EIGHT : First meeting

Wrong number

Right there, in front of Yoongi, Soomin stood, eyes wide like saucers, as she didn't expect to see her neighbor whom she knew now.

Both them seem to have frozen in there respective places. no one uttering a single word but mouth hanging open. Yoongi knew that this girl is Soomin.

His Soomin.

That's why his mouth was open in shock, whereas in Soomin's case it was something else. She herself didn't know what she was feeling. Did yoongi find out who she was? No, it wasn't possible.

               Maybe his friend told him about her and maybe he is just coming to thank her for helping out. Yeah that is possible. But then why he is looking at her like that? Soomin and Yoongi kept staring at each other until they were greeted by soomin's eomma's voice.

" Who is it, Soomin-ah"

Soomin broke her gaze from Yoongi to look at her eomma approaching them.

"Umm, it's ...umm" Yoongi started to get nervous.

He need to think of an excuse fast. What will he say when they ask him what he was doing there? He started to look around' unconsciously biting on his lower lips.

Finally, Soomin's eomma appeared and looked at the mint headed visitor. She gave him a warm smile.

"Yes?'

'Uhh... umm..." Yoongi struggled to make words. then a light went on his head.

" Hello, I'm Min Yoongi, your neighbour. We haven't been introduced before, if I'm right." he said as his bowed politely. He briefly looked at Soomin, who still had her eyes wide open.

Yoongi praised himself in his mind for starting a conversation first. "Oh, hello", Soomin eomma greeted him back, " Are you new here? I have never seen you before."

" No no, I have living here since few months. but I have been quite busy with college. So I never got a chance to introduce myself to you. I'm really sorry, if I disturbed you early in the morning." Yoongi replied back.

" No no it's fine." Soomin's eomma gave him another smile. "Oh what are we all doing on the doorstep. let's go inside and have some breakfast.

"No it's fine. I should get going." yoongi replied as his eyes kept moving towards Soomin who was standing beside her mother.

"NO NO come on, young man we are going to go inside and have breakfast. Soomin's appa has already left for work, so I couldn't introduce you to him." Soomin's eomma said as she dragged Yoongi inside while Soomin followed them like a lost child.

Once they were inside Soomin's eomma excused herself so that she could bring some sandwiches from kitchen and then a thick awkward silent filled the atmosphere.

Yoongi and Soomin kept stealing glances, getting caught by each other and looking away to repeat the process again. Both of them wondered if the other knew them? At last, when Yoongi opened his mouth to say something, Soomin's eomma interrupted them.

"There you go, Yoongi. And Soomin, I have packed you some for you too" she said as she placed some sandwiches on a plate for Yoongi and handed Soomin a paper bag.

Suddenly realizing that she was running late, Soomin got up and got ready to leave.

"Bye mom. Umm..." Soomin didn't know what to say to Yoongi . So she just bowed and turned to leave. Yoongi also stood up as he saw Soomin leave the house.

"I think I should leave too. I just remembered something." Yoongi said as he bowed," have a nice day, Mrs kim."

And with that Yoongi bolted out of the door and look around to find Soomin on her way. Without thinking or holding back, he shouted for her.

"Soomin!!"

The said person froze on her place as she heard her name being called by the particular voice.

Yoongi ran up to her.

"Hey!!"" he said.

"Hey!!" Soomin repeated his words.

"Uhh ....." Again Yoongi struggled to find words and looking at Soomin, she was facing the same problem.

Both of them continued to share at each other, completely forgetting the fact that Soomin and running late and probably has to face detention.

"Thanks...for yesterday" Yoongi managed to speak as he start at his shoes not able to look up at soomin's face." It's fine" Soomin tried to smile.

Yoongi collected all of his courage and managed to speak again."Can we ...can we..umm you know talk?"

Soomin started to get nervous. What does he want to talk about? Oh no..did he found about her. She tried to reply as Yoongi kept looking at her."Now?"

"No no no, not now. Whenever you are free?"

"Uhh..how about today, after school?"

"Yeah, okay"

"Okay then, I'll call you" and the word slipped from Soomin's lips. Yoongi kept staring at her. Soomin corrected herself quickly, "I mean, I'll come to your house. You know, your house is just opposite. You know, right?"

Yoongi suppressed his smile as he watched Soomin tried to explain herself." I understand"he replied.

Soomin took a breath of relief and smiled." I should go"

"Yeah."

* * *

Yoongi plopped down on his bed. He felt relieved. He doesn't know why, but he felt good. It was the effect the beautiful voices girl had on him. Even with simple words, she managed to make him smile. He himself never knew such thing could happen. 

His happy daydream was disturbed by the sound of his phone. He quickly took his phone. It was Hoseok. 

"Hello?"

"Hyung" As always Hoseok's voice was extra cheerful"Have you thought about the performance?"

"Hoseok, I need some time to think. It has just been a day" Yoongi replied as he groaned.

"Come on, hyuuunnngg,pleeease"Yoongi can imagine Hoseok doing aegyo, trying to persuade Yoongi with his cute act.

"Ugghh, okay. But what's the concept? What are we gonna rap about?"

" That is something we need to talk about."Hoseok replied with a laugh."What? You gotta be kidding me." Yoongi couldn't help but let out a groan.

"We should meet up and discuss about it."Hoseok said.  "I don't think I have energy to move, hoseok. Let alone meet somewhere else."

"If that's the case, then Namjoon and I can come to your place. How about that?"Hoseok offered.

Eventhough he didn't want his house to invaded by a way too much happy horse and the god of destruction, he definitely doesn't want to leave his house. So he agreed at last.

 

* * *

Yoongi ate his ramyun like he really wanted to. He doesn't remember when was the last time he ate because he wanted to, but not to prevent himself from passing out. Namjoon and hoseok had already left after discussing about their topic for their performance. They had decided to talk about the expectations the society puts on youth and how their dreams are crushed by the weight of it.

Yoongi felt as if he was gonna perform about himself about his life. He let out a sigh as he got up after finishing his meal. He checked his phone. It was time for Soomin to return from school. He got out of his house so that Soomin could see him.

* * *

Soomin nervously bit her lips as she approached her house. What was she gonna talk with Yoongi. What does he wants to talk about? Does he recognise her? Does he know that she knows?

So many question clouded her mind.

She reached her house and she noticed Yoongi. He was sitting in his doorstep. His head hanging low and bobbing up and down, maybe he was listening to music. He raised to his and gave a small hint of smile as he noticed Soomin. Soomin waved at him and Yoongi returned the gesture. 

"Hey, I will change quickly and then we can talk. Is it okay?"Soomin asked.

"It's fine. You can take your time"  Yoongi replied as he took off his earphones.

Soomin smiled before going back to her house. How can this girl be so cheerful, when she looked so tired and drained out. School must be really tiring. He remembered how he hated school himself. How he desperately wanted to escape it.

Soomin returned quite fast, not wanting to make Yoongi wait.

"Let's go to the park. If it's okay with you." Yoongi offered nervously and Soomin replied with a nod.

* * *

Both of them looked everywhere else, trying their best to avoid each other, eventhough they were meeting to talk actually. Yoongi, being the one who asked to talk first, felt the responsibility to speak first. He knew what he wanted to talk about but he couldn't. He couldn't ask her straight either she is the one he is thinking or not. That would be awkward. 

Maybe he should start with normal conversation about school and stuff, but he himself knew that he is not much of a talker.

So being the blunt person he is, he decided to get to the point but from a different way.

"Hoseok said that you found me outside my house and I was pretty drunk."

"Yeah. You were drunk and..wounded"

"Yeah.Hoseok told me that I was bleeding because I fell want cut myself...accidentally"

Soomin looked at Yoongi after hearing his last word. Both of them knew that the cuts were made by Yoongi himself. "Thank for that,  for not telling the truth."

Soomin just nodded.

"Why were you saying sorry?"Soomin couldn't help but ask him.

Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "Sorry?"

"Yeah, when I found you drunk outside your house, you were saying sorry again and again." Soomin repeated herself. Yoongi kept looking at Soomin with surprise and confusion all over his face.

"You kept saying, I'm sorry Soomin" Soomin tried her best to say the last part in a low voice, but Yoongi still managed to hear it. "What?"
