AND THEN YOU CAME

She caresses my head. "I wish we can both get out of here too."

After few moments, we let go of each other, but not completely. I still hug her waist.

"So, is it the rice cake boy?" She asks me, eyes gazing me playfully as i look away in embarrassment.

"Well, i'm not really sure yet. But mom, i swear he's a really nice guy."

"I know. My daughter can choose wisely, i know that." I smile at her words.

"Let's not ruin this beautiful morning okay. Come on, you have to eat first."

I remembered about the tray, and i quickly hug her one more time. "Oh, you didn't have to, mom, i'm not a baby. But, thanks though. You're the best i have."

I decided not to visit Jimin in the end, because apparently, dad is at home 24/7 since it's weekend. I just lock myself up in my room, having fun all by myself and just text Jimin to let him know that i couldn't make it.

park jimin

nam jieun

it's really sudden

park jimin

anw, are you free tomorrow?

nam jieun

park jimin

😬

My eyes widen at the last word. A date?!

nam jieun
are you being serious jimin?

nam jieun
you just removed the cast
are you sure you can go out?

park jimin
sorry, is it too sudden?
let's go next week then?
i mean it.

I cover my mouth as i read the text. There was a freaking '.' after the last word, he's totally serious!

I can feel my cheeks burning up already. Oh come on, Jieun. Stop doing that cringey thing.

nam jieun
hmm, alright then

park jimin
yay!!
i'll let you know where we're going later okay
😋😋

I smile, dumbly nodding to myself.

nam jieun
sure sure
make sure it's a fun place okay

park jimin
aye aye captain!

I lock my phone, rolling over here and there on the bed like a crazy woman. I stop after few moments, looking up at the ceiling with an idiot smile on my face.

Am i falling in love again?

Oh, this is absolutely cringey.

I put extra effort on my makeup today, since it's a wedding party. I was hesitant at the beginning, but i guess i don't have to anymore. The party is just this fancy. Now i wonder if i'm underdressed.

"You look perfectly fine, don't doubt yourself."

I turn around and find Hoseok approaching me. He's neatly dressed in tuxedo, his hair parted. Wow, this guy looks breathtaking.

"You look good today." I praise, accepting the wine glass that he offers.

He just wiggles his brows proudly as a response.

"I know you're gonna hate this but, have you seen Taehyung? I need to talk to him." he asks, and as expected, he earns an eyeroll from me.

He quickly understand it as a no. "I'll be right back okay? Let me say what i have to say before i forget."

I nod and he walks away, with every young woman's eyes following him. I wonder why he's single.

I'm enjoying the fancy party by myself. I can do this pretty well. Enjoying things by myself, i'm used to it.

Just then, i feel somebody's hand snaking their way behind my waist. I gasp and turn around, eyes meeting somebody unfamiliar.

The guy quickly learns that i'm not used to his touchy gesture. "Sorry if i shocked you, gorgeous. Are you alone tonight?"

I take a step away, ignoring him. However, this stranger takes a step closer to me.

Shit.

"What's your name? Can we spend the night together? I guess we're both alone."

My heart beats faster as i'm getting scared. I know i shouldn't judge this fast but, this guy looks a bit too flirty for someone i just met.

"She's with me."

Both i and this bastard turn to source of the voice.
