Eight
Yoongi was silent. Daisy looked up at him just in time to see him turn around to pick up his drink.
"Why are you scared of me?" He said, his voice soft. He looked directly at her, his eyes meeting hers.
She shrugged and Yoongi sighed, sounding almost sad.
"I would never hurt you, Daisy," He said, taking a gulp of his lemonade, "You know that, right? I don't lose my temper for no reason, especially with girls. And I don't hit women," He pushed away from the counter and headed towards the door.
"Y-Yoongi!" Daisy called after him, and he turned to look at her, his face sad, "Why do you keep staring at me?"
He sighed, running his fingers through his thick hair. For some reason, the motion made Daisy's heart skip a beat.
"Because you're cute," He said, a smile forming on his lips that made Daisy's mouth go dry, "And I really like Kumamon," He gestured to her jumper, before heading out the doorway, letting out a quiet, breathy laugh.
Daisy's mouth dropped open and suddenly, Bee was back in the room. She reached out and closed her mouth, "Trying to catch flies?"
She dropped some ice into their glasses and handed Daisy one, who was still stood there, shocked.
"You spoke to Yoongi, I hope," Bee said, "He's a really sweet guy, despite how he looks,"
Daisy took a deep breath and nodded, finally coming to her senses. She took a large gulp of the drink and looked over at her friend, "Yeah, I believe you, now,"
Once everyone had finally gone to bed (and Bee put both Taehyung and Jungkook in a cab home), Daisy began to look through the shopping bags that she had yet to empty from the previous day. After a few moments of searching, she found what she was looking for and gripped it tightly in her hand as she headed downstairs.
The living room door was closed, which meant that Yoongi had gone to bed, but she took a deep breath and knocked gently, half hoping that he wouldn't hear it.
However, her heart began to race when she heard his voice, muted behind the door, "Yeah?"
"I-It's me," She stammered, "Can I have a second?"
"Yeah, come in,"
Yongi was sat on the sofa with a duvet draped across his lap when Daisy opened the door. His laptop was balanced on the arm of the sofa and his headphones were around his neck, much like when she had first arrived here the other day.
"What's up?" He looked up and his eyes fixated on her Kumamon pyjama's. Suddenly, she finally understood that he hadn't been staring at her chest, he had been staring at the little black bear on her clothes.
"I um.. I have something for you," She said, lowering her eyes a little. Yoongi raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"B-Because I offended you, even though you've been good to me for years,"
He shrugged, "Don't worry about it,"
"B-but..." Daisy walked towards him and thrust her hand out. In her palm, still in the little plastic wrapper, was a little plush Kumamon keychain.
His eyes widened and she saw his hand move from his laptop, "For me?" A soft smile appeared on his face, "That's- Well, thanks," He gently took it from her hand and carefully ripped the packet open before gingerly lifting the little bear in his long fingers. He leaned down, grabbing his laptop bag from the floor and immediately attached it to the zip.
"So cute," He muttered under his breath, staring at the bear, and Daisy felt herself smile. She could never have imagined that he would act so cute just because of a little teddy bear. It made her feel a little less wary of him.
"What are you always doing on your laptop?" She asked suddenly, leaning over a little to take a look. She wasn't sure where the confidence had come from, but he didn't seem to mind.
"Writing lyrics," He said, tearing his eyes away from the keyring to look at her.
"You write music?"
He nodded, "Want to have a listen?" He placed the laptop bag down on the floor and lifted the blanket, realising that she was only in a pair of shorts and vest top. She smiled a little nervously and nodded, sliding in next to him; not quite touching.
He lifted the headphones from his neck and placed them on her carefully, "Okay, so this is the one I'm working on at the moment,"

Jimin had his arm tightly around his girlfriend's waist as they made their way down the stairs. He frowned as the passed the living room when he realised that the door was ajar.
"Hyung?" He poked his head in, only to gasp in shock, "Daisy?!"
"What is it?" Bee wriggled underneath him to take a look, and grinned, "I guess she spoke to him, then," She tugged on Jimin's belt, "Leave them alone, they're still sleeping,"
"But- but she's leaning on his shoulder and his arm is around her- wait, Bee, that is not allowed, she's my baby sister!"
"Yeah, yeah, come on, get moving," Bee pushed the protesting Jimin out of the room and gently closed the door behind them, a knowing smile on her face.
