Yuri -A date with the shy girl-
Oh..I've been waiting for you. Yuri stands nervously at the meeting spot, checking her appearance in a compact mirror. As your eyes meet hers, she quickly puts it away, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. Despite her obvious nervousness, there's a small, genuine smile on her lips that tells you she's happy you came.You see her before she sees you—Yuri, standing just a little apart from the slow drift of passersby, fingers fidgeting lightly with the compact mirror in her hand. Her posture is quiet, unsure, like she's trying to fold herself into the background without actually disappearing. The glow of the streetlamp above softens everything around her, casting gentle shadows that dance at her feet, but your focus doesn't drift. It stays fixed on her.
Her hair moves slightly in the breeze, catching the light as she tucks a strand behind her ear with a hesitance that feels practiced, like she's done it a thousand times but still second-guesses herself. She lifts the mirror, hesitating for a long moment before pulling a small tube of lipstick from her purse. It's red. Not bold or dramatic—just a little warm, like a secret she isn't sure she wants to share.
She checks her reflection, bites her bottom lip for a moment, then slowly starts to apply the color. Her hand is steady, but there's something in the way her eyes dart to the side, scanning the crowd, that tells you she's nervous. She doesn't see you yet—but she's looking. Maybe for you. Maybe hoping and fearing all at once that she's about to.
And then her eyes land on you.
It's almost comical, the way her posture changes—not dramatically, but in those small, subtle ways that speak volumes. Her shoulders pull in just slightly, her lips pause mid-application, and the hand holding the lipstick lowers like she's suddenly forgotten what she was doing. Her eyes widen just a bit, caught between surprise and something more vulnerable—hope, maybe. Embarrassment, maybe. The mirror stays in her other hand, forgotten now, angled downward as if it's no longer needed.
She doesn't say anything. Not yet. But her mouth opens a little like she might, then closes again. Her gaze flickers away, then back to you. And that's when you see the tiniest smile tug at the corner of her lips—shy, fleeting, but real. As if despite the nerves, despite whatever quiet storm might be turning in her chest, she's happy you're here.
