You're the first boy l've ever kissed," he said to me.

"I figured might have been," I said

"Why?" He asked innocently." Did I do it wrong? "
he didn't look like he'd be too upset if I'd said yes, but it wouldn't have been truth.

"You're a great kisser," I said, giving his hands a squeeze.

" Have you ever been in love? " He asked me.

I ran my hands through my hair and gave him one of those look. " You mean before now? "

I said it like the way Jungkook had told me to say it if a girl ever asked me that question.

" I'm serious, Taehyung, " he said, tossing me a side eye.

I guess jimin had seen those movies, too. With jimin, I'd come to realize, i always seemed to be going from high to low and back to high again in less time than it takes to swat mosquito. I wasn't quite sure if I liked that part of our relationship yet, though to be honest, it kept me in my toes. I was still feeling off balance as i thought about his question.

"Actually, I have," I said finally.
His eyes were fixed in the ground. I think he thought I was talking about Jennie, but looking back, I'd realized that what I'd felt for Jennie was totally different from what I was feeling right now.

"How did you know it was love?" He asked me. I watched the breeze gently moving his hair, and i knew that it was no time to pretend I was something that i actually wasn't.

"Well," i said seriously, "you know it's love when all you want to do is spend time with the other person, and you sort of know that the other person fells the same way."

Jimin thought about me answer before smiling faintly.
"I see," he said softly.

On new year eve I took jimin out to dinner it was very first real date he'd ever been on and went went to small waterfront restaurant in more head city the waiters wore black and white, like butlers and when you look out the giant windows that completely lined the wall you could watch moonlight reflecting off the slowly moving water

There was a pianist and a singer too, not every night or even every weekend but on holidays when they thought the place would be full. I had to make a reservation, and the first time I called they said they were filled ,but I had my mom call them, and the next thing you knew something had opened up. I guess the honour needed a favour from my dad or something.

It was actually my mom's idea to take jimin out some place special. a couple of days before, no one of those day jimin was back in his old self I talk to my mom about the things I was going going through.

"He is all I think about, mom," I confessed. " I mean, I know he likes me, but I don't know if he she is the same way that I do."

" Does he mean that much to you?" she asked.

" Yes," I said quietly.

" Well, what have you tried so far?"

"What do you mean?"

My mom smile. "I mean that jimin like to be made to feel special."

I thought about that for a moment, a little confused was not that what I was trying to do?

"well, I have been going to his house everyday to visit," I said.

My mom put her hand on my knee. even though she was not a great home maker and sometimes stuck it to me, like I said earlier,she really was a sweet lady. "Going to his house is a nice thing to do, but it's not the most romantic there is.you should do something that will really let him know how you feel about him."
