ROSE (Sequel To Fallen To Rise)

(NRTS) The First Date

Yoongi yawned loudly and shook his head, trying to get the sleep out of his eyes. He was about to stretch but noticed Miniko napping on his shoulder. She was curled up to him, trying as hard as she could to get warmth in the cold season. He smiled and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer to him.

Though that made her head fall off of his shoulder, forcing her awake. She blinked sleepily and smiled cutely at Yoongi. He smiled back and leaned in to kiss the tip of her nose. It made Miniko blush and wake up a little more.

"C'mon sleepy head, your stop is almost here. You gotta wake up," Yoongi whispered. He pinched her cheek gently making her groan and push his hand away. He kissed her nose again, making her blush and hide in his chest.

"I'm awake," she mumbled into his chest.

"Hey Minnie, we haven't actually gone out on a real date," Yoongi spoke. He shifted slightly so he could look at her as he spoke. She still curled up in his side, not wanting to leave the warmth emitting from his body. "We've hung out a lot, but I haven't taken you out anywhere. Are you free today?"

Miniko yawned softly, covering her mouth so her large open mouth wouldn't be visible to the public. She blinked a few times before answering him. "I'm only free for like an hour, I have family coming over today so I have to help my mom cook. I'm free tomorrow though."

Yoongi sighed and shook his head. "I have basketball game tomorrow. It's an away game so I wouldn't be able to be back in time. Either that or it'll be too late. The day after tomorrow is good for me."

"I'm studying with Miyuki for Mr. Kim's test. You can come if you want. I don't think she'll mind."

Yoongi smiled a little but shook his head. "No, baby, I want you to spend time with your friends without me. I'm not free much after tomorrow though. There's our break and I'm meeting some guy, Nomjaan or Namjohn or something, for this rap gig. He lives in Ilsan so we're meeting half way."

Miniko sighed softly. "So we can't meet up anytime soon, then? That sucks. We haven't gone out on a real date." She went quiet, upset by the fact that Yoongi and her wouldn't have much credibility as a couple.

Yoongi frowned at the sight of his friend (girlfriend? He hasn't really asked her yet) looking so disappointed. He tried to come up with a solution but his mind was still sleeping. Rather it was dreaming. It was thinking of this cheesy Indian movie his friend made him watch when he went through his Indian loving phase. Then it came to him.

'In one of those stupid movies, Dilwaale maybe, the guy was trying to ask out a pretty girl he met. She said she was busy and he blurted out that he only needed five minutes. And the next day he had this whole thing set up...yeah I can do that. Five minute date today...yeah?'

Yoongi thanked the heavens for his friends existence. He squeezed Miniko closer, giving her a little grin. She gave him a weird look. "I have an idea, Minnie. Dress nice, I'll pick you up at seven. Five minutes is all I need for the date."

She opened her mouth to tell him she's still busy but before she could, Yoongi pressed his lips up against hers. His arms held her face as he kissed her deeply, not letting her leave as though it were their first and last kiss. Though when the bus stopped, Yoongi ran out leaving Miniko dazed and confused over what happened.

Miniko sighed nervously as she waited for Yoongi to arrive. She was already dressed and ready in a beautiful red spaghetti strap floral dress. Because of the cold season, she wore black tights with a cute sweatshirt over it. Originally she planned to curl her hair, but when she's nervous she braids her hair so now Miniko's hair was in a fishtail. She decided to wear flats that matched her dress. They were by the door, waiting to be stepped in.
