jieun woke up immediately in a state of nervousness, as it was not only her first date with jisung, but her first date in general. isla ended up having to go to work so the younger girl spent a good two hours on a group facetime with minhee, ash, lex, and vei, helping her decide what to wear.

she settled with a cute floral dress, as it was summer and the day was sunny with a clear, blue sky. regardless of jisungs plan, she wanted to be cute and comfortable while not sweating her ass off the whole time. she kept her makeup and hair simple, giving one last twirl to the ladies on her phone as they complimented her before she decided she was done getting ready.

the time came closer and closer and her nerves grew higher and higher. until finally, it reached 12 pm on the dot and jisung was pulled in the front of her house.

"is he here?!" her mom said eagerly just before jieun could get her hand on the doorknob.

"yep, bye." the girl said quickly before her mom could find her way out the door to escort her in an embarrassing manner. jisung shut the door of the drivers side before jogging to the other side, getting ready to open the door for jieun.

"hi," she laughed lightly, trying to break the awkward silence between them while shielding her eyes from the sun burning into her face.

"hi, you look pretty. really pretty." the tall boy complimented, seeming to have trouble holding eye contact.

still, he meant it. he stared at her so much whenever she wasn't looking, he couldn't believe she could get any prettier than she always was. with her dark hair flowing elegantly over her shoulders, smaller strands framing her face perfectly no matter how hard she tried to brush it away. jieun never really wore dresses, so seeing her in one for the first time honestly made it hard for jisung to breathe. she's just so pretty to him.

"you good?" the sound of her voice snapped him out of his thoughts, not realizing he zoned out.

"yes, sorry," he apologized and swiftly spun around to open the door for her. a slight look of shock spread over her face, causing him to laugh as she stepped inside the car.

shutting the door, he then made it to his own side and got in. "don't seem so shocked that i have manners."

"i'm not, guys just usually aren't like that. i'm not used to it." the girl replied honestly.

jisung nodded, pouting his lips and humming cutely. "you should get used to it, then."

jieun didn't get another word out as jisung started the car and drove away from her home. the silence grew comfortable, the two just enjoying each others company so much that jieun didn't bother asking where they were headed. the faint sound of frank ocean played under the sound of the car, and she took it upon herself to turn the volume up louder, jisung grinning as she hummed along to the music.

"you seem like the type to like frank ocean." she then said, keeping her eyes ahead of her.

"do i? what type of people listen to frank ocean?"

"cool people."

jisung laughed loudly. "oh, really? thank you."

silence hugged them once again and nothing else was said between them for the rest of the short drive. then finally, they pulled up to a park with a beautiful fountain, benches, people playing frisbee or taking a simple jog. more importantly, a huge piece of land covered in grass a healthy green, one that was perfect for a picnic.

"are we... taking a walk?" jieun asked, still clueless.

"no," jisung laughed again, "picnic!"

the girl nodded and turned to look out the window, slightly embarrassed at how dumb she just sounded. after parking the car, the two hurried out and jisung quickly grabbed a large blanket and picnic basket out of the back, the excited smile not leaving his face.

they practically skipped past civilians walking along the concrete part, casually enjoying the day as they were on their way to. after finding a spot just under a tree, giving them some shade and quite far away from other people, jisung set down the big blanket and didn't waste another second plopping down onto it.

meanwhile jieun was too distract by the pretty scenery of the park, and the sky, and couldn't help herself when she took out her phone to snap a few pictures. jisung looked up at her when he didn't see her sit down after him, admiring her being captivated by the view.

a few photos later, she let her hands fall to her sides, "it's so pretty."

"i'm not gonna lie, i just picked the closest park because i didn't wanna go too far." the boy replied honestly.

"that's okay," jieun replied, finally taking a seat, "this is really pretty and it wouldn't matter to me anyways."

"garfield would love this park."

jieun laughed this time, entertained by his random thought process. "yeah, definitely."

jisung opened up the picnic basket and pulled out all the things he packed. fruits, veggies, sandwiches, fizzy drinks. "i probably should've asked what you like first... that was dumb of me not to, but this is good stuff, right? or maybe i'm overthinking it?"

the shorter could tell he was just as nervous as she was, as she noticed he had a habit of talking a lot about nothing when anxious. "no, this is all good. don't worry about it."

jisung ran a hand through his hair. "sorry, i'm so nervous i literally can't think straight."

"if it makes you feel any better, neither can i. don't be nervous though, it's just me."

jisung gasped lightly, almost offended at jieun referring to herself as 'just me.' "don't say it like that."

"like what?"

"like... you know. it makes it sound like you're nothing special." the boy replied, "which is dumb. because you are."

it's absolutely sick how many butterflies i just got. an evident blush grew over jieuns cheek, she quickly turned her head but wasn't fast enough as jisung could see it clearly. "dude... did i just make you blush?!"

"nope," she replied, clearing her throat after her failed attempt at lying, "shut up."
