It was Yoongi. His voice was more calm and deep than usual.

"We have a new mission. Not easy, but worth it."
I took a deep breath. I really hate doing this, but it's not like I have anything better to do.
"..Another one? How much this time?"
It payed well, and that was all that matters. At least, I thought so.
Before Yoongi could answer, I heard someone coming.
"Gotta go. We'll figure it out tonight."
I could tell that it was her from the corner of my eye, seeing that Taehyung was with her.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Jungkook."
I turned around to realize that she was the girl from the other day. My eyes became wide and she took a step back.
"Didn't we see each other before?"
It was her!
"Uh, yeah. I think we did."
What a coincidence. So she was Taehyung's friend?
"Huh? You guys know each other?"
I almost smiled at her concerned expression. She looked like a lost duckling. Was there a reason why she couldn't tell him the truth?
Anyways, I decided to help her out.
"We met at the, um, grocery store."
She looked at me with thankfulness. Good job, Jungkook.
She's cute. She was the most transparent person I've ever met.
It was so easy to read through her and I liked that. There was a sense of innocence in her, too. Sort of like fresh white snow that nothing has touched yet.
Not being able to understand is my least favorite thing. That's why I only "befriend" people I can comprehend.
But most people now are impossible to understand, all of them strive for themselves and themselves only.
Taehyung left while I was zoning out. I didn't notice until she spoke up.
"Thank you again for saving me last time."
'Saving me'.. She triggered a sense of protection. Actually, more like greed to keep her pure. Free from any footsteps, including my own.
I smiled.
"Of course.. Also, happy birthday."
She smiled back, making me feel warm inside. This surprised me. It wasn't a familiar feeling, but it was pleasant.
