"I just want you to be happy. I want to make you happy." I looked up again only to meet his eyes. They were so clear and honest. I knew he meant every word he said amd my heart began to do flips. All i could do was nod. He smiled and started the car. "First stop on operation date here we come!" I smiled not knowing exactly what i was in for......
As we drove down the road Hobie was all smiles and i became all nerves. I had never been on a date before. Its not that i didnt have the opportunity. I had just been so focused on school and work. I never paid any attention to any other guys besides BTS. That just made me sound semi pathetic but at the same time it kind of worked out for me because i was totally single when i met jimin. I glanced over at Hobie. Even though he was all smiles, he was quiet which was not like him at all. "Sooo where are we going?" I asked trying to get him to talk. He glanced back at me. "Its a surprise!" He grinned. "Well can i get hints?" He thought for a moment before shutting the idea down. "Nope!" He said enjoying my complete lack of knowledge. "I have managed to keep this from you for a week! Thats the longest i have kept a secret from you. Now you have to wait." He said bouncing in the drivers seat. "Hooobbbiiieee" i whinned before his words sunk in. "Wait....a week?! How did you know jimin wouldn't let me dance, or that he had promised a date if i learned it?" I asked. Did he know more?! I felt panicked. What would jimin do if he knew Hobie knew??? Would he leave?! "I didn't know" hobie chuckled. "I was going to ask you after you learned it anyway" he shrugged as if it was no big deal. "I felt bad about chugging your water so i was bringing you a new one when i overhead you mention a date if you learned." "What else did you hear?" I asked quizzically as i mentally review the conversation to see if our dating secret had been revealed. "Honestly nothing" i heard him start to turn you down with every excuse in the book and i stopped listening and started planning my move." "You dont think you surprised him by suddenly asking me out?" I asked thinking of how my poor boyfriend must be so blind sided right now. "Not really. I had been dropping hints to him all week" "really?!" I asked surprised by his boldness and honest. Curiosity was eating away at me. "How did you hint exactly?" I asked. Hobie laughed scratching the back of his head. "Well actually it was more telling everyone straight up that i wanted to take you out on a date amd less hinting." "You told them you wanted to take me out?! Everyone?!" "Yup!" He laughed. "What did they say?" I asked. I felt completely blindsided. Jimin knew this was going to happen and didnt tell me?! "Well they were all pretty supportive. Jimin even told me to go for it if i thought i had a shot!" He said side eyeing me. What was that supposed to mean? Did it mean that Jimin didnt think hobie had a shot because he knew i was his? That was the only logical explanation i could think of. I chewed my lip and looked ahead at the road. Hobie reached over and took my hand giving it a quick squeeze before letting it go. "What was that for?" I asked. "Youre chewing your lip. Dont worry. Youre in good hands. Or dont you trusy me?" I smiled humorlessly. How could he read me so well amd know every single one of my habits when i didnt even realize them. "Are you sure we arent lost?" I asked changing the subject. I didnt recognize the roads at all and we definitely werent in seoul anymore. The land was definitely getting more and more rural. "I definitely know the way to.....you almost got me." He laughed. I smiled. I was so close. Another 20 minutes of driving passed when our silence was broken. "Are you hungry?" He asked. I thought for a minute. I hadnt eaten since breakfast before dance practice. I was starving. "Actually i am pretty hungry!" "Great! Hope you like seafood!" He said as we pulled up to a beautiful beach.
