"what?!" jungkook and jimin exclaimed at the same time. "no like seriously." hoseok spoke. then he entertwined his fingers into mine, making me blush. but i looked away quickly. i didn't want my twin brother or my best friend to see me blush like an idiot. never.

"s-so.. you're trying to say that the two of you.. are like a couple now?" jungkook spoke, his eyes widened. i nodded slightly. "like you guys will be romantic and all?" jungkook asked again. i blushed even more at the thought of me and hoseok being all romantic.

hoseok nodded, smiling proudly. as his grip on my hand tightened. i think i'm gonna die of sweetness. "this is unbelievable." jimin spoke. then he stood up, placing his hands on my shoulders.

i looked at him in the eyes. "did mom approve to this?" jimin asked seriously. but i couldn't help to take him seriously. i can never get use to my brother being serious. "yeah." i replied.

jimin fell back to his seat. "oh my god. how is mom okay with this?" jungkook mumbled under his breath. and yeah, it's normal for jungkook to call our mom, his mom too. we're that close.

"mom?" hoseok spoke. i looked at him, to see him frowning slightly. "yeah. any problem with that?" jungkook rolled his eyes, folding his arms. "well of course! i'm her boyfriend. and you're calling my mother-in-law, your mom?" hoseok raised his voice. jimin and i both choked at the word 'mother-in-law'.

"woah, hoseok. you need to calm down." i chuckled nervously. rubbing circles on his back. he only pouted. which i find it super cute. then there was an awkward silence. of course.

"so.. what do you think of this?" i broke the silence. jimin and jungkook glared at our entertwined hands. then they let out a deep sigh. "i mean, it's a bit sudden for us. but i guess we'll get used to it." jimin spoke. hoseok and i smiled widely.

"wait, i didn't agree to th- ah! y-yeah!" jungkook groaned in pain. well i guessed jimin pinched his thighs. though i was worried that jungkook wouldn't feel happy about us being together. but i guess it would be okay, since i love hoseok. i don't need everyone's blessings, right?

"well jungkook, do you have any objections?" hoseok asked, putting on a fake smile. and whenever he does that, i find it super scary. jungkook quickly shook his head. hoseok then put on a real smile. well, that escalated quickly.

"anyways, wanna hang out after school today?" jimin asked, breaking the serious atmosphere. "erm no." hoseok and i said in sync. i looked at him and blushed slightly. "why not?" jungkook frowned.

"well.. we're going on a date, after school.. so.." i mumbled under my breath. jimin and jungkook looked at each other, shook. until jimin broke the silence. "well yeah of course! couple things huh?" jimin chuckled nervously.

"come on, can't we come a- have fun!" jungkook scrunched his face together, pain clearly evident on his face. jimin may be small, but he's strong.

"thanks." hoseok and i smiled. "but anyways, where are you guys going?" jimin asked, acting all naturally. hoseok almost fell for it, when i stopped him. "why do you want to know?" i frowned slightly. jimin rolled his eyes at me. "i mean i'm your brother. i'm older than you by a few minutes. i have the rights to know." he stuck his tongue out.

"come on. there's no harm in telling him." hoseok patted my shoulder. "whatever." i mumbled. "we're not very sure yet. maybe like just somewhere chilling?" hoseok lied. i broke into a small smile. "oh. okay." jimin's voice trailed off.

just then, the first bell rang.

when school ended, hoseok and i quickly rushed out of school, hands in hands. i told him that jimin and jungkook may be following us. so we have to leave as soon as possible. and luckily, he took my words.

so here we are, at the ice cream parlor. the one furthest from school, to be more specific. we didn't want them to be stalking us. it'd be so creepy. and not forgetting to mention, weird.

"anything that you'd like?" hoseok asked. "hmm.. i want the cotton candy." i smiled. i was about to take my wallet out, when hoseok stopped me. "it's alright. i'm your boyfriend. i should pay." he said. and with that, he walked away to order. and it was so cool. well at least for me. i have never dated. so everything would be fascinating for me. and new.

soon, he came back, with two ice cream cones in his hands. i frowned. i wasn't really a fan of cones. and i remember telling him that. but since he bought it. whatever. i'll just eat. maybe i could start liking cones too.

"so, why did you choose this place?" i asked out of curiosity. he stopped eating his ice cream, as he stared into blank space. i frowned at his behaviour. i snapped my fingers at his eyes level. then he snapped back imto reality.

"oh.. erm.. no reasons. i just found this place online. and thought that it'd be nice to bring you here." he spoke, and i nodded. though i felt like something was off. "plus, we wanted to run away from them, right?" he reminded. oh yeah, right.

"hey. i'm just curious.. why did you like me?" i couldn't help it. as much as it looked thick-skinned. i spent the whole night thinking about this. and i have to know about it now. since it felt like the perfect timing anyways.

"must you have a reason to like someone?" he spoke, his voice becoming surprisingly deep. i looked at his facial expression, and it seemed a bit dark. did i say something wrong?

i cleared my throat. "look. if you don't want to answer that. you don't have to." i spoke the first thing that came into my mind. i didn't want to piss him off. especially not at our first official date. nor do i want to piss him off in our future dates.

hoseok's eyes widened. "look, i'm sorry. did i came off sounding rude?" he asked worriedly. i nodded slightly. "sorry." he apologized again. i shook my head. "it's okay. you seemed a bit tired." i chuckled nervously. "just a little. sorry." i frowned. he keeps apologizing. and i don't know why.

"you don't have to keep apologizing, you know? it's fine." i smiled reassuringly. "if you're that tired, we can head ho-" "no no. it's fine, really." he cut me off. "besides i wanna spend more time with you." he added on, and it made me blush. but not as much.

because for some reasons. it felt like an excuse. it didn't felt real. it felt fake. but yet why am i feeling loved by that sentence?

"really?" i asked and he nodded. then he continued eating his ice cream. but i didn't. i put the ice cream down. and he looked at me confusedly. "why did you do that? you can't eat the ice cream now." he frowned slightly. i only let out a small smile.

"i can't eat this." i spoke. his eyes widened. "why not?" he asked. panic evident in his tone. "i don't like cones." i smiled bitterly. "o-oh.. i forgot." his voice trailed off, as his eyes trailed off from me too.

"sorry. i was thinking of something else. i accidentally ordered cone. if you want to change-" "no, it's fine." i cut him off. "hoseok, you're tired. let's head home." i smiled, standing up. and walked away first. as he followed behind.

soon, we arrived in front of my house. even though it was a forty five minutes walk from the ice cream parlor to my house. it felt like years. because none of us said a word. i guess hoseok is really tired huh?

"i'm here. i'll go in first." i smiled. before i left, he pecked me on the lips. and after that long day, i felt butterflies in my stomach. "it may be early now. but have a sweet dreams." he smiled. i nodded and entered my house. as he watched me enter. he made sure i entered, before leaving.

he's so sweet. i hope he have enough sleep tonight. he seemed so off today.
