Only For You • Kim Mingyu

                     A day with Josh

Miyeon's POV:

"Yeonyeon let's hang out today." Xinxin said packing her stuff as school time was over. "No I can't. I promised Joshua that I would hang out with him today." I replied. "Is it a date?" She teasingly wiggled her eyebrows. Jesus she couldn't think THAT. Heck no."Of course not." I rolled my eyes, making my way out of the classroom.

"Okay have fun bye" she waved at me as I was heading to the school gate. I thought I was early but I was actually late. Joshua was already there leaning against the car door patiently, one hand slided inside his pocket, another supporting the backpack on his right shoulder. He flashed a smile as soon as he saw me. I only waved my hand awkwardly. He opened the car door for me, treating me like I'm some kind of a princess.

Such a gentleman.

Then he got inside and started driving after we buckled up our seatbelts. He suddenly stopped his car in front of a flower shop, "Wait here. I'll be back within a moment." I sat patiently waiting for him, half dumbfounded.

He was back with a flower bouquet.

He offered it to me, "Here, it's for you. I'll be very happy if you accept it." I gladly accepted it. How couldn't I? It was so pretty. His lips slowly quivered into a victorious grin. Not sure why.

The way he looked at me was so appealing.

The flowers smelled really fresh like they had been plucked off the garden just now, "It's so pretty. Thanks Josh." I said admiring his unexpected gift.

"You're welcome. But you are prettier than those flowers." He said with his killer eye smile, the corners of his eyes crinking up.

His eyes were like deer eyes. So beautiful.

I shifted my gaze as I was blushing lightly at the sudden flattering compliment. He sure knew how to impress people; either by looks or his speaking manners.

"This isn't a date is it?" I asked out of blatant interest. "It'd be perfect for me if you consider it as a friendly date." He smiled shyly, his hands rubbing the back of his neck.

Smooth Jisoo.

He started driving after I replied with a short okay. "Let's go to the mall first." He stated, gaze latched to the road. I only hummed in response. "Say, why don't you address Jeonghan as oppa anymore? He once told me that he was dying to hear it again from you."

"I really don't know. We didn't contact each other that much when I was in USA. So I lost the hang of it. Moreover, it somehow sounds clingy to me now." I vaguely raised my shoulders. "It's understandable since you lived in USA." He nodded in agreement.

"Thanks for understanding." I expressed with gratitude since most of the people found it unconvincing that I don't address the older boys as oppa.

I checked my phone. My jaw dropped, leaving my mouth hung open as I saw aleast 57 messages and 23 missed calls from Jeonghan asking where I'm, why I'm not home yet bla bla bla. My phone was on slient mode so I didn't notice it. Like seriously, I'm dazzled by his endless patience.

Text message:

Me: I'm out with Joshua. Don't worry.

Jeong-idiot: You scared the hell out of me. I thought someone kidnapped my little Mimi :')

Me: I ain't weedy like you who'd faint just by a slap.

Jeong-idiot: Tsk You wish. I'm stronger now.

Me: Okay I'll test it when I return home.

Jeong-idiot: Spare me angel. I don't want to break my body parts and end up in the hospital bed later.

Jeong-idiot: It looks like you are getting more comfortable with Joshua than me:( Anyways have fun! Be home before 5pm.

Me: Stop spitting nonsense. I'm definitely more comfortable with my brother rather than his friend. Bye.

I turned my phone off and focused on the view outside the window. It was an unadorned view yet it was satisfying to my eyes.

We visited many different stores after reaching the mall. I bought some t shirts and jackets for upcoming winter. I was always behind him since I couldn't keep up with his undying stamina. I bet he drank something like energy drink before coming here.

Actually I felt like a 90 years old grandma beside him.

Joshua bought 2 pairs of Gucci shoes. Yes rich I know.

My eyes landed on a Koala stuff toy as we were passing by a toy store. It was like me. Always sleepy. I wanted to buy it but I had already bought alot of stuffs today. "You like that? Wait right here." He disappeared within a blink of an eye. Next thing I knew, he had bought it and handed it over to me.

"You really didn't need to buy that for me you know." I shoke my head but he didn't give a shit to my denial. "I did it because I wanted to. Let's go for some ice cream.LESSGOOOO." Just like that, I was easily persuaded by this oddly handsome church boy to go to the nearest ice cream parlour.

I was having a hard time choosing between so many flavours. Meanwhile Joshua ordered it right away without any hesitation. He ordered blueberry for himself. I ended up ordering black forest.

(A/n: You guys can add up the 'A 100 years later' sound effect lmao)

I took out my wallet but he insisted to pay. "Why are you paying for everything?" I asked sternly, shooting a glare as I arched an eyebrow. I didn't wanna feel like I was being indebted to someone, he was on the verge of making me feel like that. "I'm the one who asked you out. So it's my treat." He replied with a melodic tone while paying with his card. "Okay but you have to let me pay on our next hangout." I crossed my hands over my chest, trying my best to make it look like a promise rather than a simple statement.

A sudden thought hit my mind.

Will there be a next time?

I was zoning out but then the cashier handed us our ice creams along with the bill. We were enjoying our ice cream while ambling along the quiet streets."Oh, you've a little ice cream here." He bent down to my height and wiped it off from my upper lips using his thumb. My face heated up due to his unpredictable action. I tossed my head to the other direction so that he wouldn't see my flushed face.

"Did you just blush right now?" He was staring at me with his graceful eyes. Don't make me nervous Hong Jisoo that's illegal. "N-no. I d-didn't." Stupid Miyeon why are you stuttering?

I mentally facepalmed.

"You're so cute." He pinched my cheeks, giggling. Okay. Now I blushed even more. I might be a girl with preternatural abilities but blushing at such trifling things was something that I couldn't control nor understand.

You're not allowed to do that to me Hong Jisoo.

"Let's go home now Yeonnie it's getting late." He leaded us to his car. "What's with the sudden nickname?" I asked, pretending to be confused. "Jeonghan calls you Mimi. So I thought of calling you Yeonnie. It's cute. May I?" It didn't sound that bad so I gave in the permission.

The ride back to home was quiet. It wasn't awkward. Just a pleasing and comfortable silence. "Thank you for today. I had fun." I said, advancing with a genuine smile as we reached home. "My pleasure. Smile more from now on. You look more beautiful when you smile." He said looking deep into my eyes, overwhelmed with earnestness. I nodded my head in reponse.

He cared so much about me. I wonder if he did that only to me or to everyone.
