I'm now in my sophomore year in college. I am enjoying it a lot. I love all my classes. My roommates have become my best friends. I still keep in touch with my family Sunghoon mostly. And it has been hard to contact Jungwon ever since he has become an Idol, but whenever we both have free time we always try to meet up for coffee and talk about what has happened in our lives. He has become really successful and I am really proud of him, I just wish we could see each other more often. Me and Jin have become close friends. And today he has asked me to meet up with him and to wear something nice. It took me off guard a bit because whenever we hang out I always show up in pajama pants and so does he. But I'll do it anyway. "Oh my gosh he is totally asking you to be his girlfriend!" Mijin said, shaking me. "Oh I don't think he is." "I think he is, why else would he ask you to dress nice when neither of you do when you usually meet up?" Yujin said raiding my side of the closet for something for me to wear. Then I started thinking. I really hope he isn't asking me to be his girlfriend. I don't know if I am ready after what happened with Heeseung. It may have been two years ago or whatever, but he was my first real relationship, and that ended badly. And Heeseung might always be in the back of my mind, I don't know. I just don't think I am ready to be in a relationship so soon. "I found it! The perfect outfit!" Yujin pulled out a nice black dress and Mina found me some heels. They pushed me in the bathroom to get dressed. I came out and they all giggled around me. Then Mijin pulled me in to do my makeup. Once she finished she gave me a mirror. I looked good. "Go get your man!" He sent me a text saying he was there.I waved at my friends then I left my dorm and got in the elevator. Now I am starting to freak out a bit. What if he actually is going to ask me to be his girlfriend? How am I going to respond? He is a close friend to me and I don't wanna lose that bond between us. Now would be an amazing time to call Sunghoon and ask for his advice. I went on my phone and dialed his number. "Sooha is everything ok? Usually you only call at night." "Yea everything is ok Hoonie, I need some advice. I have been hanging out with this boy for about a year and a half now, we are close friends and my roommates say that today he is going to ask me to be his girlfriend." "That's great isn't it? What are you going to do?" "I don't know! Like I don't know if I am ready to be in a relationship again so soon, after how everything ended with Heeseung and all. I don't want that to be the same reason we break up. And also I feel like I still think about Heeseung sometimes. No matter how much I hate him and try to forget him, he is still there and I feel guilty to have another man on my mind, especially my ex boyfriend. It doesn't seem fair to him. I just don't know what to do." "I see what you mean. But if I am being totally honest with you, I think if he were to ask you to be his girlfriend, you should say yes. It is about time you fully moved on from Heeseung. And I know it is still hard for you to do that, but you have to eventually. And this might be the way to do it. I know after Heeseung you have trust issues, and that is fully understandable, but you said yourself you've known him for a year and a half and he is a close friend which means you must have at least a little bit of trust built between the two of you right?" "I guess so.." "Ok I am not forcing you to do anything. I am not you so I don't know how you are feeling so this isn't my call, it's all your decision. But I know how happy you were with Heeseung, and I want you to feel that happy again. Maybe this is fate telling you you can feel that way again with someone new. And remember you have time to think about it, if you don't feel ready at the moment you can always ask for time, if he was meant for you, then he would wait for you to be ready." "I guess that's true. I am just worried that if I do end up dating him, that things will end up like it did with me and Heeseung." "I can't speak for him but this Jin guy and Heeseung are two different people. And if he really likes you, he won't cheat on you. Just think about it. I have to go to class now so I have to hang up, tell me how it goes." "Ok i will, Thanks Hoonie I love you." "I love you too. Bye." I got off the phone with Sunghoon and took a breath. I walked outside the dorm building to see Jin standing there waiting for me in nice attire. He looked over at me and his eyes widened. "Woah you look so beautiful!" I blushed. "Thank you! And sorry for the wait, I was on the phone with my brother." "Oh that's ok! Shall we get going?" I nodded and began to follow him as I had no idea where we were going. We arrived at this nice restaurant for dinner and sat at a table. We ordered our food and we waited. "So why did you want to dress all fancy?" I asked him. He smiled looking down at his lap. "Oh it's not important. After this, let's go to the beach!" I was a little confused why he wanted to go to the beach in dress clothes but whatever. We finished eating, then made our way to the beach. The sunset looked gorgeous reflecting off the water. I stood there taking in the fresh sea breeze. It felt so good to step away and visit the beach. For someone whose college is right next to as many beaches as possible, I never get to go often. I noticed him looking at me from the corner of my eye. I chuckled at him. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look that stupid?" He grabbed my chin. "No, I think you look beautiful." I was blushing again. He is going to do it now, isn't he? "Sooha, ever since I met you at that welcome party, ever since I saved you from falling, I felt an automatic connection. I knew there was something in store for the both of us. I instantly fell in love with you, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. We've known each other now for almost two years. So I feel it is time for us to see what the future does with our relationship."He pulled roses in front of him out of nowhere and gave them to me. "So Park Sooha, will you be my girlfriend?" here it was. He asked me to be his girlfriend. And I don't know what to do. I feel so overwhelmed and I can't think. I think I just have to tell him the truth. "Jin, this was very nice of you, I feel so appreciated from all of this, all your compliments. But I had gone through a tough break up recently and I don't know if I am 100% ready to date again. But I hope you know, when I am ready I would love to be your girlfriend, but I am going to need some time to think, let it be a few hours to maybe a week. I hope you understand that." I could see tears forming in his eyes but he smiled through them. I felt bad that I made him cry. "Of course I understand! Let me know when you decide, I can give you all the time you need! Lets head back now it's getting late." he started to walk back. I felt so bad for making him feel this way. "Jin I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." "You didn't hurt me, knowing you said that you need time to process things doesn't mean I don't have a chance. And that is all I want." I hugged him as we walked back. He then dropped me off at my building. "Bye Jin, thank you for today." he waved to me. "Of course! Sleep well!" Then he walked away. I walked to the elevator and waited inside. The moment kept flashing back into my head. I arrived on my floor and went to my room. When I opened the door I was greeted by my roommates. "HOW DID IT GO!!??" I started getting ready for bed. "Well he asked me to be his girlfriend." they all squealed. "OMG WHAT DID YOU SAY??" I sighed. "I told him the truth. That I didn't know if I was ready. That I am going to think about it. And I need to go at my own pace. And he understood that." they nodded. "As long as it makes you comfortable. Well we are gonna head to bed. Shut the lights off when you're done. We are so proud of you for knowing what is ok and what isn't for you." They all gave me hugs and went to their beds. I finished getting ready for bed and looked at my phone thinking. I thought back to what Sunghoon said on the phone. Should i give this a try? I pulled up my texts with Jin. and typed out

"I would love to be your girlfriend."
