"So are you and Jimin dating now?" My mum asks making me blush.
"What?! No! Why would you ask that?" I say shocked and stop doing my homework.
My mother's mouth curls up into an amused smile as she continues to snip off the ends of flowers so they fit into a vase. "You and Jimin always spend so much time around each other, even when you were young. I was just wondering at what point you'd confess your feelings."
"There are no feelings! Jeez, don't say stuff like that." I say and look back at the paper in front of me but can't focus on the words.
"You teenagers are so silly, always dancing around being so careful that the other doesn't know you have a crush on each other." She stacks the flowers together and admires them. "You obviously like him and he-"
"Mum please stop," I say quickly cutting her off. She raises her eyebrows at me. "Sorry." I apologize. She starts to fit the bunch of peony flowers into the glass.
"He's so polite and kind. He's always helped you with your school work, walked you home. If you don't eventually marry I do hope you stay close friends." She says and I lose grip on my pencil making it fall to the floor.
"Marry?! I'm 16, stop!" I say and she chuckles.
"You're too sensitive Isabell." She finally sets the vase by the window then turns to me. I fetch my pencil and sit at the dining table again. "I'll stop bothering you about it and let you finish your work." She goes to leave the room.
"Uh, mum?" I say caching her attention. "Do you really think Jimin likes me?" I ask quietly. "Yunno, in the boyfriend-girlfriend kind of way," I ask and she grins.
"Without a doubt, now stop talking about your love life when you have work to do." She fakes a serious expression then walks out amused with herself.
*Time Skip*
I poke through my locker trying to see if my eraser fell out of my pencil case in here.
"Cute photo Izzy." Julia, my best friend, says gripping onto my shoulders. I jump at the unexpected contact.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Jimin posted a selfie of you both on Instagram, you look like a couple in it." She smiles then lifts up her phone to show a picture of Jimin and I.

"I didn't realize he posted it," I say and carry on digging through my locker.
"So did you take this on one of your study dates?" She muses.
"Well we were studying but I don't know what you mean by 'date'" I sigh and give up on finding it and close my locker.
"Something wrong?" Jimin asking appearing out of nowhere. My eyes slightly widen and I look to Julia who is smiling as she backs away from us both.
