Changed Heart // MY

7

The next day, Yeona walks out of her bedroom to hear snoring in the room across from hers, opening the door to see Hee-Chul with his body sprawled out over the entirety of his mattress, amazed that someone as lean as him can actually cover every inch.

"Hee-Chul? It's time to go to school." She says, shaking his shoulder.

"You're fine, just go to school without me." He mumbles, putting a pillow over his head.

She smiles in response as his snores return, grabbing her things before leaving the apartment. She takes out a cigarette as she walks across the street, blowing smoke in the parking lot before putting it out on the trash can itself, making sure that the fire was out before putting it inside.

She walks the semi filled hallways and enters her classroom to immediately sit down and put her head in her arms, falling asleep as soon as she shut her eyes. At least ten minute into her nap, she feels a pencil poke her shoulder and opens her eyes to groggily see Yoongi staring at her with a worried look on his face.

"What?" She yawns.

"You kinda ran away from us yesterday, is there a reason?" He asks, sitting down next to her.

"I don't like being touched." She mumbles.

"You could've said that, ya know." He sighs.

"It's a touchy subject." She says, her voice muffled by her arm when she had stuck her head into it.

She starts to hear him laugh and she feels her face start to burn at the sound of it and shyly looks up at himin confusion. She clears her throat and looks away, wondering why he had laughed at her until she thought about her answer and realized that she had made a pun.

"Yeona, smile. You shouldn't have to hide all the time." Yoongi tells her.

She looks back at him with a raise eyebrow, asking herself if that was really the best idea to just be herself with him. As she thinks, she starts to memorize the soft smile on his face as he looks back at her and she feels her heart start to beat faster when he leans closer to her.

"I can't smile if I haven't seen anything funny." She says, seeing him adjust his chair before leaning away from her.

"Funny? You want to see something funny?" Yoongi asks, his smile growing wider.

"Y-Yes." She stutters, not knowing how to feel about the heart stealing smile that was growing on his face.

He takes out his phone and pulls up YouTube, leaning toward her as he searches for a video. He props his phone up on the table and presses play, giving her a heart melting smile as she starts to watch the video.

*Refer to video above*

Yeona blinks as the video ends, trying her best to keep the laughter inside of her body but failed, laughing uncontrollably as she tries not to let Yoongi see her. It was an absolute wonder at how such a simple video could break her like that and she had to admit, she didn't hate the feeling. She covers her mouth as she tries to regain control over herself but feels hands tug her arms down and looks at Yoongi while still chuckling at the seemingly never ending memory. She watches as Yoongi's smile get bigger and his cheeks become a bit red, resulting in her own cheeks getting red from embarrassment. She could still hear the person talking from the video and starts to laugh even harder at the memory.

"There's a smile, it looks good on you." Yoongi says.

She clears her throat, trying to stop herself from laughing any more as she shyly looks at Yoongi with a small smile on her face, feeling her face grow hotter as he keeps looking at her. She clears her throat once again and looks away, letting her hair fall like a curtain over her face as she tries not to look at the boy next to her again. She feels her hair move and tries not to look at the boy who was now even closer to her with a smile on his lips.
