Like every night, Seokjin will be plastered in front of his desktop either finishing his assignments or editing his photoshoots for his company launch. Tonight, Seokjin was editing Jungkook and Lisa's photos. Honestly not much of an edit, since they're simply look great. He cut out their outline and adding stickers here and there to make it look appealing and catchy.

Then he edited the video of them two walking along the beachside in the Flowery clothing, as part of the teaser for the soft launch. He was editing, when his phone starts to vibrate. Speaks of the devil. He put it on a speaker mode, so that he can multitask.

JK: Can't you just stop working already?

Jin: I've got datelines, honeybee~

JK: Tell me who set the dateline?

Jin: I've got a team to feed. I can't just simply delay things.

JK: Fine. Anyway, meet me at lobby area in 5 minutes.

That made Seokjin stopped clicking and picks up the phone.

Jin: Five minutes??? No!!!

JK: I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.

Jin: No way. I already delayed this edit. I can't-

JK: Babe, it won't be long. And go change to something warm. Maybe put on hoodie and long pants. See you, in five.

Seokjin huffed as he conceded to the request. So he saved his edits and pushed his chair away from his work desk. Despite his disgruntlement, he went over to his room and his eyes darting around the closet to find the right outfit to wear. He then puts on his contacts, dabbed bits of his favourite perfume and left the house.

The moment he stepped out of the lobby, he was taken aback by the loud engine sounds of presumably from a bike. He opened his eyes and there a person with a helmet on, donned with black biker jacket and black ripped jeans. Seokjin frowned as the person didn't even move and kept staring at him. He looks behind just to confirm the person was indeed looking at him.

Seokjin flinched as the person finally lifted his helmet and there that bunny smile. No freaking way. Since when he took his license and where did he loan this bike from?

Jin: Honeybee! Did Aunty and Uncle know about this!

JK: Sort of. Now, babe. Is this why you took so long to come down?

Jungkook chuckled as he sees Seokjin in his light blue denim long sleeve overalls. Totally a different vibe that he always sees on daily nights. Did Seokjin dressed up for him? I mean the fact that he puts on contacts means he puts in effort right? Did Seokjin like him too? Okay, tonight will be the night then.

Jin: What do you mean? You told me to wear long sleeve and pants. I need to take some time to change okay!

JK: Since you dressed up for me, I guess you're forgiven babe~

Jin: I did not dress up. This was the first outfit I see in my closet!

JK: If you say so~ Now put on this helmet, we're going for a ride.

Seokjin eyes sparkled as he was handed over pastel pink helmet with a white decal of small flowers all over.

Jin: This is so nice! It's pink too!!! My favourite!!!

JK: Good now put it on quick. Or... do you need my help with it?

Jin: This is easy. I can just put it on myself~ I've got plenty of helmets back at home~

JK: You have bike license?

Jin: Nah~ I used helmets when I ride bicycle~ You know for protection~

JK: I think too highly of you. Now hop on, babe.

Jin: Rude! So where are we going...?

The bike was a bit higher, so Seokjin hold on to Jungkook's shoulder for support and he swiftly managed to position himself comfortably behind Jungkook. Just that he contemplated on where to place his hands. Jungkook sensing the apprehension, slightly turned to ask Seokjin to move closer, then to tilt his helmet sideway so that Seokjin can lean on his back which will make it easier for Seokjin to hold Jungkook.

Seokjin was very nervous. After all, it was his first time ride this. Plus he has never been this close to Jungkook before. And back hugging Jungkook? Oh? He has abs?

JK: Off we goooo~

Jungkook had no place in mind, so he has been riding alongside the Hangang river. Seokjin was his first pillion rider after he received his official bike license. It has always been his dream date, to have his special one on his back, cruising around the nightlife of the Seoul city. Everything just felt right.

He looked forward and he saw the glittering lights of Namsan tower and that's it. He will make tonight, their night. So he sped off with a renewed determination and desire. 

He safely dropped the kickstand and turned off the ignition once he reached the destination. He took off his helmet, but noticed his pillion rider was not moving an inch. Seokjin was still back hugging Jungkook. 

Jungkook tapped Seokjin's hand, telling him they have reached and Seokjin slowly released his hold. Before Jungkook could reach out to remove Seokjin's helmet, he dodged and abruptly hold down Jungkook's shoulder so that he can go down safely. Then he walked away, leaving Jungkook stunned.

JK: Babe! Wait up! Aren't you going to remove your helmet?

Seokjin kept walking ahead and didn't even respond to Jungkook. So Jungkook did a little jog to catch up and managed to block his way by standing right in front. 

JK: Do you like this helmet so much?

Seokjin stood and simply nodded.

JK: Is everything okay? 

Again Seokjin nodded. Definitely not okay. Jungkook tried to again reach out Seokjin's helmet but again, he dodged.

JK: May I? Please?

Seokjin faced down. Jungkook couldn't help it, so he approached nearer and slowly lifted the tinted visor. This wasn't the sight he envisioned. Seokjin with his puffy swollen eyes, dark rosy nose and wet cheeks from the never ending tears.

JK: What's wrong, babe? Was the ride too scary for you? Tell me what's wrong?

Jin: Tsk. Nothing's wrong. Tsk. It was fun. Really fun. I like it. Really. Tsk.

Jungkook gently removed the helmet, and then slowly lifted Seokjin's chin.

JK: Then why are you crying?

Jin: Cause... Cause... It has been awhile since I had this much fun. Things has always been about meeting the datelines and it's hard to have fun. So thank you. Jungkook-ah. Tsk. I- I- 

JK: Aigoo... come here, my cry baby...

Jungkook embraced the crying Seokjin, and comforts him by gently patting his back.

JK: Shhh... Everything going to be okay...

Well, I guess tonight is not the night either... he thinks.
