Chapter 23

A Week Later

To put it simply, yes, I have been avoiding Yoongi for a week.

After the lip-to-lip action, I freaked out and flew home.

My heart was beating a million times per second and my entire body was on fire.

Of course my legs were still shot so I fell to the floor.

After that I refused to see or contact him.

I didn't pick up a call or text, I went to work everyday so I wouldn't have time to see him, and then when some creature came up I would go deal with it. Yoongi stopped by everyday, and when he did I would hide in my room and listen to him and Doyum play. It warmed my heart, but not enough for me to come out and watch.

Being in a friendship is risky enough. But being in love was another story. I didn't want him to get hurt.

I was at work, mindlessly staring at the company reports.

"Honey. Do you want to take a break? I'm a bit worried. You've been drowning yourself in work for the past week. And I'm worried about your mental health. You work as late as possible and then go fight. Is there anything you'd rather do than work?" My dad asked.

I thought hard.

"Do you want to train?" He asked.

My eyes lit up.

"Fine, but you know the rules," he warned.

Don't overwork yourself and no being in there for more than twelve hours.

I thanked my dad running to change into my fighting wear.

I was heading down into the invention basement where the gravity chamber was when I saw Hoseok talking to his mom.

"Hobi!" I exclaimed, running to him and pulling him into a hug.

He lifted me up and spun me around.

"I'll let you two talk," Hoseok's mom smiled.

He pulled me to the side where no one could hear.

"What's up with you? Yoongi called me saying that you've been drowning yourself in work to avoid him. And that whenever he comes over you stay in your room till he leaves," Hoseok said.

I bit my lip, "He knows about that?"

"Yeah and he's acting like a lost puppy. He has no idea what to do. He's been spamming me, constantly asking me how to get you to talk to him," he said.

I explained to Hoseok the whole ordeal of the kiss.

"I'm offended you didn't tell me earlier," he whined.

"Not the time. You know how I am with relationships. I'm putting everyone I love at risk just by being around them," I frowned.

"Dahye, you can't help that. You're more human than alien. Your heart is following what it wants. You can't stop your heart from being in love," he said.

In love?

Am I?

"But Hobi, if I saw anyone that I loved get hurt I would never forgive myself," I said.

I had always be protective of Hoseok, even if he was a few months older than me. He was the only friend I'd ever had, and I wasn't about to let him get hurt.

"I don't think this is about risk though. I think you want to deny that you're in love. It's not wrong to go after what you want. Remember I told you that you needed to do stuff for yourself sometimes too. All I can tell you is to follow your heart. You deserve to live dangerously. You're twenty-one years old. You're legally an adult and this is where you're supposed to be outgoing," Hoseok made a face.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Okay will you at least go out with me on the weekend? You need to get out of the house so that way Yoongi won't feel bad and you won't be stuck in your room indefinitely," he proposed.

I groaned, "Fine."

He smiled a big goofy smile, "Alright little lady, I'm off. Have fun training or whatever fighting related thing happens in that outfit."

I gave him a big hug.

"Don't overdo it," he warned.

"I already got the lecture from my dad," I whined.

He chuckled, hugging me tighter, "See you bestie."

"Bye~" I hummed.

I gave his mom a polite nod, heading into the gravity chamber.

I set it to five-hundred time more right at the start.

My body felt heavier, but because I've trained in it before, it didn't take too long for me to adjust.

The whole while I couldn't help but think about what Hoseok had told me.

Yoongi knew that I was avoiding him, yet he'd still try and come to see me.

I felt bad. I wasn't mad at him or anything. But to be honest it's exactly what Hoseok said. I'm scared to be in love. I don't know the first thing about it. I had to sort out my own feelings before I understood his. Whenever I'm around him my whole body just lights up. And my heart was always racing around him. But I've never experienced this before. It was a lot to think about. Especially with my 'career' I was worried about him. About us.

Yoongi POV

I stared at my ceiling in despair.

Dahye was avoiding me.

I wanted to give her time to think, but at this point I don't think she ever wants to see me again.

I felt my phone vibrate.

Hoseok: I guess I'm playing matchmaker now

Hoseok: I got her to agree to coming out with me on Sat.

Hoseok: Your chance is waiting for you

Me: Omg she actually agreed?!?!

Hoseok: Yes

Me: Ohhh wow, this is good

Me: I'll meet you at your place then

Hoseok: Whatever dude

Hoseok: I'm just trying to get you two together so the rest of us don't have to see how obviously you guys are in love

Me: Yeah sure thanks so much

Hoseok: You two owe me so much smh

Me: Yeah sorry I'll make it up to you

Hoseok: You better

Me: 👍🏼

I ran my fingers through my hair.

She agreed.

This was good.

A perfect opportunity actually.

I felt myself getting giddy over the fact that I'm going to see her again.

It makes my heart want to burst out of my chest.
