Jisungs POV:

"Jisung! Hello!"

Chans voice startles me. I look around and notice that I've been in the same position for 10 minutes.

"Jisung, where'd you go? Are you alright?"

"U-uh ya I-I'm fine." I stuttered as tears fell. Wait. I'm crying.

"Umm can I get you anything? Do you need to take a break?"

"N-no It's ok." I walk away and get back to work. Why does everything have to remind me of him.

After work I went home and changed. I was gonna take a walk to destress a bit. Just as I was about to leave I got a call from Chan.

"Hey"

"Hey you doing ok?"

"Ya. Why?"

"Never mind. You should come over. We can watch some movies or play games or something."

"Umm ya sure. I'll be over in 10."

"Ight, see ya."

"see ya."

When I got to Chans house we sat down on the couch just awkwardly staring at each other. I knew exactly what he was thinking about but I didn't wanna talk about it.

"So what movies are we watching?"

"I haven't picked any out yet"

He turned on the TV and we browsed for a bit. We ended up settling on a horror movie. Me and Minho used to watch those all the time. I still remember the first time we watched one.

"I hope you like horror movies Ji."

"Umm well they scare me a bit but I'll watch one."

"Are you sure it's ok?"

"Ya. Ya it's fine."

He started the movie but honestly I wasn't really paying attention. My full attention was on him. This was only our third date and I was at his house. I want to say I'm in love with him but I feel like it's too early. I mean we've only known each for two weeks. My thoughts are interrupted by the feeling of someones arm being wrapped around my shoulder. My heart jumped out of my chest I swear. I snuggled closer. Not too close though. Just then there was a jump scare that I just so happened to see. I hid my face in his neck and felt a smile form on his face. He rubbed my shoulder gently.

"Are you ok?"

"Ya I'm good." I smiled at him in hopes of being reassuring. How could someone make me feel like this. I felt all warm and fuzzy whenever I was around him. I can't wait for the day I can finally call him mine. But who knows how long that'll be. A few months at least, that's for sure. But I'm fine with waiting. If it's for him, I'd wait a million years.

Chan paused the movie. There was still an hour left and I'd already been here for over an hour and a half.

"You wanna get some food, I'm kinda hungry." He asked

"Yea same. You wanna go out or order some?"

"It's up to you. Whatever's gonna make you feel better."

I appreciated his concern. He was always so comforting. He's been helping me ever since the accident.

"Can we go out?"

"Yup" He said cheerfully as he grabbed his keys and a jacket. I grabbed my jacket as well.

"Is that Minhos old coat?"

I looked down at it and played with the sleeves, "Ya." I followed him out of the house and into his car. We started driving and I realized we never actually decided on a place to eat. "Umm where are we going?"

"You'll see. It's a bit of a long drive but I think it'll be good for you." He smiled over at me. I honestly loved that smile. It always reassured me things were gonna be ok. He turned on the radio loud enough so we could hear it but not too loud to where we couldn't hear each other.

"I need you to be honest with me ok?"

"What?"

"Why were you crying earlier today?"

"It doesn't matter. I don't wanna talk about it."

"Jisung please tell me. Was it the couple? Did they remind you of Minho?"

"No it wasn't them." I said quietly causing him to turn the music off.

"But something reminded you of Minho." It wasn't a question. He made this a statement. Because he knew he was right.

I looked out the window not wanting to make eye contact with him.

"Talk to me please. What was it?"

"I started thinking about the day we met. Me and Minho."

"oh. I'm sorry Ji."

"Theres nothing you can do about it."

The rest of the ride was silent. We finally pulled into a parking lot and headed into the restaurant. We took our seats and ordered food and drinks. I was in a better mood and decided to confront Chan about his little crush.

"So.. Jeongin." His eyes widened and he choked on his water.
