[BL/National] Spring in Winter

Episode 1: Asking for a Date

{Jimin's point of view}

08:50 AM

Early Friday morning, my cell phone rang loudly.

박지민

Uhhh... Who's here this morning? There's no class today, but hello?

전정국

Jimin-sunbaenim? Did you just wake up? I'm sorry... I don't think I'll be able to tell you later.

박지민

Oh, is it Jeongguk? It's okay, it's okay. I was just about to wake up anyway. Why are you calling?

전정국

If you have time tomorrow, would you like to watch a movie with me? Just the two of us.

박지민

I'm happy to see Jungkook!

전정국

Oh, really? Then is 2 o'clock tomorrow okay?

박지민

Yeah, that's totally fine.

전정국

That's a relief... Thank you, senior! Oh, I heard it's going to be really cold tomorrow, so wear some thick clothes.

박지민

Okay, listen well in class and see you tomorrow!

전정국

Yes, I'll hang up.

Thump-

박지민

Ugh, I didn't know Jungkook would be the one to ask me out first... What should I wear tomorrow...? It's still our first proper date...

Jungkook and I are currently attending the same university and are seeing each other for a bit.

It's clear that Jungkook is interested in me, but he doesn't try to approach me any further, and my insides are burning.

In the past, whenever I tried to confess first, Jungkook would change the subject and avoid me as soon as I set the mood, so it all failed.

You don't hate me, but why do you avoid me?

Are you perhaps embarrassed?

Or is it just fishery management..?

No, no. Jungkook is too innocent. If he had to suffer, he would have suffered. He would never do that.

Oh, then what the heck is it...?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't find the answer.

Even though I knew that no matter how much I kept asking, I wouldn't find the answer, I couldn't stop thinking about Jungkook as I prepared for tomorrow's date.

In the end, I fell asleep with only question marks in my head.

Finally, the day of the long-awaited date with Jungkook has arrived.
