13: Boba

Jisoo pov
"Guys, should I buy this?", Chaeyoung asked, holing up a baby pink dress.

"That's a bit revealing, isn't it?", I asked, narrowing my eyes at her choice. The dress was pretty, no question, but it showed cleavage.

Chaeyoung shrugged and walked to the dressing room. "I think it's nice, so I'm gonna try it on."

I looked after her with a confused smile. If she planned on trying it on anyway, then why would she ask about our opinion on it?

"Unnie, look at these!"

I turned around and looked at the shoes Lisa was pointing at. The heels were embellished with small Swarovski diamonds while the rest of it was plain black.  

"They're pretty", I mumbled and continued to look for something to purchase.

In the early evening, the three of us had decided to go shopping for clothes we could wear the next time we'd go to Aurora. Jennie had decided to stay at home.

After each of us had bought something we left the shop. We walked around for some minutes, searching for another store to shop at.

"Wait let's go to Gucci for a second. There is this one bag I wanted", Lisa said, pointing at the huge Gucci sign.

An employee greeted us as we entered and asked if we were searching for something specific. While Lisa described what she was looking for, I let my gaze wander.

At the sight of a small group of men I stopped.

Slowly I walked towards them, thinking I spotted someone I knew.

"Yoongi?"

The man turned around and when he saw me he pulled down his mask. "Oh, Jisoo-yah."

I smiled at him and pulled my mask down as well, revealing the rest of my face.

"What are you doing here?", he asked. The other two boys behind him have seemed to notice me as well as they pulled down their masks too.

"I'm shopping with the girls."

I pointed behind me and watched Yoongi, Jungkook, and Jimin look into the direction I was pointing at.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Lisa look at the bag she wanted.

Chaeyoung had seemed to notice my absence since she started to look around, searching for me. Her gaze landed on me and then on the boys behind me.

She smiled and waved before turning back around to Lisa.

"Well, then I didn't want to disturb you so I guess I'm gonna go now", I said, bowing to them slightly.

"Ah, Jisoo, wait."

Yoongi's voice made me turn back around again. He was scratching the back of his head and looked at me with a lopsided grin.

"You wanna get something like- I don't know... boba?"

I glanced at the two boys standing behind him, who looked at him with raised eyebrows.

With a smile on my lips, I shrugged. "Sure why not."

We waited for Lisa to pay for the bag she wanted and together the six of us left the store. Yoongi and I were walking in the front while the others followed us.

We went into a side alley, which led to a small boba shop. All of us ordered and Yoongi insisted to pay for us.

"Hey, have you heard about the rumor of Jinyoung and Seulgi dating? Crazy, isn't it?", he asked as the two of us were waiting for our drinks.

The others already sat down at a table, way in the back of the store.

"Nope. And even if they are, I'm happy for them", I mumbled. I indeed would be happy for them, even though the thought of it made me feel kind of uneasy.

"Are you sure? I mean you've been crushing on him for a long time and-"

"But I'm not anymore", I interrupted him while rolling my eyes.

Why was he so interested in who I was crushing on anyways?

"Really?", he looked at me with a raised brow.

"Yeah! Look, if there's a boy telling me he'd like me I could totally imagine myself wanting to get to know him better and liking him back in the end. I'm ready to fall in love again."

I smirked over-confidently and watched an employee finish our boba.

"Okay", Yoongi muttered with a cheeky smile, "I like you. Why don't we start dating then?"

"What?"

I looked at him with widened eyes, not having expected him to say that.

"I'm joking, Jisoo." He flashed his gummy smile at me and took three of the drinks, bringing them to the others.

I looked after him for a few seconds, trying to calm down my heart that was beating faster for the hint of a second.

Then I took the remaining drinks and walked over to them, placing the boba on the table. I sat down next to Yoongi and put the straw into the cup.

While the others engaged a heated conversation, Yoongi and I stayed silent, watching them for a few minutes.

"Lisa looks kinda out of it", Yoongi mumbled, leaning into my direction.

"Mhm, she does. Maybe because Hoseok's not here?", I proposed and took a sip of my drink.

"Has she told you how things played out like that in that night?"

"Nope. She never really mentioned what and how it happened and we don't want to ask her, y'know?"

"Same thing with Hoseok. He refuses to talk about it", he responded and leaned back into his seat.

I watched him smile at the younger ones and tilted my head.

I couldn't stop thinking about his words from earlier. Even though he said that he was joking, his words triggered something inside of me that I haven't felt for a long time.

It was the familiar warmth in my stomach that I had only felt when I saw Jinyoung.
Just this time I wasn't looking at Jinyoung, I was looking at Yoongi.

I chewed on a boba pearl while looking up and down at him.

There was nothing against us dating each other so why not try it?

The only thing I could think of that was in the way, was the fact that he probably saw me as a little sister, rather than a woman.

He turned his head and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

"What are you thinking about?", he whispered.

I shrugged my shoulders and just smiled at him.

I wanted him to see me as a woman and I knew for a fact that I could change his mind.

I wanted to make him repeat his words from earlier once again, just when he does, he should really mean them.
