Jungkook opened the door and his stomach was uneasy. Hoseok was there with a radiant smile that illuminated the world.

He had a gift basket at hand. His outfit was something Jungkook never thought he'd wear. Cute red sweater, black and red scarf, black jeans, and red vans to match his top.

Jungkook tugged at his turtleneck and smiled. "Hey Hoseok."

"Hello. I've brought you a basket."

He took it and glanced at the Christmas inspired hot chocolate packets and fluffy socks. The holiday was just a few weeks away and it was one of his favorites.

"Thank you so much. I—I didn't get you anything. I'm sorry." He murmured mortified. Was this a thing? Giving gifts on the first date?

Hoseok laughed sweetly, "No problem. I didn't get it for you so you'd give me something in return. I saw it and knew you'd love it."

"I do. Thank you. Do you want to come in?"

"No thanks. We should really get going. We have a drive."

Jungkook nodded and put the basket on the kitchen table. They headed to the car without talking. When they got there, Hoseok, being the gentleman that he was, opened up the door.

This sent butterflies all throughout Jungkook's blood stream. He didn't think he'd ever get this kind of treatment.

"So, uhh, where are we going?" Jungkook asked after a moment of silence.

"It's a surprise. You'll see."

The rest of the ride was not as awkward as the beginning. They listened to music and sang along to songs. Hoseok constantly complimented his beautiful singing and it made Jungkook blush every time.

Before they knew it, they had arrived. A two hour drive had never felt so short. Jungkook curiously looked to see where they were headed to and once he saw the sign his eyes lit up.

"It's a garden!" He said very mesmerized.

Hoseok smiled, "Yes. I read great reviews about it. Although it's winter,  it stays beautiful to explore."

Jungkook kept a smile on his face as they passed the front gate. Hoseok had bought tickets in advance and therefore the process was quick. After finding a parking spot they got ready to explore.

Hoseok quickly opened up the passengers door and Jungkook timidly blushed. He then opened up the door behind him and pulled out two big winter coats.

The chilly air was harsh enough to pierce through the sweater material. Jungkook looked at him slightly confused. Hoseok never stopped being so welcoming.

"I brought one for you since you had no idea where we'd go. I think it should fit."

Jungkook took it and put it on. The fuzzy feeling in his chest expanded all throughout his body. The coat smelled amazing and it was very warm.

He had always fantasized about wearing his date's coat. This was something he was finally able to mark off the list after twenty-three years.

"I printed out a map online and I think we should start here." Hoseok said, pulling out the paper and pointing to the location.

"Yes. Sounds good." He responded quietly.

They both kept a comfortable distance not wanting to make the other feel weird. The beauty of nature was mesmerizing. Jungkook couldn't keep his eyes off the garden.

And Hoseok couldn't keep his eyes off Jungkook.

There were occasional conversations that were started by Hoseok. Jungkook responded in short ways overthinking everything before speaking.

He was starting to get annoyed at himself. Why was he over analyzing everything when he had known Hoseok for years? This felt like they were meeting for the first time.

Eventually, he grew the courage to start speaking on his own. He cleared his throat and looked over at him catching his attention.

"Hoseok? Have you ever—?"

Before he could even finish his question, he was on the ground. He had been so caught up with speaking that he hadn't noticed the rock that he tripped on.

Hoseok immediately went into alert mode and quickly sat him up. He observed him for any injuries. Both of his palms were slightly scratched and his jeans dirty.

Jungkook's face was a fiery red. "I—I'm sorry."

"Sorry? No need to apologize. It's not your fault. Are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

Hoseok wiped off the dirt from his palms and jeans. Jungkook looked at him while lightly biting the inside of his cheek.

"I'm sorry." He repeated softer.

He smiled, shaking his head, "Don't be silly. Stop apologizing. It was an accident."

"Not for this. I'm sorry for being so awkward. I haven't been on a date since I was seventeen. Even then, it wasn't real. This is my very first time doing any of this and I don't know how to act. I know I'm quite boring."

The chuckle made him look up. Hoseok never stopped with the sweet expression, "You're not boring. You're everything I've ever dreamed of. Do you want to know something?"

He nodded shyly and Hoseok continued speaking, "This is kind of my first date too. I feel like I'm being super weird."

"Not at all." Jungkook responded more at ease. It was good to know they were both nervous, but it was strange. He wondered how Hoseok had never been on a date if he was the true definition of perfection.

A sudden cold drop on Jungkook's nose made him look up at the sky. His grin spread from ear to ear excitedly.

"It's snowing!"

"It is. We should probably get going before we freeze to death." He said as he helped him up.

Jungkook kept his right hand out trying to catch the soft snowflakes in his hands. They quickly melted with his body heat, but it was still fun. Then suddenly, he felt Hoseok grab his left hand intertwining it with his.

"Is this okay?" He wondered, slightly embarrassed in his question.

Jungkook nodded yet again and they continued walking down the path. Only this time the silence was comfortable.

•••

Jimin's mind raced and his heart didn't stay behind. Suddenly, he snapped back when Taehyung leaned over him to get his attention.

"Jimin?" He asked casually leaning on the opened car door.

"Huh? Yes? Sorry sir. I zoned out."

"I can see. I was telling you that I'm going to meet up with Yoongi and then will leave for a meeting with Namjoon. I won't be back until tomorrow afternoon."

His mind went into racing speeds again once he heard Yoongi's name. He had expected to see him at the front, but he was nowhere seen.

"Okay. That's fine. Thank you for letting me know."

"Awesome. Sehun take Jimin's stuff to the room and escort him there while I'm done talking to Yoongi."

Jimin got out of the car disappointed that he wouldn't see him until later. Even though he knew that he wasn't around, he still stupidly looked everywhere while making his way to the room.

During the ride in the elevator his nerves kept getting the best of him. What if Yoongi happened to be in the hallway?

Luckily, he wasn't near. Sehun put his suitcase down and excused himself from the room after asking if he needed anything else.

Jimin sighed and began unpacking to keep his mind occupied. It worked until he was done and had nothing else to do. His eyes traveled to the book on the nightstand debating whether he should try to read or not.

In the end, he decided to go shower as another pastime. This time he wasn't as lucky to not think about Yoongi. The shower was where he deeply thought.

He occasionally glanced over at his red string bracelet. The pain had seemed to subside. It was definitely still there, but it was tolerable. Mild. Nothing compared to what he felt before.

One thing he was certain of. Yuta was someone he would love for the rest of his life. But Yoongi was someone he was falling in love with and that was the truth.

The thing was, he wasn't completely sure about Yoongi's feelings towards him. At times, it felt like the feeling was mutual. Then again, he had an ex-girlfriend. What if he wasn't even into guys?

Once he was out and dressed, he put on regular clothes while pampering himself. The sun was beginning to set in the horizon and his nerves never went away awaiting Yoongi's arrival.

He made sure to brush his hair, apply cologne and look the best he could. Not seeing Yoongi for days had affected him more than he'd like to admit.

He sat on the bed and nervously fidgeted with his fingers as the time went by. Before he knew it, the sun was hidden away and it was nine.

Jimin slowly peeked through the door and saw Sehun standing there. He turned to face him before he was able to hide.

"Do you need anything sir?"

"No. I'm okay." He quickly replied, closing the door.

Sighing loudly, he took off his clothes putting on pajama bottoms. He dug through the drawers looking for a comfortable t-shirt to wear.

While he was doing that, Yoongi was walking down the hall to Sehun. He immediately became alert and smirked teasingly.

"Kissass."

"Imbecile." Yoongi greeted unfazed.

"You stupid—"

Yoongi put his arm out and pushed him away as he was trying to get all over his face. "You're such a child. Your impulsivity is your biggest flaw. That's why you don't succeed. Now hurry up, Taehyung has to be somewhere and needs you."

"I'm not going to let you talk to me that way. Why don't you get in there and console your slut? I'm sure he's worn out from all that fucking." He hissed, walking away.

Yoongi stared at the door,  unable to hide his angered expression. Two thoughts popped in his mind in that instant. One, shank Sehun in the stomach. Two, see Jimin though he wasn't ready to see him.

His need to see Jimin was very overpowering. So, he knocked on the door once he made sure Sehun was out the way.

"Come in." Jimin called.

Hearing his voice made his toes curl. He reached for the door, but hesitated immediately. Jimin repeated his words again, "Come in!" This time louder. He couldn't move, feeling frozen in time.

Jimin was stomping to the door annoyed. It was probably Sehun and he was not having it. Quickly, he put on a t-shirt as he opened the door.

The instant he saw Yoongi he squealed, pulling his shirt down to cover his exposed abdomen. Shyness wasn't one of his attributes, but with him that was different.

They stared at each other for what seemed like forever. Jimin felt the warm blush creep up his neck exposing his feelings. Finally, Yoongi spoke confidently knowing Sehun and Taehyung were gone.

"Can I come in?"
