You paced around the lift lobby restlessly, waiting for Seokjin.

*Ding*

One of the lift door opened, Seokjin stepped out of the lift and spotted you instantly.

"Let's go grab supper! My treat!" he chirped with a smile.

"What?" you replied, extremely puzzled by his behaviour.

Is this a hidden camera prank?, you thought. A few minutes ago, he was still irritated at the fact that you were alone in a room with Jungkook and now he asked you out for supper like nothing happened.

"Come, I know somewhere that still serve good food," he replied and grabbed one of your hand, leaving you no choice but to follow him.

*Ding* Another lift door opened.

You turned your head and saw Jungkook standing at the lift lobby, both hands in his pockets, watching you walked away with Seokjin.

You felt your heart ached a little. Why does it hurt?, you thought. You continued walking beside Seokjin, keeping your eyes straight ahead hoping to forget the image of Jungkook looking hurt at the lift lobby.

Seated in the car, Seokjin reached over to turn on the music player. Soft ballad music filled the car, breaking the deafening silence. Those were Seokjin's favourite. He would always sing along with it, pleasing your ears with his beautiful sweet voice.

You looked out of the your car window as Seokjin pulled over at the drive-thru. Without a word to you, he placed his orders through the intercom.

After collecting the food from the collection window, Seokjin continued driving. You didn't realized how hungry you were until the smell of fries filled the car and made your stomach grumbled out loud. Embarrassed, you folded your arms over your grumbling stomach in hope it would stop making so much noise.

You hear a small laugh.

"We are almost there," Seokjin said as he let out a laugh. He must have hear the grumbling noises your stomach made. You found yourself smiling at the sight of him chuckling.

Seokjin pulled over at the parking lot.

"Let's go," Seokjin said as he took the bags of food and walk towards the nearest bench that had the best view of the river spreaded in front of the park.

"Here," Seokjin added as he offered a burger, with the wrapping neatly tucked away, revealing half of the burger. Your mouth watered at the sight of your favourite food.

"Thank you..." you replied as you took the burger from him. You took a huge bite, ignoring how unglam it would be and allowed all the deliciousness of the burger filled your mouth.

Seeing you enjoying your food so much made Seokjin laughed. There it is, that window wiper laughter, you thought. You couldn't help but smile at the sound of his laughters, you could swear that his laughters was your favourite sound in the entire world.

"Do you remember our first date?" Seokjin asked suddenly as he looked up at the sky.

Your eyes followed his gaze. The sky were filled with stars, twinkling and shining like thousands of fairy light hung over the pitch black space.

You recalled your first date with Seokjin. He has always been a confident individual. Seokjin has one of the most beautiful face you had ever seen. Plump full lips, neatly trimmed eyebrows, expressive brown eyes and fair clear skin which all girls would be jealous of. He was aware of his good looks which was the main factor that contributed to his confidence level.

Watching him flustered and behaving shyly on your first date was one of the cutest side of Seokjin you have ever witnessed.

You remembered seeing Seokjin pacing nervously under your apartment block, which he denied when you asked him about it.

He brought you to a really nice restaurant that serves the best steak you have ever tasted. After dinner, both of you took a stroll in the park, where he spotted an ice cream stall and insisted that you must try even though you were full. Seokjin was the perfect boyfriend anyone could ever asked for. Gentle, caring, funny and he could even whip up a really nice meal.

You recalled the time when he had invited you over to his apartment, promising to serve you the best home-cooked dishes you will ever taste. Upon entering his house, you could smell the fragrance of home-cooked food welcoming you into the house. Seokjin proudly stood beside the dining table which was filled with dishes; Kimchi stew, soy marinated crabs, spicy stir fried octopus and assorted side dishes.

"You made all these?" you asked, surprised at the spread.

"Yes," he answered proudly and he ushered you to take your seat.

Both of you started eating, with you impressed by his cooking skills and him constantly feeding you more food.

"I'll do the dishes. Go tour the house on your own, explore a little," Seokjin suggested with a smile and a wink.

Seokjin's apartment was nice and cosy. It has a small kitchen, a dining area, a cosy living room and a bedroom. Most of the walls were painted off white with one or two sides of wall in wheat color. His furniture were simple too, the living room was decorated with a dark grey suede couch, a simple coffee table and a tall lamp. What caught your attention was a huge mirror that was mounted on the wall, which actually made the room seems bigger. You studied yourself in the mirror. Holding your breath to check if that makes you look slimmer. You always eat well but after you started dating Seokjin you became a little more concerned your weight. That man was all about food. If you eat it deliciously, then it's zero calories, you remembered he once said.

"You look so beautiful," Seokjin's soft sweet voice interrupted your thoughts.

"Ha-ha," you let out an awkward laugh. Embarrassed and suddenly very conscious of your image, you stepped away from the mirror.

"That's a nice couch you have," you blurted out as took a seat on the grey couch hoping he would change the subject.

Seokjin walked over and took a seat beside you, his mesmerising eyes fixated on yours.

"I always thought I was the most good-looking human on this planet," Seokjin boasted with a small laugh.

"But there is just something about you...It's so special, i can't put a finger on it and it's so attractive," he added as he cupped one side of your face with his large hand.

He inched closer to you, leaving just a small space between both of your face. He stroked your cheek lightly with his thumb, his eyes looking straight into yours as if asking for permission.

You slowly shut your eyes as he closes in for a kiss. His full plump lips lightly touches the corner of your lips. He shifted slightly and pecked the other corner of your lips. Seokjin cupped your face with both of his hands as he lightly kissed you on your lips.

"I love you for who you are, don't change," he whispered softly, eyes still closed as he rest his forehead on yours.

At the moment you thought about how did you ever get a man as perfect as him. Him being beautiful, humorous, perfect and you being...plain.

"Yeah, of course," you replied softly to Seokjin's question as you took another bite off the burger in your hand, stopping yourself from reminiscing your past with Seokjin.

At the corner of your eye, you could still see Seokjin's eyes on you.

"Can we try again?" Seokjin asked.

Your heart sank. You could almost hear the sadness in his voice. Nothing could make you happier than to see Seokjin's happy and cheerful self.

But will this relationship work out? You and him had tried. There are so many factors to re-consider; Seokjin's parents being one, your career, and someone whom you would hate to see hurt.

Jungkook.
