Jiyeon

"Let's do what now?"

"Make the boys fall in love, then you can just pick one, it's easier that way." Jin kept up the smile on his face as if what he was saying was anything good.

"No, Jin, I don't think that's a good idea."

"Come on, if you were to fall in love first then it wouldn't be certain if the guys would love you back, but if they fall in love with you first then all you have to do is pick."

"But-"

Jin quickly grabbed my wrist showing me the number embedded in my skin. "Fifty-seven days may seem like a long time, but this fifty-seven would soon become a thirty-seven, then a twenty-seven, and quicker than you expect, a zero."

Somehow, jin's words hit me hard. I pulled my wrist away. "As long as no one gets hurt, okay?"

"Jiyeon." Jin's brows furrowed. "Love always hurts."

That was one thing I hated about love. Someone always seems to get hurt in the end.

"Just follow my lead and you'll be fine." He placed his hands on my shoulders. "Ready?"

"I'll try it out, for your sake."

Jin couldn't stop the smile from growing on his face. "Then we should go shopping soon, you already look beautiful, but you'd need something a little more... attractive." Ew, and why would I need to look more attractive? "How about it then?"

No! "Fine." The thoughts in my mind contradicted the words coming out my mouth. Somehow, I agreed to follow jin's lead. What more could I do?

Taehyung

I lounged on the couch. My apartment, which was now dark and empty, and was now also lonely. Everyone already left to go home and I was feeling bored out of my mind.

It was moments like this when I tend to miss home the most. There is nothing I want to more than to go back to Daegu. I miss my friends. I miss my parents. I miss my siblings. I miss my cousins. And I especially miss my grandmother.

Just as I neared the point of crying, there was a knock at the door. I rubbed at my teary eyes, hoping to get rid of the evidence of my sadness.

Jumping up from the couch, I shuffling over towards the door. I expected to see my uncle, but what I got was much better.

It was Jimin. He wore a black, large, coat with a matching beanie and hipster glasses. He was also holding a bag, it most likely held food within it.

I didn't hesitate to open the door. "Jimin?"

"Taehyung." Jimin smiled. "Can I come in, it's pretty cold out here?"

"Oh, yeah, of course." I opened the door wider, inviting the older in.

He, like everyone else, looked around in awe at the place. "Wow, this is nice." He looked back at me with a smile. "I'm starting to think you're rich, you did come to school wearing Gucci once."

Just as he said that we both looked down. Our gazes were on my socks. "Are those Gucci socks?" Jimin questioned.

"Ah, yeah." I nervously scratched the back of my head. "Um, anyway, how'd you get here? I never sent you my address?"

"I'm one dedicated friend. I stalked you on the Snapchat map." He chuckled uncomfortably. "You live pretty far from the school, I didn't expect the walk to be that long."

"Walk!?" One thing I new was that I live incredibly far from school. If you drive it's only eighteen minutes, but if you walk it's two hours.

"Don't worry, I was already in the area, you live pretty close to SOPA, it only took a little over ten minutes to get here." That's a relief. "Also." He placed the plastic back on the counter. "I bought you churros."
