3 days later, Querida and Marw were eating their lunches together at the cafeteria in the school, Querida wanted to ask about Jungkook but on the other hand, she knew that if he would text, Marw would tell her immediately. She realized that Marw deep down secretly was hopeful to get a text also, on that night, they agreed to wait for the first step from him but gosh, why he was not texting and what was the hesitation for this. 
- You know, maybe it is way more complicated than we think, maybe it is not just sending a text to someone. 
- It's okay Querida, you don't have to find excuses, maybe he just likes to do those randomly. 
- I'm sure he is just confused, that's all. 
- Possible, I don't know, she played with her bracelet, she had this for a long time, it was looking like a wooden tasbih, a bracelet with red and green beads in between, with tiny tiny inscriptions on the beads, she had really good energy from it and that's why she always wore it and whenever she had bad feelings, she was touching and waiting to get comfort from it, and now she was playing with it also. 
-
After school, Marw wanted to go home but she realized that Querida wanted to go to eat somewhere, so she agreed. 
As always, they took the subway and they went to the main food area which called Bamdokkaebi Night Market, they knew they could find something there, it would be affordable but delicious, so it was a good decision. 
- You know, I think you should text him, what will you lose, you know? Just do it.
- You always come up with those ideas, why would I do that?
Marw ate her food.
- Why? Because, my friend, obviously you like this guy like half of the world but luckily, she put her finger up, you have his number and I say, use that chance. 
- I will, not now. I wanna be at home.
- Aish, you are really so annoying sometimes, you are thinking so much, she was joking with her now. 
- Ya! Eat your food, shut your mouth now, both laughed and they turned back their homes. 
-
Marw put some music on, she wanted to have a calming evening that's why she dimmed the lights, put some candles on. She was going to send a text to that guy, she made her mind on the way home but she didn't know why she was so deep into that, was it because he was so mysterious for her? 
She didn't have an answer for that but anyways. 
She reached her phone and wrote;
- 'Hey Jungkook, I'm Marw, how are you doing? Enjoying your evening? The weather is nice today.'
After she sent that, she felt like she couldn't write something way more boring and ordinary than this, perfect... (!)
She closed her eyes and leaned her head on the sofa but she heard her notification sound after a minute. It was him and he sent her a picture;

He added; - 'I agree that the weather is good to have a walk, the city is calm today

He added;
 - 'I agree that the weather is good to have a walk, the city is calm today. Where are you? '
- 'It's a beautiful picture, I'm just at home.'
- 'Do you want to walk around?'
- 'Where are you exactly? I could join.'
- 'Just tell me where you live, I can come closer to you'
She sent him the street name and she got up and called Querida;
- What happened? Did you forget something?
- No, no, no, ahem, wait, I texted Jungkook and, and he is coming here now. He sent me a picture also, she was talking fast, it was obvious that she was panicked a bit. 
- Caaaalm down please, calm down, just breathe a bit, it's okay, see, I told you he was shy, it's good that you texted him, will you sit at home? 
- No, I don't think so, I think we will walk around, why?
- Just asking, nothing,
she laughed, just calm down and be yourself that's all. 
- Okay, okay. 
- And call me afterward, okay?
- Okay.

- Now, go, hang off the phone Marw, go, she was laughing at marw's nervousness. 
After 20 minutes, she got another text from Jungkook that was saying that he arrived on the street. She wore one of her comfiest hoodies and leggings, it was a bit cold, so she couldn't think about being fancy, it was late also, it would look so funny if she would wear something funny. 
He saw her and waved slowly to say hi,
- Hey, he smiled and put his hands together to make a mini bow.
- Hey to you also, she smiled and did the same.
- I hope you had time and are not tired, he looked at her
- No, it's okay, today was a calm day, I was just chilling at home. 
- Good, he walked a bit slower than usual because she was way shorter than him, he realized that if he would walk normally, it would be fast for her.

They made a small talk about what's going on generally in their lives and she asked;
- Why you didn't tell me that you are this famous person when we first met and who were those guys at the pub? she looked at his face curiously, he took a small and deep breath;
- I don't know, it is a bit weird to start a conversation like, hey you know I'm from this band and I'm famous, he smiled, and the guys are there for me to be safe when I want to go out. 
- Oh, are they here now?
- Not so close, don't worry, he looked around, I wanted to say sorry to you actually, he looked at her face with big, worried eyes,
- Why? You did not have a chance to do something bad and say sorry for it, she laughed, he liked that she could joke about so many things and she did not create a drama out of anywhere, it was comforting for him, he added;
- because I told you that I would text you and didn't text anything, I was busy with work and I had to focus on it a bit, I am happy you are not angry. It's just that my schedule is so packed most of the time. 
- Oh, no, why would I be angry, come on, she smiled, I was just a bit surprised that's all. 
- Mmm, he checked her face to understand how she might feel at that moment, may I show you what I was working on during that time? 
She was surprised but nodded her head, he took his phone out,
- You have to listen with the earphones, it sounds better like this, he gave her the earphones.
- We have to listen together, put one also, then we both can listen, she sat next to him and pushed herself a bit closer for wearing the earphones at the same time, he smelled always so good, she thought. 
- Aish, he tilts his head and smiled wildly, I'm a bit nervous now, just be honest about what you are thinking, okay?
- I will be honest, I can't lie, my face gives me away, shoot it, she smiled.
He started to play the song and the lyrics went like this;

 " Nal seuchineun geudaeui yeoteun geu moksori
Nae ireumeul han beonman deo bulleojuseyo
Eoreobeorin noeul arae meomchwo seoitjiman
Geudae hyanghae han georeumssik georeogallaeyo
Still with you" 


The song started with a really soft, phone-like sound, then really calming music followed after that, they both listened calmly for 3 minutes and 58 seconds. 
She took off the earphone and handed back to him, she was feeling so much at that point, her heart was beating in a real strong but slow way, she did not know how to name this.
- What do you think? he was looking at her face like a kid and she could just say;
- It's is.. ah.. it is so beautiful and.. touchy. People can really feel your emotions through your voice and singing way... It's really beautiful, I really liked it, she was feeling like she could cry... it was so heart-melting for her, such a hopeless romantic she was in the end.
- Really? I was not sure about the-
- No, I mean it, it is really perfect, she looked at his face. He smiled and looked at his own hands for a while, he looked happy and shy a bit. 
- You are really so talented, my friend showed me some of your songs. I got a quick BTS 101 class from her, she realized that he was getting shy so she thought she a make him smile and distract him a bit also. 
- Oh, what did you listen to? Did you like them also? he was curious now,
- Yeah, they have good energy, I liked it, everyone is so good at their parts. 
- That's good to hear, thank you, he smiled. 

They were silent for a moment but he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitating to talk for a reason. 
- What would you wanna say? You can say it, she looked at his face and smiled a bit.
- Oh, ah.. mmm actually...
- Just tell me Jungkook, I don't think you can surprise me with something at that point, you are this Golden Maknae or something, so, she laughed.
- Ahhh, stop this, he was complaining and pouting at the same time but smiled also.
- Mmm? Just tell me, I'm curious now.
- Okay, actually today is my birthday, I was with my hyungs and we made a Vlive also but I wanted to take a walk in the last hours of my age. 
- Why you did not tell me! I hate not giving gifts on birthdays! 
- What, he looked at her and laughed
- YA! That's not fair, you can't tell me that today is your birthday and I don't have a gift for youu... she made a sad face to him. 
- I don't expect gifts, ahh don't make a sad face, it's okay, see you are here, it is enough to gift for me, I really mean it. 
She looked at her hands and then she realized that she could give him a gift and she started to take her bracelet off from her wrist, he was watching her also.
- No, no, don't give me your own thing
- Will you let me? I don't wanna grab your arm, she looked at him with threatening eyes and he just gave his wrist to her,
- Thank you, it looks really nice, he took his wrist closer to look at it. 
- I really believe the energy of the objects and I always got nice energy from this one, so it's yours now, Happy Birthday and don't lose it, I had it for long years, she smiled. 
He wanted to give her a hug but she stopped himself because he didn't want her to think that this is his reason to be here, it wasn't. 

After that night, Marw explained everything to Querida, she was so happy for this evening also, it was such a calm and bonding thing to do together, simple but effective she thought. 

Jungkook also texted her when she turned back home that night and he said;
 " Thank you so much, getting such a personal gift is so special for me, I will wear it as much as possible and I will feel a good energy also, thank you so much."

2 Days later, Querida sent that picture to Marw with that text;
