Wednesday /mission day #4/

in the classroom

🐰: Babe, here, take these.

🐥: What is it?

🐰: A coupon to the finest spa in downtown.

🐥: There are 3 of them, and why are you giving it to me?

🐰: Have fun with your friends! I'll take you there soon and pick you up at 6 pm okay? We have a plan tonight.

🐥: You're really using these 7 days to the fullest, aren't you?

🐰: I'm trying really hard not to regret later.

🐥: Daebak! Is it the first time you're feeling insecure about me becoming your girlfriend? ㅋㅋㅋ

🐰: Ani, I'm sure about that. But the thing I might be regretting later is that I didn't make you happy enough.

🐥: Huh, then ... good luck.

She suddenly kissed him on the cheek and ran towards her 2 friends, grabbing the coupons.

It was just a soft, quick kiss on the CHEEK. But it was more than just a kiss to Jungkook. A kiss with a passion...

After recalling the moment in the club's bathroom, he made a few conclusions some time ago. Maybe she did too. On that day, he was just desiring her. Maybe her lips or body. Because he was lost in the jungle of hesitations whether he really likes her or not. So back then, unlike now, their feelings for each other were just starting to grow. That's why that intense kisses didn't mean much to them. But now, with passion and love, just a soft kiss on the cheek means a lot to them. A kiss with ... a love?

JY: I think I'll look ten years younger after this.

JE: What a great way to deal with my stress. Aahhh

The three friends were talking while the spa massagers were massaging them. They were wearing robes and put face masks on.

- You have to lie down for another 25 minutes. We'll go outside.

- Oh arasso

The massagers left.

JE: We haven't talked much these days, right?

SZ: We see each other like what, every day?

JE: You're right, we see each other all the time. But I mean a talk. A real talk.

JY: Yeah...

JE: So you two, tell me. How's your life going?

SZ: As you can see, Jackson and I are getting along well.

JY: Happy for you!

SZ: Thanks! He is always nice, takes care of me, does everything to make me happy. He's just too good for me. (She said in a slow and soft voice then sighed)

JE: What do you mean by he's too good for you, huh? You're telling mean words to yourself again!

JY: Don't think like that Suzy-ah. As you're telling only the good sides of Jackson, he is telling his friends the same thing. Loving someone makes us blind. Blind to our person's flaws...

"We only see the bright sides," Jieun thought to herself. "Love makes people blind" Am I blind now? Or not? If so, then am I in love? Is it really love...?

SZ: By the way, what's going on between Sehun and you? Don't lie or try to hide something from us! You know what will happen

JY: Ahh, us... It's just... we're both not that good at expressing our emotions. I feel something sometimes, and I hope he feels the same too.

JE: So you two are in a kind of confusion right now?

JY: Yeah you can say that.

SZ: I was thinking you two were spending a lot of time together lately, weren't you?

JY: Yeah, that's true. We read.

SZ: What? Read...?

JY: What's wrong with reading? Actually, this side of us connected us, and I even feel closer when we're reading.

JE: What do you do when you're reading?

JY: We read, then talk about the book, exchange our opinions, sometimes we talk about ourselves...

SZ: I think, you two are too cautious and need quite a long time to understand each other.

JE: Yeah, I agree with that

JY: I don't care about the time it takes, but I hope we'll eventually be there...

"It's almost 6 pm, where is he?" Jieun said to her friends.

"Wait a minute, are Jungkook and you having a date night today?" Suzy and Jiyeon said at the same time, making Jieun surprised.

"Yeah, he said he had a plan tonight".

"Jackson told me that he would pick me up at 6 pm, and then we'll go somewhere"

"Sehun told the same thing, actually".

Therefore Jieun, Suzy, and Jiyeon's schedules overlapped, Jieun told

"Huh, the three of them are planning something again"

**************************************

The six of them were standing in the middle of the crowd, who gathered to watch the open-air concert. Girls were more than surprised and thrilled because it was Big Bang's concert! They were holding a concert a long time after, but unfortunately, girls couldn't buy tickets, because it was sold within just 13 minutes after its release. But the boys made it somehow!
"Jungkook-ah, this is my favorite SoNGGG!" Jieun was feeling over the clouds that she didn't realize she was shouting and screaming like an idiot.
"Sing along!" She shouted to her friends.

That night, six young friends shouted their lungs out, laughed until they run out of breath, danced till their legs became too weak to stand. There were hundreds of others like them. Enjoying their youth, knowing that it will pass without their knowledge. The most beautiful time of our lives. Youth. We cry like tomorrow doesn't exist, laugh as nothing happened. We drink like Monday doesn't exist, eat like summer won't come. We fly like we have wings and think we can do everything in our minds. It's the miracle of being young!

We're just young dumb broke youths, enjoying it to the fullest.

Love yourself. Enjoy your youth.
