Sitting on the table opposite to Ahn Eunwoo, Moon Jimin found herself sweating due to the nervousness brewing up within her, and the mere presence of Ahn Eunwoo was able to make her cheeks burn.
Whilst shyly staring at the table, Jimin questioned, "W-Was there anything you needed to talk about, Eunwoo?"
Both of them were currently inside one of the rooms into the restaurant, and as a plate full of spaghetti sat placed in front of them, neither of them made the effort to touch the food.
They barely held a conversation up until now, and Moon Jimin had no idea on how to begin a conversation without leaving a bad impression on Eunwoo.
"Nothing much, Jimin Noona. I just realised that I was really missing, and therefore, I decided to call you. Did I disturb you, Noona, by any chance?"
Moon Jimin shook her head and voiced out, "No, you did not."
Those words from Ahn Eunwoo gave Moon Jimin a rush of joy, and she was really antic.i.p.ating his words from today. She was somewhat expecting for him to confess to her. Thinking of that was enough to have her heart flutter.
"What about Chaeyoung? Did everything go perfectly the last time around? Would not she be uncomfortable with this situation?" Jimin questioned whilst a worried expression sat on her face, and both of her eyebrows were furrowed.
Ahn Eunwoo let out a sigh and confessed, "It is just that Chaeyoung and I are not meant to be together, Noona. You give me the feelings that she is unable to give to me; You give me b.u.t.terflies and make my heart flutter, Noona. You make me nervous and shy.
I always have had these sort of feelings for you, Noona, but I held myself back because, Noona, a part of me did not find it to be right. But now, Noona, I can not hold myself back anymore. I want to go after you now, Noona. Will you be accepting me?"
As much as Jimin wanted to shout out a yes, more than that, she was well aware that showing such enthusiasm could throw off Ahn Eunwoo. Therefore, raising her head, Jimin shyly stared at Eunwoo and seemed to be confused on the entire situation.
As innocence played on her face, she coughed to clear her throat, and she questioned, "W-What do you mean by that all of a sudden?"
Ahn Eunwoo"s bottom lips protruded forward, causing a pout to form upon his face, and finding how mesmerising Eunwoo seemed with even with pout on his face, Jimin found herself unable to tear her eyes away from that.
"Noona, did I make it awkward with that confession of mine? I am sorry, and I will just take my words back. I hope you can forget about it, and treat everything—"
Shaking her head, Moon Jimin interrupted Ahn Eunwoo and abruptly said, "I will be accepting you. I don"t have a problem with that, Eunwoo."
Hearing those words from Eunwoo made Jimin panic, and afraid that he will be taking back his confession, Jimin interrupted to accept without a second thought.
After saying that, nervousness took over Jimin, and as she was about to stare down at the table, Eunwoo extended his hand towards her. Holding her chin, he prevented her from staring down at the table.
Pretending to be as delicate as possible, Jimin slowly lifted her head up to stare at Ahn Eunwoo. The sight of Moon Jimin now would be able to tug at many men"s heartstrings.
"Jimin Noona, really!? That makes me so much happy! Noona, I was really restless yesterday thinking about this, and thank you so much, Noona, for giving me a chance. You just made my heart flutter with your words," Ahn Eunwoo vocalised.
His voice sounded enthusiastic this moment, and a wide smile sat on his face. Those eyes of his, which sparkled currently, drew Moon Jimin in, and a small smile way on to her face.
Although Jimin wanted to smile as widely as Eunwoo at this very moment, she knew that would not reflect well on her. Since Eunwoo had fallen for the image she portrayed, Jimin was required to keep that up.
Moon Jimin shook her head and voiced out, "I am happy as well, Eunwoo-ah. Being with you makes really happy."
Ahn Eunwoo"s eyes fell on the Moon Jimin"s hand, which was on top of the table, and removing his hand from Jimin"s chin, he reached for that hand on top of the table.
Moon Jimin"s eyes widened in surprise when she had noticed that Eunwoo held her hand, and he had intertwined both of their hands together. Her sight went towards their hand before raising her head to look at Eunwoo.
"Is it too early to hold hands, Noona? If you want, we can take it as slow as possible. Noona, I will treat you the best and not do anything that might cause you to be slightly uncomfortable," Ahn Eunwoo vocalised.
Shaking her head, Jimin said, "No, I don"t mind it, Eunwoo-ah. This feels nice and warm."
Ahn Eunwoo let out a chuckle and vocalised, "As much as I want to enjoy both of our time together, let"s have the food first before it turns colder. I would not want Noona to be dissatisfied when she eats it."
Moon Jimin nodded.
After both of them were done eating, Ahn Eunwoo raised his head to look towards Moon Jimin, and as a wide smile— which seemingly reached his eyes— settled upon his face, he said, "I enjoyed this date of ours a lot, Jimin Noona. Let"s go on another one soon."
Moon Jimin nodded and vocalised, "I had fun in this date of ours as well, Eunwoo-ah, and I don"t mind going to another one with you."
At that moment, nervousness masked Ahn Eunwoo"s face, and whilst staring down, he bit his lips. It did not miss Jimin"s eyes on how Eunwoo furrowed his eyebrows.
Worried on what could have caused such a sudden change in emotion within Eunwoo, Jimin questioned, "What"s the matter, Eunwoo?"
Moon Jimin"s words caused him to stare at her, and after a sigh left his mouth, he vocalized, "Jimin Noona, this might be too early for this, and you most definitely would be uncomfortable with this. But can I go to meet your parents tomorrow?
Since both of us are dating, I want to meet up with them and a.s.sure that I will be taking a good care of you. The schedule for this month is quite hectic, and only tomorrow I have free time."
