We are standing close to each other but yet we are miles away, "I came to pick you up", he says. He moves away and continues, "I will wait at the main gate in the car, you hurry up and come downstairs." He started walking towards the door without even letting me speak.

"Okay!" I mumbled because I felt he was not interested to even know if I am doing okay. I have never travelled alone anywhere, it was my first time and I know we all have our first times and how nerve wrecking it is. I know absolutely nothing and no one here. I feel stupid for even holding my hand out to him. I just combed my hair, roll the scrunchy on my right hand's wrist, put the lip balm on my lips and a light stroked eye liner. I took my sling, put my phone inside it along with my airpods, lip balm, claw clip and some candies. I had an unshed tear in my eyes, so I held my head backwards for a few seconds till it's gone, I finally look at myself in the mirror while spraying the perfume (I love vanilla fragrance by the way, also rose fragrance but right now, it's vanilla with caramel). I sprinted towards the door, put my shoes on and checked my bag again. I then realized that I forgot my book, I went inside, kept my book in the bag and left the bnb.

It took me 10 minutes to get to his car and it took me a whole extra minute to enter the car and put the seat belt on. We are not talking right now and this silence is eating me. I don't like it when people whom I like or love are not talking to me for whatever reason but I did not want to spoil anything right now so I just kept quiet, took my book out of my bag and started reading. He looked at me from his peripheral vision, I know. I kept reading, it has been 15 minutes and there is hell lot of a traffic, it's going to take us 20 to 30 minutes more to reach to the venue or restaurant they have selected. To disrupt the silence, my phone starts ringing and it's a missed call from Kriti that means I have to check my iMessage. I open my iMessage and she is insane. Trust me when I say this, she is literally insane, she will do something, you never expected.

She has sent me a picture of her on the airport with a message, "Guess where?"
"Don't tell me you insane woman." I replied
"Yes, that's correct." She is squealing I know

"Oh my god" I typed and yelled too that made him look at me. I had a visibly brighter smile on my face with a sparkle in my eyes.

"What happened?" He asked and I stopped smiling. I am mad at him, I don't know why and I don't think that I should be but here I am. I don't look at him and tell him that Kriti will be here tonight. He smiles, I only saw his smile with my peripheral vision and again there's a dead silence that just makes me want to crawl back to my bnb, shut the doors & not let anyone in.

"I am at the airport, checked - in my luggage and will be boarding the flight in 5 minutes. So, will call you as soon as I land in Seoul. Don't sleep. Come to the airport to pick me up at around 9:00 PM Korean Time." She sent a message.
"Okay Ma'am. I will be at your service." I replied.
"Has anything happened?" She messaged
"No. Why?" I replied
"Your messages are tasteless." She messaged
"Did you taste my messages" I replied with a laughing emoticon.
"Shut up! Have a good day Hon xx. See you at night." She messages me and I smile.
"Okay! Have a safe flight baby." I replied to her and kept my phone in the bag. I started reading my book again, after 10 minutes, his phone started ringing. I did not look up and kept reading, "It must be Jin hyung, please answer the phone." he says looking ahead the road. I look up at him, "Where is your phone?" I ask him. "It's in my coat's pocket inside." I just nod and move forward to him as soon as I held my hand out again, then I remembered what happened a few minutes ago that made me look at him but his eyes are fixated on the road. I move my hand inside his coat on the right and took his phone out, It was Jin. I answered the call,

"Hello" I speak
"Where are you two?" He asks
"We are stuck in the traffic." I tell him
"How long will it take?" He asks

I ask Yoongi, "How long will it take, he is asking" and put the phone on speaker.

"Hyung, 20 minutes more. nobody is moving." Yoongi tells him.
"Yoongi - ah, okay, take your time. We have got the table and just a heads up, she is here and is very keen to see you." Jin tells him, it seems that he is teasing Yoongi.
"Hyung, why? I will just drop Leher there and will leave. I am not in a mood for anything at the moment." Yoongi tells him, his face has weird expressions. I cannot read his face right now. He is irritated since morning.
"Yaa, just come already. You know how to handle her with care so why do you have to be in a mood. Also, we are in a restaurant, not in a hotel room." Jin says. I feel awkward that I am a part of this conversation so I just start to look away and I guess Yoongi noticed that I am getting uncomfortable with their conversation.
"Hyung, please. Okay, I will be there with Leher." He says and hangs up.

I try to keep his phone back to its place, he gestures me to keep it with me so I just hold it.

"I am sorry for the conversation." He says again not looking at me.
"That's all?" I ask him that made him look at me.
"What do you mean? Do you want to know more about what we were having conversation for?" He asks me and I smile, that just was frustrating for him & I could see it on his face.
"No. It's okay! You can have conversation with your brother and don't need to be apologetic about the same. I am absolutely okay with it." I tell him with a smile.
"I cannot understand you sometimes." He says nodding his head and looking back at the road.
"I am not that difficult to understand. If you try to understand me, you will." I tell him and he scoffed. That hurt me but it's okay. We both are quiet again and we reach the venue in about 15 minutes. He gestured me to get out of the car and I did. He did not tell me to wait for him or anything so I just walked in and was trying to find the familiar faces. The restaurant was crowded, I was summoning courage to get inside and at that very moment, I felt a hand around my waist. I turned my head to my left and he is standing there, looking at me, he says, "Keep looking at one person while you are here and forget about the rest. It will be easier." He says and I am still looking at him. I hand him his phone, he takes it from his other hand and put it back in his coat. "Let's go" he says and we start walking but I am still looking at him. I did not realize but there were another pair of eyes looking at him with an intensity that does not scream friendship but more. When we reached the table, I saw her and she is pretty, of course he would be with her. He leaves me and moves to the vacant seat just besides her. As soon as he sits, she throws herself on him, I hugged each one of them but they could not introduce her to me yet. I was observing his body language while she is all over him, his hands are yet to his sides, not holding her, his face contorts but he gives in. His hands are now moving to her waist then to her shoulder, he fixes his face on her shoulders and closes his eyes. I breathed a little loudly, I guess that made all of them look at me and I raise my eyebrows, "What?" I ask them and they all smile at me.
