Comet | Min Yoongi

"Before we start this evenings festivites, if we could quickly have the board members come to the front so we may decide your fate."

JiSun rolled her eyes at the man's attempt at a cheeky joke, but she smiled and clapped along with the crowd.

"Good luck sweety!" Rika joked loudly towards Taehyung who bowed politely trying to hide his smile as he stood awkwardly waiting for Yoongi.

"He's excited for this." JiSun voiced aloud and Rika nodded as she heard, keeping her eyes on the stage.

"Yeah yeah." She shooed with a few lazy hand swats and JiSun huffed. "No one cares."

"The winner may collect his prize at the concierge desk." The man finally spoke into the microphone and JiSun looked up from the game she was playing on her phone. She clicked it off once she noticed the boys were near, putting on a smile.

"Did you win big?" JiSun hoped. Yoongi shook his head with a smile as the speaker continued egging on the crowd as he worked his way to the big event. He held up 3 fingers, signaling he placed 3rd. She gave him a thumbs up.

"First thing up, is the temple building. Proceeds go to Education and more specifically the library."

"Is this what we are bidding on?" Rika asked Taehyung quietly with a sly, quick slide his way. "I don't know what I'm giving up here." She joked and Taehyung smiled at her.

"Yes this is it." He nodded.

"Ticket number.... 1...7..3...5..3..4!" He read off after pulling the ticket from inside the large roller.

"Oh my god."

That was all it took for Rika and Taehyung to snap their attention to the young woman that just shot up from her seat. Yoongi had gasped as she stood also, he was holding two tickets. JiSun was holding the other two.

"Are you serious right now?" Yoongi asked with wide eyes as she spun on her heels towards Yoongi, tickets gripped tightly in her hands, and an excited open mouthed face.

He was going to actually have to purchase a building now. He was speechless.

What?!

"Oh my gosh." She said again, aloud, as shock and reality set in. Rika was now by her side with a large smile. "Ri- Yoongi oh my gosh!" She continued a bit louder, as her eyes found each person.

"Okay well let's go find the buying desk." Yoongi laughed slightly, grabbing the tickets out of her hand and grabbing that hand with his other.

"Congratulations love!" Rika cheered with a quick hug before she was drug away. "Building owner, look at you." She jokingly cheered. Yoongi was already pulling her away as she blindly followed in her I-Won-Im-On-Cloud-Nine state.

Her hand was warm in his, this was the first time they had ever held hands. Once he realized that they were walking alone, with no JiMoon, no Rika or Taehyung... and holding hands; Yoongi internally panicked.

Was this a sign? Why was he always looking for signs? Just keep the promise. It shouldn't be this hard. You are making it hard for yourself.

His brain was hard at work.

Yoongi let go of her hand as they walked towards the desk and received no reaction from JiSun. He sighed, a bit defeated and started watching his feet as he walked.

"You know." She said sweetly, sliding her arm into his. "I don't think I've ever seen you in a black tux." She smiled at him as the two walked slowly. "I will say it looks good."

He smiled and laughed at her statement.

"Your dress looks beautiful." Yoongi nodded politely at her. She sat down at the small bench, fanning the dress out as she adjusted one of the straps on her shoes. Yoongi sat down next to her, taking off his mask and rubbing his eyes.

"My dress is fabulous." She grinned at him." She paused. "Seriously, come on." She gently nudged his arm causing him to slightly waver as he sat. "Stop being like this."

"I'm not being like anything." Yoongi clarified.

"Okay JiMoon." She rolled her eyes and scooted herself away from him on the bench.

"I am not JiMoon."

"Are you positive? You sure are acting JUST like him." JiSun spat at him. "Let me remind you - JiMoon is not here anymore and you just spent a ton of money for God knows what and all you want to say is the dress is beautiful? We are not 13 years old anymore. Im trying to figure this out too and you wanna act like he's going to walk around the corner at any time." She finished fixing the clasp on her shoe and held her foot slightly above the ground to show it off. "What about my shoes, huh? What's JiMoon have to say about the shoes?"

"JiMoon would have murdered me the second he saw the shoes." Yoongi said calmly with a slight shrug.

"Why would you say that?" She exasperatedly asked. "You two are so dumb."

"Because he'd know they are Louis Vuitton's and then he'd see the dress that also costs more than his apartment." He paused to look at JiSun with an understanding look. "He would know its me." He whispered jokingly at her with his eyes closed.

"And then he'd see Rika." JiSun smiled at a faint memory of her brother's goofy smile.

"Ive just been murdered by the hands of your brother and all you care about his reaction to Rika?" He mocked offense.

"Well she looked really pretty tonight." She laughed. "Sometimes I miss his big stupid smile and he would have smiled real big." JiSun admitted. "Plus, the blue on Taehyung. " She gave an okay hand sign with a wink and Yoongi rolled his eyes. This is the playful banter she lived for.

"Well..." Yoongi sighed, thinking of the perfect thing to say. "I can tell you any story about him to make you smile anytime you need."

JiMoon was a big part of his life too.

The only thing that wasnt a big part of his life, was sitting next to him.

He was scared to even open the lock on that part of his life. He wanted it open, so badly, but the nerves often overtook him.

Yet here he was about to purchase a building.

"Even Jennie?" She asked. His mind snapped to reality, to the bench, to the building and just as in Yoongi's built up perfect world - his key in hand ready to unlock the the lock... crashed down with the mention of a measley name.

Every hurdle he had overcome, every boundary he had dared to break was built right back up. And there was JiMoon staring at him. Knowing.

"Jennie is a tough subject." Yoongi explained carefully.

But JiSun knew this, JiSun had heard this all before.

The same rehearsed bullshit fed to her over and over.

If only she had arrived home 10 minutes earlier that day.

"Yeah, I know." She said quietly, looking away.

"If you know, then why you continue to pester me about her?" He asked curiously.

She grinned after a few moments of looking at him. She pointed at his face.

"Easy." She said simply. "You get this little smile." She confirmed with a bop of his nose. "Everytime."

"Well... don't tell JiMoon about that, or he will flip out." Yoongi joked as he stood, feeling slightly ackward but extended his hand out for her to take anyway. She laughed and took his hand.

"There are tons of things he doesn't know." She winked at him, bumping her arm into his and the two continued towards the buying counter. "We will keep it that way."
