Attention // Yoonmin

YOONGI.

Lunchtime came around and Yoongi was waiting outside the cafeteria. For some reason, he felt nervous today, but he didn't have anything to be nervous about.

He didn't have any tests today, he was positive he wasn't going to get quizzed and there was no homework he forgot to do. So why was there this anxious feeling at the pit of his stomach, making him feel the need to empty out his stomach.

''Oh look at you~'' Yuqi squealed as she and Taehyung made their way over to him. The girl instantly ran over to him and ran a hand through his hair with a bright smile plastered over his lips. ''Did Min Yoongi actually bother to style his hair today?'' She teased causing the said boy to smack her hand away and walk inside the cafeteria.

''I couldn't sleep so I had a lot of time to get ready.'' That was only half true. Indeed Yoongi had a lot of time to get ready, but that was because he forced himself to wake up early.

''You look so cute~'' Yuqi gushed as she tried to feel his hair again.

''I just put gel in it why are you making such a big deal out of this?''

''Making sure you look good for your not so secret admirer?'' Yuqi whispered into his ear.

''Fuck you.'' Yoongi murmured back then rushed to the line for food so that the girl wouldn't notice his blush. He paid for his food then started walking across the cafeteria, discretely looking around the room to see if anybody was looking at him.

The other night, when he was walking home from Yuqi's house he decided it was time to move on from Taehyung. The boy most obviously only saw Yoongi as a friend and nothing more so there was no point in Yoongi holding on onto false hope. He figured, if this boy Yuqi was telling him about really existed, he should at least try to talk to him and see how it goes.

He sat down at their usual table and began eating, not really caring that Yuqi and Taehyung haven't arrived yet.

''Hey... Yoongi...'' Taehyung called out as he and Yuqi sat down next to him.

Yoongi was left frozen in shock, did Taehyung actually look up from his phone and speak to the pair.

''Yeah?''

''Is it correct if you write use to... or used to?'' Taehyung questioned, as he looked the older in the eye.

''I think it's used to.''

''Yeah, it is.'' Yuqi agreed.

''Why you ask?''

''I used 'use to' in my English essay... I'm gonna fail, aren't I?'' Taehyung spoke with a sad smile plastered over his lips causing the pair to chuckle at him.

''It'll be okay.'' Yoongi assured as he patted his shoulder for comfort.

''I hope so...'' Taehyung murmured then looked back down at his phone. His expression not as bright and cheery as before.

Yoongi tried his best not to stare, but he couldn't help himself, he suddenly felt bad for laughing at him for his mistake, it wasn't even funny. What if he really upset Taehyung?

''Yoongs...'' Yuqi called out.

''Hm?'' Yoongi hummed as he looked her in the eye. There was a smirk plastered over her lips indicating she had something to tell him.

''Don't be too obvious, but three tables behind me, he's there, he's sitting all alone.'' Yoongi's eyes went wide but he quickly calmed his expression, not wanting to seem too obvious. He looked away from Yuqi and to where she told him too.

He searched for the table, but all of them were full of students all minding their business. That was until he spotted the almost empty table. A familiar boy sat there, his head resting in his palm, his eyes staring directly into Yoogni's, his lips were lightly parted and the boy looked like he was in some sort of trance.

''Wait, him?'' Yoongi questioned to be sure.

''Yeah, he's cute right.''

''That's Jimin, he sits next to me in class.''

''Wait, what?'' Yuqi questioned; her eyes wide with excitement. ''How have you never noticed him before? Get your ass over there and talk to him.''

''What? Why?''

''Because... I said so.'' Yoongi scoffed at the younger, but remained in his seat.

Even if he wanted to go over to Jimin, his legs didn't seem to want to cooperate.

''Yoongi, c'mon. What's stopping you? Just go there and talk to him.''

''And what do I talk about?''

''I don't know, you'll see when you get there. You're good at winging it.''

''Yeah, when it comes to school assignments, not interacting with people.''

''You'll do great, now get your ass over there.''

''Fine.'' Yoongi grumbled then pushed himself out of his seat. He sent Yuqi one last look, which the girl knew meant 'I will kill you if this doesn't go well', then started making his way over to Jimin's table.

He didn't break eye contact with the boy the entire time, and the closer he got the wider and more panicked the boy looked.

''Hey.'' He greeted the boy.

Jimin didn't reply just stared at him with wide eyes and a dropped jaw making him look like a scared deer.

''Can... Can I sit down?'' He asked the boy hoping Jimin was going to regain his ability to speak anytime soon.

''H-hi...'' The boy stuttered out then slapped his forehead when he realized he said the wrong thing.

A chuckle escaped Yoogni's lips. He couldn't help but find the action to be adorable. He sat down at the table, figuring Jimin would've let him and smiled at the blushing boy.
