29

Weeks have passed, our debut date is getting nearer and my heart is growing bigger each time.

Despite our busy schedule, we still find a way to meet each other. He still manages to leave a box of milk by my locker with a note of encouragement and I would manage to send him food during breaks.

And I still have no idea what we are. I guess a relationship with no label? Or mutual understanding?

It doesn't matter anyway, I'm content with whatever we are right now.

"Mia!" A voice she's already familiar with catches her attention. "Here," he waves his hand as he gets out of the car.

I approach him with a sweet smile as he opens the passenger seat for me to enter.

"So, where are we going?" I ask once he starts the car.

"You'll see." I could see the excitement from his face. I view the buildings we go past with in awe. I've never really driven past the city at night, so seeing all the bright lights was overwhelming.

But I start to get nervous when the view goes back to normal street lights. I thought we would eat in the city? My feelings doesn't settle as we start driving up a mountain. I look at him nervously, but he only chuckles, placing his free hand on top of mine, calming me down.

"I never knew this place existed!" I say in astonishment. We head inside, sitting by the window, seeing the breathtaking view of the city of Seoul.

Soon after sweet romantic dinner, he drives back to a park near my dorm. He gets out of the car, so I follow him out.

"Let's go for a walk." I nod my head in response, looking down at my held purse as we slowly stroll around.

"I'm happy the night has perfectly gone with what I had planned so far. I wanted to say something important." I could hear him gulp, making me anxious.

"I know we don't often get to see each other as much anymore- well, physically, because you're in my mind all the time." I scoff, trying to hold my laugh in from his cheesiness. "Stop, I'm trying to be serious."

"Okay I'm sorry, continue."

"I'll keep it short. My feelings are growing each day, and I've come to really, really liking you," he pauses. I purse my lips, resisting the beam of smile I have in my mind. All of a sudden, he halts to face me, so I'm forced to look at him.

I curse in my head, seeing his ethereal face, I didn't want to smile like an idiot in front of him.

"I wanna make us, official." He states, making me choke out of nothing. I look at him, startled. But the sincerity in his eyes composes me.

"But Bang PD-nim, doesn't-"

"We don't have to make it public. Celebrities do it all the time, we can just continue like always. I just want to assure that you're mine."

"Pshh," I finally laugh, "well I feel the same way." I pout my lips, shy.

"So... does that mean...?"

I walk away, strolling on my own.

"I still don't know your answer." He catches up to me, grabbing my hand.

"Yes, Jimin. My answer is yes."

"Really?" He jumps, ecstatic before pulling me close to hug me tight.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe you're mine!" His energy is contagious as I grin into his chest.

The rest of the night was pretty much trying to pull myself together and not kill someone from my own excitement.

I shudder from the late night spring breeze. Jimin notices and with no hesitant takes off his jacket to put on my shoulders.

"No it's fine, you'll be cold." He stops my hands from pulling it off.

"Oh you don't know how much I've been sweating these whole time," he states, making me giggle.

He slips his hands onto mine like a serpent, grabbing it in its capture, coiling each fingers with mine. The warm energy from his hands creeps up to my face, causing my smile to reach my eyes.

*camera clicks*

Jimin didn't have to see her face for him to know she was smiling. He wished for her smiles, for this moment to last forever.

We make it back to the building of my dorm. "Here," I pull off the jacket from my shoulders and hand it to him. "You won't be sweating on your way back anymore, without me." I raise my eyebrows up and down, making him chuckle.

"Yeah, well I'll see you tomorrow." He leans in to kiss my forehead.

*camera clicks*

My head snaps to the flicker of light I saw in the distance.

"What?" He asks.

"I saw a white light somewhere." He looks to where I'm looking, but we only see rustling bushes from the wind.

"Probably a spark that you saw when I kissed your head," he jokes.

"Hahaha. Thanks for tonight Jimin," I slightly tip toe to reach and peck his cheeks.

*camera clicks*

I pull back, seeing Jimin's concerned face in the direction of where I saw the light before.

"Everything alright?" I question.

"Yeah, of course," he smiles sweetly. "Go, before you catch a cold."

I nod, slowly making my way in the building. We wave each other our goodbyes before I enter the building.

Author's POV
Jimin saunters back to his car alone, when someone pops up in front of him.

"Hi Jimin," the sly voice was something he's heard of before. The girl steps forward towards the brighter light. "Long time no talk."

Jimin's mood immediately blasts to the ground.

"Good morning everyone!" Mia enters the room as the morning sun, eyes specifically looking at Jimin.

"Wow, someone's in the best mood today, what happened huh?" Hoseok pitches in.

"Hmm? Nothing! I guess it's the beautiful weather we have today," She replies.

"It's spitting..." Yoongi states.

She just shrugs her shoulder and approach Jimin who was charging his phone in the corner, analysing dance videos.

"Morning," Mia says over his shoulders. He only bows his head slightly before focusing on his phone.

"Everything good?" She starts to worry as he only nods his head. She was about to say something but their dance coach already called them.

"See ya later." She gets up, receiving no reply from Jimin.

It was already the end of the day and Mia noticed how Jimin hardly acknowledged her presence. "Jimin!" Mia calls after him, but he didn't seem to notice.

She chases him until they were outside and alone. She grabs his arm for attention.

"What's wrong with you today?"

"What do you mean? I'm all good," he says, looking unbothered. Mia furrows her eyebrows in confusion and stays silent. Jimin starts to walk away, but Mia holds his wrist.

"Did you get amnesia or something on your way home last night?" She tries to joke.

"What are you on about?" His face still as cold as ever, which started to scare her.

"Did you totally forget about last night?"

"Get to your point. What about last night?" Mia was taken aback by Jimin's raised tone.

"About us!" She yelps, annoyed. He stayed quiet for a while as if he was fighting himself in his head.

"Look, there was never an 'us' okay? Sorry if I hurt you, but let's move on now." Jimin couldn't look at her in the eyes. It took a while for Mia to process what he said.

"What?" She scoffs, "are you kidding me?" She pushes her hair back in frustration as tears sting her eyes, not waiting a second, falling helplessly.

Jimin continues to look at the ground. He sees tears thump on the ground, but he does nothing.

He just walks away.
