Her

"Then she claimed I cheated, and I, Jessica Ho, never cheat. So after-"

Baby tuned out the rants coming from her best friend, focusing on her lyric book in front of her. Something she always did at lunch. They always sat in the cafeteria, which is a great source of inspiration. Different things are always happening.

People break up with eachother, quite dramatically. People shout insults and curse words back and forth. Others keep to themselves, living in a world of their own. Others stay in their group talking about God knows what, without a care in the world.
Baby observed these, analysing the actions and words. Writing them in a lyrical form and making a song for Chaelin to show music club.

Somehow a new table came into view for Baby. The 'popular' table. She noticed Taehyung there, laughing with Jeon Jungkook. Who was a sophomore, with good looks and lots of talents. Is too afraid to talk to girls and gets highly shy when in front of one.
Next to them was Park Jimin, who happened to be clinging onto Kim Seokjin while laughing. Jimin was the smallest on the basketball team, but was very fast. He was cute, never really seen as a big tough guy. Baby was in his English and History, but they had never talked. Seokjin, or Jin, was a very handsome senior. He was very kind and quite empathetic. In Baby's opinion he acted like a crackhead, but a funny, charming and beautiful one.

Kim Namjoon was sat across from them placed next to Jung Hoseok. Namjoon was an honours student. He got straight A's, and was very smart. Clumsy, very clumsy. He once tripped over air, breaking his wrist. Yet very kind and giving, he was helpful and effortlessly good looking.
Jung Hoseok was a little ball of sunshine. He cheers people up left and right. His smile can be seen from outer space, and is best friends with him.

Him I hear you ask. Well he is Min Yoongi.

Yoongi. Oh, Yoongi. Apart from his fangirls and fake friends, he was an amazing boy. In Baby's opinion he was highly handsome, smart, generous, sympathetic and loving. Had her stupid sense of humour. She always liked him. She's not one to shy away and blush in front of a crush, or avoid them but that doesn't mean she talked to him.
Baby and Yoongi just never crossed paths. They were in two different years, different classes, living at opposite sides of town, friends with different people and had different types of confidence.
Oh, how Baby wanted his confidence. She wanted to stand up on stage and rap her heart out like him. Wanted to dance and sing. Even wanting to join Music club with Chae, but she was scared.

She was always the one to encourage others. To help them. Be there for them. Baby was the person you went to rant to. The person who you cried to. The person you were most vulnerable to.
Even if you didn't want to be, she had an aura in which you felt safe in. Like it was just you and her.

Baby always wanted Yoongi to talk to her about himself. She sees the way he keeps himself hidden. He doesn't acknowledge his feelings, she wants him too. He's like her, and she doesn't want anyone to feel the way she does.

"Ok boys listen up, I want laps around the gym. Feel free to take breaks, just keep them legs moving." Coach blew his whistle, causing the boys to all start jogging.

Today the basketball team were just doing simple laps. Mainly because coach was too tired after teaching the new freshmen kids.

"Yo man, I swear I caught Baby staring at you at lunch." Jackson said jogging next to the boy. "I saw too." Kai said, joining the two. "Yeah right." Yoongi chuckled. "She was dude." Chanyeol said hearing the conversation from afar.

It was true. They did. They noticed her scribbling down stuff in a book while occasionally looking up at the boy.

"Really?" He asked, still believing the boys were pranking him. "Really." All three repeated.

Really? Yoongi thought

The cheerleaders practiced at the same time as the team. For encouragement according to the principal.

Hyuna and Jessi led the warmups, and the others followed. They had got a text earlier from Chaelin claiming Baby and her will come and wait for them. Since they had planned to go to the drive in movies, after dinner.

"Did you notice Baby staring at Yoongi earlier?" Hyuna asked Jessi, sneaking a peek at the boy. "Yeah, weird." She hummed.
"Ok girls, pyramid!"

Soon enough the gymnasium doors slammed open, surprising everyone inside.
A silver haired girl walked in, with another in her arms. Everyone identified them as CL and Baby.
The odd thing was Baby was sound asleep, looking adorable. Her hair laid covering her eyes and her lips were slightly parted, her chest rising with every breath. Moving ever so slightly.

Everyone cooed at her, but none as much as Yoongi. He felt a fluttering in the pit of his stomach and a tug on his heart. Jaw dropped, he nearly tripped, but quickly got himself together.

The two girls walked over the the benches, Chaelin made sure Baby was comfy, grabbing her jacket and covering her petite figure with it.
Baby had been having a bad day. The only person she could talk to was Chaelin, who decided to get her to sleep it off before tonight.

And who's Baby to say no to a nap?

"Bad day?" Hyuna asked squatting down to see Baby's face, unconsciously smiling at her. "Yeah." Chaelin sighed, stroking the hair of Baby's face. "She's so beautiful." Chaelin whispered.

"I'm pretty sure you're not the only one that thinks that."

Hyuna looked over her shoulder glancing at a certain blonde haired boy.
