Window to Window [Rewriting 1/24]

16

I shook my head and took Jimin's hands in my own. "No. No, I'm sorry Jimin, you don't have to apologise. It's just- I'm not used to it either. You know?" The words just wouldn't come out right, but I really did try to sound as sincere as possible, because I was. I didn't want to hurt Jimin, in any way.

"I know." He looked up at me and our eyes locked for a bit before he exhaled through his nose (a.k.a. laughed) and shook his head. "Come on, let's get going, I'm not quite done with you yet." I smiled back at him and gladly accepted his outstretched hand, but I didn't expect him to hold my hand, with our fingers intertwined and everything. It felt, nice. Bubbly and nice. My whole body tingled for a moment and I had a sneaking suspicion that Jimin felt the same as he squeezed my hand and smiled extra wide.

We had walked for a bit before my curiosity got the best of me. Or maybe I was just getting bored? "Where are we heading?" No one except for me and Jimin was at the beach, probably because today's weather wasn't considered 'beach weather', but the chilly wind felt nice against my cheeks and silently I thought that this was the perfect beach weather.

"Secret. But it's nothing big, just something I thought you'd like." Jimin shrugged and continued to walk, he didn't even look at me as he spoke. In fact, he seemed to be avoiding looking at me.

"That is big, to me. That you'd think of me. Thank you." I knew it sounded silly and I knew it didn't come out as I wanted it to, but Jimin chuckled, and he seemed to be enjoying himself despite my awkward self.

"Well, of course, I'd think of you. It's you who I'm bringing on a date, silly." Jimin bumped his shoulder into mine and (finally) looked at me again, our eyes met for a long while for the second time that date and I realised that Jimin had probably been fighting down the blush that was still hinting at the tops of his cheekbones. I gulped as Jimin's eyes flickered down to my lips. It's not that I didn't want to kiss him, I did, I just- I was afraid I wouldn't be good enough. Or that I'd do something wrong. I know that was stupid of me to think, but I did. "Oh, we're here." Jimin shone up like the sun as he waved to someone standing behind me. I turned around and saw a little yellow ice cream stand, very much standing there. But as I looked closer I could see that it was none other than stranger-boy that was standing, in the stand. Oh god. "Hey, Jeoncock, be nice to Yoongi, yeah? I don't want to scare him off quite yet." Jimin laughed as he approached the boy behind the window thingy, leaving me a mere metre behind. "Yoongi, Jeoncock-aou, fine. Yoongi, this is Jeongguk. Jeongguk, this is Yoongi." Jimin motioned between us and Jeongguk reached his hand out to shake mine. How do you shake hands again? Oh, right. I don't. But I tried my best and it seemed to have been successful as Jeongguk smiled at me after.

"So this is the Min Yoongi, huh?" Jeongguk crossed his arms over his chest and I felt very small, extremely small even. "You better make him happy, because he wasn't very much so without you." Jeongguk pointed a warning finger at me and I gulped.

"How does he know my surname?" I discretely whispered to Jimin, and his cheeks went beet red as he explained that they might've done a bit of professional stalking in their free-time. "Right. Uh, yeah. I'll take care of him."

I didn't know what to say thereafter so I let Jimin take control over the conversation once again. "Now, young one, get me two scoops of your finest chocolate ice cream." Jimin grinned when Jeongguk rolled his eyes and he mumbled grumpily as he went to get the 'goddamn ice cream, that's the same they sell at the supermarkets, by the way'.

"There you go, one for asshat and one for our new squad member." Jeongguk had very sneakily put the two scoops in the same ice-cream cone, and Jimin had complained about this, but Jeongguk had some very strong arguments as to why he couldn't change that now, so it had to do.

"Also, no one says squad anymore, loser. I'll see you around, yeah?" Jimin raised his brows as we started to back away from the stand and Jeongguk nodded.

"See you around."

Jimin had given the ice cream to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it, not that it was anything special, but it was ice cream and it had been given to me by Jimin; which, actually, made it a bit special. "Can I have a taste?" Jimin asked and I nodded. I was ready to give the cone to him, but he was quicker and swooped down to get some whilst I was holding it. "Mhm, definitely chocolate this time as well."

All in all, it was a nice date. We joked around and shared some inside jokes, like how Jimin always ordered chocolate flavoured ice cream just in case it tasted different from any other time. But then they were back at their houses and with that, the moment that Yoongi dreaded the most. The goodbyes. "Thank you, for going out with me. I hope you had a good time." Jimin smiled that really wide smile again that made his eyes turn into nothing but slits on his face, but he wasn't showing any teeth, it was just a big ol' goofy smile.

"I did, I did. It was great. Thank you too, for asking me out." I smiled back and blinked dumbly at Jimin. What does one do now? Jimin seemed to know the answer to this as he gently grabbed my chin and leaned in, slowly, to see if I'd shy away, I suppose, but I didn't get the chance to react before he'd placed a very soft kiss on my lips and after he'd backed off, said goodbye and started to walk to his house I once again felt myself missing his touch. 

"Wait, Jimin!" I didn't know why I stopped him when I did, but as he turned around and looked back at me, I did. So I ran the short distance he'd gone so far and cupped his cheeks to place another - not quite as soft - kiss on his lips. A quiet exhale of approval left Jimin and I could physically feel him melting into the kiss. It felt nice because that meant I did it right, hopefully. At least right enough for Jimin to want to kiss me some more.
