Jiwon's Pov

After working on our projects for a long we finally finished; it was already late and Wonnie had already gone home leaving only Namjoon and me.

Waving goodbye to Namjoon, I left through the front door.

Humming a tune in my head, I was startled by a sudden touch on my body.

"Hey, I was calling you." Jin waved at me.

"Oh....hi, sorry, I didn't hear you." I said, smiling awkwardly.

"You are on your way home, right?" He asked a very obvious question as I nodded.

"I can't believe Joon allowed you to walk home alone this late." He shook his head in disappointment.

"It's no bother. My house isn't too far, and I think I will be fine"

"I insist. The streets can be a bit unsafe at this hour, and I'd feel better knowing you got home safely."

I nodded in approval as he took my hand, smiling at me.

"Besides, it's a perfect excuse to spend a little more time with you." He flashed me a smile.

As the sun set, casting a warm, golden glow over the streets. Jin and Jiwon walked side by side, their steps in sync.

Jin occasionally glanced at Jiwon, his love for her evident in his eyes. He couldn't help but smile as he remembered the earlier event of the day and her flustered face.

They arrived at her house, standing close to each other. The air thick with unspoken words and palpable tension.

Jin's eyes locked with Jiwon's, his gaze intense. "Jiwon, there's something I've been wanting to ask you,"he said, his voice barely a whisper.

Jiwon's breath hitched as she looked up at him, her heart pounding. "What is it?" She asked, her voice filled with anticipation.

He took a step closer, closing the little distance between them. "I've felt this way for a long time," he began, his hands gently brushing her cheeks. "Being with you feels...different, special."

Jiwon's cheeks flushed bright pink as she felt the warmth of his fingers. "This better not be a dream." She muttered lightly as Jin chuckled. "I also hope not."

They stood there, inches apart, the world around them slowly fading away. Jin slowly leaned in, their lips almost touching, feeling their breath on each other's lips.

Jiwon's eyes fluttered closed, her heart pounding racing with joy and excitement.

But as their lips were about to meet, a sudden noise broke them apart. The bark of a nasty dog startled them both, causing them to pull back slightly.

Jin laughed nervously in an attempt to break the tension and awkwardness. "I guess this is goodnight," he said, with a hint of disappointment heard from his voice.

Jiwon sent her goodbyes. Opening her gate, she turned back, seeing Jin staring at her. They made eye contact as Jin mouthed to her that he wanted to see her enter her home. She smiled at him and closed the gate, her heart racing super fast.

As Jiwon entered inside, he touched his lips and blushed.
