"eunjung-ah, let's go out today!" jihye shouted through phone.
"i'm too lazy to go out today..." i said grumpily.
"no, we're going out no matter what, i'll pick you up in 20 minutes, okay? bye." jihye ended the phone call.
damn. i really don't want to go anywhere right now. i want to stay in this bed forever. i shut my eyes but my phone beeped and it was jihye again.
from: bitchye
eunjung, i'm telling you to get ur ass up rn cuz i'm rlly going ok! xx
she really knows me well.
i quickly dressed up since i already took a bath earlier. putting my white plain shirt and denim shorts on. i also took my gray cardigan. i didn't bother to put make-up on since i'm too lazy. i just put my contacts on. i want this day to end already.
minutes after, i saw her outside our gate, with a car.
"hey, where did you get that car? you have one?" i asked as i sat beside the driver's seat.
"this is my dad's. i borrowed it."
i gulped as i hear her say that, i was confused and curious at the same whether she'll drive properly. this is the first time i'm seeing jihye with a steering wheel, and that makes me scared.
"you look like you're going to die." she flicked my forehead, "bitch, i can drive well!"
i massaged my forehead, "fine, let's just make this quick."
she didn't answer and started driving very fast. what the...
"JIHYE!!!" i yelled.
***
thank god, we arrived at this building safely. probably a hotel because it looks luxurious. but i really thought i was going to die a while ago.
"you almost killed me!" i keep nagging her as soon as we step out from the car.
"i was only making fun of you, i know how to drive well, okay?"
"i won't believe in you again when it comes to driving." i rolled my eyes, "so, why are we here?"
"i just got a pass here from my dad. this is where he works at. let's eat first. there's a restaurant at the second floor."
while we're eating, jihye spoke, "is park jimin still ignoring you? from what happened?" i almost choke on the soda i'm drinking.
oh, that...
"i don't know, i lost in-contact with him for a week. we're not even seeing each other at the neighborhood."
i sighed in disappointment, i couldn't really believe that. but i can't blame him, i'm not like-able and it probably made him run away from me. it's also my fault that he's been ignoring me for a week, so yeah.
"cheer up, it'll be okay." she patted my head.
i smiled, "you're dirty, you even have gravy on your hand." i wiped my hand with a tissue jokingly.
after we eat, we went to a shop here. it's cool to have a hotel looking like a mall. we saw and look around what we could buy. i bought new clothes and souvenirs that it took me to carry four bags just for my own. jihye has five shopping bags on her hands. we didn't pay because it we have our free pass, thanks to jihye's dad.
"why don't we go on the rooftop of the mall?" jihye smirked.
"what? are we allowed there?" i asked confusingly.
"yeah, there will also have a firework display later." jihye grabbed my hand and dragged me inside the elevator and went to the highest ground of this building.
"why's there a firework display when it's not even holiday or what?"
jihye didn't answer, instead, she took my shopping bags that i don't know how'd she managed to carry them all adding up her bags. she dragged me to the edge of the rooftop. there's no one around except from us. why are we the only ones here? it's very dark so i told jihye that i wanted to go back inside the mall, it seems like it's not allowed to go here.
"come on eunjung, just look at the view. it's beautiful." she said so i looked at the view.

"it's so pretty..." i murmured while admiring the view i'm seeing right now. this is the first i'm seeing the view of seoul. it's just... so pretty.
"but you're prettier." i heard someone say behind me.
instead of seeing jihye, i saw park jimin. standing in front of me, with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. showing off a little of his eyesmile, but he bit his lip after, looking apologetic. he handed me the flowers, i accepted it without knowing in myself.
"eunjung, i'm really sorry for what i did last time. i didn't mean it. it's just that... i don't know what to react or say. please forgive me. i know i'm so dumb for leaving you like that but please believe me, i'm really sorry. i've been thinking these days how to apologize to you. i talked to your friend, and yeah, she helped me setting you up tonight. please eunjung, forgi—"
"you're telling a novel, aren't you? that's the longest speech i've heard from you." i laughed.
he scratches the back of his head, "will you forgive me now?" he asked.
"of course." i pinched his left cheek.
"really? thank you!" he said smiling widely.
"shall we go now?" i stepped, trying to go.
"what? wait!" he grabbed my wrist and stood me up firmly, "i didn't answer you last time. actually, i have this answer even before you confessed to me." i gulped to his statement, it's making me nervous. i didn't reply.
"i like you so much, kang eunjung. can we start dating?"
the surroundings' sound became deaf to me, i can only hear him. i felt butterflies inside me, it's tickling me. it's so unreal... i just nodded with complete happiness taking in.
jimin told me to look up at the sky, and the firework display started, but it's not just a simple firework display, the last firework formed a heart. after that, some sky lanterns started flying in the sky, it's so beautiful.
"you really prepared all of this?" i asked.
"no, with the help of them" i looked where the lanterns are coming from and i saw people behind us, lighting it up.
i saw jihye, hoseok, taehyung, and even yera clapping her hands.
i'm in good terms now with taehyung and hoseok. i talked to them few days ago." jimin said.
"jimin..." i felt my eyes heating, and that's the moment i teared up.
jimin hugged me tight, patting my head. it felt warmer in his chest, it's so comfortable.
"jimin, i like you. thank you so much for this..."
he cupped my face, kissing me in my forehead.
i heard them shouting for joy. i laughed to their reaction.
"i like my opposite, the extrovert." he laughed.
"i like my opposite too, the introvert." i smiled.
