Nabi frowned at him but then smacked his face. Jimin groaned in pain holding his face and glaring at Nabi.

"Do you think I slapped you because someone asked me to? It's what my mind said me to do. Similarly, I'm liking you because my heart asked me to like you." Nabi said shrugging.

Jimin chuckled at her. "So are we dating?" He questioned Nabi and she looked away from him.

"You don't even know me well. How can we date so early?" She tried to reason with him.

"Well, I know enough about you to date you. You're not on the wanted list by the police and don't do drugs. That's what I know. I think this much is enough to consider you safe for dating." Jimin shrugged casually and Nabi scoffed.

"But still you don't know about my past. We have differences." Nabi said and Jimin looked at her softly. He held her hands and she turned to look at him.

He smiled at her before saying. "We will probably never know each other completely. That's because we are different people. You have your world and I have mine. But we could align our worlds next to each other, right?"

Nabi smiled and nodded her head.

"So let's not be disappointed even if we can't fully understand each other. That's impossible to do. Instead, we'll stick to whatever is possible." Jimin said squeezing her hand.

Nabi smiled and nodded her head again. Jimin placed her hand on the couch and got up. He turned to look at a confused Nabi and extended his hand to her.

"Shall we go? To our date?"

AFTER A FEW HOURS

"Nabi-ah, stop! I can't go anymore. I'll puke. No more roller coasters. Please. We have tried all the rides over here and I didn't enjoy even one of them." Jimin said covering his mouth and stumbling towards Nabi.

Nabi sighed and nodded her head. "Okay then. What do we do now?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest and looking at Jimin.

"Let's eat some snacks for lunch and I'll take you to a mall." He stated and Nabi tilted her head.

Then she moved towards him and asked. "What is there to do in the mall?"

AFTER A WHILE

"OMG! There are so many things to do in the mall. Ahhhh, die all of you!" Nabi screamed while shooting with game gun in the arcade.

"I told you. Nobody regrets coming here." Jimin said doing the same. Both of them focused on killing the zombies on the screen.

"GAME OVER!" The computerized voice spoke indicating that their time was over. Nabi sighed and both of them placed the guns on the stand.

"Let's go dance," Jimin said pulling her hand somewhere but Nabi protested. "I don't know how to dance." She said and Jimin smiled at her while walking.

"In this dance, you just need to score. It doesn't have to be a dance and don't worry. I'll dance with you too. I am there for you." He said and Nabi's eyes soften at his last words.

AFTER A WHILE

"Why do you hate buying clothes?" Jimin complained pushing Nabi towards the trial room.

"Because I don't want to waste my money. And especially not yours." She said but Jimin pushed her inside the trial room.

She instantly turned to glare at him but Jimin pointed his finger at her. "My money, my rules. I get to decide if I want to spend it or save it. Now get dressed and show me one by one." He ordered and closed the door at her surprised face.

"Park Jimin! I'm killing you for sure." She yelled from inside and Jimin giggled.

"It's alright. My life is yours anyway." He said while resting his figure on the wall facing the door of the trial room.

After a few minutes, she came out wearing the dress, and Jimin's eyes twinkled.

"Why do you have to be so pretty?" He cringed while saying that. Nabi blushed and chuckled at him.

"You look amazing in everything, Nabi-ah! My heart is beating rapidly. You're so beautiful." He said while clapping.

Nabi started laughing at his actions and shook her head. "Thanks for the compliment." She said smiling but then changed her expression to a blank face before saying. "But I'm not trying on clothes anymore."

AFTER A WHILE

"So you wanted to come here for a long time?" Jimin said while getting out of the car.

"Yes, you can park your car here. We need to walk for a few minutes to reach there. I want to try their dumplings." Nabi said.

Jimin smiled and nodded his head before walking towards the restaurant.

"You always smile when you don't have anything to say." Nabi pointed out while walking beside him.

"You know I never smile at others. Only when I'm comfortable with someone, I show my happiness to them." He said while looking at Nabi.

They reached near the restaurant and the sight made them gasp in surprise.

"Woah! This place is always busy. I knew it. This queue is so long." Nabi exclaimed while shaking her head.

"Last time as well, I came here and returned without tasting it. Let's go somewhere else, Jimin." She said pulling his jacket away.

Jimin stopped her from walking away and held her wrist. "No, why? You said you wanted to taste it. Let's wait for a while and we can eat what you wanted to. How can we just leave without tasting it? You were so excited about this. Let's wait, Nabi-ah." Jimin said.

Nabi's eyes widen and her lips parted. She looked at his actions and recalled what happened on her last visit to this place.



flashback



"This is the place, Jackson. I always wanted to come here. Today's our first anniversary so let's eat their dumplings over here." Nabi cheered with Jackson standing beside her.

"I don't understand people who wait in line for food," Jackson said with a forced smile on his face. Nabi looked at him and nervously chuckled.

"We can go somewhere else. There are tons of restaurants over here." She said and Jackson nodded his head while smiling.

"The line is long. Let's go." He said walking away from the line.

Nabi chuckled sadly facing the dumpling restaurant but then looked up at him and followed him. "Jackson, wait for me."





back to the present





Tears were brimming her eyes but she held her head low so that Jimin cannot see those tears. Jimin still noticed it and frowned his eyebrows.

He held her hand and she looked up at him with a smile. Jimin smiled back and spoke softly. "Is something wrong?" Nabi shook her head before saying.

"Not anymore. Since I met you."
