unexpectedly experience or be faced with (something difficult or hostile).

i woke up to the sound of the doorbell, and drowsily stole a glance from my alarm clock.
who in god's name is at my doorstep at seven in the morning?
after reluctantly removing myself from my comfortable bed heaven, i made my way to the door. the peephole was too tall for my liking, so i didn't even bother trying to look through it; being 5'1" definitely had its disadvantages.
i peeped through the small crack in the door and i could already pinpoint who the person was by the hint of fluffy mint green hair.
"oh, it's you." i said while staring up at him. he stood against the doorway while looking down at me.
"i forgot how short you were when i first met you." he chuckled lightly, "it's nice to see you when you're not in a hospital gown."
i almost smiled when he said that.
almost.
"i guess it is," i reply while leaning in the doorframe, "kind of sucks that we met under those circumstances; let alone not being able to catch your name."
"the name's yoongi," he shrugged, "and i understand more than you think, trust me." he added while rolling his eyes, "being in a hospital doesn't put anyone in a good mood."
i couldn't help but arch my brow at that statement.
"is that why you decided to gift me a cat?" i asked.
"oh, you mean that black alley cat i found?" he questioned, "she matches your personality well, doesn't she?"
"i guess you could say that," i replied while gesturing to the black feline curling around my legs, "she still has no name though."
"well, that needs to change, doesn't it?" he said while sitting on the couch, "i had a name in mind when i first saw her."
i glance at him while holding the unnamed cat.
"and what do you suggest?"
he sat in deep thought before saying anything.
"nyx."
"nyx?"
he nodded in agreement.
"why nyx?" i asked, curious to know why he chose such a peculiar name.
he lifted himself from the couch and shrugged his shoulders.
"a character i studied back at university." he sighed.
"interesting." i mumbled while holding the cat in my embrace.
"i just came by to see how you and your feline friend were holding up," he chuckled.
he walked over to my small figure and crotched down to the nyx's level all the while running his hand through the cat's midnight coat. he stood up meeting my eyes wholeheartedly and smiled.
"i have to go now," he said, ruffling my bed hair before sauntering his slim body towards the door, "have a good day, yuna."
and with that, he left.
i let out a breath i didn't even know i was holding.
through this crazy encounter, out popped a new friendship that i might have more in common with than i ever thought i would.
i have a sudden urge to know more about this mysterious character that has waltzed into my life all of a sudden.
who exactly is yoongi and why does he care so much?

btw nyx is a goddess of darkness, and i thought that name fit pretty well uwu.
aLSO, thought i should mention that fact that my friend is thriving and she legit deserves every ounce of it.
