We walked into a brightly lit store, there was an array of bright colours, plastered across the walls and within each tray in the cooler. Clusters of vibrant reds and even navy blue, and swirls of magenta and alabaster in a number various trays. I looked around, overwhelmed by the display of colour and joy. Each flavour had it's own decorations, fruit pieces here and there, a bit of cookie crumbles or bright shades of sauce drizzled over- as if they were bought straight from a rainbow. The shop itself was quaint, but it had a loud aesthetic- with bright pastel pinks, blues and purples all over the place.

I examined the various flavours- each one unique and and beckoning in its own way, there were bizarre flavours like Wildberry Lavender (which lived up to its name in the light spectrum by the way), Pear and Blue cheese, Pumpkin Stracciatella, and an orange tinged flavour with Honey and Rhubarb among many others. A few 'calmer' looking flavours were spread out around the cooler too, the classics, Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Sour Cherry- and Earl grey tea?
Of course there were numerous flavours I had yet to lay my eyes on but Jimin nudged me back to reality.

"So, what do you want to eat?" He asked after breathing in through his teeth a little, "Oh, wait, you're treating me, go on, ask me what I want to eat!" He said while smiling smugly.
I chuckled a little at the ridiculous situation, "Go on dear, tell me, what flavour would you like to eat?" I said in a 'friendly' tone, as though I was talking to a little child- which, in essence, I sort of was, wasn't I?
He instantly began grinning and hopping about,
"Wee okay okay, I'm so excited, I want that one, the pretty blue one! ^^" He reached out and pointed towards a tray filled with an Azure blue ice-cream, the label on the little spike in the corner said it was called "B'dazzled Blue", which really doesn't sound like a flavour, but who am I to argue with a mini label? The ice cream was a cool blue, but it contained streaks of navy and little crumbs of dark brown and flecks of silver.

"Hi... Um, sir?" The Scooper-man had his back to us, he was washing something.
"Sir?" He can't hear me, uh awkward. I glanced at Jimin and nervously smiled and signalled to him.
He signalled back and mouthed the words 'What do you want me to do?', I nodded towards the Scooper-man and looked back and forth between the two men.
Eventually he let out a light laugh and rolled his eyes, "Hi, EXCUSE ME SIR." The middle-aged man turned around and smiled "OH Hi, sorry, didn't hear you guys." He nervously apologised, "How can I help you?".

I smiled back at the pale man, "Ah yes, could I get a- a B'dazzled Blue?" he reached for a tub, "How many scoops?" I looked at Jimin and he was 'discreetly' holding up three fingers and mouthing the number itself, I widened my eyes and looked at him, but he insisted, "Three. Three scoops please." I said in a strained tone and smiled at the man once more.
"Anything else?" The man asked as he poked a small plastic red spoon into Jimin's order.
"Yes please... can I get-" My eyes wandered over the countless flavours, I finally found my eyes drifting to a Pale pink, purple and cream concoction with small chunks of dark brown biscuit. "- Three scoops of Kitty kitty bang bang?- Yes, three of that. That's the one I want."
My eyes drifted back to Jimin, he was holding in his laughter this time, one hand over his mouth and the other over his stomach.
"What!?" I yelled while bursting out in laughter, "Go on, say it!".
The man serving us smiled but tried to hide it, he continued observing Jimin and I's exchange as he brought up our orders to the till.
"Nothing. Nothing." He took a deep breath, "THAT'S what your choosing?" he let out a light-hearted laugh.
"What's wrong with that? And it looks delicious so... AND WHAT KIND OF NAME IS B'DAZZLED BLUE?"
We collected our tubs, and I paid, the Scooper man then grinned at us "Aigo. What a cute young couple!" He said as he handed our ice creams to us, Jimin and I exchanged looks and smiled.
I'm not going to lie, it felt good after he said that about us, I don't know why, but it gave me a sense of satisfaction even though it made me a little nervous.

Just before we left the Scooper man gifted us two strawberry cheesecake cookies, out of the kindness of his heart, and we took it, no questions asked. You can take candy from a stranger if they're working in a legit place. I put them away in my bag.
We then walked out the store as we continued making fun of eachother 's choices.

We slowly walked side by side as we examined our desserts.
"How's your ice cream?" Jimin asked as he leaned in towards me to take another look at it, I pulled my tub away from him a little to protect the cold glory I was holding, "It's amazing. Seriously I think I'm in love." I said emotionally as I shoved another spoonful into my mouth.
Jimin quietly mumbled something under his breath.
"What was that Jimin?" I yelled.
"Ahh ^^' nothing it's nothing-" He nervously said before cramming another spoonful of ice cream in, he savoured it for a moment then quickly swallowed it "Hey, can I try some of yours?" He said enthusiastically.
Maybe? I mean of course he can. Yeah of course he can. I wish he wouldn't but sure.
"Oh okay, here" I held out my tub of ice cream towards him and waited for him to take a spoonful.
"No." He said while pouting his pretty lips, which very well may have been quite numb from all the ice cream.

I furrowed my eyebrows and lightly tilted my head, "What? You just-" he interrupted me "-Feed me." He said with what looked like an exaggerated smile across his face.
Stop stop stop. Pause. Time out. I stood still for a moment. I stared blankly at my ice cream as I was acting out numerous scenarios in my mind.
"Sena?" He tilted his head towards me.
"Uhh Sena?" He called my name again.
I snapped back to reality, "Huh? Oh. Yeah, okay..."I tried to prevent my hand from shaking as I took another spoonful of my amazing dessert. Jimin crouched down a little and leaned in further, angling himself for optimal ice cream receival. I lightly placed the spoon in his mouth and waited for him to devour the ice cream.
In my head, this moment lasted very long. In my head, everything was almost twice as long- I stared at his face as he leaned in towards the spoon, his eyes almost shut and lips slightly parted. As I proceeded to bring the ice cream closer, his mouth was wide open and his jawline more prominent, I watched how his lips wrapped around my spoon.
My spoon. My freaking spoon.

As soon as he ate the ice cream, I was back in real time. He chewed for a while and then swallowed.
He sucked his cheeks in a little to get the last of the flavour before talking, "Okay. Yes that was delicious... Strawberry, Vanilla and...Cherry? I think. Oh and crushed Oreos." He moaned as he expressed his love for the flavour.
"Yeah, that sounds about right. It's delightful. Ugh."
"Wanna try some of mine?" He said as he gestured towards his tub.
Omgomgomg could it be? Scenario 14? Please please. Actually no. I'd melt.
"Yeah, sure." I tried to say as coolly as possible. I waited for a moment to see if he was going to use his spoon.
He scooped up some ice cream on his own spoon and lifted it towards me.
OMG scenario 14 this is it. Omg. Kill meeeeee :)
I looked at him and nervously smiled a little before eating the ice cream.
That's so awkward well done me. Yay Sena. Why the fuck did I make eye contact? WHYD I HAVE TO SMILE.
I'd completely forgotten about actually eating the ice cream once it was in my pie hole.
It was melting and causing my mouth to go numb. Jimin looked at me as if to see if I liked it.
I chewed a little and savoured its flavour, it was delicious. Oh boy was it tasty.
-Just not as tasty as Kitty kitty bang bang.
I quickly licked my lips in case I'd gotten ice cream on them- to avoid scenario 63, oh that would be both amazing and terrible.

He was staring at me as he waited for me to finish my mouthful. I stared back as I chewed, his eyes were so beautiful- so full of affection and love, and this, this one frame- this one second where we locked eyes, I felt something in my chest jump more than usual. I felt my heart frantically dance and scream.
It felt like I was meeting him for the first time again, like I was falling for him for the first time again.
I smiled to myself as I finished the ice cream.
He smiled back, "So, do you like it?"
I nodded as I continued smiling, "Yeah it was nice, blueberry, raspberry... I think a bit of strawberry too? And dark chocolate biscuit crumbs."
He proudly nodded in response.
"BUT." He raised an eyebrow. "- Mines better." I goofily smiled, waved another spoonful around and shoved it in my mouth. I was acting normal but I was actually still recovering from scenario 14 and 63.
No matter what I tried I couldn't tame my heart, it was like a misbehaving chihuahua barking at every little thing, getting hyped and aggressive.

We continued walking around, it was almost midnight by now, we'd finished our desserts and we're just chatting.
I rubbed my hands together, "You cold?" Jimin asked.
I frowned a little, "Kind of, holding the ice cream just made it worse."
"Gimme." He said, and in one swift move, grabbed both of my hands and started warming them up.
I could feel myself melting. Scenario 34. This cliché Kdrama scene still had me nervous and had my heart going crazy.
I honestly thought I was slowly getting better at this, but tonight I was a mess- maybe it's because he's wearing a suit tonight...Or because he clearly just showered and I could still smell his shampoo and the old spice spray he used.
Or maybe it's because it's dark and the way the shadows fell on his face made him even more dashing than usual.
Or maybe I'm just weak.

I watched him as he warmed my hands up, he was looking down at my hands with joy. He was distracted, so I could stare at his face, right?
I continued admiring his face until he finally looked up at me, "Better? See. I told you that I took your gloves to learn how to keep you warm." He smirked.
I played along, "Looks like you were taught well." I chuckled.

It was late. Neither of us wanted to go back yet, evident by our notoriously slow pace. We made our way back while holding hands, although we were non-stop talking, I was somewhat more focused on how soft and warm his hand was, and how soothing and melodic his voice was; even though he wasn't singing, even though he was just talking.

We made it back home by 1.06am. We walked for so long, but it didn't feel long enough.
Jimin looked at the ground and softly smiled to himself as we reached my door, "I guess this concludes our evening...
It feels too short. I wish we were out longer." He sighed.
He genuinely seemed sad.
I stayed quiet, I agreed completely with him, I didn't want to say anything. I was too busy trying to think of a way for tonight to not end.
"Let's do this again okay? Text and call me."
He pulled me in by my shoulders and placed his soft lips on my cheek.
It wasn't a wet kiss, but his lips were cold, that's why it felt wet.
I couldn't help but smile like a fool.
"...Jimin." I whispered.
"Mmm?" He waited for me to continue.
"You're too much." I quietly confessed while avoiding eye contact and not trying to smile.
"Yeah, I know." He smirked, "but so are you." He held my cheeks in his palms and leaned in towards me.
My heart not only skipped a beat, it skipped a whole song...or two.
I held my breath in. He leaned in further.
Our foreheads touched and the tips of our noses met.
"Night, love." He whispered as he grinned.
A stared at him, completely infatuated with him.
"Goodnight." I managed to voice out.

He gave me another peck, on my forehead this time.
He then stepped back and went back to his apartment.

My heart sank as I watched him walk away, I know I'll see him again soon, but it still hurt.
It was crazy but I felt like I needed to be with him.
What's wrong with me? Why am I so caught up? These two questions echoed through my thoughts.
I touched my hand to my cheek, as if I were somehow trying to grab a hold of a piece of him, in the hopes that his essence and warmth would have left some sort of residue.

I'm in love, that's why.

That night neither of us could sleep. We spent our following waking hours messaging each other- neither of us mentioned our goodbye that night, but we still talked. Not about anything special.
Just talked.
And it was one of the best nights of my life so far.
