PASSERBY

Y/n's P.O.V

I'd already read a large potion of the novel and it was now around 6:00pm. I could tell why the book is a best seller... it's beautiful.

The writing style complimented the concept and plot line.

The main character was said to be the author himself. This made the story so much more personal.

The story was heartbreaking... the struggles he's had to live through. The way people thought he was mean and emotionless made me relate to how I was underestimated throughout my life. AGUST D, the author, really had a way with words.

I was on the last chapter now. Things were seemingly getting better for the guy, he had met a new group of friends who were now supporting him. He explained how he was feeling better about himself and who he was.

I had got to say.

This book might have been the best book I had ever read.

A thought lingered in my mind after that: didn't Yoongi say he disliked it?

To me that seemed impossible. This book was a masterpiece.

I would have to ask him to consider reading it again because no way would I let anyone hate on this book.

I peered over at the time again.
6:20pm.

I got ready for my date tonight. Can you believe it? I move to Seoul and in one day I already have a date. He's handsome too. I giggle to myself as I recall the past me who would be too self conscious to speak to the people around, and the me now who confidently talked to guy who randomly swore in the streets.

I tried on a dress I had. It was a pretty standard dress, nothing too amazingly beautiful. But hey why would I want to force myself out of my little comfort zone.

I continued to think about my comfort zone. Why was I so strict about the way people saw me? I thought I'd changed from the little girl who'd sit quietly at the back of the class. But maybe I was still the same? Deep down I still hated the way that I walk, I still dislike my voice, I don't like my hands, I wish I had clearer skin. I pretty much wish I looked completely different...

But this is reality. You can't just wake up one day and all problems be completely fine. I figured it was time to 'Face Yourself'

Just like AGUST D.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Opting for a more unique outfit would be my first change. Even if I feel like I don't fit in, I should love the way I am no matter what. I'll chose the outfit that represents me for me.

That's exactly what I did. I fancied my hair and did my makeup. And for once, I was content with the way I looked.

I started to walk to the restaurant, I think I'd be a little early but it'll be fine.

Yoongi's P.O.V

I look like shit. Pure ass shit. Y/n would just walk out as soon as she saw me.
"Wow. Yoongi you clean up nicely." Namjoon patted my shoulder. I still hadn't forgiven him for the suit earlier so I scowled at him.

"I feel awful..." I loosened the tie that hung round my neck.
I could feel tears welling up in my eyes... for fucks sakes... I don't have the balls to do this. How do people even go out to meet people and get 'together?'

"Here's the man of tonight!" Hoseok poked my arms and pretended to swoon over me.

"I feel like shit." I stated as the rest of the guys came in to see me.

"Yoongi for god's sakes, you look great." Seokjin sounded annoyed.

"But look at my eyes! I look so dead... and my skin it's so pale!" I complained restlessly.

"Stop being so miserable. You need to get some damn confidence!" Someone complained at me.

I sighed glaring at my reflection.

"You tell everyone to face themselves and they find love and support in your book. But here you are on the verge of tears because you can't love yourself." Namjoon stood beside me and held my shoulder softly.

"We are here to support you man, come let's get you to your date." He pulled me in for a bro hug and we all got in the car to the Rosertaunt.

I felt myself shaking and breathing heavily as the car got closer to the restaurant.

"Woah woah, hyung chill man." Jungkook stared to me.

"Guys? What if she doesn't turn up? What if she walks out on me? How do I know if she actually likes me? What if she didn't like my book? Do I tell her I'm AGUST D?" I panicked as we parked outside the place.

"Hyung, this night is all up to you. We will sit at the back of the place, but we will not interfere. If she likes you, she likes you. If she hates you, she's missing out." Jimin smiled to me.

"Now go Yoongi go!" Everyone shouted as they threw me out of the car.

I breathlessly walked up to the door. The restaurant looked nice. The food looked nice. I guess the guys will walk in after I sit down. I realised I'd been at the front door for a while... I guess I was unconsciously stalling.

I took a few deep breaths and readied myself to enter.

"Go," I whispered to myself.

I opened the door, I was immediately met with a calming atmosphere. The music was slow and peaceful... I looked around the place to see if I could find Y/n.

I blushed deeply as I made eye contact with her.
Wow... just wow...
