Author's POV || 2009. 09. 26

You walked towards the flower garden while wondering about him. A soft smile on your lips. You were really excited to see him. The fall vacation was ending soon and you discovered that he went to the same University. Maybe because it was your first year, you didn't know he was also there. 

You felt better, the thought of going to University sounded better now. You knew him only for a few days but every time you went near him, your heart sparkled. Everything felt better. He felt safe and comfortable, he made you feel things you've never felt before. 

Entering the gates of the area, you saw him. He was sitting there, staring at the beautiful flowers with a smile which made your heart flutter. You gulped and tried to calm yourself down before taking small steps toward him. As soon as his eyes fell on you, his soft smile widened as he took a few steps near you.
"Hey!" He said as you waved at him saying, "Hello.." 
"Are you down? You're quiet." He asked as you looked down saying, "Not really..." 
It wasn't sadness, it was the fluttering heart that she couldn't control. 

"The flowers look better today." He said, smiling. 
"We come here every day... seems like we won't be able to, once University reopens." You mumbled. He sighed and nodded saying, "That's a pity. We should come here at weekends! It's such a nice thing that we go to the same University. I'll go to your class if you don't mind."
"O-Okay.." You spoke, in a low voice, smiling. 
"Then... which floor is it on?" He asked as you gasped a little, realizing you forgot to tell him.
"6th floor, 6D." You said. He nodded and said, "Alright~ You might get some attention though. I'm popular!" 

You smiled and said, "I already get enough.." 
"Really?" He asked, smiling widely. You just nodded and said, "They think I'm peculiar because I don't know how to socialize." 
"I can't really agree with them. To me, you seem like a very lovely person though it's not been that long since we're friends. I like you already." He said but little did he know, his 'I like you' made someone's heart almost run out of its ribcage.
"Are you okay? Your face is red.." He said, wondering. You nodded quickly touching your cheeks and said, "It's just the... heat." 

He smiled and leaned closer to your face, tilting his head. A chuckle escaped his lips seeing your expression as he backed away, pinching your cheeks. 
"Anyway, I brought something today. The reason I called you here..." He said as you frowned slightly, confused. 
"I brought my guitar. I wanted to sing a song in this garden but doing it alone doesn't give me the feels." He said as you looked at him with your doe eyes.
"I want you... to draw me with the guitar pose. Can you..?" He requested as you looked at him, looking down. You were feeling very flustered but couldn't answer as he immediately regretted asking that. He gulped and said, "It's okay if you don't feel comfortable."
"No, I mean.." You were talking but he cut you off saying, "It's okay! I'm sorry, I didn't know." 
You just stared at him before looking down.
"Instead, I'll sing a song. You told me about it yesterday too, right? So.." He spoke as you smiled a little, nodding. Still, felt bad for not being able to answer. 

You both were sitting with flowers around you, the evening sky and its dim light falling on you both, making the flowers shine slightly. 
You stared at Taehyung who was playing his guitar. You were looking forward to his singing with a smile. He looked at you once and looked down, he looked nervous.
You gulped and tried to encourage him but the words didn't seem to form as he looked at you. 
Helpless, you smiled at him, a big one and not the small nervous smiles you gave him. His eyes sparkled seeing your smile as he started singing. 

'In the streets full of flowers
I see you today too
Will it be in me

In the park in the early morning
I have my feelings now
Towards this old yellow
Illuminated by the moon
