Seo Yeon's pov

I pondered why he called it a date when we were here to look for a house. I looked up to see the scattered sunlight shining through the trees. After waiting a few minutes, he came running toward me. He wore his customary black shirt and blue denim jeans, looking handsome as always.

"Seo Yeon, can we go?"

"Are you going to buy a house? What's the reason, or are you looking for others?" I asked, glancing at him. We walked into the house to look around.

"Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Answer me, Kook."

He handed me a cherry tartade. I took a sip, looking at him eagerly for an answer.

"I am going to buy it for our kids," he said, and I choked on my drink. I coughed hard, looking at him in disbelief.

"What did you say?" I gawked at him.

"I was just joking around. Why the look? We are here to help Yoongi find a house. He is too lazy to find one for himself, so he asked for my help," he said, then started walking, leaving me dumbfounded.

"Seo Yeon, stop thinking about your future with me. We are here to help Yoongi," he said.

"Stop with your nonsensical talk, Jungkook. It pisses me off," I said with a sneer. I pushed him aside and started to walk away. He checked the listing that the agent sent.

We reached the apartment, and he unlocked the door. The living room was big and spacious. An elegant chandelier was hung in the center, and intricate architecture exuded an air of sophistication. The bedroom had a large balcony, where we could see the view of the afternoon city, bustling and shining under the sky. It was a perfect view to see when one wakes up, which rejuvenates one's energy.

I wondered if I would get to see such a view with Jungkook in the future. He slipped his hand around me in a side hug, pulling me closer. His large, doe eyes sparkled, and his chiseled jawline made it hard for me to look away. He waved his hand in front of me, snapping me out of my trance. I pulled him toward me and, on tiptoes, planted a kiss on his jawline. He smiled warmly, holding me tighter.

"Are you enjoying the view?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

"I know I am handsome, and you love me," he teased, ruffling my hair playfully. I just rolled my eyes at him.

"This house looks great, but the price will probably be high, I guess," I said.

"I sent the pictures of this house, but he is not happy with them. Meanwhile, Yoongi is dozing there and instructing us," he said.

"Let's go to the next house," I said, and we both reached the suburban area, where the houses were affordable and convenient for transportation. He stepped out of the car and crossed the street, leaving me to wait for him. He bought us ice cream and passed it to me as he slid into the seat.

"I want to taste your melon-flavored ice cream," he said. I gave him my ice cream, but he pushed me backward against the window as he leaned forward and kissed me. I could taste his mild corn-flavored ice cream and my melon ice cream mixing.

"I told you, didn't I? I can turn any date into a romantic one," he said, smiling proudly. I gulped hard, looking away as cold sweat ran through my body.

"Jungkook, can you stop doing this? You are making me dizzy with your actions," I said.

"But you love it," he replied, unlocking his seatbelt.

As we both stepped out, the cobblestone street stretched out before us. The road was flanked by modern buildings, dwelling houses, and shops. One shopfront had its own vintage signage and flower box window that added to the old charm, which I found different. Indistinct chatters of kids playing in the park could be heard, and each house had a potted plant, which was inviting. The street was lined with towering maple trees, their branches swaying gently in the breeze. The trees provided aesthetic appeal and shade.

We both entered the next house. It was an individual house with a small garden. Butterflies danced around the daisies as they peeked through the green grass. A row of tulips was planted, and it appeared beautiful. There was a grove of trees at the end of the garden. As we entered the house, the rooms were sizable, and the walls had been painted white. The living room was cozy due to the soft lighting entering through the curtains. The furniture was tastefully picked, enhancing the warmth of the space. I loved that house, as it gave me a feeling of homeliness.

"Seo Yeon, It would be amazing if we could live here. I love this house and picture how wonderful it would be with both of us living here. We could have barbecues in the garden on weekends. This house gives a warm feeling," he exclaimed.

"While I do like this place, stop dreaming. We here to find a house for Yoongi Oppa, remember?" I retorted back at him.

"Seo Yeon, I am done with you. Let's go. How was our date?" He asked, holding me closer to him.

"I loved it, even though it was a strange place to go for a date. As you said, we created many unforgettable memories, specifically when that old lady ran behind us. It's always better with you wherever I go," I said, accentuating my words.

It doesn't matter where we go for a date. It makes the place memorable when we get to spend time with our loved ones. My happiness grew when he entered my life. Before meeting Jungkook, I was a shy person who struggled to be outgoing. Being myself around him makes me feel at ease, and I can be who I am. People who enter our lives, understand, and love us are uncommon, yet he is one of them. They must always be treasured by us.

These three places were unusual for a date, but we both created many cute memories. It was not a ravishing date with flowers or a candlelight dinner that enticed a romantic aura, but I was delighted.

He suddenly halted his steps. He turned me to face him, his eyes sparkling as he took hold of my hand and placed it on his cheek. The street light illuminated his face, highlighting his features in the soft lighting.

Jungkook's pov

"I wish we could see the beautiful view of the golden sky shining through our balcony and look at the pale crescent moon aglow with nighttime city lights. Cook new dishes, do gardening, and have karaoke nights, creating wonderful memories in our house," I said and let go of her hand.

Everyone has a unique memory of what makes their home special. I want to create those memories with Seo Yeon, whom I love the most.

She was contemplating my words as she grabbed my shirt to stop me. "Are you trying to?" Before she could finish her sentence, I placed my finger on her lips and pecked her nose. "I am glad you enjoyed the date, and I hope our love story continues," I added, dragging her with me.
