Just A Few Numbers Away

Chapter 17

The Red-Tipped Ears

When we got back to the room, Yoongi said he needed to go out for a bit to buy dinner and that he'll be back as soon as possible.

I simply nodded at him and said a quiet 'okay,' and then he left.

'Is he implying that he's staying?'

The thought sent a tiny jolt through me—not of pain, but of something much more dangerous: hope.

"You're acting weird." Angel said, breaking my train of thought.

"What weird?"

She chuckled and shook her head.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

I'm not.

I'm being selfish right now.

"I am. So stop worrying and just go home and rest. You're probably tired from today's work."

"I am. But I can't just leave you, you know."

"You can. Yoongi's staying... Probably..."

"Ohhh... He is??"

She looked at me with a glint in her eyes and a mischievous smile.

I sighed and nodded.

"Ohhh... Okay... And wait... So that's his name, huh? I'll keep that in mind."

And she chuckled a little.

"You didn't know?"

I looked at her, confused.

"Well, I never really got the chance to ask him earlier."

"Ohh... I see.."

"I'll go home once he's back, okay?"

"Okay."

Groooooowwwwwlll...

We both looked at each other and then we both laughed.

"It might take longer for him to come back, so you should go home, and feed that monster inside your tummy."

"How mean?! I'm not the only one who has a monster!!"

"Yes, yes. Now shoo..."

"How cruel!!! You're just lucky someone is buying you dinner! Hmmphh.."

She crossed her arms.

I looked at her incredulously.

"Alright, I'll leave and I'll never see you again!!"

She pointed at me while fake-glaring.

It made me wanna tease her more now.

"Okay. Bye."

I told her, feeling not bothered at all.

"What? You're not gonna stop me?!"

She looked shocked.

"Nope."

I said, while popping the P.

"Tsk. I'll get back to you for this once you're discharged."

"Ohhh... I can't wait..."

I laughed for a bit, but she just pouted harder.

"Stop laughing ate!!!"
