Weeks have passed, our debut date is getting nearer and my heart is growing bigger each time.

Despite our busy schedule, we still find a way to meet each other. He still manages to leave a box of milk by my locker with a note of encouragement and I would manage to send him food during breaks.

And I still have no idea what we are. I guess a relationship with no label? Or mutual understanding?

It doesn't matter anyway, I'm content with whatever we are right now.

"Mia!" A voice she's already familiar with catches her attention. "Here," he waves his hand as he gets out of the car.

I approach him with a sweet smile as he opens the passenger seat for me to enter.

"So, where are we going?" I ask once he starts the car.

"You'll see." I could see the excitement from his face. I view the buildings we go past with in awe. I've never really driven past the city at night, so seeing all the bright lights was overwhelming.

But I start to get nervous when the view goes back to normal street lights. I thought we would eat in the city? My feelings doesn't settle as we start driving up a mountain. I look at him nervously, but he only chuckles, placing his free hand on top of mine, calming me down.

"I never knew this place existed!" I say in astonishment. We head inside, sitting by the window, seeing the breathtaking view of the city of Seoul.

Soon after sweet romantic dinner, he drives back to a park near my dorm. He gets out of the car, so I follow him out.

"Let's go for a walk." I nod my head in response, looking down at my held purse as we slowly stroll around.

"I'm happy the night has perfectly gone with what I had planned so far. I wanted to say something important." I could hear him gulp, making me anxious.

"I know we don't often get to see each other as much anymore- well, physically, because you're in my mind all the time." I scoff, trying to hold my laugh in from his cheesiness. "Stop, I'm trying to be serious."

"Okay I'm sorry, continue."

"I'll keep it short. My feelings are growing each day, and I've come to really, really liking you," he pauses. I purse my lips, resisting the beam of smile I have in my mind. All of a sudden, he halts to face me, so I'm forced to look at him.

I curse in my head, seeing his ethereal face, I didn't want to smile like an idiot in front of him.

"I wanna make us, official." He states, making me choke out of nothing. I look at him, startled. But the sincerity in his eyes composes me.

"But Bang PD-nim, doesn't-"

"We don't have to make it public. Celebrities do it all the time, we can just continue like always. I just want to assure that you're mine."

"Pshh," I finally laugh, "well I feel the same way." I pout my lips, shy.

"So... does that mean...?"

I walk away, strolling on my own.

"I still don't know your answer." He catches up to me, grabbing my hand.

"Yes, Jimin. My answer is yes."

"Really?" He jumps, ecstatic before pulling me close to hug me tight.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe you're mine!" His energy is contagious as I grin into his chest.

The rest of the night was pretty much trying to pull myself together and not kill someone from my own excitement.
