"You could've called me too!" You giggled, shoving some pasta into your mouth as Jimin whined. "Thanks, guys, now I feel left out."

"Sorry, Jiminie," you mumbled, mouth full. He rolled his eyes playfully. "Besides," you paused to chew, "you aren't the one with the phone."

Tae nodded, pridefully. "I'm the one with the phone."

"Yeah, well, you know my home phone number, y/n!" You smiled and Tae chuckled. "We could've group called or something."

"Can you even do that?" you asked. Tae shrugged, going back to his food. "Well, whatever."

"Next time," you said with a nod. Jimin made a face at you and you made one back. You both fell into giggles as Tae pushed his container of cookies your way. You smiled at him before taking one.

"Well, what's the dress like anyway?" he asked. You smiled, straightening up as you got excited to talk about it.

"It's, like, lavender." Tae beamed. "I love it! It's got the, like the sleeves, they fall off my shoulder-- it's called off the shoulder, and--"

"We know what off the shoulder is, y/n." 

Tae put a finger up. "I did not, actually."

You rolled your eyes at the boys and continued. "And it goes in here," you pointed to your waist, "and then it flares out. It's so pretty! I love it."

"I'm sure it looks great," Tae said with a nod. "I was on the phone while she tried it on. I was a part of the decision," he said proudly. Rubbing it in Jimin's face.

"Did you get a picture?" Jimin asked him. 

Tae shook his head and began to respond. "She wants it to be a surprise for us--"

"I got one!" Jimin cheered. Tae's eyebrows raised. "She sent it on discord-- shit, you didn't even get one and you went with her!" 

You smacked your friend in the arm. "Jiminie!" Tae looked to you for an explanation. You just smiled.

"Why didn't you show me?" he asked, slightly offended. But your answer made up for whatever sadness he was feeling.

"You're the one who suggested purple after all. I wanted to surprise you with it."

"Surprise me?"

"Mhm." You took the last bite of y our lunch and began to lock the container. "You're gonna be my date after all. Wouldn't it be cute if I surprised you with my dress?"

Taehyung literally froze. His phone almost slipped out of his hand and Jimin glanced up, sensing something was wrong. You remained clueless. "Dude?"

You looked up and raised your eyebrows. "Tae?"

"I'm gonna be your date to the dance?" You nodded. "The grad one?"

"Yes, remember we talked about it?" You tilted your head. "Do you have another date? In that case, it's ok--"

"No!" Your eyebrows raised as you reached for another cookie made by his mom. "No, no, we can-- we can go together." 

You smiled. "Then you'll just have to wait to see my dress then."

"Oh, hey, you're still here." 

You turned, arms still crossed over your chest. You let them drop. "Hey-- all done your tutoring session?" 

Tae rolled his eyes and let the door fall shut behind him. He stepped next to you, standing at the entrance of the building. "It wasn't a tutoring session." You smirked. "We were discussing my paper."
