~ Saturday ~

"I don't know what to wear!" I shouted in frustration as I gripped my hair from the top of my head. "Are we just hanging out or this like a date?"

I looked through my closet once more and pulled out some clothes that I would consider wearing, but remained undecided on.

I grabbed my phone and called (F/n) through video chat and she picked up in a few seconds.

"Hey!" She greeted through the screen, but she could see the clothes that were sprawled out on my bed. "Are you cleaning out your closet or something?"

"No. I'm hanging out with Seungmin in an hour, but I don't know what to wear!"

"Ooo is it date?" She exclaimed.

"Well, he never said it was."

"So you want to impress him, but not overdo it in case it's not a date, right?" She questioned and I nodded my head.

She lightly chuckled and informed me that she would be there in ten minutes. And with that, she hung up.

True to her word, she showed up at my front door in ten minutes with my mom greeting her in as she left the house to go to work.

I led (F/n) down the hall to my room and as I walked in, I said, "I don't know why I'm getting so worked up about this! I shouldn't be stressing about this!"

"It's called having a crush (Y/n). Admit it, you like him and want to look cute for him."

A smile threatened to appear on my lips but I bit the inside of my cheek to stop myself, but ended up covering my face with my hands. I parted my fingers and let my eyes peek through as I looked at my friend. "He's somehow squirming his way in to my heart."

"Aww!" She squealed before she remembered, "The only thing that sucks is that he'll be leaving soon. Would you try a long distance relationship with him?"

"Woah, don't start getting ahead. I haven't even thought about that nor the idea of dating him yet."

"But if he asks, would you?"

"...Yes."

"I really hope he does. Hey, maybe he'll end up staying here for you. I think that would be so cute. But where are you two going anyways?"

"It's called the Garden of Eden." I pulled up the location on my phone and showed it to her.

"It looks nice! That would be a nice spot to ask someone out."

"Don't make me get any ideas. What if that doesn't happen huh."

She playfully rolled her eyes at me and started pulling out clothes and styling me in different outfits until she chose (outfit choice).

"Perfect! Let me just fix up your hair a bit and you'll be ready to go! Do you want to hang out later that way you tell me everything that happened?"

"I have plans with Yeonjun later, but I'll see what time I'm back and maybe you can come over?" I responded in uncertainty.

"Sure. I didn't know you were booked for the day," she laughed. "Yeonjun will be so sad if you end up taken before you meet him later."

"I kinda have a feeling he's planning to ask, but I'm not sure. I'll just have to see how things play out with him."

In fifteen minutes I was all ready and checked my phone and saw a message from Seungmin saying he would be here in twenty minutes.

"I'll start heading out since he'll be here soon. I hope you have fun and be sure to text me later!" I escorted (F/n) out and went back to my room where I would occasionally look at myself in the mirror and pace back and forth. "I'm getting a bit anxious now."

Twenty minutes quickly went by and I heard a knock at the door. I grabbed ahold of my phone and purse and rushed on over to the front door and flung it open.

I saw Seungmin nervously standing there with a small bouquet of (favorite flowers), but a sweet smile graced his lips at the sight of me as he said, "Hey."

He handed me the bouquet of flowers that I happily accepted in my hands and thanked him with one thought popping into my head. 'So...is this a date then?'

"You look cute," he shyly complimented with his ears growing warm as he turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Thank you. You look pretty cute too," I returned the compliment as I scanned him from head to toe as he wore a gray hoodie with a red heart and a wifi symbol above the heart in the center of the hoodie and a pair of baggy black jeans.

His ears grew warmer and a shy smile appeared on his lips. "Should we start going now?"

"Yeah, let's go." I locked the door behind me and followed him to his car and watched as he opened the door for me. I stepped in and sat down and set the flowers down on my lap before buckling my seat belt.

The drive there would take about an hour and a half and during the first half hour, we would spend our time talking with music playing until my head began to hurt.

I closed my eyes for a moment to help ease the pain, but opened them when I heard Seungmin ask, "Are you getting sleepy?"

"No, my head usually starts to hurt during a car ride, but a nap does help it go away."

"Could it be motion sickness? You can sleep since we have another hour to go. I wouldn't want you to feel uneasy the entire car ride."

"Wake me up before we get there then, okay?"

"You got it!"

I knocked out in about ten minutes and he occasionally stole glances at me from the corner of his eye and smiled as he saw the way I comfortably slept in the passenger seat.

A noise coming from my purse that was right next to me caught his attention and he realized that my phone was vibrating.

"Should I wake her up or...?" He hesitantly reached his hand out to me and before he could lightly shake my arm, he stopped himself and instead reached inside my purse.

"I'm sorry," he quietly apologized as he grabbed my phone and pulled it out, but a scoff escaped his mouth when he saw the caller ID.

Yeonjun.

He stuffed my phone back inside my purse and had no intention of letting me know about the call. The thought of him and seeing his name irked Seungmin and made him tighten his grip on the steering wheel.

He would have to find a way to distract me from my phone to prevent me from seeing his missed call and the incoming missed text messages.

Seungmin stared at the road with a scowl and hardened eyes before a sigh escaped his lips. He would not let Yeonjun nor anyone else interfere in his quest to steal me away.

I was stolen from him once, but he would not let it happen again.

Seungmin gently placed his hand on top of mine and rubbed his thumb over my hand.

'Will you finally remember our shared history?'
