Coffee and Violets ~ Yoongi x Reader

Chapter Four - I'm Not Going

"Ugh, I'm just so sick of hearing the same music here all the time. I try to play lofi, but it gets repetitive. I try to play mainstream music, but it's too distracting. I need something to fit the cafe's cozy vibe, you know?" I complain to Hoseok.

He sips on his coffee, "Have you tried just having silence? And not playing music?"

"I have, but it makes the front of house so uncomfortable. Sometimes a group will stop talking and it's just silent. I don't want it to be awkward!"

"Hmm," He pauses, thinking through my problem, "Yoongi's actually really good with music. Have you thought about talking through it with him?"

"No way!" You spit out before you had the time to think. "He'd probably judge me or something... I hardly know him! I'll be fine, I just wanted to rant for a bit."

Hoseok doesn't seem to be listening, but instead staring at his phone. Scrolling through things before eventually bringing the phone to his ear and talking. Oh gosh, what is he doing now?

"Hey, Yoongi?"

"..."

"Yeah I'm just calling to ask you a favor"

"...."

"Well I'm talking to Y/N right now! It's easier to just call"

"..."

"Yeah, she needs new music for her cafe and was wondering if you could help"

"No I wasn't! Stop it! I'm not meeting up with him!" You angrily whisper as he continues to ignore you.

"Great! Then I'll send you the address. How does this Friday sound?" He puts a hand to the phone and whispers to you, "You're free Friday, right?"

"No, I am not! I'm not going!"

"Yep she'll be there!"

"..."

"Sounds good." He hangs up the phone and turns to you, smiling.

"What the hell was that?" you burst out yelling at him.

"He said he'll be there! He can help you with your problem. Isn't that great?"

"No. It most certainly is NOT great. I did not agree to this!" you sneered.

"Why are you so against this? You guys are friends. Unless..." He says.

"Unless? Unless what?" You say, calming down a little.

"Do you like Yoongi?" He questions, a smirk forming on his face.

You pause, breathless. I don't want to lie to him, but I also don't trust he'll keep it a secret. Yes, I like Yoongi, who wouldn't? That doesn't mean I want to go on a 'date' with him and risk completely embarrassing myself.

"You do!" He yells out, "You totally do! You paused!"

"Fine. I like him. Now what? This whole interaction is just going to be an embarrassing reminder that I'm nowhere near his type and that he will never like me."

Hoseok just laughs across from you, "I wouldn't be so sure about that."

"What do you mean?" you ask.

"Have you seen the way he looks at you? Maybe you aren't around him enough to know, but he doesn't act like that around just anyone."

"Act like what?" you ask, beginning to feel at least a bit hopeful. Sure, it's not true, but you still enjoy fantasizing a bit.

"like- smiling and stuff. It took forever to get him to run the shop with me, and he still refuses to talk to the customers. He mainly just puts together the bouquets and writes the poetry on the labels."

So he's the one that writes those... you think to yourself. "That doesn't mean he likes me, that's just how he acts around friends." You argue. Honestly though, you're just fishing. You want to hear more about how he likes you, even if it isn't true.

"Ugh. I'm done trying to convince you, Y/N. If you don't believe me, fine, but you are going to that date this Friday."

"Where even is it?"

" _____ Restaurant." He informs you.

[AUTHOR NOTE: Sorry I don't know what to call the restaurant ._. just name it whatever you want]

"WHAT? THAT PLACE IS SO FANCY, AND EXPENSIVE?? I CAN'T AFFORD THAT." You yell.

"Don't worry, Yoongi will pay." He says.

"I don't want that! What if he can't afford it either? I'm sure you don't make that much money running a flower shop."

"Are you calling us poor?"

"No no, and it's fine if you are it's just... I don't want to put him in an uncomfortable position."

"Don't worry about that Y/N. Just be there this Friday, and have a good time! You never know what could happen..." He smiles suspiciously.
