"kook, wanna go play some video games at my house?" yugyeom asks.

"nope not at all, but you would have to come and help me on something."

"what is it that-" his words got cut off halfway through, rudely by jungkook.

"shut it, just come and you would know."

"rude, much." he retorted.

~~~

"choose one," he says as he points to the glass that had many different flavored, colored, decorated cakes displayed.

"and who is it for?" 

"yerim. just choose, quick. i don't have much time." he rushes him as he kept taking glances on his expensive rolex watch.

"oh, i see. is it her birthday? oh, when did my boy cared about someone's birthday? is that love i smell in the air?" his best friend teased him, which annoyed him.

"shut up and choose." he shuts his best friend up, who was still cheekily smiling at him.

he shook his head in irritation, he was sure it was not love that caused him to do this. it was pure sympathy, that's all.

"i think this one would do, i'm sure she would love it. i mean i'm choosing it, the cake master yugyeom." he says proudly, punching his fist into the air as he said his last statement rather loudly, which caused some attention.

"stop being embarrassing, will you? so which one is it?" he hits him on the shoulder as he shook his head at his embarrassing best friend.

"fine. this one it is." he points to a medium sized cake, which was labeled as a strawberry flavored cake. the cake was simple, yet beautiful. it was frosted with pure white frosting and have little strawberries around it.

"i'll get this then," he says to the worker of the cake shop who immediately took it out from the display and placed it into a pastel pink box which had a yellow ribbon around it. 

"thanks, bro, for helping. i'll go first, video games another day then." he thanked yugyeom before rushing off to catch the direct bus home.

"at least he didn't forget about his manners. this boy is totally in love. there is no way he would be preparing this if he wasn't. guess his losing." yugyeom muttered under his breath as he smiles, proudly.

~~~

once jungkook had bought the cake, he rushed back home and placed it there, leaving it for his grandmother to prepare. 

yes, his grandmother. he personally begged his grandmother to prepare the food for his surprise birthday celebration he had planned. he thought that she must not have eaten home cooked food from that time period and since his grandmother's cooking skills are very good, he decided to ask help from his grandmother.

 fortunately, his grandmother was more than willing to help out with this special event, especially after he had told her about yerim's saddening story and how she was his girlfriend.

obviously, his grandmother had no clue about her grandson being a playboy and thought that yerim was his first girlfriend. at least, it was true that it was his first girlfriend he brought to his house.

after that, he immediately ran out of the house, to the cafe she worked at since she had work that day.

~~~

"jungkook?" yerim gasped when she saw jungkook in the cafe, panting for air. he certainly ran to the cafe after he got down from the stop.

fortunately, she had ended her shift, changed back to her normal clothes and was just about to walk out of the cafe and back home.

he says nothing but grabbed her wrist, pulling her out of the cafe as they ran to the bus stop to catch the bus that would head to his house.

as they ran, yerim managed to ask,"where are we going?"

"just follow me. you will know it when we reach."

~~~

they managed to catch the bus right before it left, luckily. there were empty seats too, which they both gladly took a seat to catch their breaths. 

the bus ride was quite long, they talked a little, but not that much. most of the time, yerim would be staring out of the window while jungkook stared at everywhere except her.

then, he felt something, more like an earpiece pushed into his ears, which got him a little surprised at first. 

he recognized the song currently playing. it was a song by one of his favorite singers, iu. it was the song, not spring, love or cherry blossoms. he absolutely loved that song.

"you like iu?" he asks, he didn't expect her to like iu.

she nods her head as she smiles, "yeah, i love her songs. you like her too?"

he just nods, then closes his eyes as he enjoys the music, constantly tapping his feet too.

after only a few minutes, he felt some weight on his shoulders. he looked to his right, only to see yerim fast asleep on his shoulders. 

"she must be tired from work." he murmurs under his breath as he shifts his position for her to feel more comfortable. 

unknowingly, his hands automatically touched her hair and moved it to the side, behind her ears, getting them out of her face. he felt his heat warm up suddenly as a smile cracked on his face. 

"she looks...pretty."

"don't know why but you are getting prettier every day. is the reason because of puberty or are my eyes tricking me. i don't really know."
