Six

The next day, I told Jungkook and Taehyung everything that happened during our lunch break. They only kept listening without making any comments. That's what they did every time I felt down because of something I did. Like the last time, I broke mom's favorite vase and had to work as a model for a comic book. It's nothing hard, but knowing the character is an old fast geezer, it makes me feel disgusted about myself. I still have nightmares of it when I remember the image of him that is actually supposed to be me.

"I wish you good luck Hyung," Jungkook said before going to his class, while V and I went to ours. 

Placing our bags on the ground next to our table, we took a seat waiting for the class to start. The teacher seemed to be late again. 

"Invite him on a date," spoke Taehyung from beside me, his head resting on one of the books placed on the table. 

"On a date?! No!"I protested. The blood in my wains rushed up to my face the moment I imaged the said scenario in my head. 

"Why? C'mon Jimin. After work, invite him on a date. He won't refuse you." insisted Taehyung, turning his head to face me. 

I just stared at the blackboard, discussing with myself if I'm brave enough to actually do that. I surely would like to go out with him. Just the two of us in the park, the darkness around us, staring up at the stary sky. Sound perfect. 

"You live only once..."

I sighed and opened my books. I would totally do it, but I don't have either courage or time.  Everythings going wrong. Up till now, I only had excellent marks, but now I dropped a little. I have to study but I've been spending all my free time on Suga. 

"Jimin.. C. What's this Jimin?! You would usually ace this subject." the teacher said handing me the exam.

C! I hit the table with my head, but it seems I did it a bit too hard because everyone started laughing. Great. The exam got stuck on my forehead. But when I took it off, everyone started laughing even more.

"What?"

"Hahahahaha.. the .... hahahaha.. left.. hahaha.." V tried explaining but wasn't able to. He was laughing way too hard.

"What?!"

I looked at my reflection on the phone screen and saw that the mark was now left on my forehead. Must be from the hardness of the hit. Great...

After the classes, I went directly to my part-time as usual. I didn't have time to go back home and change. But thankfully, I left some clothes in my locker at school in case the one I was already wearing got drenched or if I got my lunch spilled on me. Therefore, I took it before leaving school so I can change once I arrive at the bar. 

Once I arrived there, I was greeted by both Mr. SeokJin and my coworker Ashley. Mr. Jin seemed to be in a nice mood today. I wonder if something good happened to him. I quickly changed, put on my apron, and went to see if Ashley needed assistance with anything. 

The day went by very slowly. I was washing the glasses and waiting for him to come. But he was nowhere to be seen. I was starting to feel extremely lonely without him being around me. Taking out my phone, I messaged him to confirm if he will be stopping by today or not. Hopefully, he won't find me being pushy or annoying. Maybe I shouldn't have messaged him. 

A few minutes later, a notification sound came from my phone, signaling me that I received a new message. I knew it was from him. I specially changed the options on my phone for his number to be different from all of the other contacts. 

"Who said I'm not coming? I will come. I just had some work to do. I'll be there in a few minutes. Okay?" I read aloud, a smile crossing my face knowing he will be here any moment. I put down my phone and drank a glass of water to try and calm down my beating heart. Not long after, the door to the bar opened and a familiar black hair boy came in. I instantly smiled at the sight of him. I run up to him, tackling him into a tight hug.

"Did you miss me that much?" he asked, taken aback by my sudden action. 

"Yes," I answered, moving away from him. "I mean no! I think... Maybe... Yeah, I did miss you a lot." I sighed, my cheeks burning up at the feeling of embarrassment although I did not do anything bad. I did not lie to him either. He looked me in the eyes and smiled. "I missed you too."

At his reply, my heart froze. H-he missed me too? I smiled even wider, if that was even possible, and pulled him with me to sit down in the corner of the bar. Thankfully, there weren't that many guests as it was nearly closing time. 

"Jin is gonna yell at you for skipping the work." he joked, looking down at my hand before taking it into his. 

"And that's because of who?" I asked, a small pout forming on my face at which he once again smiled. This is it. I have to ask him on a date. It is now or never.

"I have something to ask you." we both said in unison then started laughing at out perfect timing. 

"You first. No, you." we once again spoke together. 

"Let's say it at the same time," Suga suggested.

"Sure. In one, two... Now."

"Do you wanna go out with me?" we both asked each other the same question once again. He looked at me quite surprised, while I stared at him with a blank expression. Did he just ask me on a date as well? Realizing what just happened, my face burned up again. 

"That means yes," he said, smiling at me.

I nodded, excitement rushing through my body. "Smile suits you beautifully. You should smile more." I thought while staring at him starstruck. 

"Hahaha... Thank you."

"Wait! I said that out loud?!"

"Yup." he chuckled at my clumsiness. 

I blushed even harder. "Well, I don't regret saying it," I confessed before standing up to get back to work. I would really be in trouble if Jin comes out of his office and does not see me behind the counter. 

"It suits you much better Jiminnie." he replied, a smirk crossing his lips as he licked the corner of them. I stopped in my tracks and turned around to look at him.

"Then I'll always smile..." I smiled at him once more and he did the same. Then I went to finish the little work that was left for today so I can leave earlier on a date.
