Finding You

Chapter 20: Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter

It was the day after their concert in Yeouido and Yoongi was eager to check Alex's blog. It was around noon, which meant she had to have seen something regarding the concert already. Today he was working in the studio with some of the producers who normally helped with the album, but he was sitting back on the couch while they spoke with Namjoon over a track for the new album, one that was particularly important to him called Whalien 52. Yoongi gladly took this time that the three of them were distracted to check Alex's blog and maybe even see if she was still awake. It was a school night for her, seeing as it was still Thursday night where she lived so he wondered if she would be awake. Knowing her sleeping habits, he had a suspicion she might be.

He logged onto the app and was immediately greeted by the notification that he had messages in his inbox. Curiously, he opened them and saw they were all from her...and she was typing in caps. The first time he had seen that it had thrown him off because there was no concept of capital or lowercase letters in the Korean alphabet but, after a while, he had grown used to what it meant.

[Received at 11:21 AM]: Okay please don't think lowly of me but I am going nuts. I NEED to talk to someone about this and normally I would talk to Jess but she is studying for a midterm right now and I cannot disturb her with this. So yeah, sorry in advance.

[Received at 11:22 am]: OKAY SO MIN FUCKING YOONGI DYED HIS HAIR PINK AGAIN, AUGUST. I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN NON-STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I WANT IT LATELY AND HE DID IT.

[Received at 11:22 am]: I HAVE BEEN MADE UNREASONABLY HAPPY BY THIS AND I FEEL SO FUCKING STUPID. I SHOULD NOT BE SO IMPACTED BY SOME SOUTH KOREAN MAN, THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW, DYING HIS HAIR PINK. BUT OH BOY, HERE I AM. HAHA.

[Received at 11:22 am]: I AM SMILING SO MUCH AND JUST GIDDY HAPPY BECAUSE HE LOOKS REALLY PRETTY WITH PINK HAIR. I ALSO LOVE THE BLUE COAT THING HE WAS WEARING BUT THAT IS BESIDE THE POINT. BUT YEAH, I AM A PATHETIC LONELY GIRL WHO GETS HAPPY WHEN SOMEONE I HAVE NO REAL CONNECTION TO AT ALL DYES THEIR HAIR. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME I HAD TO GET THIS OUT TO SOMEONE. OKAY THANK YOU.

[Received at 12:06 PM]: Hehe. Please don't pay attention to any of that, I had a mental breakdown of some sort.

[Received at 12:06 PM]: No wait. Better excuse:

[Received at 12:06 PM]: That wasn't me. It was my evil twin...Xela.

Yoongi laughed but no sound really left his mouth. Instead, he just clapped his hands together once and then shook his head slightly. Both Namjoon and the producers who they were working with looked back at him but he didn't particularly care. They probably thought he had watched a funny video and he was okay with that, even if it did make him look slightly unfocused. It was better than them knowing he was talking to someone and actually being unfocused. However, Yoongi knew by the look on Namjoon's face, the way his eyebrow was slightly quirked and his eyes were set into a knowing gaze, that his groupmate was well aware of what was truly happening. Yoongi gave him a little smile, not feeling threatened or worried in the least and then looked back down at his phone, rereading everything she had written so he could start formulating a response.

What she had written was beyond his understanding, but it wasn't like he had never been confronted by it before; he had grown accustomed to people getting emotional because they were overwhelmed. He had just never experienced that feeling of choking up because of a celebrity so it didn't completely make sense to him. However, Alex being herself, ended the spiel with the lame humor he was used to and he loved it just as much as any other time she had delivered it.

What Yoongi found particularly amusing was the fact that she kept specifying she had no connection with him. He wished he could tell Alex, let her know that she wasn't as insane as she thought, but it was not something he could even consider doing. Friend or not, he was not that stupid and he'd be ruining a good thing. Not to mention, she'd probably tell other people and cause a scandal; he wasn't willing to let this situation blow up in the face of the other members when he was the only one of them actually involved.
