BTS Suga : Around the World With You

Feelings

Breakfast the next day consists of a variety of rice dishes with thai omelette and a noodle soup. They are in a tiny restaurant tucked away in the busy streets of Thailand. Maggie said this is a popular place referencing from food blogs that she spends most of her research for this trip.

Yoongi agrees tho, the food is great. Sure they have tried the same kind food back home, but this is Thailand... it has a "Thailand vibe" to it as Maggie puts it.

Yoongi just eats a bit of everything. He really isn't much of a foodie. He likes trying different kinds of food. But he is not the one who would pig out at every dish there is.

Unlike some people he knows, and he looks at his companion from across the table wolfing down all that they have ordered.

Maggie: "Woah this is really delicious!" she said mouth still full. "I have a good place to go for our lunch."

Yoongi: "You still have a mouthful of food and you're thinking about lunch?!"

Meh. She continues eating.

They head on to BTS skytrain, Maggie read somewhere that it's best to take the train if they plan to visit multiple places. And that is exactly their itinerary for the day.

The train is packed with nowhere to sit, so they decided to just stand and enjoy the view from the windows.

Yoongi holds on to the safety bar while Maggie holds on to him. They are a bit too close than the usual.

He looks down at his companion, who is too busy looking out the window. Yoongi is thinking how he can just lower his head a bit more and he can actually kiss the girl's head. He caught himself thinking about that and he tries to ignore whatever he is feeling at the moment.

Maggie suddenly looks up. It surprises Yoongi at how their faces are too close. He looks away almost immediatley before the redness in his cheeks would be obvious for her to see.

They ride in silence. Yoongi doesn't mind, really he doesn't.

They have been best friends since they were little that they both enjoy a comfortable silence when they are together. Awkwardness of silence non existent.

The only thing that is not silent right now is how fast Yoongi's heart is beating. So loud that he is sure even Maggie can hear it due to her close proximity.

But Maggie fixes her gaze again outside the train's windows, enjoying the tall buildings and view that she sees as the train zooms past them.

Yoongi relaxes. He is safe now. He thought. And he too, looks out the window.

They arrive at the Grand Palace and the place is crowded with tourists too. Yoongi hates waiting in line. But he forgets all that when Maggie has been talking to him non stop about all the things they can see when they go in, "...There is even a museum inside." She adds excitedly.

They entered the palace and Yoongi snaps immediatley using his camera. He is busy taking pictures of Maggie and himself but he does not miss the amazing artifacts and architecture the place has to offer. He got distracted for a bit admiring them that when he turns around, Maggie is lost in the sea of tourists.

He doesn't worry though, because Yoongi trusts that he will find her. Or that Maggie will find him despite the crowd.

True enough, a good 15 minutes later a thin hand snakes in his own, pulling him. "There you are!" Maggie said a little bit out of breath. "I found a good place for you to take my picture!" And she pulls Yoongi not letting go of his hand.

It's quite hot in the temple that Yoongi is considerate enough to bring a bottle of water. After taking a sip, he offers it to Maggie who takes it right away.

After all the walking they did the entire afternoon, they have found their way to the night market. It has a good carnival like atmosphere and brightly colored stalls that occupies the entire area. They decided to buy some souvenir items since this is their last night in the city after all. Tomorrow, they leave for Phuket. And Yoongi cannot wait to see the beach.

Maggie: "Did you pack sunscreen? I know you're very sensitive to the sun." she says a mouth full of noodles.

They are now seated after all the shopping that they have done. Their table full of food again. From pad thai to satays and curry on rice.

Yoongi responds with a mouthful too, "Yep, got that covered." Then an idea hits him. "Since it's our last night here, shall we go get some drinks?"

Maggie's eyes widens and claps her hand in approval.

Yoongi: "I'll be right back."

He pushes his way thru the crowd struggling to hold 4 bottles of beer in his hands. Yoongi makes a safe trip back to their table with Maggie grabbing one of the bottles right away.

"To our succesful trip" she holds her bottle high as a toast.

"And pray we'll make it out alive" adds Yoongi as he raise his bottle too and drinks the beer thirstily.

He was halfway done with his first bottle when Maggie speaks again - "I'm happy, Yoongi."

He looks at her and sure enough, Maggie is looking at him smiling. That smile where you don't have to show a big happy, teethy smile. Just a smile that you can also see in her eyes. Her sparkling eyes. "I'm happy I get to experience this with you, my best friend." And she reaches out across the table and holds his hand.

Yoongi opens his palms and holds her hand too. They stay like this for a bit. And he allows himself to look at Maggie in the eyes a tad too long as well. Before he replies, "Me too. "

Yoongi is happy. He really is. Whether he is happy that he gets to travel before working for his father's company. Or maybe because finally gone are the sleepless night where they had to study until the early morning. Or maybe-

Just maybe, he is happy. Because right now, he is with Maggie. His best friend.

If he has any other feelings swimming around at the pit of his stomach right now, he ignores that feeling. It's a strange feeling for him that he believes is still too early for him to acknowledge.

So for now, he's just happy. With whatever this is.
