Seokjin's Pov:

When I called my mom and told her I was going on a date, she took things to a whole other extreme and started warning me about the importance of condoms and birth control. She even suggested that she would take me to the doctor when she and dad got home so I could go on birth control if I was going to be sexually active. I tried telling her I wasn't, it was a date, my first date, I did not even know what to expect.

After hanging up the phone with her, I did not want to go on a date anymore in fear she was going to think I had sex. Sex was the furthest from my mind. Taehyung wasn't even my boyfriend, this was our first date ever, I still was not sure if he really liked me as much as I like him. Hearing what those boys said in the bathroom at school really scared me too, I guess if they were asking me if I did stuff like that with Taehyung, he had done it with other people also.

Originally when Taehyung asks me to go out, I was nervous about it, yet excited at the same time. I had never been on a date, much less do anything worth talking about on the weekends, so this was my first time going out with someone who wasn't my parents. He wouldn't tell me where we were going, not that I had asked anyway, only that he would pick me up at seven.

Never in my life had I tried on so many outfits. Taehyung always dressed well, so I could only imagine how he was going to show up tonight. I didn't have much of a sense of style. I put on whatever worked. Tonight I couldn't do that, I had to at least look normal. I wanted to call Jimin and ask him for help, but I didn't want to bother him. I had ignored him so many times, it wasn't right for me to call him for help with this.

It was six fifty-five when I finally settled on my outfit. It was nothing special, just a white shirt, black jeans, and a denim jacket. I looked just like I did going to school, except the jeans were new, my mom had gotten them for me, but I never wore them to school because they fit a bit too snug comparing to my other jeans. I didn't want to wear them tonight either, but my mom said I should try to look different.

I walked outside and waited by my gate for Taehyung, I didn't want him to come, and I wasn't ready. He strikes me as someone who would not be happy if he came, and I was not ready. I was already nervous about a million things, I didn't want to add any more stress to my night.

Just as I imagined, Taehyung arrived at seven on the dot.

Taehyung's Pov:

I had reserved a table at a Korean BBQ restaurant where Jin and I would be able to prepare our own food together. I thought it would be perfect for a first date, so I could get to talk to him more. I figure it would make him get more comfortable around me too. I wanted him to be my boyfriend, and I was not going to waste any time in asking him.

"This is nice a place," Jin commented as we stepped into the restaurant; I allowed him to walked ahead of me with the hostess, which provide me a good view of how he was looking in his jeans. I doubt I had ever seen him in those, I am sure I would remember if I did. I love the way they fit him.

Realizing I was staring at his legs in the jeans way too long, I shifted my focus to look around the restaurant while we walked to our table. It was our first date, I didn't want to scare him away.

Taking our seat, Jin smile wide as he looked over the menu, which made me smile. If there was one thing I knew for sure was that Jin loves food. I took my phone out and snapped a picture of him. Jin looked at me with his eyes wide, "You took a picture of me?"

"I did, you look handsome. Now, have you decided what number you want us to order?"

His cheeks turn red, and he looks back down at the menu, "You choose, I am okay with anything."

"No, I want you to choose. Tonight is about you." I was sitting back in my seat, looking at him as he blushed even more.

"What if I choose something you don't eat?"

"I will eat anything you pick for me." even if it includes you.

Jin sighs and looked back down at the menu, "How about number 7?"

I looked down and realized it was the combo, mainly with steak and pork belly. "It's perfect."

"Okay." he smiled and put the menu down. "Do we wait for the waiter to come, or do we put it in here?" He asked, pointing to the tablet on the table.

"Let's use the tablet." I took it up and placed our order then I excused myself to put in a special request to our waiter for later.

When I returned to the table, Jin was sipping on his water, so I scooted in beside him, making him jump in shock. "You scared me."

"Sorry, I wanted us to take a picture together, can we?" he gave me a small nod.

Wrapping my arm around his shoulder, I pull him closer to me and lean my head against his and snapped a picture of us. He didn't smile the first time, so I told him to smile and took the picture a second time.

"Are you still nervous around me?" I returned to my seat. I wanted to stay sitting next to him, but I didn't want to make him uncomfortable, especially considering I knew I could get a bit much at times, the distance was a good thing.

"No, not really. I am just confused."

"What are you confuse about?"

"You liking me. I don't want to end up hurt." I felt bad, bad that he would think I would ever do something like that to him.

"I don't want you to end up hurt either, Jinnie. I like you, I like you a lot. I will never intentionally do anything to hurt you, and I want you to trust me, give me a chance to show you, okay? If it makes you feel any better, I get nervous too."

"You do, why?"

"Being around a handsome guy like you who is so innocent and perfect makes me nervous, nervous that I will mess up this chance with you." It was the truth, I was worried that I would.
