The next day...

I put on some shorts and a cute floral top before tying my hair up in a ponytail. I put on some natural, yet cute makeup, and made my way downstairs. Normally, I'd never even bother getting ready to do something as simple as watering flowers with my grandma, but today was different. Today, I was secretly hoping to see Jungkook.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Did you already water those azaleas over there, honey?", my grandma asked, as she wiped soil off of her hands. "Yes, grandma. I think I'm finished.", I said taking a look around the yard full of different clusters of flowers that I had watered. As I scanned the yard, I saw him. "Finally.", I said under my breath. He was standing at the end of the driveway, waving at me with a big smile on his face. I set down the watering can and made my way towards him. I hoped I wasn't all sweaty and gross looking after doing yard work. "Hi Jungkook!", I said, returning the smile. "Hey! I was just gonna go for a walk. Wanna join?", he said with a raised eyebrow. "Sure thing.", I said trying to hide my excitement. "Hey grandma, I'm gonna go for a walk real quick!", I shouted over my shoulder. "Okie dokie! Be careful!", she shouted back.

We began walking down the narrow street, and I kept my eyes on the ground in front of me, not being sure what to say. "So how do you like staying with your grandparents so far?", he finally spoke up. "Oh um it's ok I guess. I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping to be able to hang with my friends over the summer, but I don't see my grandparents often.", I said trying not to sound like such a moody teenager who can't stand being around her family. "Yeah I get what you mean. It probably gets boring...but hey you got me now!", he said, giving me a cheery smile. "Yeah, I do. I'm glad I met you. I would've gone crazy if I couldn't talk to anyone my own age the WHOLE SUMMER.", I laughed. "I'm glad I met you too.", he said, smiling at the ground. Cute. "So how old are you anyways?", he questioned, looking back up at me. "I'm 16. You?" , I asked. "Haha I'm older! 17!", he boasted. "Oh whatever. That's one year!", I scoffed. "Yeah, one ENTIRE year. Respect your elders, Lily!", he said, poking my cheek. He touched me shsjsj. "Psh yeah yeah.", I said, trying to hide my blushing cheeks. This boy is driving me nuts.
