"Where were you? I just thought you went to the ladies room but when you're not there, I panicked." Your cousin said when you got back.

"Sorry, I just went out for a bit." You notice that she has a bottle of beer on her hand. "I need to have a drink too." You announce as you headed towards the bar where you get carded before getting a bottle. You took a long swig as you walk back to your cousin.

"Everything ok?" Elin asks you.

Before you can even answer, Hoseok, Namjoon and Jay comes back.

"We were looking for you outside." Namjoon said.

"I wanted to get some fresh air so I went walking for a bit.  I didn't mean to get you guys worried, sorry." There's no point in telling everyone what happened. You take another gulp of your drink.

"You are legal to drink right? Sorry, I don't mean to be rude by asking that." Namjoon tells you. Why can he be so nice to her while their friend isn't? You ask yourself.

"She is.  I am a year older than her,  though she already finished high school. Don't worry, it's all good." Elin answered for her.

Hobi interrupts her when he gives her a quick peck on her cheek. "We are going back again soon honey." He said. Namjoon smiles at them as he excuses himself.  Jay's phone rings after a few minutes they got into a conversation, so he too excused himself to take the call.

You look up the stage and see Yoongi join Namjoon and Hobi and he looks at your direction. You turn your back at him, as you drink your beer again.

"What happened?" Elin asks as she watches you drink your almost empty beer.

"I got pissed at someone, that's what happened." You answer.

"Oh my gosh, who?" Your cousin looks at you with concern.

The music starts playing and Yoongi starts rapping. "Him."

"What? How? What did he do?" She asks you showing pure concern.

"He dissed at me because of how I speak the language. He judged me before he got to know me. I thought we're going to hit it off together, but I am obviously wrong. So what if he's hot? If he's an asshole then that doesn't matter." You tell her.

"Oh, I'm sorry he did that to you. He is a nice guy, I don't know why he did that. I'm going to talk to him." Elin said, but you raise both your hands.

"No, don't even bother. He can think whatever he wants about me, I don't give a shit." You reply as you finish your beer.

"Oh boy, you're really mad at him." Your cousin remarks.

"I am, sorry for ranting on you. I've never been treated that way you see, it's like I got slapped in the face. He didn't have to do that to me if he didn't like me." You tell your cousin pouring out your frustration.

Your  cousin remains silent as she let's your anger cool down. Their second song starts playing and you can't help notice how the rhythm  is mellow and catchy. It's very relaxing and is quite perfect for the mood you're in. You can understand the lyrics better because it's slow. It's a song about love. A woman comes on stage to join them and the crowd cheers as she starts to sing, you turn to watch her. She has a great voice, and she is hot. Tall, slim with a sweet and innocent face. She walks towards Yoongi as soon as she finishes her part and when he starts rapping, she moves and dances next to him in quite a sultry way. He smirks as she wraps an arm around him. It's probably choreographed but you can't help wonder if the reason why he behaved the way he did earlier is because of her.

"That's Nikki, she's a singer and a rapper. She is about your age and she will be joining this agency to start her training as an idol next week. This is her last night performing here." Elin explains.

She's got a great voice. 

"Are they a thing?" You motioned your head at Yoongi's direction.

Elin shakes her head. "Not that I'm aware of. Nikki is nice but she's been with a number of guys. Namjoon is one of them." She whispers.

You nod your head, so maybe she is the reason why Yoongi behaved that way with you earlier. Wait, you realized you were making assumptions? Sheesh, that's not right at all. 

 "This song they're singing, is it a cover song?" You ask because you really like it.

Elin laughs. "No, no one does covers here. All songs everyone performs are their own. What they're singing right now is First Love. The three boys made it."

"I like it." You admit. Your anger is slowly disappearing as you let yourself get drawn to the music. You close your eyes as you move to the rhythm of the song. You open them as Nikki starts to sing and you find Yoongi's eyes on you. Your irritation with him comes back now he's looking at you again, what the hell for? Is he mocking you? The thought made you raise an eyebrow before flipping him off. The guy had the audacity to throw his head back and laugh. What the fuck? You tell yourself.

"Y/N, did you just raise your middle finger at Yoongi?" Your cousin asks you.

"I sure did. He deserves it for being such an ass." You reply. 

Elin laughs. "You've got guts Y/N. Didn't you just mention earlier that you like him?"

You scoff. "That was before I found out he's a jerk."

"He's a nice person once you get to know him." Elin said.

"After what he did, I don't know if I even want to anymore." You tell your cousin.

"Aw, don't be like that, give him a chance. He's really nice, I promise." Elin taps at your hand that's resting on the table.

Those words were in your thoughts as they finish their set. Your conversation with him at the staircase outside plays in your mind. Nah, your cousin is wrong, you conclude.  You excuse yourself to the ladies room and was making your way back when Kylee calls you on your phone. You signal to your cousin you're going outside so you can video chat your sister. You notice that Yoongi has joined your table and he looks at your direction. You turn your back and headed towards the door quickly.

Your line gets cut as you head outside so you call Kylee when you find a stronger signal a quieter spot. You sit on the spot you and Yoongi just had your conversation earlier. You know he's inside so you talk to your twin and update her about what's happening at your dad's place. 

"Did you get to meet Elin's boyfriend when you went here?" You ask your sister.

"No, she didn't have one when I was there. She did mention this guy who seems interested on her and seems like she likes him too." Kylee replied.

"Oh, they're a couple now. He's cute and he's a rapper." You tell her. "I'm at their gig right now." You explain. You wanted to share about Yoongi but your sister had to hang up because she's calling you from her work.

 You decide to get another bottle of beer before heading back to your table, you need to have a drink before facing Yoongi again. This is a good tactic to delay that moment too. The crowd has gone bigger, so it's quite crowded around the bar. Some of the guys eyes you but you ignore them. Your mood gets sour over meeting anyone tonight.

 When you turn from the bar, you see Yoongi standing a few steps from you. You give an exasperated sigh before walking to get past him but he blocks your way. You move in the opposite direction and he blocks you again.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" You ask in English. After how he responded to you speaking in Korean with him, you don't even want to even dare try it again.

"Are you mad at me?" He asks.

"No, I am so totally delighted with you I am jumping from excitement." He scowls at your sarcasm. He probably didn't get it so you explained. "This is the first time I got insulted by a guy after making the move to approach him. I'm telling you, that didn't feel good on my self esteem. " He continues to scowl looking totally bewildered. He still didn't get what you meant, but you didn't really care. You start walking, but he catches after you and blocks your way again.

"Wait, I just want to say, I shouldn't have talked to you that way earlier. I was wrong, I'm sorry." He tells you.

You roll your eyes at him. Now he's sorry, wow, that's quick. You wonder what changed his mind. You throw a look at your cousin, did she talk to him? She's watching the two of you, and that answers your question. In all fairness, he seems sincere. You look at him for the first time and you can't help notice that with him standing this close to you, it makes you see every detail of his features. From his smooth skin, his eyes, nose, his lips...damn those pink lips that he licks to moisten as he waits for  your response. You just want to pull him down  so you could have your own tongue trace the same path his had travelled. You shake yourself from those thoughts.

"Next time, do not do that to anyone. It's rude and it's very offensive." You tell him, still a bit upset but your defenses have gone weak now. How can you stay mad when you can almost feel his minty breath on your face?

"Fine, I accept your apology." You reply in a flat tone, trying your best not to show he's getting into you. The mood you had earlier which was to chase after him got deflated after he rebuffed you. Sure, you still feel attracted to him but you don't want it to be easy for him.  

The corners of his lips turn up. "That doesn't sound sincere." He tells you. 

"Well the fact that I am still standing in front of you instead of flipping you off again and leave means I did accept your sorry." You reply flashing him a forced smile intentionally.

He laughs at your response. "You're something."
