He wouldn't have said he was looking forward to it, per say, but perhaps he could admit to wanting to see Jungkook in a happier state rather than the sick, crying mess than hurt his heart so badly the last time.

Yoongi pulled up to an empty parking spot next to the boy's house. After waiting a few seconds, he gave the horn a quick beep, which seemed to trigger the violent swinging open of the front door to Jungkook's house.

And there stood the boy, in a sleeveless white tee and jeans, his expression lighting up like a Christmas tree the moment he saw Yoongi. However, he caught himself, and pursed his lips so as to subdue the intensity of his smile.

It was quite a change from last time. Quite a change from miserable, heartbroken, sickly Jungkook - now, it looked like the boy couldn't be any happier.

With nothing on hand but his wallet and phone which he kept in his pockets, Jungkook rushed over to the passenger's side of Yoongi's car and climbed in as quickly as he could.

"What's the rush, kid?" Yoongi gave him a curious side-eye as he prepared to change gears. "Mall doesn't close till 9 tonight. Or do you have to be back before a certain time?"

"No, that's not it," the boy shook his head, still smiling, "I just didn't wanna keep you waiting, that's all. I've been...looking forward to this all week."

The boy's somewhat shy nature revealed itself in his fidgety movements, and in Jungkook's lightly dusted cheeks which Yoongi really wished he could have just ignored. But it was downright adorable.

He cleared his throat and looked ahead at the road. "So, you're ready then?"

"Yup! Ready to go."

A relief. That's all Yoongi could think of this. Such a relief that the boy could still smile.

As Jungkook's first real friend, Yoongi was determined that this day went well for him.

A twenty minute drive later and Yoongi was pulling into another parking spot, this time in the large parking lot of the mall closest to Jungkook's house. The younger made no hesitation to eagerly hop out of the vehicle upon arrival, whereas the older took a moment to grab his camera bag he had placed in the back seat.

He was a photography major. It became almost a habit to take it everywhere.

"Oh, were you planning to take pictures, hyung?"
