"It was today? How did it go?" Jungkook asked me on the phone as I walked down the street.

I was on the way from the train to the hotel that Yoongi was staying at, Jungkook stayed after school today to catch up on work he missed this week. He was referring to my presentation about Juliet. Since it was Friday, it was my day to present. "It went alright. Not as good as I wanted it to but I think I probably got a good grade."

"Oh, good." He said, I could hear his genuine joy for me through the phone. "Was Taehyung still not there?"

"No." I didn't even have to try to ignore Taehyung because he missed class every day this week. I knew Jungkook was going to bring him up because I filled him in every other day this week.

"Are you in Brooklyn yet?"

"Yeah. The ride didn't feel so long." I said honestly,. I hadn't been on a train other than the subway since before coming here and I forgot how fast you get places.

"What are you and Yoongi doing?"

I didn't actually know, we had only said we wanted to catch up. "Probably grabbing a drink. Maybe dinner."

"Well, don't do anything stupid." Jungkook said and meant it.

I just laughed and agreed, telling him I was coming home tonight and to keep an eye out for me. I hung up after we said our I love you's and I kept an eye out for Yoongi who said he was grabbing a smoke outside.

When I spotted him leaned against the brick wall of the hotel I had to cross the road. He spotted me halfway and blew out he smoke as he waved. He pulled me into a hug when I got to him and even though I didn't really want one I just accepted it.

"You look good, Joey." Yoongi said.

I softly smiled to him. "Thanks. You got more tattoos?"

I pointed up towards his neck that had something in Korean coming from his ear down to where his black sweatshirt started. "Yeah, I finished my back, too."

He put the cigarette out against the wall and flicked the bud with his fingers, taking the lead to walk towards the hotel entrance. I stopped him. "We should go out. It's a Friday night."

"Eh, okay. Do you have a place in mind?" He stopped so I could answer.

I nodded my head and began leading the way this time. "There's a place close to here that Jude loves. Let's go there."

"Aight." Yoongi said and as we walked the short distance he told me about how my old school was doing, all of my friends from back home were doing really good. He didn't ask me about Jungkook so I didn't tell him anything.

He put his second drink down on the bar, looking at me. "So, are you seeing anyone here?"

"No." I said and took a small sip of my first drink. I wasn't trying to get drunk tonight but I did want to drink a little bit. "I've been busy with dance and school."

I didn't really tell the truth but Yoongi was never one to pick up on me lying. "Hows that been?"

"It's good." I realized that this was a mistake to come here. I had no business seeing Yoongi especially after everything we had been through and it was sad of me to come just because I thought it would prove something to Taehyung who I hadn't even talked to since the party earlier this week.

"How's your family?" He ordered another drink and I spun around the straw in mine.

I looked at my drink as the ice swirled around, then took a tiny sip. "They're good. It's the twins birthday soon."
