(Concept by author: Mina and Jungkook were set up by their friends, at first, they only go with it to please their friends, but end up having a good time)

(Mina POV)

"Why would you do that without asking me first?" I ask Chaeyoung, trying not to get upset.

"I'm sorry, but just trust me on this one! You two are gonna love each other." She says.

"I don't know how I feel about this..."

"Come on, it's just one date. You don't even have to call it a date if you don't want to." She shrugs.

I sigh. She knows how I deal with my love life and she knows I don't really like getting other people involved. They really set me up with Jeon Jungkook. It's going to be so awkward. I know him, but we aren't really friends. Our friends are friends with each other and that's the only reason why we know each other.

They have been trying to set us up for so long just because we're the same age as each other. I have nothing against him, he just doesn't seem like my type. I wonder how he feels about all of this.

(Jungkook POV)

"You set me up on a date?" I raise my voice, almost yelling.

"It's just one date, you'll be fine!" Taehyung shakes my shoulder.

"But with Mina??" I add.

"What? You said you thought she was pretty!"

"That doesn't mean I want to go on a date with her!"

I tried to argue, but I was outnumbered.

Well then if I have to do this, I won't hold it against her. She probably doesn't want to do this just as much as I don't.

It was always awkward between us because we were only with each other when our friends were around and we knew they wanted us to get together.

Maybe we would actually be friends if it wasn't for them.

The day of our "date" we met up at the Han River and our friends wanted proof of us actually spending time together so we took a picture together and sent it to them.

We spent a few minutes just awkwardly walking around in silence. She made me nervous.

After a while I finally tried to start a conversation.

"Were you dragged into this too?" I ask.

It was risky asking her this because I might end up with my feelings hurt.

"Yeah," she laughs softly, "our friends are crazy."

I laugh a little to myself. Both of us kept looking straight ahead, avoiding eye contact with each other.

"If I'm being honest with you," I say, forcing myself to look into her eyes, "you make me nervous."

"Really?" Her eyes don't leave mine, "Why?"

I laugh nervously. I felt myself slolwy becoming more comfortable around her.

"I don't know," I say, "there was always just some tension between us."

"There was?" She asks.

"Wasn't there?"

We both laugh.

At first, I was laughing at how oblivious we were, but I found myself smiling because of her laugh.

Somewhere along the way, we stopped and leaned against a railing to admire the view.

The Han River is typically considered a romantic spot for couples and I could see why. I've never been here with another person before.

I turn to see Mina reaching her arm out over the rail, lining her fingers up with the clouds in the sky.

"What are you doing?" I chuckle.

"Try it."

I reach my hand out towards the sky and the subtle cool mist from the river traces the hairs on my arm.

"Woah." I say under my breath.

Mina laughs softly.

Our arms were so close to each other, I could feel the warmth radiating from her skin.

I look towards her again. Her eyes were closed, her hair flowing in the breeze with her hand still out over the water.

I move my arm closer to hers and try to lock fingers with her, but she instantly moves away.

"Sorry," I say, a little surprised, "I didn't know we were so close..."

"No worries," she puts her hand in her pocket, "we should get going."

Why did I do that..? What was I thinking? It's like my body moved on its own.

We started walking again and I tried to keep my distance. I probably made her uncomfortable.

Well, that's what I thought. Every time I tried to keep a little space between us, she'd move back closer.

Maybe I didn't screw up?

(Mina POV)

I'm pretty sure Jungkook tried to hold my hand, but I panicked and basically rejected him. 

I didn't want him to feel bad so I walked close to him. 

He's actually a really nice guy. My friends would always tell me good things about him because they wanted us to get together, but I slowly started to notice that all that they said was true. He was a little bit younger than me, but it didn't seem like it.

While I was lost in my own thoughts, I feel him take my hand. I look over at him, but he kept his gaze straight ahead.

His grasp felt...strong. His hand gently squeezed mine so I squeezed back.  I felt my cheeks get warm before I realized I was blushing.

I looked down and to the side, not wanting him to see my face.

(Jungkook POV)

I couldn't believe we were holding hands for that long. We were going to leave soon, so we sat down at a bench overlooking the water before walking back.

It was a little less awkward between us now, but it was very different from where we started. I even felt different. It's like I don't know how to describe it.

"I know we were both forced into this, but thanks for coming out anyways." She says. 

I laugh nervously, "Yeah. Thanks too. I had a..." I hesitated for a second, "a good time today."

The two of us lock eyes and I felt the heat rushing through my body. It felt like a movie. Like no one else in the world was here except us.

My eyes avert down to her lips. They looked so soft and she slowly parts them, like she was just begging me to kiss them.

Again, I felt my body act on its own. I tilt my head to the side and lean in. 

Our lips meet and I turn my body to completely face her, my hands go up to cup her face.

I can't recall how long we stayed like that, but when we finally parted, both of our faces were red.

Her eyes widen and she puts her sleeve up to my lips, wiping something from the corner of my mouth. Her white sleeve had a pink mark on it when she pulled away.

"Let's just...keep this between us for now." She says.

"That seems like a good idea." I breathe.

I drive her back home and drop her off at her place.

"Thanks again." I say before she gets out of the car.

She leans over the car and pecks me on the cheek.

"Anytime." She smirks.

I got back home and I was bombarded with questions the second I stepped through the door.

"Hey, JK! How was it?"

"Did you two have fun?"

"Are you guys dating now?"

"Did you kiss her?"

"Did you-"

"Alright, alright!" I yell, "I'll tell you, just let me breathe!"

They quiet down.

"We walked around and talked. I think we both had a good time." I say.

"That's it?"

"What more do you want from me?" I sigh.

They ended up leaving us alone, thinking we didn't click like they wanted us to. Little did they know, this wasn't our last date.
