twenty eight.


My eyes keep looking back and forth at him in silence. Fingers fidgeting with one another as one question lingering on my mind, never leaving me alone especially since the subject of my question itself is seated beside me.

I admire his feature from the side. I must admit that he looks really handsome today even though he's only dressed in a basic light color hoodie and black jeans.

My heart couldn't stop thumping the more I stare at him and it occur to me that- I couldn't believe the man is asking me out.

Is he out of his mind?

I don't even want to think about it. Heck- I don't even want to do why I agree to be his girlfriend In the first place. I mean, yes I like him like actually really like him but being in a serious relationship with him...

I don't even know if he's serious with me.

A sound of chuckle pulled me out of my thought and when I peak at him this time he is looking at me back with make me immediately turn my head to look out of the window. Cheeks red from being caught staring by him.

"Tch.."

I crossed both my hands over my chest while silently praying for the seat to drown me down.

"Why did you stop? I'm loving the attention" he teases me more and I keep silent due to the embarrassment.

"Sora" His voice sounded deeper but remained soft which make my heart flutter at the sound of my name leaving his mouth.

I hum as a response face still facing the window.

"Continue staring at me, don't stop" My mouth is kept shut. Not knowing what to reply to at the request. Is he for real?

I don't say anything back upon his request assuming that he was joking but when the silence linger around us and the tension between us started to change- I can feel it.

I can feel that he is being serious.

My head slowly turns to check his reaction and his face remains stoic and serious.

Oh.

As if sensing my confusion his face becomes soften and a small smile tug at the corner of his lips.

"I love when you give me all your attention Sora" my heart thump loudly inside my chest.

Wow.

This man is a real sweet talker and I have no complaint about it.

I laugh as a response. Don't ask me why I laugh because I find it cute that he actually admits he loves my attention?

"You are so cheesy Jimin," I said back to him which gain me a grin from him.

"Are you always like this with the other girls too?"  I ask out of curiosity and a little jealous as I was reminded of his past girlfriend and rumor spreading around about him.

He's a big shot like that.

He grins again at me. His eyes seem to be closing at the gesture.

"And if I say yes?" He raised one eyebrow at me.

I smile expectedly, "not a surprise to me" before shaking my head a bit when he started to laugh cutely.

"Why are you laughing?"

He shook his head at my question, "Nothing, it's just that-"

He left me hanging as his eyes focused on the road again after giving me a side glance.

"We are here" and he announced to me suddenly.

I look up to my surroundings and we are park right in front of my favorite convenient store. The place where I would go to buy myself dinner before heading home.

My parents are no longer able to pick me up from school but I'm okay with it.

"Come," Jimin asks softly as he extends his hand to me and we walk together to the convenience store.

The bells dangling on top of us as we entered through the door notified the worker of arrival and once my eyes collided with the worker working here I smiled at him and return the smile.

"Welcome"  I nodded to acknowledge his greeting and he continues doing his work.

"What do you have in mind... For dinner?" I ask after taking a glimpse of my wristwatch. Jimin is busy looking at the food, hands still holding mine dragging me along with him to the food section alleys.

"How about- this?" he pointed to the cups of ramen and grin at his choice of food. My favorite.

"Cool!" I nodded my head in excitement and my stomach started to growl just by looking at the food.

After grabbing everything we need and paying for it we decided to walk around a bit to the nearest park around the area while we eat.

We make ourselves comfortable on top of the grass as jimin place the food down and opened it for me.

I waited as he did my food and I watch him carefully.

The same damn question that linger my thought came back lingering in my mind. I don't know why the thought of him ignoring me at school is bothering me. I mean that's the best for us.

"Here" Jimin pushed the food in my direction and I take it from him after saying 'thank you' and he smile at me before proceeding with preparing for his food.

Carefully I started to eat in silent eyes still sticking to his form.

"Yes sora?" he said out of nowhere and I flushed again.

"You keep staring at me" he pointed that out and I can only give him a shy smile.

"Nothing" I shake my head and continue to dig into my food and this time he was the one who let his eyes linger on me, not believing my lie.

"You have something to say," he said that as in a matter of fact rather than a question.

"It's nothing.." my voice betray me as it sounded more like a whisper in my ears.

I sigh looking at him.

"You know you can be honest with me Sora" Right- I know that it's just he makes me nervous and everything happens so fast. Just a week ago I was determined to avoid him at any cost and now- look at us now.

"It's just..." he took my hands in his gently holding my cold hands into his warm one.

"You are bothered right?" he chuckles. He knows what he did.

"Yea..." I didn't hide the truth. His face changes into something I can't point out.

"Good," he said.

If not because he was seated so close to me. It was almost impossible for me to hear him and now that his head was on my thigh it was even more impossible for me to catch his next word but fortunately, I catch what he said next which silently makes my insides twist with something.



"I'm glad you are bothered by that"
