You're in Danger

Chapter 16: What Is Love?

*Morgan POV*

The game was still going but I was getting bored. I only stayed because Taemin did. He seemed to notice I was bored and stood up to stretch.

"Everything ok?" I asked, standing up as well.

"I'm thinking we should do something more exciting. Just sitting here is kind of boring." He laughed nervously.

"Are you sure you don't wanna stay and watch your friends play?" Making sure he changed his mind on his own.

"It's not a real game anyway." He laughed and grabbed my hand.

"So what do you suggest we should do?" I asked, following him.

"Why don't I show you around the city?" He smiled. I nodded and we walked to his car. He opened the door for me to get in and closed the door. As he walked around, I looked out of the windshield.

I could still see the basketball court from where he was parked. The game was still going, but a lone figure was standing off to the side. Yoongi was just staring at us as Taemin got in the car. Does he have something against Taemin, or is he mad at me?

I shook off the thoughts as Taemin started the engine and we pulled out of the parking lot.

We had been driving for a couple minutes when he broke the silence.

"Seen anything you want to see here?" He asked. I looked around and saw a tall tower.

"What's that?" I asked, pointing to it.

"That's the Seoul Tower, I'm sure you'll love it." He smiled.

He turned on the radio and turned the volume down so we could still talk.

"So are you ready for the dance recital?" He asked.

"Yeah, I think it will be a lot of fun. I'm sure we'll do amazing." I smiled.

"I'm really happy you joined, I get to see you more often now. And I have a cute girl to look at now." He laughed.

"Oh shush." I lightly hit his arm.

"So how are your friends settling in? I haven't talked to them much outside of class." He asked.

"Good. Alyssa and Chanyeol have become a thing, same with Grace and Wonho." I explained.

"Chanyeol finally has a girl! He's the big jock here, so all the girls fawn over him. But he always politely declines them, Alyssa must be special. I don't know Wonho as well, but as long as I've known him he's preferred to focus on studies than relationships. Again, Grace must be special." He said.

"Well, what about you? Amber said she was surprised that you finally had a girl." I asked.

"I've known Amber for years, she was just poking fun at me." He laughed. "But like Wonho, I decided that my studies we're the most important thing so I hadn't looked for a relationship, but then." He trailed off.

"But then what?" I asked, turning the radio off.

"But then this foreign girl showed up at University. Her friend and my friend were hanging out, so I ended up talking to her. I realized that one girl was an exception to my decision." He blushed.

I smiled, blushing as well.

"And you? You don't talk about your past much." He asked.

"I grew up in a smaller town. My only friends were Alyssa and Grace. I just didn't see the need to settle down with any of the guys there. I needed a new environment, I needed to get out and see the world first." I said, hoping he wouldn't catch that most of what I had just said is a lie.

"So you're the small town girl that moved to the big city across the world. In search of something new, and maybe a boyfriend." He said.

"You got it." I laughed. We pulled into the parking lot for the tower and we parked. He helped me out of the car and we went inside.

I looked around in awe, the tower was so beautiful. The lights and all of the decorations were so beautiful.

"Like it?" He asked, putting his arm around me.

"I love it, it's so beautiful here!" I smiled.

"Come on, there's more to see." He lead me over to some of the stores. We found a coffee shop inside and I convinced him that he had to stop there. We got our drinks and continued to walk around.

"I've got one more surprise for you." We went up and an elevator and he covered my eyes, wanting it to be more of a surprise.

He lead me around so I didn't fall. Finally we stopped and he uncovered my eyes.
I opened them and I gasped at the sight. We were up in the observation deck and we were overlooking the whole city.

"What do you think?" He asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"It's beautiful. I knew Seoul was beautiful, but now I know how beautiful it really is." I smiled, looking down on the city.

"I'm glad you love it. The city is beautiful, but I think you look better." He said, hugging me from behind.

"That was cheesy." I laughed, laying my head back on his shoulder.

"But it's true!" He insisted. We laughed and continued to look over the city.
"We should come at night sometime, Seoul is even more beautiful at night."

"It's a date." I smiled.
He turned me around so I was facing him.

"It's a date." He repeated.
We stood there for what felt like forever, looking at the view and at each other.

My mind wondered back to Yoongi.
Being around him this morning felt different. He has annoyed me since I met him, but today I felt comfortable around him. Is it just because I've been around him more? It has to be. No way I like him, Grace get out of my head!

When she wants an answer, she will do whatever it takes to get it. Ever since she started asking me if I like Yoongi, I've started second guessing myself.

Yes he can be annoying, but he's like a sweet annoying.

I shook the thought away and focused back on Taemin.

Why can't this just be simple? Why is everything in my life so complicated?
