"I'm Kim Haein, Jimin's girlfriend."

...What a surprise.

Really.

Why the thought of him having a girlfriend never crossed my mind?

Because he was too carefree around me? Or because I had wish he's still single.. for me to take? It was too late, for the latter.

Park Jimin is taken, by a very beautiful girl.

A sudden laugh cracked and filled in the silence. I was once again taken aback by her. She shook her head then softly tapped my shoulder.

"I was just kidding," she stated then chuckled.

"I am his classmate and currently we are working on this one project. I'm here to discuss the matter with him." she said and smiled to Jin who came with her chocolate espresso.

"I almost dropped your drink," Jin confessed, causing Haein to laugh again while I just watched her.

I didn't think she was joking earlier.

She was dead serious.

It seemed she is interested in Jimin too.

However, I should gather my thoughts first. Jimin was getting busier as his new semester started and Haein was here to discuss with him regarding their project.

Alec Benjamin's album can wait. I'll give it to him another time.

"I have something to do too. I'll get going now." I told them as I jumped down from my seat. "Nice to meet you Haein unnie," I smiled to her and she smiled back while waving her hand.

"See you, Jin." and lastly I bid goodbye to the hot barista.

"She called you by your name?" as I walked away, I can hear she asked Jin in disbelief.

"She's a cute little sister so I let it pass," was Jin response.

When I opened the door, I heard her begging for his permission to call him by his name and started doing aegyo to be considered cute.

I smiled. Haein unnie.. is not bad. She suits to be his girlfriend than I do.

. . .

     The next day is Friday.

Tomorrow is Saturday so my friends are so excited about their weekend activities. They have been sharing their plan with me and the others as we walked to the school gate, but I haven't paid any attention to them.

I was wondering, if yesterday was going well for Jimin and Haein. Did they manage to settle half of their project? Did Jimin's ears turned red like Jin's? Did they... have a good time together?

"Oh my god. Look! Who is that hot guy??"

Suddenly their attention from weekend's planning talk to a guy's. Yet, the topic wasn't attractive enough for me. In my mind, beside Jin, Jimin is the second hot guy... Or was he the first?

"He's a rider! That's cool!"

Okay, that one was an interesting topic. Who else beside Jimin ride a bike around here? I wanted to see, if the guy my friends talked about was riding a sport bike, like Jimin.

"Holy-" and I was surprised he has the same type of motorbike like Jimin's.

Of course he is, because he is Park Jimin!!

"I know right?" my friend nudged my arm. "And oh.. He is looking in our direction!" she added with an excited squeal.

What is he doing here in front of my school?

That one, I have to ask him. But first, I need to get away from my friends and other students. As much as I want to casually walked to his bike like always, I don't like being the center of attention.

"We have to go now or we'll miss our bus." I remind them.

"Well.. I don't mind as long as I get to see him longer and find out the lucky girl." one of my friend said dreamily and the other nodded eagerly.

I should try harder before Jimin himself came to me first.

"Maybe he's here to pick up his brother or sister.. and didn't you girls said you have plan tonight?"

"Oh yes!"

"Oh right!"

"Ahh to bad!!"

Were their response before they ran together to a bus stop in front of our school. As soon as they got on, the bus moved.

Okay, now I have to get away from the other students. I avoided Jimin's curious eyes when he sees me taking another way instead of approaching him. I managed to gesture my head to a direction so that he'll understand and follow me. I didn't check if he followed because I know he will, if he wishes to see me.

A sound of bike's streaming engine was heard following me from behind not long after. I stopped walking at a corner and waited for him to arrive.

Jimin slowed down when he was right beside me, and I turned around to ask him why was he here. We have never meet on other days beside Mondays and Thursdays. The KyoChon's and Christmas day were an exception though, because it was one time in last year.

"Wha-"

"Hop on."

We spoke at the same time.

"Huh?" this guy.. is still spontaneous like always.

Without talking, he put a helmet on my head and helped me wearing it then he pulled my arm to near the empty seat behind him.

He wants to give me a ride?

I got on as he asked and as soon as I sat, he grabbed both my hands and wrapped it around his waist.

I blushed so hard at that. I wanted to pull away but it was too late. He stormed away right after attacking my heart.

"Where are we going?" I had to ask loudly against the helmet that cover my whole head except my eyes, letting it have a struggle battle over the strong wind that hit them.

"Somewhere, with only us." said Jimin before one of his hand skillfully let go the handle to pull down my helmet cover, rescuing my eyes.

Oh. That was the function.

Do not bash me. It was my first time riding a bike. I didn't know anything except the fact that Park Jimin was the rider.
