BTS Eighth Member | The Life: Year 2014

Chapter 36- The First Night

Author's Note at the End :)

August 24th, 2014:

We had spent our morning at Inkigayo, our early afternoon doing interviews of magazines, and our late afternoon practicing. Kai and I had arranged to meet today at 5pm. He really wanted to take me out shopping since he thought my closet was leaving a lot to be desired. I liked to think that I had a good fashion sense, but I didn't have the money or time to update and take care of my closet. Jongin wanted to put an end to that, so after a lot of convincing, I agreed to go shopping with him. He was taking me to one of those more upscale stores where we could get a bit more privacy, that was the only way he was going to get me to go. After that, we would go get dinner at SM since his managers had found out when one of his members accidentally let it slip. They seemed fine with it as long as we weren't found out and I didn't distract him from his work.

On the other hand, I gave Sejin the excuse that I had a lot of work to catch up on at the dorm so I could leave early. Given my not-so-great academic track record and my school's threats of not allowing me to graduate, he reluctantly let me go.

At 4:20 I rushed back to the dorm, showered, changed into a casual outfit, and made myself look pretty before heading to the address Jongin had texted.

I get to the address and see a tall figure with a sharp jawline wearing a mask and baseball hat leaning on the side of the building, failing at hiding due to his gorgeous appearance.

"Good try at trying to be incognito, but I don't think you could never hide such good looks," I say once I reach him winking.

Jongin looks up and immediately brings me into a tight hug once he realises who I was.

"I missed you so much," he whispers into my neck.

He lets me go slightly before lowering his mask, then my mask, and kissing me passionately. I reciprocate the kiss, but I quickly come back to my sense.

"Oppa, stop," I push him back hurriedly pulling my mask up, "we can't do this in public".

"It's okay, no one is watching, we're literally in a deserted alley," he says pulling his mask back up, nonetheless.

"Still..." I retort, "we can't be too safe".

"Well, you ready to update your closet then?" He asks, sticking his hand out for me to take it.

I smile and nod, taking his hand. We head inside and start browsing. We spent an hour and a half at the store. The store workers and Jongin picked out most of the clothes I tried on. He had done a surprisingly good job, he had studied me and picked out clothes I liked almost every time. And after a short argument, we came to a compromise that Jongin would pay for everything except the accessories since I felt like I should at least pay for something since they were for me after all.

"So, I borrowed my sister's fiance's car since I knew that you wouldn't like the idea of walking back to SM together in public... and I have to show off my new amazing driving skills to you," he says as we walked out of the store.

"Wait, is this the same sister that I met? Jungha-unnie? She got engaged!" I answer shocked.
