Say you love me

•THREE•

The next couple of months is like a blur. Recording and mixing for her songs has begun. She's happy the process has started and tries to be at BigHit as much as possible between classes to oversee the process of her songs coming to life. Yoongi has been amazing explaining everything and has made sure she's involved with the final say for everything. They have begun recording the songs and she's in awe hearing them. "Jesus Heri, this is like the tenth time you've cried. They're just fucking songs." He has always hated seeing her happy or sad cry, it didn't matter. It made him uncomfortable and anxious. She glares at him before looking back at the woman in the sound room singing. "She's got an amazing voice. And they're my babies, remember? I never expected this to happen." He grumbles, saying "I don't know why, I've told you a hundred times your songs were good." She smiles looking over at him but her smile falls some when she notices something. Yoongi is smiling. It's small but it's there. And it's not toward her. She looks back to the sound room and sees Adora smiling at him. She doesn't like it. She immediately feels anxious and on guard knowing what these smiles mean. But she plays it off.

She nudges Yoongi's side to get his attention and narrows her eyes at him with a smirk. He narrows his right back. "What?" "You like her" she states bluntly. He scoffs but he looks away, it's a sure sign he's trying to hide from her. "Don't be fucking stupid Heri." She ignores the sting in her chest and bumps his side with hers. "You do! Oh my god!" She's pointing now so he quickly turns and grabs her finger, twisting it down while glaring at her. "Shut the fuck up" he whisper growls while she winces in pain. She rips her finger from his grasp and glares right back. She shakes her finger as she pouts. "That hurt" she whines. "Then don't make me do it" he snips before looking down at the soundboard, trying to not appear like he was watching Adora. She shakes her finger more before he sighs and then sits up straight and turns back to her. He grabs her finger and inspects it. "You ok?" She pulls her hand from him still pouting. "You hurt me" she mumbles. "Sorry. I didn't mean it." His voice was soft and regretful. "It's alright." "Sure you're ok?" She smiles small and nods. Then her smile grows and she pushes her finger to his face. "Kiss it" she says to which he scoffs and shoves her away softly. "Fuck I will" he mumbles. She pouts playfully but they both go back to watching the recording.

It's around 8:30pm when recording finishes for the day. Heri has been watching Yoongi and Adora interact all day and it both bothers her and she finds it cute. Yoongi obviously has a thing for her and she definitely has one back. The flirting is subtle but it's definitely there. "I'm tired" Heri whines while she sits and he works. "Then go home" he flatly says, his eyes glued to the computer screen. She stomps and bounces in her seat next to him. "Yoongs" she whines more. He sighs but doesn't say anything and keeps working. "I can drop you home if you want." She turns to see Adora standing there with a genuine smile. This catches Yoongi's attention and he stops working to turn his chair toward her. "I can take her" he softly says. "It's not a problem, I'm done anyway. My voice is roached" she giggles. Yoongi chuckles and it makes Heri want to gag. "Thanks, I really appreciate it." Heri watches him smile at Adora and it bothers her, but she can't show it. He then turns back to the screen without saying anything else to her and it kind of hurts her feelings. "See ya later twat" she scoffs and he hums replying, "later cunt muffin." Heri smirks at this offensive remark, knowing it's his love language.

The drive was quiet but comfortable. Adora finally sparks a conversation. "So, I hear you and Yoongi have been best friends since grade school?" Heri looks over and smiles. "Middle school but yeah. I moved to Daegu and the kids in our school weren't exactly, welcoming. I got picked on a lot and he stuck up for me. He was my only friend for a long time. We've stayed close and moved to Seoul after graduation, he came to BigHit and I started college. He's my person." Adora smiles. "That's cool. I've heard him talk about you. But I have a question." "Hm?" Heri hums. "Is he....single?" Heri laughs even though she feels that sting in her chest. "Yeah, he's single. He's a bit...well, he's like a loner." Adora laughs understanding. "I see that." Heri looks at her and asks, "are you interested?" Adora laughs again. "Yeah...I am. I've been interested for over a year actually." Heri looks at her surprised. "He's a genius as a producer, I could sit for hours watching him work. He's an amazing songwriter too. I love how into his craft he is." Heri nods in agreement. "He's not bad to look at either" she says as she looks over at Heri. "Did you offer to bring me home hoping I'd talk you up to him? Like get on my good side?" Adora looks startled at her. "No! I swear that wasn't why Heri. I just didn't want him to have to leave if he didn't want to. You seem nice too and I don't have many girl friends. I'm in love with your songs and hoped we could become friends. I'm sorry if I've given you the wrong idea, I should have never asked about Yoongi."
