— twenty-three ;

The next day, Yoongi doesn't dare show up at the trio's apartment the whole time. He doesn't even contact Jimin and instead turned his phone off in case the younger would call. Yoongi's way too nervous about the whole "date" he and Jimin would be having tonight.

Yoongi's never really gone out with someone he liked before, maybe because he has never liked someone as much as he likes Jimin. He sometimes wonders if he's already in love, but that can't be it. Yoongi doesn't fall in love; especially with someone whom he hasn't even known for a year yet.

But here he is now, a trembling mess.

Night time came and an hour is left until he has to go to the cinemas and meet up with Jimin.

Yoongi even bought new clothes for this whole thing and had his hair styled by Namjoon; who ultimately fails at it so he goes to a salon and gets it fixed. The best thing? His hair is dyed back to his natural hair color, black, yesterday. Now, he definitely looks hotter. He just wishes Jimin would see that too and not just some hyung he met online.

Sighing, he checks his wrist watch and sees that he only has 30 minutes left to prepare. He stands up from his bed and goes to the kitchen to check on something, a box of strawberries with chocolate dipping on the side. He especially made the dip, because well the best kind of food is made with love.

He grabs a white card and writes something on it. He ends the small letter with a "with love, yoongi-hyung (:".

Yoongi mentally cringes because he isn't the type to be so sweet and romantic towards someone. But he's giving it to Jimin, so he had no choice. He had to impress the younger somehow, despite his chances with him being 5% only.

After settling the simple but adorable gift, he goes back to his room and grabs his phone. He turns it on and once the lockscreen shows up, he's surprised he hasn't received any calls from Jimin.

"Weird." Yoongi mutters to himself, but shrugs it off and tucks his phone inside his pocket. He takes one last look at himself in the mirror, eyeing his well-groomed self before finally leaving the room and the apartment with the gift in hand.

He makes sure to lock his door securely. Turning around, there he bumps into Namjoon. "Oh, leaving already? I was just about to get my jacket since I left it inside your room."

"Here, take my keys," Yoongi says, hurriedly lending the keys to Namjoon who takes them confusingly. "Make sure to lock the doors and please don't break anything this time." he pleads.

"Can't believe you're giving me the authority to be in your house, hyung." Namjoon says in amusement.

"It's whatever. Bye now, I'm running late for my date!" Yoongi exclaims, dashing off like a mad child and Namjoon could only laugh, shaking his head.

"He's so cute."

Yoongi is out of breath by the time he finally arrives at the cinemas. He's 5 minutes late, but Jimin is still nowhere in sight. This made Yoongi feel a bit nervous again. Jimin couldn't be late, he was the one who initiated this plan.

He's about to call Jimin when he suddenly spots a mop of black hair resembling his. A smile curves on Yoongi's small face as he confidently walks towards the other male who has his back faced.

Yoongi sneakily rests his chin against Jimin's shoulder and takes in his scent; strawberry. "Jiminie~" he coos and it startled the shit out of the younger.

Jimin reacts rather aggressively and almost hits Yoongi on the jaw. He looks at Yoongi as if he just saw a ghost. "Woah."

Yoongi smiles proudly. "Like what you see? Hyung dyed it just for you. Actually no, my scalp was beginning to hurt so I dyed it black so I'll have no problem when the color starts fading out."

"Well, you look great, hyung. It suits you a lot." Jimin compliments, smiling slightly.

Yoongi feels himself blush because yes, he scored a point. "Any ways, should we go on to the movies?" he says excitedly. He hasn't given the gift yet, since he has it behind his back. Jimin didn't even notice a single bit.

But Jimin's response shocks Yoongi.

"Huh?"

A simple but hurtful reply.

Yoongi tries to brush it off with a slight smile. Why does he smile so much lately? "Movies... our date?... You said we'd go together." Yoongi says, feeling more and more confused.

That's when realization hits Jimin and he finally remembers. "Ah, shit, right."

"What do you mean "shit"? Did you forget?" Yoongi asks, despite the answer being already as clear as water.

Jimin nods apologetically. "Y-Yeah."

Yoongi sighs, rubbing his freshly dyed hair. "I even prepared so much for this.." he mutters. "But that's okay. We can still continue, right? I mean, the movie probably hasn't started yet. So let's go."

He grabs Jimin by the wrist and tried to pull him, but the younger resists.

"What's the matter?" Yoongi furrows his eyebrow's behavior.

"Hyung, please don't get mad."

Yoongi removes his hands off Jimin. "Be mad about what? What did you do?"

Jimin takes a deep breath and reveals everything to Yoongi, leaving the older a broken, embarrassed mess.
