Ice Cream

It was finally the day for which Jihoon asked me out for dinner. Neither him nor me consider it as so called date, but there stood a person who was hell bent on making me get ready for the outing.
She after fidgeting with some of the dressing materials, finally chose a cute shirt with a simple plaited shorts skirt and moved it towards my direction asking me to try it out.

I hesitated, assuming the length of the skirt but soon agreed as Mini send out a death glare. Not to mention, but the dress fit perfectly as I was not a chubby one. I took a last look before I went out leaving my cascade to fall down.

The restaurant which Jihoon mentioned earlier on the phone was somewhere near to our dorm so I decided to walk to the place.
The weather condition was not favourable as I looked up and saw the dark clouds prevailing all over the town. I guess I need to hurry up.

As I quickened my pace, I could feel the tiny drops striking the surface of my shirt and rolling down. After a moment when I closed my eyes and started to run, I felt a leather jacket hovering above my shoulders and a hand which held tightly onto my arms as they dragged me along with them.

Turning my head slightly to my right, I saw the same face from earlier but his hair all drenched and water droplets falling down his face as water in a river. Jihoon quickly smiled before gasping out "We are almost there, just hold on a bit."

I couldn't avoid myself from thinking how come this guy arrives whenever I was in trouble. It was the first time I really developed a soft side towards him and really wanted to thank him heartily.

We finally reached and Jihoon removed his jacket from my head. "Are you Okay? Not drenched much right?!" He asked placing his jacket on the side of the table. "Um..Jihoona, gomawo. Thanks for coming or I surely would have got a cold." I thanked him patting his shoulders.

"Seriously, You're gonna thank me for such a little thing. I can at least do it for my friend." He answered with a adorable smile on his face.
As we ordered some jjhajamyeon, fried kimchi and two chocolate icecreams, Jihoon insisted on paying and I accepted.
I kept on gushing over the food like a hungry wolf and merely forgot about the person sitting in front. I endeavoured the taste of the ice cream.

When I lifted my head to look at him our gazes met and he was staring blankly but a tiny smile formed later.
I reached out my hand and ruffled his hair, "Stop staring Idiot and eat!" He quickly lowered his gaze and just to my amazement he seemed so flustered and red. I should not have touched him. To reassure the topic I let out a strange laugh to which he had no effect. He looked up again and stared deeply into my eyes.

Now his gaze were strong yet unreadable. "You really like Jungkook, isn't it?" I mean you have never been with a guy before, right?!"
I nodded slightly still unaware of the reason why he asked such a question.

"Is he your first love, Jungkook?!" Jihoon asked with a shade of fear and possession in his eyes.
"First love..nothing so serious..I just-
"That means I still have a chance, right?"
I was cut off by his surprising confession and started to cough and laugh awkwardly "You really got me there, I didn't know you joke so well. Haha..ha..h."
I freezed for a moment when he didn't reply and soon his hand moved towards something.

Something which I realized but it was too late by then. I watched as his hands reached the side of my face and thumb caressing over my lips, smearing a layer of cream. I gently pushed his hand away and cleaned my mouth hurriedly still flustered at the boy's act.

I stared at him with shocked eyes, when he answered "Only joking Cutiepie! There was some irritating cream which I removed. It wasn't looking so nice on your cute lips."

I was at ease a little and thought maybe he did this to tease me and in a purpose to watch my reaction but my mind still revolved around the fact that how could he just touch someone's lips.

I shooted a glare at him and warned him not to do such strange things.
"Ohk Fine Mother I'll not do such things further, I promise in the name of our holy father." He said his head bowing . And I just couldn't hold back my laugh.

"Hm. That's like a good child-- Hey wait, did you just called me your mother!" I whined like a child to which he laughed making me giggle with him.

I reminded him to help me with tomorrow's dance choreography and
he nodded accordingly. I asked him if he too wanted to be an idol cause he had the potential in him, to which he replied that he wants to be like his brother whose a choreographer too.

We conversed for a while before I stood up and then I remembered "Hey Jihoon , you told you like someone! Tell me whose it?! I asked him with a mischievous grin.
"Oh that...
"Come on just say it, someone from our university, right?!
I observed as he avoided my looking at me. And finally spoke, "Well Yeah. I do but I'll tell you some other day. Just wait for it then."
"You're so boring. Ok I should go, and yeah you too cause we need good sleep to practice hard before the auditions."
"Oh Yes, Sure. We'll meet tomorrow cutiepie, Bye then!" He said in a teasing tone to which I rolled my eyes before leaving the restaurant. I looked back and saw him smiling brightly and I smiled back.
While walking back home I was again reminded of the incident with him and felt anxious at
You really like Jungkook, isn't it?
Is he your first love?
That means I still have a chance?
Oh those words. What has gotten into him then. And the next moment I erased the doubts as I assured myself that as he mentioned he was just joking and making fun of me to tease me and that I was just over thinking it.

I headed back to our dorms, dragging my feat lazily through the corriders as I collapsed on the bed. I thought of talking it out with Mini but soon changed my mind when I saw her practicing herself in front of the mirror. For some reason I felt enthusiastic and jumped on her making her gasp. "Oh you're back."
"Yes I am and why my buddy is practicing alone. Let me join you!"

A sweet smile appeared on her face and we begin our practice.
