The weekend finally rolled around. 

Saturday.

My day off.

Thank god...

After the odd exchange with your 'Genius' the day before, your emotions were totally conflicted throughout the rest of your shift. 

And for some whack reason you weren't able to wipe the pathetic smile off your face...

But why?

Because he called you pretty?

Because you could feel yourself getting closer to him?

I really am basic as f**k , huh?

After all, he did bring his friend into the cafe for the very first time. 

That must mean something, right?

Or was it just to make more of a spectacle out of you?

You couldn't help but feel simultaneously annoyed at the situation. Like how he's always there to catch you just as you're about to do something stupid. 

Was it your fault or his that everything turned out as humiliating as it did for you?

Clearly you're just an idiot...

And clearly he relishes in witnessing your embarrassed state. 

All of it was too much for your simple brain to wrap around and you quickly conceded, taking Ji-euns advice to enjoy your weekend off.

Your best friend suggested the pair of you go shopping today. A little retail therapy and distraction never harmed anyone, right?

Although you weren't sure if this would be the best distraction. 

Watching Ji-eun try on dress after dress could almost be seen as a new torture method. 

The Middle Ages seriously missed out...

In the walk in between another outlet shop, you pulled your phone out of your pocket to see if you'd received any new messages since the last time you checked, 

Which was literally only 5 minutes ago.

[0 unread messages]

Of course. 

Why is it always when I'm waiting for something that it never comes?

Closing your phone, you looked up to find Ji-eun now standing in front of you with a questioning look. 

"Girl, what are you doing?" she asked, eyeing at the phone in your hands. 

"Nothin-"

"Don't tell me you're texting your lover-boy instead of helping me find the perfect dress!" she whined teasingly. "You haven't taken your eye off that damn phone all day!"

"I wasn't texting him," you answered honestly, your shoulders slunking down in slight disappointment. 

"Ohh.. I see whats happening!" she piped back up. "You're hoping that if you stare at your phone long enough he'll magically decide to message you, right? Come on girl, you're better than that!"

Damn, her best friend telepathy is strong...

"Now lets go! Today was meant to be a fun distraction for both of us!" she said trying to pull you out of your troubled thoughts.

You let out a small groan, finally admitting to yourself that she had a point as you let her drag you into the next shop. 

"I heard we might be hiring a new person by the way," Ji-eun said as she flipped through the clothes racks. "The boss-man told me he was going to trial someone at the cafe next week... and he wants us to look after them."

"Great, another thing to do..." you moaned at the thought of having to baby-sit. 

"Think of it this way," Ji-eun paused, quirking up her eyebrow. "If we don't like them, all we have to do is tell the manager and he will listen to us!"

"That's true, but the amount of extra work our manager is making us do... he could at least pay us more!" You responded, frustration undeniable in your tone.

Your best friend silently nodded her head in agreement, before continuing on with her search for the perfect dress. 

It had to be black, of course. She never allowed any other color to enter her wardrobe. 

She was weird like that, but you were used to it now. 

As you both finished rifling through the store's collection, unsatisfied and about to move to the next store, you felt your phone vibrate in your pocket.

An ounce of excitement washed over you and your previous feelings of disappointment quickly evaporated as you whipped your phone out to check the new message.

[13:45] DOMINO's: 1 DAY OFFER!! 40% off Domino's Traditional & Premium Piz....[read more]

-

God dammit...!

You let out a deep sigh, those disappointed feelings coming back tenfold. You probably get more text messages from Domino's Pizza these days, than from actual people.

I seriously need to unsubscribe from these...

But then again...

...

that's a pretty good deal.

Shoving your phone back in your pocket, you shuffled after Ji-eun who was making a break for the next store.

Sunday

You groaned loudly in your bed, the thought of having to go back the grind of working tomorrow completely killing your mood. 

Yesterday's shopping trip had completely sapped all the energy out of you and last night's impulsive pizza delivery induced you into the worlds biggest food coma. 

Today was undoubtedly going to be a lazy day. 

You easily distracted yourself for the better half of the morning with a new fan-fiction you'd found online. 

The beautiful tale of Kim Seokjin discovering inter-dimensional travel, going across alternate realities and falling in love with different versions of himself. 

It was so passionate and beautifully written, it completely captured the 'Love Yourself' message in every way shape and form.

Just as you were at the climax of the second last chapter, your phone vibrated, disappointingly knocking you back into reality. 

-

[10:22] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥:  WYD?

-

You were so utterly surprised that you temporarily forgot his existence, seeing as yesterday you couldn't drop your phone for a second in the hopes he might message you. 

A smile crept it's way onto your face, now completely neglecting the fan-fiction you were so absorbed in only moments ago.

Not wanting to come across as too eager with your response, you forced yourself to wait a few more minutes before hitting 'send'. 

-

[10:25] In Denial💜:
Just reading... you?

-

Not a minute later and he'd already seen your reply, those 3 moving dots instantly appearing in the chat screen causing your heart to flutter.  

-

[10:26] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: What are you reading?

[10:26] In Denial💜:
Never mind that.. You wouldn't like it. 

[10:27] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: How would you know?

[10:28] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: Oh, don't tell me...

[10:28] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: You're not into reading fan-fictions, are you Yoongi's Girl?

-

Oh my god howw...

Thankfully you were currently hiding behind the safety of your phone screen and he wasn't able to see just how flustered he made you from his almost too perfect guess.

Just play it cool... 

-

[10:28] In Denial💜:
Fine, I won't tell you.

[10:28] In Denial💜:
And you didn't answer my question..

[10:28] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: Aww, you're no fun.

[10:29] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: And it's my day off

[10:30] In Denial💜:
What exactly is it that you do?

[10:31] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: Never mind that..

-

Of course. 

Throwing your phone away out of frustration, your eyes almost rolled to the back of your head over how secretive Mr 742 was. 

After a brief intermission, you sulked back over to your phone, picking it up and typing out a response, your lack of self-control always getting the better of you. 

-

[10:42] In Denial💜:
Are you going to keep dodging my questions forever?

-

You watched your chat screen as the 3 moving dots appeared and then disappeared. 

Why is it so difficult?

-

[10:45] In Denial💜:
Let me guess, another one of your secrets??

[10:46] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: How did you know?

[10:47] In Denial💜:
Do you just sit around all day figuring out more ways to bother me?

[10:48] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: It's one of my many talents.

[10:48] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: Does annoying you count as a job?

[10:49] In Denial💜:
Do you get paid to do that?

[10:50] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: Your reactions are payment enough.

[10:51] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: You keep getting annoyed like that and I'll be a billionaire in no time

[10:52] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: 

-

This jerk...

Despite just cursing him, you were uncontrollably smiling. 

Only a 'Genius' could make my heart race and annoy me at the same time... 

Never having seen the bottom half of his face uncovered before, you shook your head to erase the unwelcome thoughts that were entering your mind.

For the rest of the day, Mr 742 was messaging you back and forth as if he really had nothing better to do, but that didn't stop you from jumping up with excitement each time your phone buzzed. 

In between all of that, you quickly finished the last fan-fiction you were reading and moved onto another which seriously caught your eye.

Magic and BTS?

Count me the hell in.

As the night dragged on, you became almost too consumed in your new story, that you almost missed the new notification coming from your 'Genius'.

-

[22:15] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: I'm going to sleep now. Don't stay up too late thinking about me.

[22:15] 🔥Black Coffee Asshole🔥: Sweet dreams, Yoongi's Girl.

-

Great. I'm not going to get any sleep tonight, am I?

Hello Angels!

So sorry for the delayed update! I hit a massive roadblock with writing out this chapter to a point where I felt satisfied enough to publish it.

Just an FYI, the fan-fic blurb included in this chapter for "Affinity for your Heart" is actually a real story! It's co-authored by myself and a close friend on our joint account: bangtan-charms 
Check it out, if you get the chance!! 

Hope you're all enjoying where the story is heading! I like to see this chapter as being the calm before the storm, right before the start of a new saga starting over the next few chapters.

Please leave lots of comments and feedbacks! And don't forget to vote! ^^

Is everyone stuck into BTS World now? I just downloaded it and it has consumed me LMAO.

As all ways, sending out lots of love and hugs to everyone, where ever you are on this tiny planet. Love you all!

❤❤❤ Katie ❤❤❤
