I find myself slapping some sense into me, clearly, I wasn't thinking straight when I swiped right on him. Now... I've gotten myself stuck in this sticky situation. I can feel all the questions swarming inside my head all at once and this is why one should never plan to do online dating. I know I said that I wouldn't go back on my word and that I would just go through with this whole entire plan - did I even say that I would go through with this whole entire plan no matter what happens? What am I supposed to do in this type of situation, message him back and say, 'I swiped right on you, want to go out with me?' that wouldn't seem like the most appropriate conversation to start off with. I close my eyes shut as I hover my finger to the message he sent me. It's a few seconds afterwards when I open my eyes to reveal what in the world he sent to me. I try my hardest to suppress my own laughter when I read the first few words of the text, "Y/N, thanks for appreciating my beauty-" I have never read a text message like that ever in my life and now I guess I can check that off my bucket list. I continue reading the rest of the text message, "and for swiping right on me. If you'd like I hope we can meet each other and get to know one another." He doesn't seem like a bad person, just, a little bit over confident about himself.

I start typing a message back to him and press the send button before reading it. I realized afterwards that I didn't exactly make sure I didn't sound, well, embarrassing... "Jimin, I'd be down to meet if your open to it and I hope that we can get to know one another too-" This didn't sound as cringe as if you continued to read... "Sorry, just to make sure this isn't some psychopath, right...?" I want to crawl in a hole and die a sad death. I get off my chair and fall face first on my bed and let out a groan, "couldn't you sound like a normal human being for once?" I don't think there will be a response from him, ever. I wouldn't be too enthusiast to text a girl who asked if you were a psychopath. There's a notification ding after a few seconds and I lift my head up to the direction of my phone.

Jimin's POV

There hasn't been any girl that seems to be worth my time, none of them are providing me any entertainment that's of value to me and it seems that its lead me into making a Tinder account. Don't any of you question my life choices, when your on the verge of almost dying from boredom it's what you've gotta do. I've decided to stay clear of dating anyone for now and just sticking to small dates and then letting them off. It hasn't been too long since I broke up with my girlfriend and you'd understand if you were being stalked and followed all day. Talk about trust issues - well, actually I can't blame her for my handsomeness. Anyways, I thought after breaking up with her, that from now on I'm not gonna date anyone seriously. I already know what the outcome of dating someone will be so there's no point and besides, it'll be fun to play around.

It's a fresh start for me now and I've got that sad excuse for a girlfriend out of my life, finally. I've decided to go for something I normally wouldn't find myself with and this is someone I would never be caught dead with. I came across a girl that seemed to have how do you say it, sparked my curiosity. Maybe some part of the population would swipe right on her but I sure as hell wouldn't, too ordinary compared to all my past girlfriends and besides, I feel like she'd probably give me a lot of trouble for some reason. Plus, she's a dog person and I'm more of a cat person have few cats myself. I was about to swipe left on her when all of a sudden I found myself swiping right on her for some reason. And it was right about then when I received a notification saying that she swiped right on me herself too. I found myself wanting to give her a chance for some reason to see what she has in store for me, well, before I eventually dispose of her.

There's a conceded smirk that forms on my lips, there's just something about this situation that makes me feel a little excited. Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me or something, there's no reason for me to feel all this. I start typing a message to her and I send it feeling confident about my chances of scoring a date - is this how online dating works, sending a text message when you swipe right asking to go out...? Eh, whatever what's the worst that could happen. My phone buzzes and the notification shows up on my phone screen. I start to chuckle in amusement as I pull up the text message as it shows all signs of her willing to go on a date, that is, until I read continue reading the rest of the text message. "Sorry, just to make sure this isn't some psychopath, right...?" What...? Is she asking me that question or is it just a part that she sent by mistake? The text message starts to echo in my head, was the message I sent to her seem like I was one?

I lay in my bed and stare at my ceiling, pondering about the question I was just asked. Never have I ever been asked by someone if I was a psychopath, I mean does it make sense for a guy as handsome as myself to be one? I let out a sigh, "I'm not sure how to approach this situation and whether it's even worth it to approach." I continue to stare at my ceiling for some time before I make the decision to just go for it. I pull up my phone and start typing a message back to her, "ahaha. That was a funny one, Y/N." Psychopath, more like a celebrity - like couldn't she have asked if I was a celebrity that would make ten times more sense. And then I send another text, "Would you happen to want to meet up and grab a coffee, maybe some dinner?" I crack my knuckles and wait for her to reply back. I should do something to past the time, possibly get something to eat from the nearest convenience store.

I put my sunglasses on, what can I say the sun really annoys the heck out of me it's an absolute beach (insert overused clip of Jimin saying, 'beach'). I leave my apartment (hint, hint, it's not the neighbor) and head to the convenience store just a few blocks away from my place.

---

I'm greeted by a middle-aged man working when I first enter the place, god, the heavenly smell of the food here never gets old. Noodles, noodles, noodles. When glancing around at the shelves in this section all I'm met with are all instant noodles, I'd love to eat some but I don't think it's such a great idea to. But then again it's not good to eat anything in this place anyway, so why not. I grab a few cup noodles and some snacks before heading to the cash out section. There's a girl that's in front that seems eerily familiar but for some reason I can't place my finger on who she is. It's probably just my imagination. I'm walking back to my apartment when I get a notification, I feel myself in a complete frenzy while reading it,  "I'd like that." I feel the smile already forming on my lips. Let's dance shall we, Y/N.
