"Let me Laugh Again" V Fanfiction

Chapter 7: It's hard to...

V was feeling quite happy and accomplished. He placed his phone in his pocket and whistled while he waited for Myungsoo to come pick him up. He was sure that he was far from being a race car driver but at the very least, he didn't get any scratches on the car.

He fiddled with his phone and smiled because he got her number. 'Hehehe..' he laughed to himself. He opened his phone to type a text message to her but Myungsoo arrived. He got in and Myungsoo drove away.

In the van, V was grinning. Instead of texting her, he decided to take his phone out and dialed her number. "Uhm - I need your help..." "Oh - okay. How can I help you?" V was actually trembling.

After what he had been through in the past, he wasn't sure that he could do this anymore. Calling girls or making conversations with them - he was pretty hurt then but now, Min-ji made him want to do great things; brave things. So he forced himself to calm down when he heard her voice.

"Uh yeah - I need to uh...Do you like ice cream? Because if you do, uhm we can go out and have some?!" the last word was whispered uncertainly. He smacked himself but it was too late to take back the invitation. "Oh - uh. Sure! I love ice cream!" she replied.

V was so relieved but stopped himself from sighing over the phone. They set a date for tomorrow - after the lesson and then hung up. V was giddy all the way to the practice room. He practiced by himself and still felt energized even after dancing hard. Suga and Jin came into the practice room and saw his idiotic grins.

"Hey - look who's happy - eh?" Suga commented. Jin gave him a lopsided smile and asked V, "What are you so happy about, V?" V just laughed his loud laugh and didn't answer them. He just asked them to practice their comeback choreography.

Min-ji was shocked and she doesn't get shocked easily. After Taehyung hung up, she stared at her phone for a few moments before shaking her head at the circumstances. She smiled when she thought about him - and she wondered why he wanted to have ice cream with her. 'A date?' she laughed to herself.

She was excited to go out and for once, have no worries. She worked hard and put in as much work as she could into the old Mustang that her friend owned. She decided to go home but hated the fact that she had to be driven around. Her car was still 'being held for ransom'. She hung her head as she called their butler and said; "Stevens - I'm ready, Please come and pick me up from the club..."

V had a hard time getting some sleep. He couldn't understand the butterflies in his gut. 'Surely I'm too old for this...I mean - it's just ice cream!!!' he thought. But the amount of tossing and turning didn't stop until 3 in the morning.

"Good afternoon Taehyung! What's wrong with your eyes?" Min-ji asked when he arrived.

'Would you believe that it was because of you?' he asked her in his mind. But aloud he just said, "I had a lot to think about so-" and then laughed to cover his vague answer. His heart beat so fast when she smiled at him.
