     Three weeks have passed since I've met Yoongi. Over those weeks I've spent a lot of time with him going to random places such as museums, music stores and even him hanging around with me at work. I've learned a lot about Yoongi, how he doesn't like to express his emotions but will show you with action. He's kind but tells you how it is. He is so deep that at times I find myself falling in, completely losing myself with his words. The way he will sit completely still in thought for the longest time. I've grown to love every aspect of him, even his tendency to tease me at times. Every second I spend with him the more I realize how amazing I feel, how I'm so head over heels with the 1 a.m  mystery man that has now become my closest friend. I haven't spoken my feelings but i'm positive on my feelings towards him without words. I know I could easily tell him but i'm okay with how things are between us. It's simple and I don't have to get out of my comfort zone. Yeah.. I like how it is.

Today I was told by Yoongi to put on my best dress adding that he will be picking me up at my apartment at 8 tonight. I have not the slightest clue on why or where we're going but i'm just happy to be able to spend time with him. I want to look nice tonight so I do my hair in a way it will suit me best. I put simple makeup on not wanting to overdo it. I then pull out a dress I've been dying to wear ever since I bought it a while back. It's as simple as it's color. Long black sleeves with the length coming down right past my knees. Putting my coat on I hear the loud honk of a car horn. I quickly look to the window to see Yoongi's car. I rush over to the door and open it. Scaring me almost half to death I see Yoongi slightly out of breath. "I honked but then realized that's not right and I should've probably come to the door, god.. you look beautiful." Yoongi speaks as if he ran a mile. I shy away at his comment and tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. "Thank you." I say not making any eye contact. I close the door and lock it, then turn to Yoongi. He then leads me to his car walking a bit ahead of me so he can open the car door for me. "You walk too fast" he says as he opens the door. I snicker as I sit inside the car. Closing the door he quickly walks around the car as he taps his fingers on the hood of the car giving me a smile. Almost giddy, he gets into the driver's seat rubbing his hands together blowing warmth into them. "Ready?" He asked with a gummy like smile. "Yes of course." I smile back at him hiding my excitement behind my eyes. Remembering how little I got out of him when I asked about where we were going I decide not to push. He pulls up to the most unbelievable place I would ever think of. A fast food restaurant. We don't even go inside, instead  pulling up through the drive through. Not going to lie, I was expecting something more...fancy. He orders for me handing me the bag of food. "Not to rush my lady; but eat fast." The words 'my lady' sticks with me causing a faint blush to form on my face. I quickly eat as Yoongi does the same while driving with one hand. We finish and I ask, "what now?" Without looking at me he says "taking you home." I can't explain all the thoughts going through my head right now. I'm entirely confused, shocked, andeven a little sad that I couldn't spend more time with him tonight. I see my apartment coming in view when he completely passes it. "You passed it." I say. "I know." He replies with his monotone voice. "Well then where are you taking me?" "I don't know." His answer reminds me of the time we met. Simple, short and sweet. The sound of the windshield wipers pushing away snow was the only sound I hear as we drive. I look at him hoping he won't look back. The way he looks right now, how concentrated he is and how he very well knows exactly where he's talking me, The visible smirk on his face makes me want to scream my feelings to him. Tell him right now how much I've fallen for him but just then the car stops. "Whe-" I look out the car window to see my book shop. "Why are we here?" I question as he is already getting out of the car. He opens the door for me taking my hand. "Come on." He says as he walks to the front entrance. The door is unlocked which shocked me considering I know I always lock it when I leave. About to protest he tugs me inside. What is awaiting me takes my breath away. There are stringed lights up all around the store making all the wonderful features aluminate in the light. In the middle is a simple round table with two chairs. On the table is nothing but a small flower in a glass vase. "Yoongi what is this?" I ask still gazing upon the scene. With no words he jesters me to sit. I take a seat with him doing so as well. "Do you like it?" He asks looking into my eyes. "How could I not?" I say as I look around. "How did you get in here?" "I stole your key." "You what, how?" I look in my bag and just as he said, he stole it. "Never mind that, look." He points to a small piano that's been here for god knows how long. "Yeah?" "Im going to play for you." "It's extremely out of tune." I warn. "I tuned it." He says back facing me like it was no big deal. Amazed about everything this man comes up with I see him holding his hand out waving for me to come over. I come closer to him and he tells me to sit down in a near by chair. With out warning he begins to play. The keys move along with his hand as if they were attached. The melody plays out filling the building with emotion. He makes it look easy. Swiftly swaying his body along to the song, his hands flowing over making a new sound each time as it fills me with a calm feeling. I'm lost. Completely lost and if this is what it feels like to be lost, I don't want to ever be found. The song ends with a slow chord that puts a smile on my face. He looks up at me awaiting my reaction. "I'm lost for words." I say to him earning a small laugh from him. He takes a deep breath preparing for something important to say. "I started writing this song right after I met you. I was so captivated when I saw you.. The first words you spoke to me made me feel so warm inside, I don't know what you did to be but you did it good." He stands up taking me with him close. "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. You have taken over my mind completely.. Now can you just be mine already?" I look at him and what I see is something rare. Emotion. So much emotion running through his face, it's almost unreal. He takes my hands and slowly leans in. Overrun with the same emotions I quickly beat him to it and throw my arms around his neck clashing my lips with his. He was surprised at my sudden action but then he quickly responds by wrapping his arms around my waist and returning the kiss. The moment felt like it could last forever. The song he played for me just moments ago rings though my ears as we continue. We soon break apart with his head leaning against mine. "Wow." He says soft and breathy. "Wow.. is right!" I say covering my mouth with excitement. "I can't believe I did that." I gasp. He chuckles and pulls me in so I can feel his warmth once again. After that we talk and talk about many things. It's almost endless. He tells me more about what he does with his music and the people he works with. I get the wonderful opportunity of showing him my most favored books. At some point where even the night itself falls asleep he comes up behind me lightly hugging me. "Let me take you home." He whispers. "Okay." I whisper back with a smile. When we get to my apartment we walk to the door hand in hand. "Thank you for tonight." I say with a goofy smile on my face. "Thank you for coming."  Before I can turn away he kisses me again but this time I can taste the goodbye. "Goodnight Yoongi." I say softly. "Goodnight love." He says, and with that he walks back to his car as I go inside. "Goodnight.."
