17
The tour was finally over and it was time for us to get back home and have some holiday break before our next schedule was announced.
After a few days resting and lazily doing nothing in my apartment, I finally called Yoongi and asked him to meet up. He told me to come to his studio after his class time was over, so here I was tonight at his music studio, walking to his classroom.
I slowly opened the door and peeked inside, I saw Yoongi tidying his stuff, back facing me.
"Ara! Come in." Yoongi turned his back and saw me, he tilted his head and gestured to me to come inside the room.
"Sorry I still need to prepare some music sheets for tomorrow's class. Wait for a while and after this we'll grab some dinner," He said, giving me his smile.
"It's okay, take your time," I said as I wandered around the room, looking at any random things there. It was my first time here, inside his classroom. There was a grand piano at the corner of the room and I walked there, playing the keys randomly.
"How was the tour? It's been quite some time I haven't met you!" He said.
"It was super great! I'll tell you everything later," I said excitedly to him.
Indeed it was quite some time, I had been touring for more than a month. It was tiring, but surely so much fun. I couldn't wait to share my experience with Yoongi.
"I kinda miss you, though," Yoongi said as he walked closer to me, giving me his little sweet smile.
That smile was just a little, but the impact on my heart was massive.
"I– I–" I stuttered as I tried to hide my blushed cheek, "You're done? Let's go grab our dinner," I said abruptly while Yoongi just smiled seeing my reaction.
"Hey wait, would you play a song for me first? I haven't seen you playing piano since the wedding," I asked him, tilting my head to the grand piano beside us.
"Okay, what song?" He asked, sitting on the piano chair, taking his position.
"Umm… anything? The one that you think suits me well." I shrugged. He thought for a while and then started to play the piano.
A soft melody started to chime, filling the air around us. I stood there beside the piano, resting my back on it as I watched Yoongi focus on his play. He played with his eyes closed, sometimes looking at me, but mostly just looked down at the keys.
It was beautiful.
Watching him play the piano was beautiful.
It reminded me of the first time I watched him, how his melody allured me and captivated me. And this time was no different, he still mesmerized me with all his charm.
The way his fingers moved with ease.
The way he tilted his head with his eyes closed and a little smile on his lips.
The way he looked at me.
I realized, I had fallen so hard for this guy.
And what made it worse was the melody that he played. Different from the Gesualdo song he played before, this song was so delicate and calming, it gave a warm and comforting feeling to my heart. A soothing feeling that said 'don't worry, I'll always be with you'.
So it was a song like this that he thought suited me well.
Just like dance, music was a form of expression without words. And did I get the right message from him through this song? Did he think the same thing as me while playing the song? Or once again, was it all just in my mind?
I can't.
The thought that it might just be one sided feelings really broke my heart. I couldn't bear it. I couldn't see him everyday after this with my bottled up feelings, but the thought of him rejecting me also feared me a lot.
I was so confused by my doubtful thoughts, my tears started to fall down my cheek unconsciously. And once it started, it was unstoppable. I started to sob and tried to hold my tears away.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Yoongi looked at me confusedly, he stopped playing his piano.
"I– I– … you need to stop it," I stuttered in between my sobs, "Please… just stop."
"Why, you don't like it?" He was still looking at me confusedly.
"No, please stop making me fall for you!" I finally said it out loud straight into his face, making him stunned at his place.
"I've been falling for you, Yoongi. And I fell hard!" I looked at him, mustering up my courage.
"I don't know when it started, maybe when you kissed me the last time, or when you called me cute, or– or even since you played that Gesualdo song at the wedding, I don't know?!" I poured my heart frustratedly, my sobs now turned into an ugly crying.
"But the feeling definitely grows inside me. And I now feel stupid because I know you're an anti-romantic, I'm just make a fool of myself. And the thought of you rejecting me is breaking my heart, I know you'll never love me back." I kept on my rant.
"Maybe you think of our last time together just as a meaningless one night stand, but for me it drives me crazy. And I just might ruin our friendship." I spat out my last emotions with me covering my face, not ready for his reaction.
I waited, but Yoongi just sat there, staring stunned at me. He didn't say anything. Maybe he still processed everything that I just said in his mind, or how to reject me politely, or maybe he just simply thought I was a crazy girl.
"I'm sorry. I– I–better go." I rushed to the door, trying the last attempt of saving me from getting a broken heart or even worse, humiliated.
"Salut d'Amour," Yoongi finally said, stopping my steps.
"Huh?" I turned to him, my all-messed-up mind couldn't process what he just said yet.
"My song for you," He said again.
"Salut d'Amour, means love letter. A song by Edward Elgar, which he dedicated to his fiance as their engagement present," He explained.
"Also, my love letter for you," He said as he walked closer to me, now standing face to face, "I poured all my feelings for you through this song," He said again, looking softly at me.
And now I was the one who got stunned. I stood there, staring at him with my mouth slightly opened. My brain was loading very slow, trying to permeate his words.
"Aish, that means I love you too, silly!" He said embarrassedly, I could see his pale cheek starting to turn red.
"W–what? –why? H–how come?" I stuttered, blinking my eyes rapidly.
I gaped with mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. I felt like butterflies were flying all over my body right now. This wasn't the reaction that I expected from him, but of course this was the one that I wanted!
"I don't know how?! Go ask yourself why you're making my heart go crazy like this!" He said again, avoiding my look, trying to hide his blushed face.
Argh, this guy was such a cutie!
"Damn, I miss you so much! I'm glad the concerts are finally over," He said, pulling me into his hug and kissing me lightly.
He kissed me over and over again, our lips smiled against each other.
"I love you so much, Ara. Be mine?" He asked as he rested his forehead on mine.
"I'm all yours, Yoongi," I answered, smiling ear to ear at him.
He held me tighter as we both couldn't stop our euphoric smiles. This was a moment that I would always treasure in my heart, and I knew he would too.
I let go of his hug and asked,
"Dinner? I'm starving."
He nodded at me as he put his arm around my shoulders, taking us out of the classroom, still with his happy gummy smile.
We walked to the nearest restaurant around the studio, hands intertwined with each other, enjoying the night air.
"Hey Yoongi," I said, breaking our comfort silence, "By the way, about the BTS concert… umm… it's not finished yet, they just announced their world tour dates," I told him.
"Aish… What? But I still miss you!" He frowned at me, crumpled his nose in a cute grumpy look.
"But don't worry, I still have a full week holiday before we start practicing again." I chuckled at his silly face.
"Okay, so this week you're totally mine!" He said again, pulling me tight into his arm, as we both walked in laughter together.
Well, I guess…
I really changed this anti-romantic guy into Mr. Romantic now.
