Your POV
Thursday.
Many thoughts were dancing in my mind all day long, as my eyes could only stare at the ceilings above me. The soft layer of my bed sheet caressed my back comfortably though I kept rolling back and forth. It was 3 in the afternoon, I tried my best to sleep because earlier this morning I just got home from camping. I really needed a rest.
But my body refused to, so I finally gave up after a good 1 hour of trying. Slowly, I brought my feet up to walk and grabbed my phone which I put on my study desk across my bed. 4 new messages popped out soon as I turned it on.
B.I - 01.55 pm
What are you doing now? ^^
B.I - 02.15 pm
Hey, why don't you reply my message? :(
B.I - 02.30 pm
Yoora-yah, are you sleeping?
B.I - 03.45 pm
Ah, nevermind.. Just, don't forget about tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 11am :)
Yoora - 04.00 pm
Sorry, I didn't check my phone earlier. Ne, I'll be waiting :)
I put my phone back from where it was before I grabbed a pen and started to write on the calendar next to my desk. First date, I wrote while showing a smile.
- Flashback -
"Because I like you." B.I looked through my eyes deeply, "So, will you please be my girlfriend?"
My world and surroundings seemed to stop for a moment, while a massive goosebumps feelings sprung inside my whole body right after his words flew to my ears. His gaze was all over me but I only replied to him with a blank expression.
"W-w-what?" I asked, stuttering.
Still looking at me, he leaned closer to my ear. "Will. you. be. my. girlfriend?"
B.I's voice became deeper, making me gulp my saliva. Once I opened my mouth to talk, words wouldn't come out and my mind was blank, so I pushed him a bit while I looked to the other side. After I took control of myself, my heart started to talk inside.
At this state, I might not know how my feelings really were to B.I nor Jungkook. Well maybe, I did have some feelings towards Jungkook. But honestly, I kept being uneasy around him because of Chaeyong. However... B.I would always be there to help me. Yes, he was the one who always protected me, comforted me. Dummy! And I just realized it now?!
Seeing me in the silent mode for too long, B.I decided to speak again, "D-do you need some time to think-"
"N-no..." I cut him off. Perhaps, he could help me forget my feelings for Jungkook?
"I- Uhm... Yes, I will be your girlfriend."
I gathered all of my strength before slowly looking at B.I, whose gaze never left me. But guess what? Now, it was him who seemed to be in an enormous shock and not even a smile spread across. Only his eyes were widened. Did he put a joke on me?!
"Hey, say somethi-"
My words were cut by his lips pressed against mine in a flash. And no, it wasn't only a two seconds kiss. It was a gentle, soft, and slightly passionate one, which made my eyes to shut unconditionally. I didn't fight this time. Ah, so he was fated to be my first kiss after all.
I pulled away after God knew how long. Panting, gasping for air as I didn't want the kiss to go intense any further. But the stars above us, all of which were probably still dancing in happiness after witnessed our scene.
"Haha..." B.I's laugh broke the silence. He stroke my hair gently and plugged one of its side behind my ear while leaning his face closer to my cheek. At first, I thought he was going to plant a kiss but BAM he bit me instead like a hungry cat.
"OUCH !!" I winched, "...THE HELL ARE YOU DOING B.I ?!"
"Hahahahaha, sorry! I couldn't help it since I thought your cheeks were tomatoes because it's so red!!"
"H-HEYYY!!! How could you say that after kissing me?!" I hit him repeatedly, I don't care! Of course, I would be embarrassed. It was my first time, unlike him.
"I'm sorry~ Maybe because I'm hungry~" B.I said as he used his arm to protect himself while still laughing.
"You're making your girlfriend mad already. Only after 5 minutes of dating."
"Heyyyy, don't be mad~ I was just kidding..." He cooed.
I threw my face to the other side and crossed my arms. Pouting angrily to pretend that I was mad. But while I was enjoying my acting, all of a sudden he pecked my lips then hugged me tightly as if I was a plushie.
"Yoora-yah~ Sorry..." He cooed once again.
S-So cute!!! B.I showed his aegyo which brought me to laugh. I ruffled his hair and he put on a giggle, his arms were still wrapping me.
"I was kidding too." I said.
Fascinated by my answer, B.I smiled widely before started to speak, "I love you."
But I only stared at him as he began to pout again, not making any sounds.
"Uhm, yeah..." I lowered my head, "Me too?"
Ah, right now I couldn't say I love you to him yet. But... I will try.
I will try to love you back, B.I.
- End of flashback -
I drew a small heart next to the words I wrote. Did you know how lucky I was because my school allowed us to rest for Friday and Saturday?! So here I was, dancing a broken ballet while landing my feet from floor to floor, ignoring the pain. Don't worry, my ankle had gotten better.
"Mr. Bunny, I have a date tomorrow. What should I wear?"
I pinched the cheeks of the bunny plushie while talking to it. Of course, it didn't reply back, I would die in fear if it does. Okay, silly me. Maybe I was too excited for tomorrow, it was my first date after all.
But after I played that bunny plushie for a while, all of the sudden Jungkook flashed through my head. My mind was automatically connected to the day he gave me this plushie. N-No way, I really should forget about him.
Again, the same uneasy feelings took over my body. That unbearable pain in my chest began to grow inside. Little did I know dots of wet surfaces were formed on my bedsheet as I realized I was crying. I quickly wiped my eyes before placing the plushie into a drawer that I rarely open, so I wouldn't see it again. Hope it would help me not to think about Jungkook.

Friday.
"Yoora, your boyfriend is here!"
Jina eonnie shouted from downstairs while I quickly grab my purse before buzzing off from my room. Not that fast while descending through the stairs because I still had that slight pain on my ankle.
"Coming!!"
A smile spread across my face when I saw him right at the end of the stairs, just like a prince waiting for his princess.
Wait.
Snap it, Yoora. I thought soon as I reached him. Yeah, he was handsome af but for me to compare myself to a princess? Hell no. But at least I was cute.
He smiled back at me and grabbed my hand to go towards the front door. But before that Jina eonnie caught my shoulder then whispered audibly.
"How dare you got yourself a boyfriend when your grades are freaking low? You still need to study or I won't let you date."
"H-he's also my tutor, eonnie." I said it quickly as I made my way out from the house before she could throw me a bunch of questions.

I wasn't that shocked when he brought a car again. It was a totally different car today, and he was driving this time. From what I remember previously the color wasn't white, this one was also a bit bigger. Preach, how many cars does he own?
"Your noona was ... kinda scary." B.I said while driving, still focusing on the road.
"Yeah... But, I know she actually loves me."
"I'm sure she does. Anyway, you're cute today!" For a second he peeked to my side while showing his full-of-love smile. With overwhelming happiness inside, I eyed my mint colored sweater which went well with my white skirt.
B.I drove to the mall. Well, the only mall in our town to be exact. This was so unexpected, but I wasn't even nervous being around on my first date. Maybe because he was an expert at this kind of thing.
We went to various places, like, every single corner of this place. Once, he was a step farther than me while we were admiring through some shop. I followed him slowly, until my eyes caught his hand hanging at his side. S-should I take a hold of it? That's what people do on a date, right?
I was about to clasp our hand together but he ruined my plan by turning his body over, facing me. My body jolted a bit before he started to talk.
"Yoora.. wait here."
He came back after a minute with a big green Keroro plushie. I was bewildered by how enormous it was, probably 3 times bigger than the bunny plushie from Jungkook.
"This is for you!!" He squealed.
"A-ah..." I tried to get a hold of it, but it was too huge that I completely had a hard time hugging its body, "T-Thanks but, this is soooo big, B.I!"
"That's why, so you can pretend that plushie was me and hug it all night long!"
"Seriously." I nudged him with the Keroro.
"Hehe. Hey, let's go to the cafe, shall we?" He finally offered his hand so that we could hold hands like a pro couple. Ah, but my hands were already full by hugging this Keroro plushie! B.I realized it and not long after he followed with a small laugh.
///
The Keroro plushie sat next to me, being an eyewitness of the kinda romantic scene between us. B.I, who was in front of me, scooped the ice cream casually and fed it inside my mouth. A typical lovey-dovey, aren't we?
"Yoora-yah, next time, let's go to the amusement park after your leg is completely healed." He said between our talk and I nodded.
A relaxing beat of the music made us enjoy every second of our moment. From time to time I noticed some guys were staring at me from outside because we were sitting next to the see-through window. But B.I stabbed them a glare right into their soul, like always, protecting me. He wasn't really a bad boy, was he?
Sadly not long after, our happy moments were stopped. All of a sudden B.I spat a numerous cough. Though he tried to stop, it just wouldn't.
"B-B.I! Are you okay??" I came next to and carefully caressed his back to calm him down. It was really unexpected and scary, even brought my heart to pound in terror.
He didn't reply anything back as he kept coughing in pain, delivering me into a high level of panic. He stood up abruptly and walked away, but gesturing me not to follow.
"S-stay ... here." He commanded between the cough, before running outside the cafe and went to the bathroom. I was still here, sitting awkwardly with my mouth open. Until I spotted something red at the table.
A blood?
