It is usually impossible to forget something important.

Yet the poor girl named Kim Jiho was pacing in her room back and forth holding onto her cell phone. She wasn't sure if she should call Minhyuk or text him. There were only two options and both of them made her nervous.

Usually people send a text message to avoid the voice conversation.

Not Jiho.

She didn't know what to put or how to word it.

How can I forget to ask him to delete the video!

She was too engrossed with having fun yesterday she completely forgot.

Jiho whined like a child in her place trying to think of something but it seemed like her prayers had been answered the moment she felt a beep from her phone. She stopped being childish and bit her bottom lip.

I think I know who it is.

She was hesitant to look at her phone due to the rush of blood pumping through her. It was never easy to face reality. She eventually gave in and saw the message from Minhyuk.

Minhyuk:

Meet me here in twenty minutes.

He sent another address along with a picture this time.

Jiho tilted her head staring at the picture. "The aquarium?"

Sunday rolled around quickly than expected and Jiho wasted no time in throwing her phone on her bed to look for something to wear. She had plenty of outfits but they were all causal. She didn't have time to think on it. She found a bubblegum long sleeve with white horizontal lines and found a matching white skirt that went above her knees.

She smiled finding the right outfit and started getting ready.

It had been a long time for her to be excited over something like this. It wasn't a date or anything but the way Minhyuk would send her the messages, it was cute and adorable. She went to the bathroom putting on a bit of blush and found one of her favorite bright coral lip gloss.

She dabbed it a little bit and smiled into the mirror.

As always, right on time her heart did flips indicating she is done and ready to head out.

Jiho mentally reminded herself to ask Minhyuk about the video before anything else.

- - -

Today felt good.

Minhyuk could use another word to describe today but he didn't want to push his luck. He couldn't stop smiling. He tried to bite the bottom of his lip or the inside of his cheek to stop so others wouldn't think he was odd.

But it didn't work.

The moment he sent Jiho the address for the aquarium, he decided to send a picture so she could know what he was up too. Yesterday was a surprise and today he shared his plans. Except he didn't tell her what he planned for tonight. He softened remembering he kept the video of her.

He could have deleted it himself, but it was wise to let her do it from his phone. It would give him a boost to earn her trust.

Minhyuk sighed with a smile as he waited for Jiho. As he waited, he thought about last night when he was home. He couldn't stop thinking about the cat-faced girl named Jiho. He sneered just thinking about how she was jumping around with no worries bothering her as she did flips and dance movements.

She is a natural.

He has never been so amazed by someone before.

Jiho managed to do something no one has never done.

She was crawling into his heart, especially when they were doing the boyfriend-girlfriend charade. He didn't mind it. He actually enjoyed having her close to him hoping the boy from yesterday would leave.

Minhyuk became protective and at first he thought, maybe it was because he wanted her attention on him but maybe it wasn't that either. He was beginning to realize he enjoyed his time with her and didn't want to stop.

That's why he asked her out again.

He stared at the two tickets in his hand with his heart becoming nervous. When it did that, he wasn't sure if it was because of how he felt as a friend or it was possibly something more. He hoped by the end of today, his would know his answer for sure..

"Minhyuk?"

He picked up his head and his breath hitched.

Wow.

She's definitely cute.

That was one thing he started to see about Jiho. She is cute in his eyes. She had her own charm that either she didn't know she had or it was something that came natural. She bit her bottom lip holding back her smile as she used both hands to hold onto the strap of her purse just like yesterday.

Jiho had seen Minhyuk for a minute or two before heading over.

As she got closer to the aquarium, she felt her heart pounding with every step that she took. She tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths but it didn't work. Then she tried counting to twenty, that didn't help either.

She felt like a wreck.

It's not a date right?

He didn't say it was..

Do I ask him?

Jiho mentally fought with herself just before she swallowed her nerves down and went towards him. When she got closer, she saw how different he was dressed. This time, he was wearing a navy hoodie with some old elder on it with black skinny jeans. She didn't want to take a guess or ask and look like a fool. She averted her eyes to his hair that was just there but her eyes caught something on it.

She took her steps like a normal person and called out to him. He picked up his head not saying anything since he was stunned. She reached him and extended her arm to his hair. Since he was much taller than her by five inches, she pushed on her toes to extend her own height and grabbed a piece of lint from his hair.

Minhyuk didn't know what she was doing until he felt tingles from his hair, running down his back giving him chills. He waited for her to go back on her feet and she showed him the piece of lint and let it fly off. "Thanks."

Jiho gave him a nod, tucking a strand behind her hair.

"Ready? I got the tickets." Minhyuk moved his body to turn to the entrance but instead, he felt a grab from his right arm. He turned back to look at her. "What's wrong?"

Jiho bit her bottom lip. "About the video?"

"Ah, I still have it." Minhyuk grinned. Jiho was going to continue the conversation but he quickly continued. "You can delete after I walk you home. Deal?"

Jiho stared at him in awe before she could say something or anything that could leave , he grabbed her wrist and pulled her along. He loosened the grip on her wrist and slid his hand down to hers holding it.

Jiho stared at their hands feeling the warmth he gave her. She couldn't help but smile feeling touched with affection.

Minhyuk had no control over the beating of his heart. His emotions sometimes have a mind of their own but they belong to him. He knows what gets him excited, nervous, sad and angry. As of right now he felt comfortable holding her hand with his.

He didn't want to let go of it.

It felt complete.

Maybe I am starting to like her more than friend..

He turned around to her after he handed the tickets to the co-worker, who giving them the ok to pass. Jiho stared up at Minhyuk with a soft smile that made him soften. He felt content and delighted to have her by his side.

"You may go inside, enjoy your date."

No one had seen anything enchanting than the azure water above Jiho and Minhyuk as they entered the walk-through tunnel.

It wasn't something they got to see often.

Jiho gazed above her with a smile with amusement. The color was indeed a clear blue but it wasn't blue. It was a shade of blue that fell into the family.

Azure.

A few fish were swimming around like it was their daily routine not caring if people were around watching them or not.

Minhyuk stared up at the water above him and couldn't imagine how long it took to file the whole tunnel up with water, select which fish is safe not to mention the sharks that swam around and a sea turtle or two.

He turned to feel a tug from Jiho who had forgotten they were holding hands. He chuckled as she found a sea turtle swimming and the fish around it. She squealed seeing something amazing yet calming.

Minhyuk couldn't help but be affected by her reaction. "How long as it been since you've been here?"

Jiho turned away from the clear glass window to glance up at him. "Since I was seven."

"Wow." Minhyuk chuckled in surprised. "Aren't I a good friend to invite you then?"

"Friend? Or Boyfriend?" She cocked her eyebrow and lifted her hand that was holding his.

Minhyuk felt his heart skip a beat at her comment. He was taken back and knew she caught him this time. He cleared his throat staring at the clear window. "Isn't it better this way? Girls will leave me alone and boys won't bother you."

Jiho poked his chest getting his attention. "So you're saying this is a date? I thought you wanted to be friends?"

"I..." He suddenly didn't know what to say. He was getting beaten by a girl who is definitely making him speechless. He felt the poke again from her knowing she was waiting for answer. "Hey, friends go on dates too you know!"

Jiho hummed at his response with a smug look. She turned back to the window at keep watching the fish swim but she became startled seeing a shark right in front of her. She quickly flinched turning away and hid in Minhyuk's chest.

Minhyuk widen his eyes at what just happened within seconds. He felt Jiho fist his hoodie like the first time he was with her. He slowly placed his free arm around her waist and saw the shark swim away. He opened his mouth to tell her it was clear but he heard something behind him.

"Awwwh did you see that! The guy is protecting his girlfriend from the shark!"

"Oh my gosh that is so adorable!"

"I know right! I want to boyfriend like that!"

Upon hearing those comments, Minhyuk smiled like it was something to be proud of. Again, he felt his heart pounding at the closeness they were sharing yet again. He cleared his throat knowing they couldn't stay like that any longer.

Jiho gasped realizing what she had done for a minute or two and moved away from him She felt heat on her cheeks. "I'm sorry!"

Minhyuk shook his head. "I'm not bothered."

Jiho peaked behind her and saw a few fish and a sea turtle swim like the time of his life.

"I think that looks like Hyungwon." Minhyuk stated as his gaze followed the sea turtle.

Jiho tilted her head and shook it. "I think Hyungwon looks more like a frog."

Minhyuk widen his eyes in amusement before Jiho turned back to face him. "A frog?"

Jiho cupped with her free hand once she released it from his hoodie and shut her eyes.

Minhyuk pealed her hand away for her to say something. He didn't care what it was. He wanted her to say something.

"Please don't tell him." Jiho pleaded looking down avoiding his eyes.

Minhyuk chuckled. "I won't but now that you mention it, he does look like a frog."

She became embarrassed but it washed away with Minhyuk rubbing her knuckle with his thumb. Her heart jumped again and again. She liked the feeling but she couldn't let herself fall for him. It was nice that her crush wanted to be friends with her, because now she knew that's all they would be. Friends.

Yet, friends don't hold hands with each other.

Especially not if they want to avoid girls and boys from asking for their number.

It confused Jiho when he said those things to her. She could ask and analyze it but maybe it was just for fun and games for him. That's when she has to control her feelings and protect them.

"Hey are you hungry?" Minhyuk asked making her look up at him.

Jiho nodded with a tender smile. "What's for lunch?"

"Well, let's see what they have?" Minhyuk let go of one of her hands as he kept holding the other one.

They walked hand in hand through the water tunnel enjoying every bit of it before it came to an end leading them to a sign. They could go left and see the dolphin show. They could go right to the gift shop. Or they could keep going straight and find food.

"Do you want to
