“mama, you should eat.”

“it's okay. i'm okay. you should eat.”

“i'm okay, mama. i'm not that hungry. but i'm sure the baby is.”

“come on, eat up quickly. we have to hurry.”

“mama, you should be careful as we hurry.”

i woke up to another weird dream yet again.
their faces were all blurred but their voices were somehow distinct but i couldn't tell who they were.

i yawned as i rolled around on my bed to check the time on my cellphone.
today's my bestfriend date with taehyung.

9:45 am.

great. i still have 2 hours and 15 minutes to prep and make myself pretty enough to not be rejected by my crush.

as i was waiting for tae to pick me up almost two hours later, i asked mom if my face looks okay along with my outfit.
mom smiled at me endearingly.
“of course, eru. you got it from your own mother. the only thing is that you'll still get rejected.”

my eyes widened.
“mom!”

“i'm kidding. of course taehyung just won't reject you like that. in the first place, who in the right mind would reject someone in the matsuoka family? it's like saying directly in front of me that ‘you're daughter's as ugly as you’ kind of thing.” mom said that made me chuckle.

mom has a point though, not gonna lie.

i was about to say something when there came a knock on the door.
“looks like taehyung's here. get ready, eru.” she said as she stood up and walked towards the door. when she swung the door open, a handsome man greeted my mom and i.

“good morning, mrs. matsuoka. i would like to pick your daughter up for a movie and carnival date today.” taehyung smoothly asked that made my heart pound even more for him.

and mind you, his perfume is all over the place and i couldn't understand why. like, he just came and then his scent was everywhere.

“ah, don't just pick her up. sweep her off of her feet.” my mom said that made tae laugh.
no worries, the broom is ready even before taehyung came for me.

“is mr. matsuoka around?” tae asked.

“oh, no. he went early to work today.”

i walked up towards them and smiled at tae.
“let's go, tae.”

“so are you two dating now?” mom asked again and i whirled around to frown at her.

“mom!”

“i'm just making sure, eru. we don't want men who would lead you to the forest only to leave you alone and figure out your way back.” mom stated calmly.

“this is a friendly date, mom.” i answered before taehyung could even open his mouth.

“actually, it's something more than that.” taehyung said that made both my mother and i whirl around with wide eyes at him.

“sorry, what?” i muttered.

“it's actually a best friend date.”

i internally slapped my forehead a dozen times as needed. taehyung.
such a sweet, innocent, pure, and dense as fuck human being.

i smiled with all my might as ny heart ached a little bit on the inside.
“there. you have your answer, mom. we'll be going out now. i'll just text you when about to home. bye.” i said as i kissed her cheek and waved goodbye.

“take care, eru. oh and TAEHYUNG, you better bring eru home completely. no chopped arms whatsoever, okay? enjoy your date.” mom smiled at both of us.

“i promise, mrs. matsuoka. she'll be home complete and on time.” he gently replied and we both walked away.

as we were both walking, i could feel my heart beating loudly in my chest and i feel so giddy i just want to hug and smell taehyung then and there. he's just so dreamy, so handsome, so cute, and smells like a thousand flowers.
“tae, you smell so good today.”

he looked at me and half-smiled, half-laughed.
“oh, you mean my perfume?”

no. your own natural perfume plus your perfume, actually. can you please give me five minutes just so i could inhale all your scent and appreciate your existence?

“oh, yeah. right. your perfume. hehe.” i muttered under my breath before finally looking up at him.
“where are we going first?”

“we can walk to the movie theaters. i planned we watch two movies there.” he said as he checked his phone.

a blush crept up my face as i nudged a little bit closer towards him as we walked together.
“that's sounds good. any genre you want to particularly watch?”

“horror or thriller would be nice. but we'll go with what you prefer.”

“i'm okay with horror and those. you know i'm used to those kind.” i replied and laughed.

“but you didn't survive saw especially that part where the guy needed to pull the string out of the girl's throat to get the key—”

“AAAAAAHHH, STOP.” before he could finish his sentence, i cut him off. i hated that part and it really makes me shiver with disgust. i like gore movies, don't get me wrong, but that part—specifically that pulling-string— part in the movie saw, really makes me disgusted for some reason.

taehyung chuckled at my reaction and we just continued walking, chitchattint abou random movies and random genres.

this time, i'll make a move. taehyung better be in love with me now or all hell shall break lose.

author's note;

double update! yay!
altho i don't celebrate christmas, happy holidays to everyone! i hope y'all enjoyed my updates and today's holiday. ♡

by the way, please do read my other fanfic entitled: lethal throne. it isn't written like soul switch but more like a real novel. it's a really good read if you want something new to read. the first few chapters are quite long but i wrote shorter chapters on the next remaining chapters. it's still on-going and i don't really update there as frequently as i do here in soul switch since i plan out the chapters i write there carefully.

please do take time and give some love to that novel! ♡
i guarantee y'all that it's all fun and games in that novel.

thank you and i'll see y'all on my next update. bye bye.
