My hands are shaking. My heart is pounding. My mind cannot seem to be at ease. It's not the same nervous feeling I feel whenever we get on stage but it's a different kind of feeling. I'm confused on how I should feel.

I trust Lisa enough to set this all up. Today, I hope it will be one of those days when I can't get myself to simply erase from my memory. A few minutes from now, I should be seeing the girl who I hope I'll spend the rest of my life with.

I finished prepping myself emotionally, mentally, and physically. I wore a red tuxedo and as per planned by the best friend, I wore a bunny costume over the tuxedo I was wearing. Lisa suggested to wear a disguise to lessen the suspicions and I just hope this will work even if it's getting hot in this furry costume. But oh well, they do say 'we do crazy things for love'.

I simply told Rosè that we'll meet at a garden restaurant near our dorm. Thanks to Lisa, she arranged everything; from the disguise down to the venue. I owe Lisa a lot and I just hope everything will go
well.

And yet here I am at the place, continuously walking back and forth because of this nervous feeling. I suddenly stopped and thought about how Jimin hyung would feel about this. I suspected Jimin hyung of having interest on Rosè but I think that's just me.

Thankfully, our managers approved of this date because after all, it is my birthday. Sadly, we cannot date and I doubt that I'll have more spare time soon because of the non-stop comebacks and as soon as possible, I should try to produce my own music.

I frowned because of that thought but then I quickly smiled thinking that I'll be spending a couple of hours with the girl I like.

My manager came near me and said, "She's here." And it left me with mixed emotions.

I stood tall and gazed at a gorgeous lady walking towards me wearing a black flowy dress. I took the chance to look at her for longer than a minute.

"Jungkook-ssi?", she called me out with that sweet voice of hers. I went back to my senses and smiled widely. I led her to seat first then I did the same. I sat straight and kept on rubbing my kness intensely.

She cleared her throat to break the silence. "So, how have you been doing?", she asked shyly. "I-I'm doing fine. You?" I stammered. "Same," she replied. My eyes roamed around the venue because of the awkward atmosphere.

Don't be such a chicken Jungkook! The girl might lose interest on you.

I shook my head slight and cleared my throat. I need to step up here. "So," I started. "We're just the same age, right?", I asked.

Her eyes gazed at the ceiling, "Hmm..." "I'm a 97 and so are you," she stated. "Yes, we're the same age," she nodded and chuckled.

"Are you hungry?", I asked out of concern. "Oh, uhm... We can eat I guess," she responded. I gave a soft smile and called the waiter. "You can order anything you want," I said to Rosè.

"I'd like a white-sauced spaghetti with mushrooms, garlic bread, baby back ribs, fried chicken, and kimchi stew," she ordered which left me quite surprised because Chaeyoung is such a petite lady and yet she has a big appetite. My type. "Please," she added.

I just sat there staring at her with eyes wide opened. "What?", she asked. I shook my head and chuckled, "I love girls with big appetite." She giggled, "That's me."

"I'd like a beef noodle with rice, fish soup, and lobster," I ordered. "Thank you," Rosè and I said in unison. The waiter went away to give our orders. "Wow, you ordered a lot," Rosè commented. "Says the girl who ordered a lot," I teased and chuckled.

"Haha. Very funny," she said in sarcasm. "Don't you idols need to maintain a diet?", she asked. "Yeah, but today's a cheat day," I giggled and gave her a playful wink.

"Chaeyoung, tell me more about you," I uttered while gazing at her beautiful brown eyes. "Well, first of all, you're my ultimate bias," she replied and giggled. I was both surprised and happy at the same time that it made my heart flutter. It may sound cheesy but it's true.

"Why not Jimin hyung?", I asked and raised an eyebrow. Knowing that they were both close friends, I just had the thought why she chose me as her favorite. "Jimin is like a brother to me, you know like typical brother-sister relationship. Though I don't call him oppa that much and he's like two years older," she uttered. "Besides, he's a potential ultimate bias to me," she chuckled.

"But you'll always be my bias, don't worry," she reassured and smiled at me. I smiled back at her and it felt like it was inevitable to look at her gorgeous face. "Aren't you going to celebrate with your hyungs on your birthday?", she interrogated.

"After our date. I know they're throwing a surprise party for me so I'll give them extra time," I chaffed and laughed.

The waiter came to our table with the food and he began to serve it. Rosè displayed an excited face once the food was being served and it me somewhat happy. "I tend to be quiet when I eat," she uttered and let out a giggle. I tittered, "Eat how you want. Just be yourself." She gazed at me for quite a while. "Let's eat!", she cheered at excitement.

We began to eat our food and as what Rosè said, she quietly ate her meal and was able to finish everything she ordered. I bet Chaeyoung takes Jimin hyung out on meals not to mention how chubby and cute hyung was before.

"I haven't eaten here for ages," Rosè remarked while roaming her eyes around the place. "Why not?", I asked. "For some reason, my parents won't let me. This place used to be my favorite. Jimin, Lisa, and I come for picnics," she began to reminisce her childhood days.

"Chaeyoung, I really want to get close to you," I plainly and directly said. Her eyes went wide and she was probably taken aback. "W-why?", she uneasily asked. I looked deep into her eyes to show her how sincere I am. "Because there is something about you that makes me want to know you," I uttered.

"R-really?," she stammered and her cheeks and ears began to turn red.

A guitars and a pianist came out from the platform and started to play their instruments. I stood up and went to where a microphone stand was placed. I waited for the timing and began to sing.

(Play – Beautiful by BTS)

As I continued to sing, Rosè was only dumbfounded that she didn't know what to do. She was simply frozen on her seat so I detached the microphone from the stand and walked towards her while singing. I held her hand and made her stand up. I placed both of her hands around my neck.

I could tell she was quite nervous because she couldn't look at me in the eye. I lifted her chin up gently and gave her a reassuring smile. We began to sway back and forth hoping that she'd be at ease. I continued to sing and we both remained in the same position for a while.

I let loose and asked her, "Chae, this is too much, right?" Her eyes finally met mine. "We can stop," I offered and began to let her go. "What? No!", she shrieked and placed her hands back around my neck. She continued the song I was singing for her earlier.

When she started singing, it took me by surprise. Her voice was like an angel's. It was so soothing and so soft that I want to hear her sing a lullaby for me. I could only smile at her. I rested my forehead on hers and we both closed our eyes to feel the moment.

We stayed like that for another long while until her phone rang all of the sudden. She let me go and picked her phone up. She went somewhere farther and answered the call.

A few minutes later, she came back to me with sad eyes. "Jungkook, I need to go eomma is going loco again," she broken-heartedly said. I too felt sad because of her leaving so soon. "Okay, I'll bring you home," I suggested but she shook her head. "It's too risky. I have a chauffeur anyway," she uttered.

"Goodbye, Park Chaeyoung," I said. "Goodbye, Jeon Jungkook. Thank you for this unforgettable night," she responded and hastily went home.

"SURPRISE!!", I was greeted with confetti and ballon when I opened the door to our dorm. I was quite surprised even though I knew this was coming.

"Saengil chukahamnida! Saengil chukahamnida! Saranghae, Jungkookie. Saengil chukahamnida," they all sang together and brought a cake out. For my wish, I wished that everyone will find happiness. I also wished that Rosè and me will end up together. Then, I blew the candle with a 21 on it and they all cheered.

My eyes went looking for Lisa. I immediately went to her and gave her a big tight hug. "Thank you!", I whispered to her ear filled with excitement. "You're welcome," she replied.

I suddenly felt someone poking on my back only to find out it was V. I let loose of the hug and smiled at Lisa. I looked at V and saw his blank face but then he immediately turned it into a jolly one and started to cheer up.

He joined the other hyungs and left Lisa. Lisa and I only smiled at each other and gave a thumbs up.

It was truly unforgettable.
