"The window seat would feel better if you like" she offered. She could see in his eyes that he was really liking the view. "He doesn't like being around a stranger when he wakes up" he answered pointing to the person by his side [That's Jin]. "Then exchange seats with this guy" she said pointing at Yoongi who was fast asleep. "Waking him up without getting beaten up isn't possible" Taehyung shrugged. "Let me" she said. "Hey don't-" he said as she got up and tapped Yoongi's shoulder. He closed his eyes anticipating the curses. "Nugu-" Yoongi started to say but stopped when he saw a stranger in front of him. " Can you switch seats?" she whispered. "With?" he asked softly scrunching his eyebrows. "The one by your side" she pointed at Taehyung who was astonished to see Yoongi speak so softly.
Yoongi just got up from his seat and looked at her face blankly, unaware to how much the distance between them had reduced to. The poor girl got shy and backed away. "Move" he whispered turning to Taehyung who slid over into Yoongi's spot. Yoongi plopped down in Taehyungs seat and fell asleep again or so the other two thought. "How did you do that?" Taehyung asked out of curiosity. "Do what?" meera asked equally confused.
"How did you not get him angry? He screams the hell out of us when we wake him up" he pointed. "One because I'm a girl moreover a stranger and Secondly, that's a psychological trick." she said holding up two fingers. "Tell me about it" he asked.
"When you are talking to someone, if you lower your volume or whisper, the person will automatically lower his own volume to suit your pitch or whisper back, even if he doesn't know why you suddenly whispered. It works best in argument situations, explanations, lecture or controlling others when somebody is getting louder than you like. You lower your volume and he has to climb down. We automatically gain authority and control over the person or persons who were speaking loudly. Largely also because the loud person knows only being loud and gets terribly confused when he has to lower his volume. (He uses loud volume as his strength.) This kinda disarms him and that's where you gain grounds." she explained.
"Woah where do you learn this from?" he asked. "Well the friend I'm going to visit, wants to be a psychologist so she keeps telling me about little tricks every now and then." she answered. " What's your name?" he asked. "Meera. How about you?" she asked instead. "Theodore. Theo for short" he smiled.
A/N: Theodore is Taehyung's english name.
"Where are you going to?" she asked fully invested into the conversation. " Mum-bai. You?" he said unsure if his pronunciation was correct. " A place nearby Mumbai called Lonavala. Here for the tourism?" she asked. " A bit of work and tourism" he answered. " Well if you are touring, then Lonavala is your spot. It's known for it's scenic beauty." she said. "I will make a mental note of it" he said.
"You forgot your falsetto" she pointed out. "What falsetto?" he asked. "The way you changed your voice when you first spoke up" she answered. "I did?" he said acting unaware. "Yes you did" she agreed. "Well maybe subconsciously" he shrugged it off. She smiled as she leaned back into the seat.
She felt a familiar head on her shoulder. She looked at Taehyung. "Theo? Your friend" she said. "How about we switch seats? He really likes to cuddle up to anyone or thing when he sleeps. "Taehyung suggested getting up. "Sure" she said getting up to switch seats. But, Taehyung was new to standing on the rushing train, he tripped himself along with her as they rolled until Jungkook's seat. They looked each other in the eye with Meera on top of him and burst out laughing. She got off of him and offered him a hand to get up which he gladly accepted after he finished rolling on the floor laughing. They sat on their exchanged seats. "This isn't so bad" she thought to herself.
