3 Years Earlier
19-Years-Old


Yoongi waited in the small bar, constantly checking his phone. He was waiting to hear from Aera to see how her date with Hye had gone. He could've waited at his dorm, but he wanted to hear about it from Aera first. Her opinion, after all, was the one that mattered to him most.

The longer it took, the more anxious Yoongi got. This was not just Aera's first date with Hye; this was her first date ever, and he was so hoping that it was going well.

It took another hour before he finally got the much awaited text.

Aera I'm home.

Yoongi Come to the bar near that cafe we like.

Aera What? Why?

Yoongi Cause that's where I am.

Aera Why are you at a bar? Go home, weirdo.

Yoongi And hear about it from Hye? No thanks. I'm waiting for you.

Aera Ah, I see. Okay, I'll come, but no getting drunk.

Yoongi Okay, promise.

Yoongi shook his head with a chuckle. He had no doubt that they'd get at least a bit tipsy. And he knew that, in the back of her mind, Aera knew that as well.

Yoongi ordered himself another whiskey, and one of Aera's favorite beers as he waited for her. It took about 15 minutes, but she eventually turned up.

She joined him at the bar and smiled at her beer. "Thanks," she said.

"Cut the niceties, and tell me about the date."

Aera laughed out loud. "Right to the point, eh?"

"I'm waiting."

"It went really well," Aera said, a light blush creeping across her cheeks. Yoongi sighed in relief.

"Elaborate, please," he insisted.

"He was a gentleman," she explained. "Held the door open for me, let me order dinner first, walked me back to my dorm."

"And?"

"Jesus, Yoongs, you're relentless!"

"I have to go home and see him tonight! I need all the reasons to not beat him up!"

Aera laughed loudly. "You have no reason to, I promise!"

"Explain, then!"

Aera shook her head. "Good lord, Yoongs. Okay, so he picked me up from my dorm, then drove us to the restaurant. We had a really good time chatting and laughing over dinner. He's quite witty! Then we stopped at a bar near the restaurant for a couple of drinks. We talked some more, just getting to know each other. Then, he drove back to campus and walked me to my dorm."

"And..."

Aera rolled her eyes. "And he kissed me."

"Huzzah!" Yoongi threw his hands over his head and cheered. "Wait," he said, suddenly having another thought. "Was it a good kiss?"

Aera laughed. "Yes, yes it was."

"Huzzah!"

"You're ridiculous, Yoongs!"

"And so are you! Someday, this situation will be reversed and you'll act like this with me. Consider this payback in advance!"

Aera again laughed loudly. "You're so dumb!"
