Loving Min Yoongi: How To Love Him

Chapter 44

They guys had finally convinced Yoongi to come out with them Friday night. Alex would be back the next evening, and they were all anxious for her to get back. Yoongi was getting cranky and they were ready for him to be in a better mood. 

They headed out to a small local bar. They ordered several bottles of Soju and beer, and immediately started pouring drinks and handing them to  Yoongi. 

"Geez guys, why are you trying to get me drunk? I'm not the only one drinking am I?" He looked down at the three glasses they had put in front of him.

"No Hyung, we just wanted to relax and hang for a night. You've been hiding in the studio all this time, so we thought you needed to get out." Jimin took a drink of his somaek.

Yoongi shrugged his shoulders and downed the first glass, then reached for the second. He drank that one a bit slower, but was on to his third glass before the others had finished their first. Namjoon looked at the others and raised his eyebrows. "Hyung, what's up? I know you've got something brewing in that brain of yours."

Yoongi could already feel the buzz and poured himself another somaek. He was quiet for a few minutes, then the flood gates opened. "I'm sorry I've been avoiding everyone. I thought I had beaten that habit by now. I can't stop thinking about Alex."

"We know, that's not a surprise. What we want to know is, what about her are you thinking of?" Tae took a sip of his wine while he waited for Yoongi to answer.

Yoongi shrugged his shoulders, "Everything . . . . I like her, and even though I was fighting my feelings, I think I've really fallen for her. I want to ask her out, but I don't know how, or if she'll respond in a good way. I feel like a bumbling teenager when I'm around her."

The guys all exchanged smiles around the table. Their Yoongi, their grandpa, was lacking confidence. It was cute seeing him such a mess. RM leaned his elbows on the table, "Yoongi, you have nothing to worry about. Ask her out. It will go better than you think."

"But, how do you know? What if I'm not enough for her, what if she just sees me as some idol she works with? What if I have all these feelings for her and she doesn't feel the same way back?" He downed another glass and poured another.

The guys exchanged worried glances. Obviously Yoongi had not talked very deeply with Alex about his feelings, or hers. Otherwise he wouldn't be questioning everything. Jin leaned on the table as he spoke to Yoongi, "Have you still not talked to each other about how you feel?"

Yoongi gave him a hesitant smile, "Not exactly. I almost told her how I felt when we were in Bangkok, but then I chickened out." He traced the rim of his glass with his finger. "But, we have had some good moments where I'm pretty sure she understands I like her. I mean, especially after I gave her that bracelet and kissed her at the Christmas dinner."

All of the guys froze with looks of shock on their faces. Jimin looked at JK then at Yoongi, "Hyung, you bought her a bracelet?! And you kissed her?!"

"Shhh!" Yoongi looked around to make sure no one was listening, he lowered his voice as he continued. "Yes, I kissed her, and she actually kissed me again right after that." He gave them a cocky grin. "You could say it was pretty serious." He leaned back in his chair and slung his arm over the back of it.

Jin was laughing at Yoongi's laid back attitude, considering just a few seconds ago he sounded like a whiny kid who got the wrong flavored ice cream. "What bracelet did you get her?"

Yoongi explained the bracelet and the charms, and the meanings behind each one. The guys all sat back in their chairs in unison and exclaimed, "OH! Yeah, that's good." Yoongi nodded his head in agreement, "You see?! So I did sort of tell her how I feel. Sorta."
