[A/N] Surprise!😁 In celebration of 1k views we have two chapters✨️ Enjoy💜

You take a deep breath, only for the most pathetic squeak to come out. So instead you look straight at him and whisper, "Me too."

His eyes flash to yours, "You do?"

You nod your head and look down at your shoes.

Crap. I have no idea what I'm doing! Yoongi? That's your cue damn it say something!

He doesn't say anything. Instead he steps closer, reaching out and brushing your jaw with his fingers. You lean into his touch, a certain powerful electricity radiating from his touch right through your body into your heart. He cups your jaw in his large hands tilting your head to meet his gaze.

"You really mean that?" His voice is suddenly deep and mellow, with that beautiful raspy undertone sending shivers down your spine.

"I really do." You still can't manage to speak above a whisper. You feel like you can't. Like this energy between you is a beautifully terrifying wild animal and any sudden movements will scare it away.

Yoongi knows it too. You can tell. He carefully leans in hesitating for just a moment before pressing his lips gently onto yours. You respond carefully, still wary of frightening the wild animal.

It's hardly what you'd call a kiss compared to the times when either you or yoongi has been drunk, but just knowing that this one is really special makes it one thousand times better.

The water runs quietly, gently underneath you making your heartbeats fall into a soft lullaby rhythm as the stars twinkle overhead and you stand safe and content in Yoongi's arms, like you never want to leave.

~Time Skip~

"Is this seriously all you took to Russia with you?" Yoongi stands in the sketchy motel room holding up your small duffle bag.

"Yeah. I just shoved in a few things from the stuff I already had at your place."

"Hmm, true I guess. Oh well if this is all let's get going. Man, I hate this place." Yoongi joins you in the hall, locking the door behind him.

"Why's that?"

"Just gives me the creeps."

You head to the front desk and check out, noticing the receptionist winking at Yoongi and him grinning back.

Okkk...

Yoongi had left his bike parked on the bridge so you follow him carefully along in the darkness until you reach it. He hands you a spare helmet and you climb on behind him, now more comfortable with clinging onto his waist.

"All set?"

"Mm hmm."

The bike takes off, making its way through the streets of Seoul. You continue on for a few minutes until yoongi suddenly pulls off to the side of the road.

"Why did we stop?"

"The city looks so pretty at night. Come see."

He leads you up a small hill to an old tower at the top. A few flights of stairs later and you find yourself at the top, slightly exausted, but amused with Yoongi's sudden burst of childish energy.

"Come see the lights Cupcake!" He skips over the the edge of the top room where a large window opens out to the night outside.

You grin and follow him. "Wow," You breath.

All of Seoul lies below you, some parts sleeping peacefully and others still wide awake with lights of purple and green and blue shining out in a beautiful array of colors.

"It's amazing!" You lean your elbows on the window ledge and rest your head in your hands, soaking up the view.

Yoongi leans closer pointing to a building in the cluster of lights. "There's my apartment."

"I don't think I can see my house. It's right over the far side. Where's Jungkook's training center?"

"Right there." He points to a building just across from his apartment.

"Hey it's real close to your place!"

"Yeah quite convenient ay." He says grinning.

"Convenient?"

"Yeah. Didn't you know I work there?"

"No! I knew Jimin did but I didn't know you did..."

"Yup I do. Of course it's because of me that Jungkook's good enough to go to america."

"Ohh you're a trainer! Now it makes sense!" You giggle as you remember the first time you went there and Yoongi was scolding Jungkook for not making the steps 'flow'. "Still I don't think you're the reason Jungkook's in america. He has a lot of natural talent ya know Dumpling."

Yoongi stiffens slightly. "Mmm maybe... If you're done looking at the view we should keep going. It's getting late."

You make your way back down the tower with Yoongi.

Why did he suddenly shut off like that? Maybe he's just tired. Surely he doesn't just still hate that nickname? I don't know!

It's only a short while till you're back at Yoongi's apartment. The familiar feel of the place feels almost homely now. Still different, but after all you've been through you're just happy to have somewhere where you can crash.

There's a full glass of whiskey on the counter, left there to melt. The condensation on the glass looks cool and refreshing. Yoongi see's you looking at it, "You thirsty?"

You nod your head and go to sit on the couch while Yoongi gets you some water. The sound of a draw opening and shutting echos in your head and the sound of a cup being placed on the counter. You close your eyes just for a minute and drift into a peaceful sleep.
