"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."
"You're pretty."

Those words repeated in her head over and over again, probably more than a hundred times already. She scratched her head and tilted it to the side, eyeing him. Ji Ae could still feel her heart racing the more she repeated the words.

"Are you okay?" V suddenly asked her after taking a picture of the flower garden in front of them. He noticed her staring at him.

"Yeah. I'm fine," Ji Ae said and took the camera from around her neck and focused it on the garden, forgetting about earlier.

Taehyung shrugged at her and then snapped another picture of the garden before walking away from her. "How about over here. You can get both the sky and the sun. The park," he suggested and watched in awe.

The girl looked and saw what he saw, but instead, her focus was on him. Ji Ae never really noticed his yellow, brown hair before. Wasn't his hair dark brown? She mentally asked herself before unknowingly took a picture of him.

"Yah, did you take another picture of me?" he turned to look at her, and she blinked at him before looking at her camera. She gave him a nod, and he sighed, "Delete it. Now."

"But, it's pretty," she said and stared at it as he came and took a look at it as well. He looked at her, and she seemed to be smiling at it. There it was again, the exciting look in her eyes.

"Keep it," was all he said before shoving the camera in her arms. "Thank you," she said, and he ignored her as he walked away.

Melanie looked at J-Hope, walking side by side. He was looking ahead and didn't seem to be paying any attention to her. She pouted, but then recalled they were only hanging out.

Don't think like that. You're just friends, she told herself and looked ahead, trying hard not to overthink.

"What are you thinking about?"

His voice asked, bringing her back to reality, although she was already trying her best to get back.

"N-Nothing. Where are we going?" she changed the subject and J-Hope slung an arm around her neck, surprising her. "H-Hey!"

"How about I take you to a fancy restaurant, we eat, then I'll take you to go see a movie. After that, we can go somewhere fun," a big grin glued to J-Hope's face as he looked at her.

She couldn't help but smile. "Arasso. Deal."

He then removed his arm from her neck and walked ahead of her again as she watched him from behind with a sad look on her face.

"Sure..."

Taehyung took a glance at his phone when he realized how late it was and turned to Ji Ae. She was on her camera, looking through the pictures.

"Don't you think it's time for you to get back home?" he asked her, and she turned to look at him.

"Oh, you're right. Jin Oppa should be home by now," she said and put her things in her bag before standing up from where they were sitting and bowed to him. "Thank you for having fun with me today. I'll see you at school."

Ji Ae turned to leave when he grabbed onto her hand, and she turned to look with a weird look.

Is she showing confusion?

"Don't...You think I should walk you home?" he asked, feeling pathetic as he gives her a small smile.

"Of course."

Her reply made him jump for joy inside though he wasn't sure why. V nodded and let go of her hand as he cleared his throat. "Let's go. I don't want Jin Hyung to panic."

He led the way, and she followed from beside him. Ji Ae thought it was weird, but then again, it didn't bother her. She seemed to like the idea of him being nice to her.

As Jin searched around the house, he didn't see her anywhere. He couldn't help but sigh. She's out at the park again, he thought and dialed her number.

"Oppa, I'm sorry. I'm coming home right now. I got distracted," Ji Ae said through the phone, and he just chuckled at her. "I didn't call to scold you. I called to let you know I'm cooking, so don't be home too late," he told her.

"But, I ate already. I'm full," Ji Ae told him.

"Full? You ate already, without me?" he pouted, and she smiled, "I'm not too far away. I'll see you soon, Oppa."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Ae turned to V with a smile, "He doesn't sound upset," she said, and he laughs at her.

"He hasn't seen me yet."

Jin opened the door, and when he saw V, his eyes glared at him. He wasn't expecting to see the sight of V.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

Ji Ae held Jin into an embrace, and he softened. He hugged her back. "I'm glad you had fun," he said, smiling and avoiding V.

"Taehyung went out with me today. We had fun," she chimed.

Jin, being him, nodded his head and went back to glaring at V. "Uh-huh, I'm sure you did."

V returned him a smirk. "We took pictures together too," he added, and that made Jin uneasy.

"I'm sorry, did I miss something here?" he questioned them, and V put an arm on top of Ji Ae's shoulder, leaning on her.

"What do you mean, Hyung?" he teased, and Jin yanked Ji Ae away from him, causing V to stumble forward.

Melanie gave J-Hope a look and laughed at herself for actually believing his words. "Are you serious? Fast food?"

Hoseok took a bite of his sandwich, looking at her, "What did you think?" he said and swallowed his food.

"You said a fancy restaurant. Not a fast food restaurant," the girl pointed out and scoffed.

He laughed at her, almost as if he was mocking her. "Don't tell me," he said, pointing at her, "That you thought we were on a date...Did you?"

His eyes were smiling at her. Taken aback from his words, she denied it. "Of-Of course not! Yah, do you think I'm an idiot?" she scoffed once again at him, and he shakes his head her.

"Yes, you did. I can see it on your face. You're easy to read, you know," J-Hope told her.

Melanie stood up from her chair, offended, and said, "I'm leaving, jerk," and grabbed her bag as J-Hope laughed at her before saying, "I guess that's too bad then. I thought we were."

"Whatever," she mumbled and left J-Hope there alone. All he did was laugh at her before going back to eating his food.

When she stepped outside, Melanie stomped her feet and whined to herself. "Aish! That stupid jerk!" she cursed him out loud and glared at him through the glass window. She could see that he was smiling and enjoying his food.

"Who does he think he is, huh? Ugh!" she groaned and pouted to herself. But then she remembered what he said. With a loud sigh, the girl opened the door. "Just friends, hanging out, nothing more," she tells herself and walks to the table, pulling her chair out and sat down.

J-Hope just watched as she ate her food in amusement.

"I didn't know you were still here," he said in nonchalantly at Melanie, and she sipped her drink before replying, "I thought you said we were on a date, did you not?"

"Huh," he smirked and nodded his head only, acknowledging it.

"I'm tired of having the same conversation over again. We need to tell V right now. She threatened him today," Jimin said outrageously.

"Calm down. We're going over to Jin's tomorrow. We all need to be together for this," Suga assured him and the rest of them.

Jungkook pouted only at their talk and sighed.

"Taehyung Hyung seemed pretty upset earlier. I hope he comes with us. You know how he gets," the Maknae stated, and they nodded.

"Trust me, he'll be there," Nam Joon said and smirked.

V walked in and slipped on his slippers before entering inside, and the rest of his friends looked. He gave them all a small wave.

"Hey, guys. I'm home," he grinned at them, and Jungkook scratched his head.

"I thought you weren't coming back to the dorm tonight?"

He laughed, forgetting about earlier at school and said, "Yah, when did I say that?"

Suga laughed at him in sarcasm. "Very funny, Taehyung."

His smile only widened and stopped to stand in front of the rest of them.

"Today, I had a lot of fun," he said delightfully, remembering how the day went before telling his buddies goodnight and went to his room.

Jimin scoffed at his actions, speechless.

"And you were worried about him," Nam Joon said.

Jin peeked into her room as she was putting away her guitar case. He sat down on her bed, watching her.

She went to sit next to him, smiling. "Oppa, I had fun today. Taehyung and I took pictures. We even ate together, and he helped me make money!" she showed him the bag of money full of change and dollar bills.

The elder one chuckled at her, forgetting to ask about the two of them having a thing. He was happy just seeing her able to smile so brightly at him. Her happiness was enough for him.

"I'm glad you had fun. That's all I wanted," Jin told her, and she nodded before putting the bag in her drawer.

"But, Oppa, is it okay if Taehyung and I hang out often? He's fun," she blinked at him and he gave her a shocked look.

"Of course not! Why would I-" he stopped himself from going any further and reminding himself how happy she looked. More than usual now. So he said, "Of course, you can. I want you to be happy," he hugged her, and she returned the embrace.

"I love you, Ji Ae," he whispered, and she nodded her head. "I know, Oppa."

V smiled to himself as he scrolled through the pictures in his phone from before. He rubbed his thumb against his screen at her face. She was smiling beautifully.

"I never thought she was pretty," he said in a small voice and laughed at himself for thinking that.

"I must be crazy," he whispered and laughed some more until his phone ringed.

"Hyung, what's up."

"Thank you for taking care of her today. She enjoyed today," Jin said, and V raised a brow at him, trying to figure out what was happening.

"Are you okay, Jin Hyung?"

On the line, Jin smacked his lips. "Yah, all I wanted to say was thank you, and you're ruining the moment here!" he went off at the young one, and Taehyung shrugged only.

"Arasso, Hyung. You're welcome. I had fun too," he confessed, to his surprise, Jin didn't say anything about it, but another 'thank you' before hanging up the phone.

V looked at his phone and tilted his head to the side, confused yet amused at his friend. "What's up with him?

But then again, his mind was on Ji Ae. The way she smiled at him, and how she looked every time she took pictures. The happy and overjoyed expression she had. Although it's not there, he could see it in her eyes.

"Thank you, Taehyung-sshi. I hope we can hang out again," she thanked him and smiled.

His heart beat faster the longer he stared at her smile. Then, she hugged him, and his world seemed to stop.

"Be safe going home," she said and looked at him, her eyes smiling.

He blinked, stunned.

"Oh-Oh, okay. Th-Thank you," he stuttered, and she stepped back to let him breathe.

"See you at school."

"Y-Yeah...See you..."

As he walked home, he felt his heart, and it was still beating, but it was slowing down now. He took a deep breath and released it. His heart seemed to be calmer now.

"Crazy idiot."

Though he was still smiling like one too.

Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. I had a lot of homework and things going on so I didn't get the chance to write and finish the chapter that I was supposed to post like two weeks ago. But I will be updating from now on. For sure this week on Wednesday throughout the weekend.

Hope you enjoy this chapter! (:

**Attention** A/N **

Hey guys, so I'm not sure, but I probably won't be able to update this Wednesday or so maybe the whole week. I have a lot of homework to do and I need to catch up so I won't fall behind because I am also going to be out of town for a graduation. I'll try to update at least a chapter or two. If not, one. I'm just letting you guys know now because I'm tired of not updating. Thank you and I hope you have a great day/night/evening! (: <3
