Love of Our Lives

Chapter 16 - Butterflies In My Stomach

With our hands holding together, we walked over to the "Tarzan's Jungle Boat Ride". Majority ofthe people queuing up are either families or couples. I am feeling really awkward right now. I sawwith the corner of my eyes that Jimin is fixing his shirt and I wanted to break this awkwardsilence between us and so I asked "Hey Jimin, are you wearing contact lenses today? Becausenormally I see you with spectacles instead." Jimin smiled and answered "Yup! I normally wearcontact lenses during the weekends and wear spectacles during the weekdays while in school."

"How do I look today? Do you like it? Or do you prefer me wearing spectacles?" Jimin's suddenquestion caught me off guard. "You look great in either ways!" I replied. Jimin smirked at me andtapped my head. What's with the tapping of my head? I wondered. There are still a couple orpeople queuing before us. I looked around and I see no signs of Yoongi and Cheryl. Where didthey went to? What rides are they riding now?

After about 15 minutes later, it is our turn. We have to get onto this boat and I saw that the seatsare actually quite compact, it's like a small bench inside the boat. Jimin carefully helped me getonto boat before settling himself down. At any one time there can only be 3 boats that are able toflow down their river course. As the bench is quite compact, I am actually sitting very close toJimin. I would say we are only about 5cm apart. This is how close our distance are! Help..!! I couldfeel my heart racing again.

Jimin looked at me, feeling concerned and asked "Your face is red. Are you feeling okay? If not,we can just get down from the boat. No worries." Before I could answer anything, the boatstarted flowing slowly down the river course. "Just hold onto my arms." Jimin said. Seeing that Iam still froze in action, Jimin swiftly grabbed my arm and cling onto his! This is the exactfacial expression I would say that I am having right now. YES! RIGHT NOW!! I am feelingflushed and shy all over my face right now...

Obediently, I just let Jimin cling my arms onto his. What is going on now? Why is my heartsuddenly racing so fast? I have to stop having this kind of feeling! We are just friends and nothingmore. So why am I feeling this way? Have I really fallen for Jimin..? I keep questioningmyself this and still to no avail. My brain is not working at the moment with him being so sweetto me all of the sudden. He is so good looking, charming, etc. So he must have suiters queuingfrom one end to another.
