By the time you and Jimin had exited the coffee shop, it was already late and the streets were pretty much empty. You hadn't realized how fast time had flew by until the owner told you she was closing up for the night. So here you two were, saying your goodbyes even though neither of you were quite sure you wanted to part just yet.

By now you and Jimin had shed the awkward atmosphere, and you two were laughing as much as you were talking. It was good catching up like this. Instead of acting like strangers, it was just like old times.

"I've listened to your album," you told him, smiling softly. "I really like it. Who would've known you'd grow to be such a good singer?"

Back when Jimin was a trainee, his main focus was dancing. He hardly had the singing talent or confidence he had today. It was probably the biggest change you saw in him. You hoped he realized how talented he was and how much he'd improved from then. You knew how humble Jimin was, sometimes too humble.

"Thank you. Believe me, I'm just as surprised," Jimin said, laughing. "You know, it wouldn't hurt if you showed it to Taeyang or any of the Big Bang members sometime."

You laughed. "Are you kidding me? They're all so intimidating. I don't think I'm on that level, yet."

Jimin mirrored your smile, soaking in as much warmth from the conversation as he could. He knew it would have to end soon; he had to get back to his dorm before his manager grew suspicious -- that is, if he hadn't already.

"You know, this was fun," Jimin said quietly, grin softening into a small smile. "I missed you."

You felt a slight flutter in your stomach as you caught the expression he had on his face. He probably didn't mean for it to sound romantic, but you couldn't help but stir up old feelings right at that moment. A part of you would always have it in for Park Jimin even if he had already moved on. Always.

Jimin noticed the wave of uncertainty cross your features and he immediately felt it transfer to himself. Did he overstep his boundaries when he said that? He really hoped he didn't.

"So did I," you answered, now smiling just as you had before (maybe he was imagining things). "Hey... This doesn't have to be a one time thing, you know."

Jimin nodded, pressing his lips into a thin smile. "I know. I'm only a phone call away, Hyejin."

You smiled, eyes locking into his. "And so am I."

Needless to say, you didn't get any sleep that night. It was already 3 in the morning and here you were, crunched up on the sofa watching dramas at a lazy attempt to get yourself to sleep.

But apparently instead of doing so, you were so loud that Kira woke up and came outside to join you. She glanced over at you, still half asleep as she dropped down on the sofa and stifled a yawn. "So how'd your date with Jimin go?"

"It wasn't a date," you replied, more so as a reminder to yourself. It wasn't a date. It was two old friends getting together to catch up. Which meant you had no reason to obsess over it like you currently were. You yawned, focusing back on the TV. "It was good."

"So I'm guessing you have feelings for him again," Kira said, like your response alone was enough to infer the rest of the story. "No need to look like it's the end of the world."

Even though she made it seem so simple, you couldn't help but let Jimin force his way into your thoughts. You didn't have nearly enough energy to push any of those thoughts to the back of your mind like you usually did. You focused back on the TV screen and grunted, not bothering a better response.

Even that you were too tired to do.

Jimin was in a state of denial. No, he did not have feelings for you again. That was just a dumb move given past events and the century it to finally rec
