Jimin's POV:

The month of October had passed in a blur. Between school, home, hanging out with Taehyung, and dance classes time seemed to just fly by.

Taehyung and I's friendship... where do I even begin to explain our friendship?

Times I had spent with him were the times most significant in my days. We didn't do much except for going out to eat after my classes ended or going on rides with no destination on his motorcycle during the weekends.

Even my friends had remarqued that I was growing distant. I didn't think that that was the case, I just had other activities to attend to.

I don't know when exactly it started, but I stared growing impatient towards the end of classes just so we could go and do whatever. I began looking at him for a heartbeat longer whenever he laughed. I got bummed out when I didn't see his motorcycle parked outside of my school waiting for me.

No one from my circle of friends knew where I disappeared for hours at a time without responding to any of their text messages or phone calls.

No one knew who the guy with the leather jacket on was. They didn't know where he came from-or maybe they suspected it but didn't think it possible from me to be around someone like that.

  'Someone like that', as if every moment spent with him, wasn't enough to make me anticipate the next time we would see each other.

I knew that we were friends, and I knew that we had created a strong bond over the short period of time that we had spent together, but that was it.

He never gave me the impression that he too looked at me longer than friends did, that his heart too beat even faster than it already was whenever my hands were wrapped around him or that he too was disappointed when he didn't get a chance to see me.

Maybe that's what we were, friends that shared a stronger bond than others tended to. I wasn't mad about it. A little disappointed maybe... but not mad. Having him at my side was enough already.

It was Halloween today.

I didn't care much for this day except that everyone threw huge parties for it and it brough people together as national or religious holidays did.

I had already mentioned the fact to Taehyung that the Halloween parade and countless parties at the pubs were not to be missed at Itaewon, and I wasn't going to let him miss on the experience.

The other thing about him was that he never took me around the area that he lived in. I didn't think much of it in the beginning, but now I know that he is purposely ignoring it.

I'm grateful for it, knowing that I couldn't wait to leave the moment I stepped foot in it for the first time. Although, another part of me wished to know what he knew. I knew that I had no right to it, but a small part of me couldn't help but yearn. Maybe it was just stupid thinking that that would bring me closer to him.
