Six months later.

"Jimin, does this look bad on me?"

My best friend immediately shook his head. "Tae, you look incredible in everything."

I shrugged, putting the sweater back on the hanger. "I don't think it'll suffice."

Jimin scoffed. "Are you sure you even want to go? It seems like you're doing everything in your power to not go on this date!"

I froze, pondering what he was suggesting. Could he actually be correct? Sure, this guy seems incredible. Jimin has talked about him almost nonstop since our date was scheduled for this evening. Bogum is his name.

He seems like a sweetheart. He is handsome, according to Jimin, and he loves dogs, especially small dogs.

I can't help but feel nervous. Guys and me... it just never works out. Every time I get interested, I decide to screw it up. Look what happened with Jun- I mean, the last person I was interested in.

I faced Jimin, and shrugged. "He... He seems like a great guy. I-I'm just scared." My fingers trailed along the hangers, eyeing the plethora of nice shirts and sweaters. My eyes landed on a baby blue cashmere sweater. I smiled as I traveled to the rounder, picking up the hanger with my size. I immediately turned around, placing it against my chest so Jimin could see.

My best friend's mouth turned upwards into a wide smile. "Damn, Tae... Bogum will be salivating over you."

I chuckled, shaking my head in embarrassment. I walked over towards the counter, where I was greeted with a small woman with almond-shaped eyes. She gave a slight smile as she started to ring me up.

"This sweater will look great against your skin tone." She said, placing the sweater in a bag.

I raised an eyebrow at her comment. "Will it?"

She nodded. "I've been in fashion design school for two years. I know what will look good on people. Your tan skin will look great when contrasted by the baby blue. You made a good choice."

I paid for my sweater, giving her a thanks before exiting the store, Jimin right next to me.

"Where did you park, Jiminie?"

He pointed to the next block. "In front of that frozen yogurt shop."

I nodded, wasting no time in heading towards his car, only to stop in my tracks at the sight of a familiar muscular back, holding hands with a man I didn't recognize.

I gulped, feeling like I was frozen in time.

"Tae? Let's go!" Jimin shouted from his car. I shook the nerves off, running to his car and hopping in the passenger seat, just in time for the back to turn around, making me see the face I had longed to see.
