Texts

Chp 16

Monday.

"What if I told you I fell in love with a guy I texted?" Hyejin asked Soo mi.

"That's normal. Tinder, remember?" She has a point.

"And what if I told you this guy is... an idol."

"Then if I was in your position I'd pass out and have a heart attack." She said sipping her drink as we sat in the cafeteria, but then she spit out a little of her drink into a napkin. Her eyes widened in realization, "Hyejin is it Sug-"

"Shh!" Hyejin said smiling. "Maybe..."

She was about to scream until I warned her.

"Aw." She said dreamily. "You're so lucky."

"Eh." Hyejin shrugged it off. "It's hard sometimes. He didn't text me for two weeks."

"Aw. But not even an 'I love you' or something?" She said as she had her head resting on her hand.

"Yoongi's not really the type to say 'I love you' everyday but he does say it occasionally." I said, as I took a bit of my lunch. "I think he's a secret romanticist between you and me."

"You're soo lucky. Like, millions of girls would kill to be in your position. Including me."

"I know. Which is why we haven't made it public yet. We might tell the world when rumors start to surface." I sighed.

"Be careful. Fans' can be a little aggressive sometimes." Soo mi said.

"I know... but oh well." Hyejin took a sip out if her drink. "Our break's over. Let's go."

*End of the day*

Hyejin had received a text from Yoongi, and a missed call.

"That's a little odd." Hyejin smiled to herself.

She read the message.

Yoongi: Im at the café from last time. Hurry up.

The nerve of this boy! Hyejin thought. She fastened her pace with her hands in the pocket of her coat, but she was happy to finally see him and didn't realize that she was jogging.

She reached the café panting but before entering she waited for her breath to slow down a bit so  it wouldn't look like she had ran. Yoongi wouldn't let her hear the end of it.

She entered and found Yoongi at a corner table sleeping.

She showed no mercy.

"HEY!" Hyejin yelled in his ear, but all he did was shift in his sleep. I guess living with 6 other guys really made you have thick skin. Hyejin sighed as she sat down. She felt bad for thinking of him badly, since he was constantly exhausting himself out like this, and instead of resting he came to see her. She smiled softly.

She held his hand.

Then pinched it.

Yoongi mumbled. "Hyejin?"

Hyejin pulled away as he slowly stirred from his nap.

"You're a heavy sleeper." Hyejin said as she smiled dreamily at him.

"So?" He simply said as he yawned. "How long were you there."

Hyejin pretended to check her phone. "About an hour." She lied.

"An hour?!" Yoongi said in disbelief. "You sat there and watched me sleep? You creep."

"Idiot. I came a few minutes ago and I yelled in your ear but you didn't even grunt." Hyejin said crossing her arms.

"Yeah yeah." Yoongi said, yawning. "Sorry I haven't had time for you."

"It's fine. It gave me time to study." Hyejin said. "Congrats on winning the billboard award by the way." Hyejin flashed a smile. "I hadn't had a chance to tell you. And plus, Agust'd predicted the future. In his song, it said 'Next up is the Billboards'. He guessed it."

Yoongi laughed. "Did you memorize every lyric?"

"Maybe~." Hyejin said.

"Ah." Yoongi looked away from Hyejin still smiling. He really missed her. "People might see us like this. Are you okay with it?"

"I don't care really." Hyejin said.

The waitress came over and Hyejin ordered a piece of coffee cake and a latte, and Yoongi ordered nothing but water, which upset Hyejin.

"Don't tell me you're on another ridiculous diet. As a doctor I advise you-"

"Don't you want me to look good?" Yoongi sighed, staring out the window.

"Are you stupid? I couldn't care less even if I tried. Can't believe you took me for that type of girl Yoongi." Hyejin said, sighing. "Please don't diet."

"I'm sorry." Yoongi apologized. "I wanna look good for you. And the fans."

Hyejin heavily sighed.

He weighed less than her.

She hated that.

"At least order a coffee or something. I heard that you starve yourself sometimes. Is that true?" Hyejin asked, and Yoongi caught the heavy look of concern on her face, although she had a soft look.

"I don't starve myself... you should see Jimin..."

"I wish you guys would stop. You guys already look hella good." Hyejin.

"But I look best right?"

"Hmm..." Hyejin teased.

He playfully threw the receipt at her, and she laughed.

The order arrived but Hyejin didn't want to eat in front of Yoongi like that so she put the coffee cake in a box and pushed away the coffee cup for later.

"You look so tired." Hyejin sighed. "If I catch you extreme dieting I swear to god Yoongi..."

Yoongi instead chuckled.

That day...

Was memorable for both of them.
