"Eight tickets for 'Midnight in Paris' please." Namjoon asked the cashier at the ticket booth.

"Here you go, room 3." The lady said with a broad smile across her face.

"C'mon let's go." Namjoon said as he started walking to the screening room.

All of us followed except Taehyung. I look behind to see him browsing the snack counter.

"Taehyung?" I ask and walk over to him. "Taehyung, let's go." No reply. "Taehyung? Are you hungry? What do you want to get?"

He turns his body to face me and suddenly pinches my cheek again.

"Yah!"

It reminds me of tge situation in the car. I then realise he was serious about me calling him 'oppa' and i feel my cheeks burn as I look around and see other people walking around us.

"They won't care." He says as he reads my mind and lets go of my cheek.

He starts walking past me with a sad look on his face.

"O-...Oppa!" I say loudly and grab his arm, pulling his backwards. Some people look at us. "I want this!" I say as I point at the caramel popcorn. When he doesn't answer, I look up at him. His eyes are staring at me wide and his eyebrows are raised, along with his slightly stained pink cheeks.

"I like sweet things. Will you buy it for me, Oppa? We can share." And i feel my heart beat loudly in my chest. Saying 'Oppa' made me feel a little uncomfortable because I never use the word. I generally don't show much flirtatious affection to guys, but somehow when it comes to Taehyung, I don't mind the feeling.

A smile grows on his face. "Sure, Jagi" He laughs and I cover my mouth with my hands while I gasp.

"J-jagi?" I whisper. He nods. My cheeks burn up and my heart races.

"One large caramel popcorn and two sodas please." He orders for us.

He takes the food in his hands and we make our way to room 3. We spot the other six boys sitting in the middle row and talking with one another. I start to walk towards them but Taehyung takes my hand. I look back at him, he lets go of my hand and puts his finger on his lips.

"Sshh... follow me." He says quietly. He leads me to the couple seats at the top row and signals for me to sit down. I hesitate for a second, but do as he says anyway, feeling nervous.

"Why are we sitting here?" I whisper.

"Why I wonder." He quietly laughs. I feel my heart rate pickong up.

The movie begins and we're totally indulged. I take a sip of my soda and place it in the cup holder between us. I then reach my hand into the bucket for some caramel corn, but before I get to pull the popcorn out,  Taehyung's hand grabs mine. He looks at it a little surprised, but shrugs, pulls my hand to his mouth and eats the popcorn out between my fingers.

"Hey! Thats my popcorn!" I scold him.

"Yah, Jagi, don't get mad." He grabs some popcorn in his hand again and puts it to my lips. "Here, eat." My heart races again.

Once again I hesitate, but open my mouth and bite the popcorn as he said.

"Ouch!" He pulls his hand back.

"Are you okay? Did I bite your finger?" I ask.

"Ah... I think I'm bleeding. Ah it hurts." He whispers while grabbing his finger tightly.

"Let me see." I pull his hands in mine. "Taehyung-oppa, let me see." I pull his hands open and see his finger is all alright. I look up and our foreheads are so close, they touch. He cheekily smiles and I raise my hand to his face. I create a space between our heads and flick his forehead with one hand and raise my other hand, with popcorn in it, and push it to his mouth.
