officer. I'm sorry for breaking the rules. How should we settle this?"
The officer looked at my license. "Hmmm, seeing that he just came back, I'll accept this. Sir, may I see your passport? For identity purposes only."
Please, please, please let him have the passport, I silently prayed. I looked at Minho, and I saw him breaking a smile.
"Sure, officer. Wait a minute." He opened the glove compartment box, and took out his passport. Oh thank God.
"Here you go officer," handing it to the officer. The officer looked back and forth from the passport to Minho.
"Good. You'll only have to pay the fine for illegal parking. If this happens again, the fine will double. Third time, we'll take your license."
"Yes officer." Minho and I said in unison.
"You have to pay 4,000." Wow! That's too... Just then, I saw Minho taking out his wallet and paid the officer. He wrote something, then returned our things.
"Sir, go directly to the bureau and get your license. That won't take too much time since I think you have your license from overseas. Just show it to them. Take care." And then he went back to the police car and drove off.
"Whew. That was nerve-wracking."
Minho started the engine. "Thank you Cass. That was a close call."
"I know. So we have our first priority. Get your license."
"Eh?" He sounded annoyed.
"Yes we should. How are you going to drive next time? Now let's go. The bureau is just at the next intersection."
Minho didn't answer but I saw his lips curled upwards. "So, fiancée huh?"
I opened my eyes wide. "No that was just a reason to the officer. Oh my. Why did I just choose that for a relationship status?"
Minho chuckled. "Sounds good."
I blushed. I don't know how to answer that. Gosh Cassidy so stupid.

We arrived at the bureau, and we were ushered immediately to the second floor. 10 minutes after, Minho got his license.
"So, to the City Square right?"
I reddened, remembering the embarassing situation earlier. I smiled knowingly at him, "And I know now the way."
*** City Square***
The City Square is a recreational place here in the city. The center of it is a small lake surrounded by sparse pine trees. It is a common picnic area as well, since it provides cool air and serenity. The main road is a little far from it.
The City Square once belonged to a rich family, but the family went abroad and gave the land to the government. The governemnt then decided it to be uses by the people but the gate and the fence has been maintained to keep the security.
The mansion, located at the far right of the estate, is still being used as a hotel for important visitors. The left side was used as a horse's stable before, but was now converted to a wide parking lot.
At the center of these two is a fountain with a sculpture of a beautiful lady at the top. This was coined by the people before as the 'Fountain of Youth', as the beautiful lady is the goddes of youth herself, Hebe. Many people toss a coin here to ask and wish for youthfulness, to return what was lost to them to feel youthful again.
I looked at Hebe. Will she bring back my happiness to feel youthful again?
I was a bit distracted on a person jumping in front of me.
"Minho why are you jumping? Are you a kid?"
He laughed. "This is such a nice place! Let's go buy those picnic materials. You should have told me! I could have made some sandwiches!"
I laughed at Minho's enthusiastic face. "Okay kiddo. Lets go buy. There are food stalls too." I pointed my hand at the stalls and started walking towards them.
Minho took my hand, and together we approached the stalls.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
