thirty four

danna ordered for the three of them, since yoongi had no idea about spanish food. he had to trust that she would pick something out that might be to his liking.

as they waited for their food to arrive, yoongi went on his cellphone to text. danna said nothing for a couple of minutes, but eventually cleared her throat to get his attention. she couldn't help the fact that it was bothering her. when his eyes met hers, she spoke. "isn't it rude to be on your phone while you're on a date?"

"sorry." he said awkwardly, setting his phone faced down on the table in front of him. "i was just talking with jonghyun's mother." he informed her. this information made her exppression turn blank. he had asked her out, and during their outing he was talking to another one. that was something she thought should not be done.

"yeah." danna wondered, pretending it didn't bother her. "what happened with her? why isn't she ever around? its like your son only has a father." her questions were a product of her curiosity and she hoped he could provide an answer to them.

from there, we had already known each other one whole year. and i left a ton of minor details of the story out. but theyre mostly unimportant. we really got to talking at work, and texting in the afternoons. he started telling me personal stories about his life that our other friends didn't know.

and we got so close, always talking to each other and smiling at work. that people started circling rumors that we were dating.

our male co worker (the one from the party) asked me one day. "are you and A going out?" and i got super red. and i said no, because we werent going out. so then he said, "then yall should just go out already. those looks you throw at each other are not the way people who are just friends look at each other."

that was when i started noticing too that A looked at me differently than he did other people. like when he talked, he was always smiling real big. and with other people he always had this small burdened smile. like he didn't wanna talk to them but he was doing so to be nice.
