Lately, Yuri has been spending a lot of time in her cozy bedroom. Studying, resting, and just hiding from the world. It was her safe place, a confined room, so comfortable like a bear hug giving her the feeling of utter solace.

Here she was again, studying for the upcoming powers exam as the moon shined through her window and the night sky embraced her whole. It was difficult, because she had no clue how to properly study for something so important and complicated. How does books and notes help her learn control? It doesn't. It shouldn't. But Yuri didn't know what else to do.

She was drifting off into space, her eyes peering on the tiny letters of the old textbook in front of her as her mind clouded with numberless scenarios containing pictures of him.

He kissed her. She couldn't believe it.

Taehyung; the boy who she had spent almost her entire life completely loathing, had mustered the courage to completely change their relationship. To completely steer it in different direction. This simple action changed everything.

It's only been a full day since their kiss yesterday and despite seeing each other in their P.E. class along with their elemental course, they hadn't talked much. The silence was bothering her a tiny bit, but Yuri knew he was probably doing it solely because he didn't want other people to begin to suspect they had something going on.

What is it they had going on anyway?

She couldn't believe she was saying this to herself as an evident blush rose to her cheeks, but she missed him. One kiss and she was completely under his captivating spell; completely and foolishly devoted to the boy.

She liked him so much, she couldn't believe it. Out of everybody, it was ultimately him. Her older brothers best friend, the boy she has argued with more than anyone in her life. He's been around forever, Yuri never expected she'd be kissing him one day.

As if he had sense her constantly thinking about him, her phone sitting beside the textbooks on her desk suddenly illuminates, buzzing continuously as Taehyung's contact name surfaced. She grinned to herself, taking consideration of the contact name she had given him and how she had yet to change it before making a mental note to rename him into something much more fitting.

Her fingers to go lazily grab her phone, immediately accepting his call before bringing the device to her ear. "Hello?" Her voice quiet.

"Hi, Yuri." Is all he says, his voice clearly just as quiet.

"Hi, Taehyung." She echos, her grin only growing as her fingers go to playfully fiddle with her pencil sitting on her desk as she tapped the eraser bud onto the wooden surface.
