UNTIL You [YOONGI] (Book 1)

Chapter 17

After the courtyard ordeal with Hoseok, Yoongi went back to the homeroom to find Soo-ji sitting at her desk, engrossed in a textbook and ignoring everyone's points and stares.

He smiled, remembering this was her way of blocking out everyone's bullshit and be in her own world.

She didn't even notice him walking past her to his desk at the back of the room.

He pulled out his phone and sent her a text.

Is Miyoung okay?

He watched her take out her phone to read the message, a small smile forming on her lips as she typed back.

Nope. Hoseok pissed her right off again.

Just give her some food and she'll be fine.

Soo-ji let out a small chuckle.

Where are you now? She asked.

Behind you, pabo

She looked towards his desk to find Yoongi giving her a stupid little wave, his gummy smile so wide like an idiot.

Rolling her eyes, the corner of her lips twitching to a smile, she quickly tapped her phone again.

Can you not be so obvious? You're drawing attention.

She heard him cough out loud before a reply came through her phone.

Well now that I've got your attention from that dead ass book, I've got a proposal.

... What?

A minute or two passed by before Soo-ji finally got a text back from him.

This Saturday... let's go on a date.

***

Saturday eventually arrived and as they ate lunch together in a restaurant, Soo-ji couldn't help herself but watch Yoongi closely.

In all the years they were classmates, she realised that there were probably a handful of times she had seen him genuinely smile as he was doing now before her.

It made her heart swell knowing she was the reason for his happiness.

This Min Yoongi in front of me...

Who never came into school without a cut or a bruise...

Who never expressed any emotion other than coldness...

Who never opened up to anyone...

... Why is he so cute?!

The gummy smile he kept flashing me, the stupid loving smile he also flashes to the chicken on his plate, the way he likes to push his hair back like a model in slow motion...

"Yah! Are you even listening?" Yoongi exclaimed, clapping his hand in her face.

"Huh?" Soo-ji snapped out of her thoughts.

"Tsk. I was telling you about that time when Joon had to rescue Kookie from a girl in a club."

"O-oh, ye-sorry, what were you saying?" She quickly shook her head to focus back on him.

"What are you thinking about?" He eyed her curiously, his fingers stroking the back of her hand across the table.

"N-nothing!" Soo-ji's face flushed.
