"Syd, are you ready?" I pulled on my best friend's leg as she was still asleep because we had a late night watching our favorite movies. She made a sound that didn't sound like a humans as she turned her back to me. "Come on, Sydney Grace! Today's the day! We finally get some time together. Just the two of us!"

"I know.. but can I sleep more? Just 5 minutes more?" She groaned, still unable to open her eyes.

"Syd. We need to be productive. Let's start the day right." I got off the bed and put my hands on my hips, grabbing the blankets and pulling them off her.

Her phone chimed when a notif came and she sat up immediately, digging under the blanket like a dog digging for a bone and searching under the pillows for her phone. She grabbed it and stared at the message from her boyfriend. I swear my jaw almost dropped as I watch her grinning, "Sydney Grace!"

"What?" Syd said, playing innocent while looking at me. "Jimin texted me Good morning."

"I said Good morning just two minutes ago and you didn't even bother to open your eyes but when Jimin sends a text, you jump like there's no tomorrow?" I gave her a look. "I feel hurt."

"Oh come on, it's not a big deal." Sydney leaves the bed and pushed me into the bathroom so we can brush our teeth together. "You have a boyfriend too. He probably messaged you already."

"Shh." I put my hand over her mouth, listening for sounds outside of my room to check if my Dad is already up. "You can't mention that word around my Dad."

"Relax. Your secret is safe." She said, grinning. "He messaged you, didn't he?"

"No." I replied and retreated to the bathroom before she asks me why Jungkook doesn't text me first thing in the morning. Honestly, I also have no idea. I envy Sydney though. She got lucky with Jimin. He's like the perfect boyfriend every girl are dreaming of.

Jungkook is perfect too. In his own way. I shouldn't think like this. Everyone is different. I mean, every girl in school dreams of getting a boyfriend like Jungkook too. Okay, that's exaggeration. Maybe not every girl because let's face it, he's can be a real jerk sometimes.

I put a pea sized amount of toothpaste on my dry toothbrush. Syd did the same but she has this thing of wetting her toothbrush first. I don't really get it. She was still on the topic of Jungkook as I started to brush my teeth and nod at every thing she says.

"He'll text you soon. He's just probably a late sleeper so he might still be sleeping right now." Sydney said and I nodded. We continued to brush our teeth and washed our faces before we prepared to go out of my room.

"Oooh, that's a cute hoodie." I told her when she came out the bathroom wearing a black oversized hoodie.

"It's Jimin's. He said I can borrow it for a few days while he's away." Sydney said shyly as she brought the hoodie over her face and smelled it. "He wore it for a whole day before giving it to me so it smells exactly like him."

"Ew. Syd!" I said and made a face at her to which she responded by sniffing more of it.

Sometimes, I feel jealous of her but, in cringe moments like this, I'm glad Jungkook isn't like Jimin. I'm so thankful he isn't like Jimin at all. I mean, who knows what Jimin did while he wore that hoodie and my best friend thinks it's so sweet. I don't even want to think about it. I want to vomit.

We decided to go out and search for Prom dresses. We visited a few stores and, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed and all out of hope. I have the perfect vintage dress in my mind but I haven't seen anything that is similar to it. And those that I liked didn't fit me, either too small or too big. Ugh.

"I'm tired and hungry. How about we take a break and eat lunch first?" I asked Syd and she agreed. Syd always picks where to eat because I really am not a picky eater. I eat anything as long as it's edible food.

"We shouldn't be eating junk now because Prom is like two weeks away." Sydney said as she popped two fries at the same time into her mouth. "But it's sooo gooooood."

"Fuck it. I'm hungry." I said and we both laughed. "I want ice cream later. Oh and maybe a bubble tea?"

Sydney nodded happily and just like we came to an agreement. I love my best friend. We are literally one soul.

"Isn't that your teammates?" Sydney pointed to the group of guys that passed by the window.

"Yeah.. it is." I replied, my eyes followed Jungkook. The whole team is present except for Jimin, Taehyung and Yoongi. I already know Yoongi wouldn't go out.

"Should we say hi?" Sydney turned to me and asked.

"Nah." I countered, shaking my head. "Let the guys have their fun and we'll have ours. I need some time away from them to reconnect with my human side."

Syd laughed, "I wonder what guys do when they're together.."

"You don't want to know. You might regret it." Was what I said but in my head, I'm trying hard not to think about it but the picture of Taehyung and Jimin dancing to girl group songs keep playing in my head.

"VEE, THAT IS IT!" Syd exclaimed, smiling, the moment I stepped out of the small fitting room of a vintage boutique. "You look stunning!"

"Do I?" I asked as I checked my reflection in the old looking full body mirror hanging by the wall beside the fitting room. The glittery, champagne colored dress fit me like a glove.

Syd rummaged through a nearby rack and picked up a faux fur coat, "Put this on too."

She helped me bring my arms inside the coat and pull it over my shoulders. I felt the fur material with my hands and immediately melted. "Oh my god.. this so soft."

"That is not the point here." Syd pouted and then asked the kind middle aged lady to wrap up the dress. "Yes, we're taking this one."

We left the boutique in high spirits. I carried the paper bag in one hand and an ice cream cone on the other. I turned to Syd, "Now we only have to find your dress. What do you have in mind?"

"I don't know.. just something simple." She said as we entered another shop. She looked around and didn't see anything that peaked her interest so we left again.

"Are you serious? You honestly don't know what you want?" I laughed at her when she said she was tired and wanted to go home. "We will go home when we find your dress. So pick one."

The next shop offered used items and had a lot more variety of dresses compared to the other ones so I sat down in one corner and let Syd pick her own clothes.

The bells on the door chimed but I didn't even bother to look at the customers who are coming in because I was watching Netflix on my phone and eating my ice cream well. I felt the cushion of the love seat dip and knew that someone sat beside me but still, I didn't look up until his fringes touched my cheek. The guy is obviously trying to peek into my phone and wasn't even shy about it.

"Excuse me Mister." I started but bit my tongue instantly when I met his brown eyes. His warm rounded eyes, chiseled features and his plain white shirts is definitely a combination for trouble. "Jungkook? What are you doing here?"

"Someone told me to follow my heart.." He spoke in his velvety, smooth voice before he propped his hands casually behind my back and leaned forward to peek closely into my eyes. "..so I followed mine."

Oh God, Take my heart already. It's cheesy but it's alright because I love cheese. What is wrong with me? I want to hug him.

"You didn't text me today." He added, moving back a little after doing something he knows he will be shy about. He's so cute and I love that about him. Jungkook looked away and then back to me. "I was wondering what you were doing.. and also, I kinda missed you. I want to stay next to you every day."
