Y/N: Why can't we call for someone? It isn't closing time yet, right?

Yoongi: That's the thing.

He looked over at the clock behind him.

Yoongi: It IS closing time.

It suddenly felt as if every last drop of hope had been lost, and that there was truly nothing left to do to get out of this mess.

"There's no way...-" I shook my head and also turned to look up at the clock on the wall. Turns out what he was saying was correct, it IS closing time. That means no one else is going to be inside the building in a matter of minutes.

The thought of us being left alone in here for the rest of the night terrified me, to say the least. Is that really what was going to happen?

It didn't seem like there was anything else left to do to get us both out of this situation but one thing I know is that I'm never going to be speaking to DoHee again after the stunt she pulled. The stunt that got us into this situation in the first place. What was she thinking?

"How are we getting out of here at this time?!" I was desperate for an answer and he didn't know what to say either. Not even he knew.

That's the part where I gave up hope. If DoHee had already left the building then there is nothing to do anymore. If not even the manager knew what to do then how would anyone know what to do at a moment like this?

"I feel like she planned this and wanted to pull a stupid prank on us. That's something she would do and it always ended badly." He began and walked over to the desk and sat down on the chair hopelessly.

"Why at a time like this is what I want to know!" He sighed in despair and rested his chin on his hand.

"I don't know, it's your sister. Surely you should know why." I argued and placed both of my hands on my waist.

He then looked at me like I was stupid and tilted his head to the side along with a defeated sigh. "Do you think I can read her? I don't understand her most of the time even though I've known her for all of my life. I can never predict her so how can I predict this?"

"Hmp. Fine." I looked away from him and crossed my arms.

Along with a dead silence and the only sounds being heard was the wind blowing out of the window, I started to regret even coming here in the first place. Maybe these things won't happen.

"Why are you angry now?" He questioned, and from his tone, I could tell he was frustrated.

Is he being serious?

"I'm mad because I'm stuck in here. Why are you not taking this more seriously than you are?" It was a genuine question, because why isn't he taking this seriously when in reality we're trapped inside of this room for who knows how long?

"Because we're trapped in here until opening time tomorrow. I already accepted it and it seems like a certain someone hasn't yet." He spoke with a sarcastic tone that seemed as if he were poking fun at me.

"You could at least try. How would you know?" Although he had already told me not once but twice that we were stuck in here, a part of me didn't want to accept it and wanted to hold that there was still a way out of this Sidon a little earlier than opening time.
Perhaps angering each other in a situation like this wouldn't be beneficial for both of us.

"Of course, I would know. There's a lock on the door that I don't have the key for. Only DoHee has the key, and without the key, we are trapped in here so that's it." He raised a brow, causing me to feel dumb.

Such a simple explanation that rendered me silent. It was obvious, without the key. Why did I even ask and make a fool of myself?
Now I'm going to look like an idiot in front of him.

He is the last person that I would want to think badly of me.

Now I've painted a picture inside of his head that I'm a clueless idiot who doesn't deserve a workplace like this.

"Is something wrong-"

"It doesn't matter." I walked away into the corner of the room and sat down on one of the loveseats. I didn't want to speak to him right now. I need a moment before engaging in any more conversations with him.

It was silent, no one was saying anything and it felt peaceful for a little while. With only the sound of the wind hitting the window and the sound of sweet silence coursing through my ears. Silence was preferred in this situation, however, it wouldn't last too long until someone eventually said something.

Although it was awkward, the silence and peacefulness overpowered the awkwardness. After a while, it felt like I was the only person in the room, upon realizing there was someone else in there with me.

We were trying to keep our distance due to the awkwardness between us. But that probably won't last too long.

That's when the moment of peace left because a few seconds later he sat beside me and crossed his arms. He refused to make eye contact and just quietly sat there without any words to speak.

I thought he was annoyed with me. So why did he come even closer and engage in more drama?

I guess he's another person I can't predict.

Now that I realize it, we met each other 1 month ago but yet we have never had a proper conversation. Every time was interrupted by someone. Not that I want to, but it would be interesting to find out more about him. He's too strange to ignore.

Hopefully, it can change and we can get rid of the awkwardness between us.

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*

Time went by and not quickly. It felt like time was going by slower with each second that passed. So eventually we began speaking with one another and it became interesting to hear about random things that happened that he told me all about.

There wasn't anything left to do apart from eventually giving in and interacting with each other. It felt reasonable at a time like this.

I don't know how we got to this point, but it happened. I don't know if I'm happy it did, or I'm not. It's confusing. At least he's making this whole thing less boring and indeed entertaining.

I hate to admit it, but he's a lot more chill than I thought. In my mind, he was a tough and strict workaholic that you could barely have a normal conversation with without him taking it to heart, but he's the complete opposite.

"Yeah, and then-" Out of nowhere a thunderstorm hit and the deafening sound of lightning was enough for you to flinch in shock and end up even closer to Yoongi than you would've liked to be.

It seemed to have shocked the both of you but you were affected more than Yoongi was.
For a few moments, it was silent and you hadn't processed what happened for a while, but when you did you panicked and moved away from it as quickly as possible.

"Hey, are you okay?" Yoongi hesitantly held his hand out and you quickly nodded your head, excusing the question.
"I'm fine." You spoke closer to a whisper, but loud enough for him to hear it. The last thing you need is to show weakness in front of him.

It was silent again. The sweet sounds of silence were enough to make you cave in your thoughts again. You didn't know why you were so emotional all of a sudden, nothing in your life had caused this sudden chain of emotions so the confusion was more than ever.

It seemed the both of you didn't want to say anything to each other, so it led to silence, and not a sound from anywhere was to be heard.
Neither did you have any intention to speak and start a useless conversation that wouldn't benefit anyone, so it was to be left in silence.

It was a good thing. You didn't need any more useless drama in your life. It was worthless. You could be spending your time doing something more useful and productive, but here you are,
spending your time in situations like these.

This isn't going to go well.
