It was so amazing!

 

I accidentally squaked out loud, tossing and turning in my own bed, my right hand eagerly going to my lips, brushing my lips with my own thumb as I  reminisced of my very first kiss which happened to be with Jungkook. My cheeks slowly turning crimson red at that very precise thought.

 

"You'll be the death of me, Kim Saera,"

 

Jungkook said as he softly kissed me on the forehead.

 

"I really like you, gorgeous,"

 

He whispered softly before kissing me on the nose. Jungkook rested his forehead against mine, his nose softly nuzzling my nose and I could just feel his breath hitting my lips, making me a nervous wreck at the thought of him kissing me. With my cheeks redder than never before, the latter slowly leaned into me, our lips brushing as if he was testing my lips. Accidentally letting out a nervous sigh, Jungkook finally connected our lips, officially being my first kiss and I could feel the fluttering in my stomach as I put my arms around his neck. Both of us closing our eyes as I tiptoed, wanting to be more closer to him as he stopped cupping my face as he put his hands around my waist, pulling our bodies nearer than ever before.

 

Jungkook leaned away first, breaking the kiss before we could do even more, resting his forehead against mine as I let out an accidental whine, never wanting it to end. The latter grinned at me as he nuzzled my nose, making me shyly grin at him.

 

"I saw fireworks just now,"

 

"I did too, Jungkook," I whispered to myself, my lips growing into a big smile as I reached for the nearest pillow screaming into it, feeling happy and flustered at the same time. The imaginary butterflies were still present in my stomach, fluttering as much as it could. I loosened my hold on my favorite pillow, pushing it away from my flushed face as I stared at the ceiling above me after glancing at my clock that was on the nightstand. An ever bigger smile was on my face if it was possible as I thought of the upcoming date, feeling nervous and excited at the same time. 

 

It was a mix of jumbled feelings.

 

2.00 a.m.

 

The ends of my lips twitching upwards, wanting to smile again at the thought of myself going on my very first date as I forced myself to flutter my eyes closed, knowing I needed the sleep for the big event at 8 o' clock.

 

18 hours to go.

 

I smiled in my sleep, thinking of all the possible thoughts of what would happen as well as a second kiss. Butterflies still fluttering in my stomach as I let myself fall into a deep slumber that the butterflies eventually popped up in my dreams as well as Jeon Jungkook.

 

***

10.05 a.m.

 

9 hours and 55 minutes to go.

 

"Stop smiling! You're freaking me out here!" My brother childishly whined from the couch, his head resting well on Eunji's lap while his girlfriend just playfully rolled her eyes, her hands softly combing his hair. Puckering my lips to stay silent, I thought of a retort to my only brother when my phone rang from the left pocket of my sweatpants.

 

I glared at Taehyung when I heard him yelled triumphly as if he had just won a prize while Eunji just giggled, leaning down to his face to kiss him on the face. Gagging at their small interactions as I glanced at my phone, I couldn't help but to admit that I was a bit jealous of their relationship.

 

It reminded me of how much in love I really was with Jeon Jungkook.

 

Smiling as I snapped back from my momentarily daydream, I immediately answer the second time my mother called since I was too busy daydreaming of what would happen if Jungkook and I were dating.

 

I can't believe I was a er for that guy.

 

"Hey,honey," My mom cooed softly at me that I couldn't help but think I was still a little kid when I was already 21 years old, her face glowing even if she still looked sleepy from overworking herself. My eyes softened at the sight of her trying to stiffle a yawn in front of me, making me look over her face, still in awe of her every time I see her but I wasn't jealous.

 

I had learned to embrace myself.

 

Thanks to him.

 

Glancing behind my mother as I broke into a smile at that small thought as I noticed my father slowly creeping behind her. I almost snorted into laughter from the look that was on my father's face, almost giving away the position that my father had and he immediately gave her a backhug when my mother turned her head, kissing her on the crown of her head and I was jealous again, wanting it to be Jungkook and I instead. I softly shook my head, putting the thoughts away.

 

My mother laughed, noticing how abrupt I was shaking my head after my father let her be, her eyes scanning my face like she always does, "You're glowing, dear," She pointed out and I couldn't help but blush, remembering my kiss with Jungkook as I trapped my lower lip with my teeth, wanting to squeal at the memory of it.

 

With butterflies fluttering in my stomach, I grinned at the compliment she gave me, feeling it was true all this time.

 

Ever since, Jeon Jungkook and I became close. I was beginning to love myself even more than I used to especially, my own flaws.

 

"I feel pretty, ma," I breathlessly told her of my own feelings and both of us smiled at each other, knowing that I had a complex with the way I look. Her smile reaching her eyes and I was grinning even more, biting my lips shyly as I did so. " You are pretty, dear,"

 

I nodded happily, tears slowly b as I felt myself being overwhelmed at the thought of missing my parents.

 

I really miss them.

 

"Jungkook is a nice young man. I'm glad you're having your first date with him,dear," She told me, making me frown for a moment since I didn't inform her yet about the date. My mother giggled at the confusion written on my face as she put a finger on the screen of her phone, almost like caressing my right cheek with fond eyes on me. "Your brother told me about it. He's a bit grumpy that you're slowly growing out of your shell, you know?"

 

I bit my lower lip, trying to contain myself from laughing at the thought of my brother being so stressed with me going on my first date. "I'm always growing well, not height-wise though. I just measured my height and I only grew by one inch," I whined as I remembered that fact. My mom chuckled again as she put another finger on the finger on the screen, this time on the left side of my cheek and leaned into the screen as if she was kissing my forehead. I sadly smiled at that, wanting it to be in real life rather than it being virtual.

 

"You're petite and cute, dear,"

 

I smiled back at the compliment she gave me as tears gathered in my eyes, wanting to hug my own mother as I resorted to hug myself, wanting her warmth as I tilted my head sideways as I chirped at her innocently. "I am cute,"

 

***

 

"I am so not cute," I told to myself, eyes glaring at the small pimple that was bulging out in between my upper lip and nose. Sighing, I forced myself to look away from the mirror and looked at Eunji instead as she gave a motherly smile, shaking her head at my own statement 

 

"You're cute enough for Jeon Jungkook, that's for sure," I puffed my cheeks at her words, forcing myself not to smile stupidly at the mention of Jeon Jungkook as I went to the small closet that I own, searching for clothes for the date that was going to happen in about 4 hours.

 

I didn't tell anyone yet about my litle crush on him.

 

Jungkook deserves to know this by himself after being so patient with me.

 

He had liked me for so long.

 

That's the least I could do for him.

 

Confess to him properly.

 

Eyes glittering at the sight of a cute oversized sweater, I immediately grabbed on it and put it against my body, showing it to my best friend. Eunji's eyes soft as she murmured under her breath, "I'm glad you're happy, Saera. Thanks for being my best friend from the very beginning," She croaked out as tears brimmed in her eyes. I let my gaze fell on her, feeling proud of the relationship that we had as tears gathered in my eyes as well.

 

I softly chuckled as I wrapped my arms around the latter, feeling grateful to have her as my best friend. Mine and Yoongi might be one of a kind but, my relationship with Eunji was heading towards the same direction as well.

 

"Thanks for being my best friend too, Eunji," My voice muffled against her hair, both of us laughing with tears in our eyes, happy that the both of us met each other. Eunji brushed the tears away as she cupped my face before nuzzling my nose against hers. "Let's get you prepped up for your little date, Saera,"

 

"But Jungkook loves me the way I am, no need to make up already," I told her without a second thought, making Eunji bulged her eyes in surprise for a moment before she realized about something. Making a teasing face at me, Eunji playfully flicked my forehead, making me whine at the girl who had accidentally inflicted pain on me as she leaned forward to rub the pain away.

 

"You're so in love with him, Kim Saera," Eunji piped up all of the sudden, making both of us laugh afterwards.

 

***

 

"I'm in love with you, oppa," I tested the words as I walked through the crowd of people, heading to the cafe that we had agreed to meet for our very first date. Internally squealing at the thought of how Jungkook would react, I could feel myself blushing even with all this summer heat that was happening.

 

Thankfully, I didn't end up wearing the oversized sweater that I planned to wear after Eunji had repeatedly reminded me of how hot the weather is right now. In the end, I just wore jeans and one of my favorite tshirts which actually didn't scream 'on my very first date' but I was already content with the way I look.

 

And it was all thanks to Jeon Jungkook.

 

I jumped as I breezed my way through the crowd after feeling the phone in the pockets of my jeans vibrated in attention, I smiled when I noticed the familiar neon lights that decorated the outside part of the cafe. Finally entering the cafe, I smiled at the staffs and headed to a table that was in corner as I brought out my phone.

 

From : Sugar & Sprinkles

G'luck on your first date, beautiful ;) So sad that I couldn't prep you up with Eunji T.T

 

Biting back a smile as I sighed silently, feeling happy and sad at the same time. It was starting to show the lack of time that Yoongi and I were spending. With a frown that decorated my face momentarily, I quickly replied back when I finally take notice of the waiter that was standing at my side.

 

From : Beautiful World

Thanks sprinkles and it's okay, Yoongi. I'll tell you about the date when I'm finish with it.

 

"I'm so sorry," I panicked as I gently took the menu from his hand to order a beverage. The waiter only chuckled, shaking his head at how panicked I looked with cheeks flushed and all. "No worries. I just got here, miss..."

 

"Miss Saera," I told him while smiling and he grinned back at me with dimples cutely showing at me. Smiling at him once more,I finally focused on the menu and pointed out my favorite beverage in the cafe which happened to be iced chocolate.

 

Nodding his head in understanding, he jotted down my order as he asked, "Anything to eat with? I recommend the tiramisu cake and it might be on the house if, you give me your number?" 

 

The waiter flirted with me as my jaw went slack, suddenly reminded of what Jungkook used to tell me before.

 

"There are guys who are interested with you, gorgeous. You just never noticed it, Kim Saera," 

 

Smiling politely at him, I shook my head and gave the menu to him. "I'm sorry but I'm waiting for my date right now," His smile fell completely and the smile was on him again moments later but this time, it was fake as it can be as the waiter that goes by the name Myungsoo well according to his nametag, excused himself to make my drink.

 

Smiling at my own achievement, I brought out my chapstick that I had been using lately as I used it, feeling nervous at the seconds went by, getting nearer to the time of the date. Suddenly, my phone buzzed again while I was sipping carefully on my hot chocolate almost burning my own tongue.

 

From : Sugar & Sprinkles 

You'll do fine, beautiful. Jungkook is already in love with you.

 

The ends of my lips twitched, feeling relief from Yoongi's assurance as I replied back a thanks to my best friend before putting it on silent and let it laid on the table, waiting for anytime now for Jungkook to arrive.

 

***

 

9.00 p.m.

 

It was already one hour later and there was no Jeon Jungkook as I let my eyes stuck on the door, hoping for the person I was waiting for to arrive anytime now and my heart was in my mouth as the door opened slowly.

 

My heart dropped again when it was a couple that entered the cafe, making my hands went clammy as I thought of any reason for why I was being stood up on my very first date.

 

Did he got tired of me?

 

Tears started to brim in my eyes, my heart squeezed at the thought of myself being so selfish for making him wait for too long.

 

Maybe, he did.

 

Swallowing the big lump that was stuck in my throat, I played with the straw that was in my glass as I waited for thirty minutes more, my eyes perfectly stayed at the door of the cafe, hoping he would suddenly enter it and explained to me as to why he was late.

 

But...

 

He never came.

 

Finally admitting to myself that I had just been stood up by Jeon Jungkook on my official first date, I stood up to go to the counter to pay for my beverage.

 

"Are you fine, Saera ?" The waiter from before asked me softly, his face showed how worried he was when he noticed the tears in my eyes. Faking a smile as I felt my heart squeezing painfully, I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out as I closed it back. Painfully chuckling as I made an 'ok' sign with my hand as I walked out of the cafe, walking back to home all alone without Jeon Jungkook beside me. My heart slowly cracking into smaller pieces if it was possible as I my distance from the cafe became even more far and I slowly sobbed to myself, almost crashing into people as I walked.

 

This has got to be the worst day ever.
