MY Sweet Interlude

18- Next Time

It was past ten when Aliya got into her bed. Their group chat was still active as the boys planned the trip at the lake house  She noticed Taehyung actively participating, he said Jia was having a nap so they were not going out until later. She smiled as she read everyone's comments and bickering. When Yoongi's picture appeared showing he's seen the messages, the conversation shifted to him.

Finally, where were you? Don't tell me you were still with Mari the whole time? That was from Jin.

Wait, how did you even know that when you're not even here? Jimin asked.

Hoseok told me.

I told you not to tell anyone. Jimin told Hoseok.

Sorry...Can't hold back your tongue can you? Hoseok then told Jin.

I'm tired, so better cut out that bullshit. Yoongi replied.

Just like that, the topic changed and they went back to planning their trip again. Aliya smiled because everyone knows no one should try to get on Yoongi's bad side when he is tired. Just then, her doorbell rang. She scowled because no one would ring her doorbell at this hour except for two people, one was Jimin who lives a few floors from her and Taehyung who comes and go when he wants to. Perhaps Jimin is back so that he can grab some food, he doesn't like cooking food.  She looked at the doorbell monitor and saw Yoongi standing in front of her door. Why is he here? He said he's tired, she told herself.

Aliya opens the door and there he is looking tired as he said he was. "Is there any food left?" He asked.

"Good evening to you too Mr. Min. Yes, there are lots of food. Come on in and I'll heat them up for you." She watched him as he dropped the bag he was carrying on the floor before slumping on her couch, his right hand massaging his temples. 

"Tough day?" She asks and he grunted in reply. Ok, so it was a tough day. Aliya called him as soon as the food was ready, he takes off his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt while walking towards the dining table . He sat on the chair and looked at her. 

"Thanks." He said before shifting his attention to the food she set before him.

Aliya watched as he ate hungrily. She is used to hosting her male friends at her place, however, having Yoongi around is something she is still getting used to. Waking up with him next to her is quite new as well. She isn't uncomfortable, but she didn't really know her way around this hooking up thing. She decided to just go along to whatever is happening and treat him just like she would with her friends.

 "Didn't you eat after your lunch meeting?" She asked as she watched him devour the food.

He shook his head. 

"Too many things to do." He paused and looked up at her. "You can join me."

Aliya shook her head. "Nah, I'm fine. I am still stuffed from eating earlier." She answered before asking if he would like a can of beer. Yoongi nodded at her with a smile which she doesn't see that often. Seeing it now, she wished that he'd smile at her more, instead of the smirks she often sees from him. She pops up the tab and sets the drink in front of him. He swooped it and took a long gulp before going back to eating. Aliya filled him in about what happened earlier that night and their plans for the lake trip.

"Are you going?" He asks her.

Aliya shrugged before replenishing the can he finished. "Yeah, I mean why not? Are you going?"

"Not sure. I might be tied up with work with this new project." He paused before he asks. "You're ok with being with your bestfriend and his wife?"
