school ended and seulgi drove me home instead of jimin, who pressed a short kiss on my lips before saying goodbye. "i'm coming inside." she says and i hum as i let her in my house.
"you excited for tonight?" seulgi asks, and i nod. "definitely." i say. "but i'm definitely nervous. i don't have any clue what we're gonna be doing or what jimin even has planned." i say, fidgeting with my fingers.
"why don't you go make yourself look pretty for him? take all the time you need girlie. i'll be here." seulgi says, lounging on my bed. i hum and take my towel and my speaker before going to my personal bathroom.
"i'll pick your clothes for you!" seulgi says and i shout an okay before hearing her raid my closet and my drawers. a random song plays as i shower. i deduce many different things jimin would do as i washed my hair.
"star gazing? another date to the cafe? god, park jimin you're so unpredictable." i say as i wash the shampoo from my hair. "you almost done in there? i got your clothes picked out for you!" seulgi calls.

we pull up to jimin's house after i procrastinated a little bit on my hair. "i swear kang seulgi, if you and jimin are planning on kidnapping me..." i start. "calm down jae, i'm just the chauffer. c'mon, jimin's waiting for you inside." seulgi says and we get out.
i get to the door and one of jimin's friends, taehyung opens it. "jae eun! glad you could make it!" he said, letting us inside. i smiled nervously and walked into jimin's house.
it looked like a small party. mark and taeyong were here, along with yoongi and hoseok. taehyung, of course was there and he was with his girlfriend jihye who i'd remembered was jimin's cousin.
"good! now that everyone's here, jimin!" taehyung called out and jimin walked out, fumbling with something in his hands. he smiled at me once his eyes met mine. "you look..." he started. "plain, i know." i say.
"you're still pretty in my eyes." he says and i playfully shove him away. "c'mon park, don't do this now." i say teasingly. "okay, how about we play spin the bottle?" taehyung suggests.
"clichè and stereotypical but okay." i mumble to myself. we seat ourselves into a somewhat circle and a glass ginger ale bottle is placed in the middle of us. "alright, jae eun, if it lands on you, you have to open it." taehyung says.
i grew confused. "and anyone else it lands on, you have to pass it to jae eun or else." seulgi says, and i raise an eyebrow in confusion. everyone nods in agreement. "alright, jimin. you spin first." taehyung says.
jimin takes the neck of the bottle and spins it. i get a feeling of both nostalgia and deja vu, like i've experienced this at some point. before i could look too deep into it, jihye is calling my name. "jae eun, here." she hands me the bottle.
huh... it must've landed on her i guess. i unscrew the cap and there's a piece of paper, rolled up like a message from a person stranded on an island calling for help. my eyes narrow at jimin and i opened the paper.
my heart warmed at the sweet words that were written inside. everyone looked at me with expectant eyes, as if waiting for my response. "park jimin, you are the cheesiest idiot i've ever been with." i say with a chuckle.
"s-so you forgive me?" he asks, leaning forward in his seat right in front of me. "you've had my heart since day one, dork." i say playfully and jimin launches up and pulls me up into a kiss.
"but i'm your dork." he mumbles against my lips, as i hear the others groan or cheer. "i love you." i mutter. "i know." jimin whispers back.
"finally." yoongi says. "at the rate this was going at, you two wouldn't have told each other how you honestly felt until graduation." he says playfully. "shush yoongi. they're having a moment." hoseok scolded.
mark stood next to taeyong and seulgi. he could feel his heart tear in two. no tears came out, he didn't want to cause a scene. instead, he watched as the girl of his dreams smiled in another boy's arms.
he only wished this could've gone in a different direction, with her being in his arms instead.
