Last Summer (K.TH)

Chapter 8

Has anything ever went the way Jaemi wanted to? No. Never. That is why this moment was not a surprise to her at all. The hint of embarrassment that creeped onto her face was indescribable. She felt so... I don't even know, to be honest.

Jaemi excuses herself from Taehyung, cursing under her breath as she made way towards the door. She tried to get a look from the peephole, and surprisingly enough, it was Yoongi.

What is he doing here?

She opens the door and looks at him, puzzled. Yoongi was unusually dressed up, holding a small flower in his hands. Jaemi frowned at the sight. Even though this was extremely not like Yoongi, she proceeds to greet him as usual.

"Hey. Come in." She opens the door fully for him to enter. As he enters, a light blush makes way to his face.

Today is the day.

Today is the day when Yoongi has dared to confess his love to Jaemi.

Today is the day when he'll ask her to be his.

Today...is the day.

After Jungkook boasted in front of him countless times about how he asked Jiyoung out, Yoongi couldn't help but feel confident in confessing. His heart continued to swing dizzily as he made way into her apartment. He felt like he got this.

But oh boy, he was about to get disappointed.

Yoongi turned to look at Jaemi, who was peering at him with innocent orbs. She looked so naive and pure that he just wanted to hug her tight and never let go. He wanted to kiss her and tell her how badly he has waited for this moment to come. He wanted to make her feel loved and appreciated. He wanted to love her.

So, he gathered all the courage inside him and spoke up, "Hey. I, um, well... I brought you this flower."

Jaemi looked at his hands and there sat a beautiful yellow flower, caged between Yoongi's fingers. She couldn't help but be reminded of the buckwheat flowers that Taehyung gave her and she blushes instantly.

Taking the flower from him, Jaemi smiled. "It's really pretty. Thank you."

Something about the way she does things really mesmerized Yoongi. He wanted her to keep doing the adorable things she does, like blushing instantly without a reason or smiling like an idiot sometimes. He took a deep breath in, preparing himself to say the next words that would come out of his mouth when-

"Jaemi?" A deep voice interrupts his train of thoughts and Yoongi turns to look at the owner of the voice.

"Taehyung? What are you doing here?" Yoongi asks, voice coming out rather rude.

 "Jaemi forgot her scarf at school so I decided to return it." Taehyung replies, totally leaving that whole mental-breakdown-and-almost-kissing-parts aside.

"Oh." Yoongi's voice sounded dry as he turned to look at Jaemi again.

"Well, um, I'll take my leave then I guess." Clearing his throat, Yoongi states.

He doesn't wanna confess in front of someone. Yoongi wants his confession to be really personal and heart felt, so maybe he should try next time.

"Is that all you came for? To give me this flower?" Jaemi cocked her head to the side, confusion painting her innocent face.

"Y-yeah. It, uh, reminded me of you, so..." Yoongi said.

After saying another goodbye, Yoongi leaves her apartment. He mentally notes to check whether someone else is there or not when he confesses to Jaemi again. He sighed, walking down the road.
