In the Spotlight

Yoongi ate heartily.

Aen's cooking was actually quite good, so he wondered why she was so convinced it wouldn't taste right.

"Does it taste good?"

"It does. So stop doubting yourself."

"Okay."

Just as he was about to finish, Aen looked at him as if she wanted to ask something but was hesitating.

"What's wrong?"

"Uhmm... can I ask you something?"

"Of course. What is it?"

"W-what are... we?"

Yoongi looked taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... are we dating or something? I know you said we should take things slow... so I just... want to know what we are."

Yoongi smiled, and Aen blushed hard.

"Yes. I did say we should take things slowly, but I'm not really subtle with my feelings. I thought you knew what we are by now?"

He gently held Aen's hands that were resting on the table, intertwining his fingers with hers.

"But I guessed wrong? I'm sorry for making you confused."

Aen shook her head.

"No. It's my fault. I'm just dumb."

"No. You're not."

"Yoon-"

"We're dating."

Aen shut her mouth instantly with his confession.

He reached across the table, his thumb tracing the back of her hand.

"I didn't think I needed to say it, but if you need the words to feel safe, then I'll say them as many times as you need. You're mine, Aen-ah. I did take you out on a date last night, after all."

"It was a date?!"

Aen looked shocked.

"Ohhh... did you not consider it a date?"

Yoongi scratched the back of his head with his free hand.

"Sorry. Maybe I should have brought you somewhere fancy..."

"No! It was great! You don't need to bring me to those fancy restaurants. We can just eat street food and I'll consider it a date!"

Aen blushed crimson.

"Is that so?"

"Y-yeah... I just... if I knew, I would have drunk less soju..."

"Well, at least you didn't pass out like last time."

"Yoon!"

Yoongi chuckled lightly.

"Okay, okay... I won't bring that up again."

"You're such a meanie, but... thanks."

"For what?"

"For taking care of me that time... and last night."
