Walking together side by side, it was the perfect romantic environment for any couple. But the clock was ticking and arriving late back at their dorm would bring more questions towards her. The girl with her pink cheeks broke the silence first. She stopped the boy by holding his arm and said

"It's getting late. We should leave Jin-shi".

"Jin-shi.?" The boy raised his eyebrow as if he was confused. Letting out a chuckle he continued "Isn't it very formal?"

"You call me joohyuna so then I should you...seokjinni?"

Hearing his name with such a personal tone made him feel weird but still good.

"Or Jinnie..?"

The boy still hasn't replied since he was so indulged in listening his name from her mouth.

"Seokjinni it is. It sounds cute" The girl said made the decision all by herself.

Thus a laughter broke out between them. They walked towards the exit and Irene was busy booking a cab for herself when she heard

"Let's go back together"

"HUH.?"

Though their dorms are not that far away from each other but still going back together can lead to an unfortunate situation.

Jin took her hands in his hands and said while looking straight into her eyes.

"We don't know when we'll be meeting again. I want to spend more time with you."

A little confession was enough to make her heartbeat go crazy. The feeling of warmth from his hands was something that even Irene didnt want to let go of.

"Okay"

The couple just sat in the cab with their hands interlocked

The couple just sat in the cab with their hands interlocked. The driver interupted the blushing competition which was happening between the two

"Even though your girlfriend's face in almost covered I could tell that she's really pretty."

The man laughed and continued "Lucky boy you are"

'Did he just say girlfriend..? Irene..? My girlfriend? Red Velvet Irene?'

Jin looked at her smilingly and replied to the driver "I Know"

Irene shifted her eyes from the boy and looked outside the window. Even though it was dark and half of her face is covered with a mask, Jin could still see how bright her eyes became after listening to his reply.

"But ahjushi, I'm way more handsome" The boy said raising his face higher.

Irene whi was still looking out of the window shifted her face towards him and rolled her eyes.

"Ahjushi you tell me. Who do you think is more beautiful?" She moved herself more towards the front.

The driver laughed and replied "The couple todays are even fighting on this. You want me to be the judge?"

Jin pulled her back and with his hands on her shoulders and whispered in her ears

"Do you want to take the mask off and have a visual battle here?"

Irene understood how excited she got over a little thing and replied to the driver.

"Hehe no no Ahjusshi we were just kidding"

The girl laid back again and the distance between them was completely vanished. They sat close with Jins right hand resting right on her shoulders.

"If we ever had a visual battle, I would definitely win" She scoffed to the boy in an extremely low voice.

This brought smile to the handsome face of his, finally he has someone who could reply back to his witty remarks.

One would expect a couple to be extremely romantic while sitting together at the back of the car. Being touchy, smiling crazily at each other, flirting or even just chatting throughout the journey is something which is very usual.

But after talking for a while Irene dozed off upon his shoulders. Jin looked at her with hearts in his eyes but soon realised how less of the time they have left together now.

"Ahjushi can you drive a little slow." He said in a low voice fearing that his voice will wake her up.

"The road is nearly empty." The driver replied with confusion in his voice.

"No I just don't want her to wake up. Please drive a little slower." Jin pleaded.

He didn't lie, Irene was getting disturbed with sudden changes in the speed. But the smart boy did not tell the whole truth about him wanting to spend more time with her.

He continued to look at her fondly, asking himself about whether this is reality or not.

Wow she is really sleeping on my shoulders. My shoulders.? And she agreed when the driver called her my girlfriend. Well even though she didn't agree vocally but she didn't disapprove either. So then it means she agreed right?

If excitement level in an person could be checked immediately then Jin's would have exceeded even the highest level.

RedVelvet Irene is my girlfriend. She is now sleeping on my shoulders. When and how did this even happen?

That's how unexpected life is. With her puking over him in front of thousands of people to now becoming his girlfriend, one would imagine that months have been passed but in reality it just been a few weeks.

After a while Irene woke up and saw herself leaning on the boy's shoulder. With her hands still in his warm embrace she realised that she is now in a relationship. Getting a boyfriend may be something very common for a girl but for her it was something that happened after more then a decade.

"Ahjushi stop the car" She rushed.

The sudden words from her surprised Jin as well as the driver.
