───── ❝  YAH! WHO TOLD
YOU THAT?!  ❞ ─────

ISEUL'S BIRTHDAY WAS HERE.

The group had been practicing nonstop, the same method repeating over and over again. Waking up, practice, eating and sleeping.

But it was just getting harder. Seokjin was not living in the dorm with the others so Iseul didn't know of the surprise he was planning with the other boys.

" I don't know why we have to throw a party?! " Yoongi groaned, " I could sleep. " Jin chuckled, shaking his head.

" Come on, she won't turn 17 again and she just graduated high school early! " He beamed, excitement written over his face.

Namjoon and Hoseok agreed, wanting to surprise Iseul too and Yoongi huffed,
" Fine. Don't expect me to do the work. I'll just keep quiet. "

" Thanks, hyung!!! "

𝄥𝄞────────── 𝄇

Iseul found it wierd that Jin didn't look very excited. She recalled him being hyper energetic in past years whenever it was her birthday. She didn't blame the others knowing they wouldn't know of her birthday yet.

Brushing it off thinking he's just busy practicing, she exited the studio and headed back to the dorms after another tiring day, a sigh escaped her lips.

Grinning as her mother's text popped up, she texted back and forth as she walked back. A yelp escaped her lips as a hooded figure stopped infront of her.

As she realised it was Yoongi, she sighed out. " Ah! You startled me! Again! "

Yoongi scratched the back of his head in annoyance. " Are you hungry? "
Iseul raised an eyebrow, " You're asking me that? "

She mused, crossing her arms with a sheepish grin. Yoongi sighed, giving her a plain look.

" Okay, okay. Yeah, a little bit. " She looked around, her eyes litting up as she saw the same stall from weeks ago.

Yoongi, upon noticing it, bit back a laugh at how excited she looked and grabbed her sleeve, tugging her across the street. " Fine, buy whatever you want. I'll pay. "

Iseul hummed. Although she wasn't hungry at all, she could make up some space in her stomach to eat the food Yoongi buys her. Maybe it'd finally make him drop the formality if she spends some time with him?

She ordered a serving of ramen again, smiling at the lady before she took a small step closer, " Why are you buying me food though? "She whispered, her eyes wide. " Are you going to poison me? "

" Damn it, " Yoongi said plainly, " How did you find out? "

Iseul blinked, taken aback. " W-What? I thought I wasn't that annoying. I won't ask you to eat ramen with me again if that's what this is about—"

" Yah, " Yoongi cut her off, clicking his tongue as he tried to stop his lips from stretching at her wide eyes, " I was joking. Just eat. "

Iseul sighed, patting her chest. " Wah, I actually thought you were serious. " She grabbed the chopsticks, thanking the stall lady before she went to sit by the bench.

" But you didn't answer me, Yoongi-ssi. Why are you buying me food? "

Yoongi bit the inside of his cheek. What was he supposed to tell her now? Jin had specifically told him they atleast needed another hour back at the dorm to decorate.

" Do I need to answer? No. " He poked her forehead, " Eat. "

Pouting, she resumed eating, giving him a weird look as to why he wasn't sitting down beside her. " What? "

" Why don't you sit? The bench is
like.... " She waved her hand, " This
big! "

Yoongi sighed in annoyance, wondering if she ever stopped talking.
" Goodness, fine. " He huffed, pushing his hands in his pockets as he plopped down.

Iseul nodded, deciding to ignore the fact that he took the far edge of the bench to sit and resumed eating.

" Do you really not like ramen? That's kinda impossible—"

Yoongi poked his tongue to the side of his cheek, " Don't go around asking guys to eat ramen with you, alright? "

Iseul blinked, " Why? Do you really not like it? "

Groaning, he ran a hand through his hair, tugging at them slightly. " Just.... don't. Do I need to explain myself? "

Iseul bit her lower lip, sort of intimidated by his hardened glare,
" Okay.... I won't. "

After the girl ate, the two started walking back towards the building and Yoongi was walking at an extremely slow pace that Iseul had to wait for him occasionly.

" Yoongi-ssi. "

He simply ignored it, causing the girl to pout slightly before she slightly poked his arm.

" What? "

" Can I call you something other than
Yoongi-ssi?! "

" Why? " He mused, raising an eyebrow, " What made you think that? " Huffing, she crossed her arms and shook her head.

It's been months since I know him and he's still the same— she sighed, checking her phone.

" Oh, it's almost midnight! Can you please walk faster? "

" Yah, I'm older than you. Don't tell me what to do. "

He stubbornly stopped and Iseul frowned, " Er... okay. How about I go home and you follow your pace? "

She smiled awkwardly, turning on her heels and started speed-walking towards the building that was nearing.

Yoongi cursed, counting the minutes he needed to keep her out for and jogged, catching up to her by the end of the stairs. " I can't believe you're being so rude right now. "

" W-What did I do? " She panicked, " I didn't even—is it because I didn't share the food? "

Yoongi sighed, stopping infront of her and sneakily glancing at his screen. Two more minutes, he could do with that.

" What did you do? You're asking me that? " He squinted his eyes, stepping closer. Widening her eyes, she ended up leaning against the wall as she racked her brain to think if she said something.

" I wouldn't dare. " She chuckled nervously, " How about we go in? "

Shrugging, he stepped back and watched as she immediately dashed towards the door, heading inside.

Rolling his eyes, he followed soon enough to hear the confettis going off and a surprised yelp from Iseul.

" Aish, don't ever tell me to do that again. " He breathed out, nudging Namjoon who snickered. " Hyung, did she ask you to eat ramen with her again? "

" YAH! WHO TOLD YOU THAT?! "
