Secrets

5. Secrets Can Be Fun

"I don't know. You said yourself, he takes are of his members but hes not very expressive. So, what if he's just toying with you?"

"He's too smart to be toying with someone his stuck with until September. It's not even July yet."

I was using a messaging app to call my best friend back home. She was often uo far too late at night so she was quick to answer when I called.

"Well then maybe he likes you too."

"Why would he like me?!" I yelled, startling a child nearby.

Candy laughed as I apologized.

"Okay take a deep breath and turn your English back on. I don't speak Korean."

"My bad."

"I say you go out and see what happens."

"I'm just nervous. Why all the sudden?"

"No idea. Maybe he didn't know how you felt. But I gotta get some sleep. We can't all work flexible superstar schedules."

"Thanks, girlie. And one more thing. Don't breath a word to my mom. I don't really need all that."

"Deal. Let me know how it goes. Love ya!"

A few hours later I was standing outside of a nice restaurant in a black dress covered in little silver musical designs. Taking a deep calming breath I pushed the door open.

The hostess looked up. "Good evening. How many are in your party?"

"Um...actually I'm meeting someone. Min Yo-"

The hostess shushed me and smiled softly. "This must be your first date with an idol. Follow me."

Date?! Yes, it would be! But I don't know what's actually going on!

The hostess lead me through a door and down some stairs to a dinning area with low light and high backed booths. It was romantic and clearly designed to give diners extra privacy.

"Here you go." The hostess lead me to a table in the back corner. "You're server will be by in a few minutes. Mr. Min is here somewhere." She gave me a bright smile and headed back upstairs.

I bounced my knee under the table, quietly freaking out. Is this a date or not?! He could have told me upfront if it was a date. Did he think I'd say no if he asked me out?

"I like how your ears turn red when you're nervous." I looked up as Yoongi slid into his seat across from me. "It's kind of cute."

I smiled shyly, feeling the flush extend across my neck. "Um...I have a question. Is this supposed to be a date?"

Yoongi gave me a big gummy smile. "Are you just now catching on? It's been a bit difficult to get you to myself without the others catching on. You're like Taehyungie, making friends with everyone left and right."

I hadn't heard Yoongi talk as much as he had that day. It was weird, but I loved the sound of his voice.

"So you...you like me then?"

Yoongi touched my hand, making me look up at him. "I liked you since day one when you told us why you wanted to be a producer."

I was fairly positive I was going to be tomato red the rest of my life.

"And you're cute, which is just a plus."

I giggled. "Seriously? You should have told me sooner."

"I couldn't tell. Honestly, I figured you probably liked Namjoon or Hoseok. You're always messing with each other."

"I always wanted to be friends with you guys," I said softly. "I'll tell you a secret. I know I pretend didn't listen to you guys much before, but I've been following your career since your debut. BTS music resonates with me. It really pushed for me to focus on music. And I always crushed on you the most. So it was hard to be comfortable with you. I didn't want anyone to know I liked you."

"Can I be your secret still then?"

I gave him a confused look.

"I don't want them to move you somewhere else in the ccompany for your internship if they find out. I was going to try to ask you out at the end of summer, but I couldn't wait that long."

"You're so chatty tonight." I smiled at him. "Secrets can be fun. Just you and me. At least until the end of summer. You'll have to tell your members eventually. But...I'll be happy just knowing I have you."

"Don't think I'm ashamed. I just share so much with the guys. And I already have to share you with them."

I nodded. "It'll be fun."

The waitress chose that moment to return.

"You order. I like to try new food."

An hour and a half later, Yoongi was leading me into his car to take me home.

"Thanks for the ride. And for tonight."

Yoongi grabbed my hand before I could get out of the car. "One more thing, flirt." He grabbed my chin and pulled me closer. "No more pocky games. These are mine."

He pressed his lips to mine. His lips were soft and he smelled so sweet it made my head spin. He bit my lip, mading me gasp, and used that moment to explore my mouth with his tongue. I was gripping one of his biceps, trying to keep up with the pace of his kiss. He still held me tightly by my jaw, his other hand moved down to squeeze my thigh.

I'm not gonna say I'm proud of it, but I may have moaned agaist his lips. I also definatly whimpered when he pulled away.

"I couldn't let you go without a kiss."

"That wasn't a kiss," I whispered, trying to catch my breath. "I'm pretty sure you were either trying to eat me or trun me on."

"Or maybe it was both."

"I'm not going to survive dating you."

"Go to bed flirt. You have work in the morning."

He gave me a soft peck on the lips before getting out to open my door.

"Thanks."

"I'll see you tomorrow, flirt."

"See you tomorrow."
