"Yoongi, what the fuck were you thinking?" I whisper yell at him from our spot hidden behind the wall. I had excused myself and waited for him to be finished eating before I pulled him aside so that I could talk to him. What he did was incredibly off-putting, and I'm not sure whether or not to be upset or impressed.
On one hand, it gets my mom off of my back. She has been trying to get me to like guys since she married my dad, sending me to therapy sessions and setting me up on blind dates with random young men she met at the grocery store. I guess Yoongi telling her that we are dating will keep her at bay for some time.
On the other hand, what he did was incredibly risky. For one, my dad knows me better than I know myself. I could tell he was suspicious of us the moment Yoongi broke the news. What is going to happen if he figures us out? Also, what is he going to do to appease me mom? Is he going to come over every day and pretend to be my boyfriend? We both have lives. There is no way that we can pull this off.
He stares at me as I begin to pace back and forth, his eyes following my movements. He sighs before reaching out and holding onto my shoulders, causing me to stop my pacing and stand still in front of him.
"Look, I'm sorry ok? I just saw how upset you were getting with your mom and wanted to do something to shut her up. I know that it will be hard, but I am willing to pretend to be your boyfriend for as long as it takes."
I am stunned silent by his words, my mouth opening and then closing when I change my mind about what I want to say. I was not expecting such a serious answer from someone like Yoongi.
"Why though? Why are you so willing to help me?"
He smiles slightly, a soft chuckle escaping his lips.
"I know I come off as cocky and an obnoxious flirt most of the time, but thats not really who I am. I just put up that facade in front of you because I'm kind of scared. I know that you don't have any feelings for me at all, which makes this whole thing a lot more awkward than it should be. I know that you may have felt nothing when I kissed you, but I did. I like you Ara, and will do anything it takes to make sure you realize that."
I dont know what to say. My eyes are wide as I stare at him smiling in front of me, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I have never had someone say something like that to me before, the suddenness of it causing me cheeks to heat up as I get flustered. Why me though? Why would he fall for someone like me who has been nothing but dismissive and distant from him?
"I.....th-thanks Yoongi" I say quietly, still not sure how I should react to his confession. I start to feel bad though. I feel bad because I only kissed him back because I was shocked by the new feeling of kissing a boy instead of a girl. I feel bad because he had to pretend to be someone that he is not in front of me because he knew that I didn't reciprocate his feelings.
"No problem, but can we change the subject? Its getting really awkward, and I don't want to blush any more than I already am" he says jokingly as he tries to lighten the mood. I crack a smile and nod, not wanting to stay on this topic for very much longer either. I look around before my eyes land on something, them widening in shock.
"J-Jungkook, Taehyung....how long have you guys been standing there?"
I look from Jungkook to Taehyung as they stand there in shock, their mouths wide as they stare at us. Jungkook's entire face is scrunched up in disgust, his cheeks red. Taehyung looks like he was in the middle of watching a good drama, his eyes wide as he gawks at us. Jungkook is the one to break the silence first, disgust still clearly displayed on his face.
"You like my sister?" he says slowly, his voice raising to an active that I have only ever heard him sing in. I can't help but laugh at the look on his face as Yoongi blushes, suddenly finding this whole thing hilarious.
