JOOHEE's POV

"Wow, it's beautiful here." I stared around in awe at the lights spread around me. Gotta admit, Seoul's famous shopping distinct look even more mesmerizing at night.

"Yoongi-ah~ Wait for me!" Jihye run pass me to catch up with her boyfriend in the front. She didn't miss the chance to bumped my shoulder on the way. The hell is her problem...

"Did you see that?" I asked Jimin who was walking beside.
"That bitc- I mean girl just purposely hit me."

"Ignore her, she's probably just jealous." Jimin replied.
Tf? What is there to be jealous about me? She's the one who's dating Yoongi for god's sake.

"How are you with that hyung anyway?" Jimin asked.
"Still talking normally?"

"I'm trying to." But this dumbass feelings just get in the way whenever I try and talk to him. Now I understand why one-sided love is so hard.

"Who are you guys talking about?" I jumped in surprise when Hobi interrupted our conversation.

"Uh.... no one!" I shook my head.

"You're so weird these days." It looks like Hobi wasn't buying my bad acting.

"Where should we go now?" Taehyung asked.

We grouped together in the middle of the wandering crowd as we chatted amongst each other. The guys were obviously neglecting the attention and ogling eyes from the girls around the the place.

"We should go eat!" I suggested.

"No, we should go shopping first." Jihye insisted. I'm pretty she didn't even care about shopping, she just want to argue with me. I even notice she give me really bad attitude whenever the guys are not looking.

"Uh...." The grouped look uncomfortable as if they didn't know want to decide.

"I don't know about you guys, but I think we should go eat." Jin commented. My long lost brother~

"We're fine with anything." Taekook replied.

"Let's eat, I didn't eat anything till now." Hobi said and Jihye put on her resting b face.

"Yeah, I agree." I looked up and was greeted by the smiling Yoongi. Yoongi. just. agree. with. me. Act normal, Joohee. Act normal.

"Me too." Jimin joined in.

"Hope you don't mind that we go and eat first." Namjoon politely told the other girl.

"Yeah, I don't mind." She should work harder on that fake smile.

3RD PERSON's POV

The group scattered to different food court that have the food they desire. Most members wanted Korean food and only Jin, Namjoon, and Joohee prefer burgers.

Joohee trailed behind the two. This is what happened when you're friends with two person but they are closer to each other than you are. She's sure they don't mind that she join the convo but she prefer to third wheel and not interrupt the two.

"Joohee, what are you ordering?" Namjoon asked when they were in front of the counter, about to order.

"Cheeseburger combo." Joohee responded.

"Alright, it's on me!" Jin merrily stated.

Joohee didn't even have the time to refuses before another voice interrupted. A very familiar voice.

"No hyung, I'll pay." Yoongi walked toward the group with his unimpressed girlfriend behind.

"No! It's okay, I'll pay." Joohee insisted.

"Stop being weird, Joohee." Yoongi smiled.
"Nobody loves free food more than you."

He was satisfied about finally getting to talk to her. Yoongi knows that she's been avoiding him and it makes him want to talk to her more. Usually, he wouldn't even care if someone ignore him but this is not the case. Yoongi missed her voice.

The thing is, Yoongi is too dense. So dense to the point that he doesn't even know that Joohee have a special place in his heart. He was too blinded by the thought of Jihye being his crush for so long that he doesn't even realize his true feelings.

"Alright..." Joohee give in and try to act normal with him like the 'old days'.

"Yoongi, pay with my money instead." Jihye hand over her credit card.

"No." Yoongi gently push it away.
"Since this is my promise."

"Promise?" Jihye grimaced at the sound of that word.

"Woh hyung," Jungkook exclaimed.
"Your burger look delicious!"

"Here, have a bite." Jin took care of his young ones. Jungkook lean closer and ended up taking a big chunk that leave his hyung shook.

"Yah!" Jin whined, looking at the what's left of his burger.

"I'm sorry, but you cannot eat in here." The employee told the oldest hyung. It was a clothing store and they didn't want anything to spill on their products.

"Ugh." Jin throw a tantrum before walking out of the store because to him, food is priority.

Meanwhile Yoongi picked out one of the beanie that catches his eyes. He found a mirror nearby and decided to try for himself.

"Wow, you look good with beanie!" Joohee said. She took this chance to properly talk to him since Jihye was distracted by clothes somewhere else.

"Really?" He asked as he look at himself in the mirror. Indeed he was satisfied with his looks.

"Yeah, you look swag." Joohee give a thumps up and Suga find himself smiling.

*Joohee's back.* Yoongi couldn't but felt the rush of excitement going through him.

"Thank you." He told her with a huge smile.

She smiled back before grabbing one of the sport headband out of its stock.
"Here, try this."

Yoongi took off the beanie, fix his hair before trying on the headband that she picked.
Blood rushes to her cheeks watching how the headband fit so perfect on like like it was especially handmade just for Yoongi. She like the way his hair parted and exposed part of his forehead.

"How do I look?"

"Nice." Perfection is a better word. She thought.

Yoongi in headband might be her next favorite thing next to his gummy smile.

"Goodnight sunbae!" Joohee wave before she enter through her door.

"Wait." Yoongi said. It's too early, he doesn't want her to leave yet. Not when she's back with being herself.

"Yes?" She turn around and asked.

Yoongi doesn't know what to say, but he knows he need to say something to make her stay.
"You're feeling okay now, right?"

Joohee was stunned at the sudden question. To be honest, she's not feeling okay but she's trying.
"Yeah, why did you ask?"

"I notice you're acting different the pass few days. If there is anything you're having trouble with then you can always ask me for help." He sincerely smiled.

*What can you do if I say the problem is you?*

"It's nothing, I'm just sad that my favorite ice cream store near the school closes." Joohee lied.

"Oh that's it? You should've told me, I'll take you to an even better ice cream shop." Yoongi felt as if tons of weight was lifted off his shoulders since it was so small problem. But even if it is something big, he would still willing to do anything if he could get her to smile.

"Thank you, Yoongi." Her heart races at the determination in his voice.

"Anything for my neighbor." Yoongi replied.

*Yeah, I'm just a neighbor to Yoongi. Nothing more than that.* She mentally sighed.

"So cheer up, okay?!" He pinched one of cheeks while laughing of how silly and cute it makes her look.

"Aish!" She brushed off his fingers.

"This ahjussi....." Joohee massaged her face while chuckling at his action.

*That's the smile I'm looking for.* Yoongi thought.

"Anyway, goodnight now sunbae." She waved for the second time and he nodded.

"Umh, goodnight." Yoongi wave back while thinking of how he can sleep peacefully at night now that he got what he wanted to today. Her voice and smile.
