Safe Haven (Seulmin)

Love is Scary

Seulgi's POV

I looked at him with sad eyes, anticipating his answer. Jimin sighs, avoiding my eyes. Maybe he really does want to leave.

"You..really are stupid," he said, catching me off guard. I look at him and he was smiling, his eyes turning into half crescent moons.

"What did you just say?" I asked, stunned not only by his words, but by his eye smiles that I can't seem to get use to no matter how many times I have seen them.

"I said you are really stupid. Didn't I tell you I'll stay by your side? Seulgi, if I didn't care, I wouldn't have gotten rotten milk thrown all over me. I stay by you because I care," he said, sincerity ringing in his voice. I look at him, a mixture of happiness and worry taking over my body.

"What about your friends? They don't seem to like me very much," I say.

"Trust me. They aren't bad people or anything, they just don't know you too well, " he explains nodding in reassurance. Suddenly, someone's phone rings, interrupting our conversation.

"Oh yeah, I had my phone on me," Jimin says, smiling sheepishly as he took it out. I looked at him in disbelief.

"You mean, when we were struggling to get out of this freezer, you had your phone with you the whole time! Who's the stupid one now?" I say, playfully glaring at him. He stuck his tongue out at me and called a number.

" Yah, Taehyung, I'm stuck in the gym closet. Come and unlock the door please. It's a long story," Jimin said, sighing. We stood there awkwardly, my eyes looking at anything but him. This was the first time I actually had feelings for someone and I didn't know too much about a relationship. I mean, if he cares about me and I care about him... does it mean I love him and he loves me ? I looked over at Jimin and he was already staring at me, a smile playing on his lips. Love was a scary thing, but he was worth it. If loving him means staying near him and protecting him then, it'll be worth it.

"Seulgi for the millionth time, I know I'm handsome. If you want, we can take a picture so that it lasts longer and you can stare at it when I'm not there," Jimin says, a teasing look on his face. I blush and clear my throat.

"My phone might get a virus if I store a picture of you in it. No thanks, I'll pass," I reply, rolling my eyes in his direction. He glared at me and pouted.

"Let's just take one photo. Come on Seulgi, we don't have a single photo together. Pleaseee," Jimin begged, his eyes turning into half crescent moons again. My heart began to pound in my chest as I looked away. Why does his eye smiles have to have such a big affect on my heart? I wasn't a big fan of getting my photo taken, but his pleas and eye smiles were too much to handle. I sighed and looked at him again.

" Fine, let's take one," I said, looking defeated. He smiles and pulled me closer to him.

" Smile on the count of three. One, two, three, cheese," Jimin counted. I looked up at the camera and smiled. Jimin looked at the photo in satisfaction.

" You look cute in the photo. Give me your number so I can send you it," he said, handing me his phone . A blush coated my cheeks as I took his phone.

" Is this how you ask other girls for their numbers? By taking a photo with them?" I questioned.

" Nope, it's just you," he said. I gave him my number and he sent me the photo. Soon, we heard foot steps outside and a male voice.

" Jimin, where are you?" Taehyung asked. We walked to the door and began pounding on it.

" Taehyung, we are in here. Hurry up, it's freezing," Jimin replied.

We heard a key go into the lock and the door open. A handsome guy with brown hair and a rectangular smile stood in front of me.

"You must be Seulgi. I'm Taehyung, Jimin's friend. It's freezing. Are you guys okay?" he asked, looking at me and Jimin with concern. Before we could answer, foot steps were heard racing to us.

"Seulgi! I've been looking everywhere for you. Why did you miss class? Are you okay?" Irene said, slightly out of breath. She looked at me, than at Jimin, and then at Taehyung. However, when she met Taehyung's eyes, she looked away quickly, her cheeks slightly pink. I gave her a questioning look and smiled as her checks became a darker shade of pink as Taehyung looked at her. Jimin cleared his throat and looked at them.

"Well to answer your questions, Seulgi and I are fine. We are just a bit cold," he stated, giving the two people in front of us questioning looks.

"That's a relief. I thought something bad happened to you guys," Taehyung said, sighing in relief. He looked at Irene and gave her a smile.

"You must be Seulgi's friend. I'm Taehyung," he said, sticking his hand out to shake hers. Irene looked up at him shyly and reached for his hand.

"I'm-," Irene began to say, but was quickly interrupted when Taehyung finished the sentence for her.

"Irene. I know your name. I've seen you in some of my classes, but I haven't had the guts to introduce myself to you. It would be great if we can hang out sometime," he said, a blush coating his cheeks.

"I would like that," Irene mumbled, blushing as well. Jimin and I looked at each other and chuckled.

"Guys, not to ruin your moment, but we should get to class," Jimin said, earning a glare from Taehyung.

"I'll see you around Irene. You too Seulgi," Taehyung said, smiling his rectangular smile.

"You too," Irene said, quickly grabbing my wrist and dragging me away. Once we were out their sight, Irene let go of my wrist and sighed in relief.

"You like him don't you," I teased, watching her.

"What? No-o I don't," she said, stuttering a bit.

"Don't lie Irene. I see the way you look at him," I said.

"How about you and Jimin? You guys don't seem to be just friends," Irene replied, teasing me back.
