Chapter 24- Farewell to my smile

Min Yoongi's POV

FLASHBACK BEGIN

It was about that day when we were newly admitted in Architecture. Our freshman year had just started and we were out on introductory terms with our classmates. I was least interested in all those interactive sessions that were held with fellows and seniors. Jin Hyung was the only person I knew even outside the university so I didn't bother to know more people. My camera was my best friend and this campus was the new place that I found to discover.

           

More discover-able than the humans around me.

But not after that day!

I was performing an almost postmortem of a tree-hole by intruding in the privacy of the tiny insects living peacefully in their habitat, when my lens caught the sight of a girl walking afar on the pavement I was facing. My fingers moved on their own accord and zoomed the lens to see her, to have a close look of that beige cladded girl.

As my lens showed me a better view of her, that girl stopped by Tulips and grazed their petals with her fingers.

Click!

My camera captured that view as I didn't know whatever the hell it was doing.

She was wearing a beige coat with a hood that was seemingly revealing her several coffee-ish blonde locks. I couldn't guess if the hair color was original or she had dyed her hair.

While holding my camera a little too long, my hands started to ache for being in the same position.

But my eyes preferred to study her, more .

She moved a little further and back on the path towards the department. As she was coming closer, my lens was showing me closer and clearer views. How wind was blowing her hair and how eyes were so brown behind her spectacles. She didn't have much make up on. Well she doesn't need much, to be honest. Her skin looked so soft through the lens as she was some porcelain statue.

"Yoongi-ah?"

Hun! How does she know my name? And her voice? How come her voice is this manly and– Wait, her lips didn't move . Then–

"Yoongi-ah ? Min Yoongi? "

A hand tapped my shoulder and I turned around to see who it was .

"Oh Jin Hyung ! " A sigh slipped my throat as I already started to miss her sight. Whoever she was, she had successfully arrived in the threads of my thoughts.

Flashback end

My eyes flashed open as somebody jerked my shoulder. I looked for the demon who dared to disrupt my sleep and found Taehyung leaning towards me. I looked at my side and found Hyeri's head resting upon my shoulder. Yeri was trying to wake her up too and I was burning flames at that girl. Finally Yeri and Taehyung succeeded in their evil venture and both of us got up from the ground.

"Room's free now. "
Yeri sheepishly whispered in Hyeri's ear and bit her lip . Her whispering was loud enough to get heard by both of us boys . I grimaced when Taehyung smiled and set his eyes at his girl .

Aish ! These idiots .

Meanwhile I was eyeing my girl , who in fact was not mine . She frowned at Yeri's whisper and then smiled a bit .

Before leaving to our respective rooms , she finally poured her eyes on me , making me smile stupidly wide .

"Good Night . "
Her heavy eyelids were sending my imaginations to some different dimensions, far away from ours. I better decide to leave before it goes way too far.

"Good Night. "

I still managed to smile and turned towards my room.

Next morning was surprisingly better than ever. Sun was brighter and I was happier in anything I would do. I woke up early, had a stroll and came back right after sun-rise.

I wake up everyone and even made breakfast for them.
Yes , right ! For ALL of them.

Each one of them was literally gaping at me with their saucer-sized eyeballs.

And I was answering them with a smile.

Really, a smile showing my gums .

"These pancakes are even better than the those we eat at the Harbington's , really! "

Hyeri praised my cooking that I knew wasn't that good and she was probably exaggerating, but it made my day . Her smile when she put a fork-full in her mouth and chocolate sauce pecking her lips, at the same spot where were mine last night. The images of last night rewind in my mind and I bit my lip being nervous in my own .

It was our last day here and after breakfast when everyone was done with their packing, we were going to leave .

That stupid smile was still painted on my face when I was putting my luggage in the van . Soo Jung was there too and I helped her with her luggage.

As I turned around to go back inside, Soo Jung called my name that signaled me to stop .

"I saw you. I saw you both last night . You and Hyeri were ki– "

"It was me. Just me . " I turned my face towards her like a lightning spark and when I spoke , I was quite as wind .

Soo Jung responded with a frown creeping between her brows, showing a sign of her confusion .

"Don't blame her . She–She doesn't know anything. That was– "

I heaved a sigh and turned back to where I was heading with a crestfallen face.

"That was just me . "

And my smile waved its last farewell .
