(Reader's POV)

I was admiring the night sky from my room's balcony when my phone buzzed.

New message.

Taehyung: Anna told me u're up now

Taehyung: Do u hv plans tonight?

Taehyung: If not can I take u out for dinner?

I was glad to see his messages but something about the last one seemed off.

And then It clicked. We were just friends with benefits. Why was he texting me as if he wants to go on a date? Did he mean it that way?
Or maybe I was just overreacting...

(Ping!) New message

Taehyung: U, Me and Jimin

Taehyung: he wants to go hv dinner outside too so let's go together?

OHH, so he didn't mean it that way...

I sighed in relief. The last thing I needed was my fear of commitments drowning me in deeper sorrows, I didn't want to lose my friendship with Tae due to some petty misunderstanding...

I texted him a Yes quickly and he replied that he would come to pick me in an hour from my room.

Wait-JUST AN HOUR?!

I didn't want to go to dinner with superstars looking like a drenched cat in sweat, So I rushed into the shower real quick!!


Anna had helped me get ready and I was feeling better because I liked the way I was dressed.

She had given me one of her tweed sets to wear- though it was not something I would normally wear, I agree to wear it tonight because it looks vibrant.

I was still feeling a little fearful - what if I lost control in front of Taehyung and Jimin?

I was still feeling a little fearful - what if I lost control in front of Taehyung and Jimin?

How was I gonna explain my anxiety attacks to them? But Anna eased my mind- again and again reminding me that all I needed to do was focus on the moment.

So I cleared my head and waited for Tae to show up.

Exactly at the time he had mentioned, the room bell rang and it was Tae.

He looked so handsome- he was wearing a plain shirt and pants, looking prince-like.

I had to control the urge to squish his face and kiss him right there!

But he was alone. No sign of Jimin.

"You look-wow," Tae said breathily and I felt shy, hoping my face wouldn't give me away.

"Thanks- you too - Umm but where is Jimin?" I asked.

"Oh- about that, he canceled last minute...Hobi hyung had already booked some theater tickets with him so he went with him"
