i woke up early today, and i don't mind it one bit. i make my tea, and to pass time, i take a shower while it cools. by the time i finished getting ready, i looked at myself in the mirror. i should really do something about my hair. it's bright orange and i want to change it up soon. i look out the window after grabbing my tea, softly sipping as i watched the sky change colors with each and every passing minute. about 15 minutes of my time was spent staring outside, watching as the clouds slowly roll by, the birds happily fly by. i let out a soft sigh, finishing my tea. i make sure i had everything i needed by the door before grabbing ahold of my phone and keys. i head downstairs to grab the mail, looking through them as i take the lazy way back up. all i had was bills, ads, promotions, newspapers, and my monthly subscription to bath & body works. tossing them aside, i check the time. 6:15. i grab my things and make my way out.

Ii stepped out into the early march air. it's still cold, and i don't want it to end. i walk to the subway station and jog down the stairs to the familiar bench where i found myself occupying almost every morning. i arrived here a little later than i usually did since i decided to walk a little slower, enjoying nature's creations as i made my journey here. it was finally 6:47 when the subway car came. i spotted the mint-haired man in the back when i turned to scale the amount of people. i take my normal seat and read the words claudia gray wrote in chapter 6.

"yes. of course she will. it finally hits me then: it's not enough to chase after wicked, fixing everything she's broken. i have to protect the other marguerites, every single one that could be in danger from wicked's schemes. not-"

"i never got your name." the mint-haired man spoke up first.

"-only to mess with triad's plan for destroying the universes– though that would be reason enough– but also because-"

"i'm yoongi."

"and i'm reading."

"-this is my responsibility, the most sacred one i can imagine."

"are you always this cold?" i bookmark my spot. no use of reading if he's going to bug me the whole ride.

"yes."

"why?"

"because."

"because why?"

"because."

"you're an asshat." he chuckled.

"and you're annoying."
