...Saturday Morning...

"Someone is honking!" My mother's voice floated into the room, while I was resting on my couch.

With a curious glance outside the window, I spotted a car outside. But upon scrutinizing my eyes even more, my heart leaped with joy as I recognized the faces of my friends.

"It's my friends!" I exclaimed. Hastily grabbing my bag and giving a quick kiss on the cheek and bidding goodbye to my mother, I dashed out of the house.

"Good morning Y/n ..." y/n was greeted by cheerful and energetic morning wishes by Taehyung, Emily and Jimin...

"Good morning" I replied, feeling the infectious energy of my friends enveloping me. Taking the front seat beside Emily, and we drove to University

...At the auditorium...

The auditorium buzzed with excitement, a chaotic scene of eager whispers and animated gestures as students clustered into their own worlds of conversation in groups. Amidst the bustling auditorium, we made our way inside.

Suddenly, the teacher's voice cut through the noise, commanding attention with its authoritative tone. "Take your scripts from the first desk, and be seated.", she announced, her words echoing over the murmurs of the crowd.

Forming a line, we eagerly retrieved our scripts, anticipation mounting with each passing moment. As we settled into our seats, the rustle of paper filled the air, mingling with the hushed tones of students flipping through pages, absorbing the words before them.

The teacher's voice once again broke the noise. "Students," she began, her gaze sweeping over the room,
"This play consists of seven scenes, each one consisting of parts.", she paused and again continued,
"You all may now go through the scripts."

After sometime...

"The story is interesting", y/n commented her voice a whisper of excitement.

Supporting Jimin chimed in with enthusiasm, "Yes! It's a lovely story, perfect for the kids. I am excited to get into those emotions of the character. I must say my character, is really a good one!"

Stopping, Jimin's gaze shifted to Taehyung, who sat with a smile playing at the corners of his lips.

*In mind* What's making him to smile???

Intrigued by his friend's silent amusement, Jimin couldn't help but voice his curiosity.
"Bro, why are you smiling?" he asked, prompting Y/n and Emily to turn their attention towards them.

Taehyung who was taken aback by his sudden question.
"Umm... I ..." he stammered, at first his mind racing to find an explanation. But then, with a chuckle, he composed himself and offered a playful response.
"I wasn't... bro," he began, his laughter bubbling up with infectious warmth. "I was just thinking about the story. It will be exciting to perform."

"Yeah, true..." Emily agreed thoughtfully, her mind already drifting to the intricacies of her own role. "My role is of Y/n's sister. It's really great!! But it has some negative aspects."

"Ohh!" Jimin exclaimed, his curiosity piqued by Emily's revelation.

...After half an hour...

We were in our own talks when the teachers voice again interjected the soft mummers of the room.
"Today," she continued, "we will focus on Scene 1, part 1."

The teacher then, briefly described the characters. Their behaviour, their characteristics.

...

The dynamic between the characters was beginning to unfold before their eyes, each role a puzzle piece in the grand scenario of the play they would soon bring to life.

...

Following this, the scene1 was described, with the teacher narrating the setting, the mood, and the actions that would move the story forward. As the words flowed, the auditorium transformed into a stage, and the students became immersed in the world of the play.
....
....
....
....

"Let the emotions of the characters be brought to life." the teacher urged, her voice a gentle reminder of the power of acting.

After finishing with all the descriptions, with a sense of purpose, the characters mentioned in Scene 1, part 1 were called to the forefront, each actor stepping into their role with a mixture of nerves and excitement.

And the practise begin ...

As it began, we lost ourselves in the world of the play, our own emotions intertwining with those of the characters we portrayed, breathing life into the words on the page.

.....

Finally break time!!
A collective sigh of relief washed over us, mingling with the lingering excitement from our rehearsal.

"Practicing was really interesting, wasn't it?" Taehyung remarked, prompting nods of agreement all around as we reached for our water bottles, parched from the intensity of our performance.

Suddenly, Jimin's voice cut through the chatter.
"Wanna grab some milkshakes?", he proposed, a mischievous glint in his eye.

"Sure! Who can say no to Milkshakes!!!", we chimed in unison, enthusiasm bubbling over as we eagerly followed Jimin's lead towards our destination.

Arriving at the milkshake joint, entering we were greeted by the welcoming blast of air conditioning. 🌬️🥶

Taking a collective breath of relief, we settled into our seats, ready to indulge in some well-deserved treats.

Y/n, took charge of the menu, scanning the options.
"The glass containers are huge." she observed,
"I won't be able to finish that big glass.", Emily remarked..

Without missing a beat, Taehyung jumped in with a solution, his mind already cooking a plan. "Let's share." he suggested with a grin, the glimmer of mischief dancing in his eyes.

"Not a bad idea... Fair enough!", we all agreed.

After sometime...

"Mango milkshake." Jimin declared with a smile.

Taehyung, a playful twinkle in his eyes,
"I'll go with a Strawberry milkshake.", he declared, as he glanced towards Y/n, aware of her fondness for this flavour.

Y/n was going to say "Str...

When Emily said, "I was thinking of a Strawberry milkshake! "

Y/n's mind raced with a flicker of recognition, a memory fluttering at the edge of her consciousness, but she brushed it aside as she thought it was irrelevant.

"Okay then," she said, with a smile, and continued further, "As we are sharing, I'll go with Jimin's choice then."

*In Taehyung's mind*
Frustration bubbled to the surface as he processed the turn of events. Again. Huff!!!, he mentally complained, his disappointment palpable. Y/n was going to choose it. We were going to be sharing it. But again. Mentally slapping his forehead in disappointment, he resigned himself to fate. Sometimes I feel, I shall go and drown myself in water. Huh!!!"

Jimin placed the orders.

Within a couple of seconds our drinks
were served, accompanied with two more extra straws to enjoy the shared delight.

Jimin, being the gracious host, gestured for Y/n to try the mango milkshake first. "Y/n, you try it out first." he offered with a smile.

Taehyung, though outwardly cheerful, couldn't help but feel a twinge of upset at the thought of Y/N sharing milkshake with Jimin.
Taehyung mentally mimicking Jimin ... "Huh!!, y/n you try it out first" ... "So sweet of you, Jimin!" he mentally said, a hint of frustration tingling at the edges of his thoughts. Huff!!! This is not fair!!?

"S-sure, thank you." Y/n replied, her voice tinged with excitement as she took her first sip. "Yumm... it's good!" surprise evident in her tone.
"I was never fond of this flavor, but I guess, now I will surely."

Taehyung interjected cheerfully, eager to shift the focus,
"Wanna try the strawberry one?", he offered, extending the glass towards her with a playful grin.

At first, Y/n hesitated, but upon Taehyung's insistence, she agreed, taking a sip from the straw.
"Yummm... it's my favorite flavor!" she admitted with a smile.

"I know!" Taehyung whispered softly, a knowing smile tugging at his lips as their eyes met.

As the exchange of milkshakes continued, Y/n extended the glass "You guys, should try this flavor too." she suggested with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.

Taehyung readily agreed, as he carefully took a sip from the straw that Y/n had just used, his lips curling into a satisfied grin as he savored the familiar sweetness.

"Yummy...." he commented.

Emily followed suit, her eyes lighting up with delight as she tasted the creamy texture.

A few seconds later, Jimin and Y/n indulged in their own milkshakes, their enjoyment evident as they savored each sip with some talks.

As the laughter and chatter filled the air, unknown yet known...
On the other side of the table, Taehyung couldn't help but smile to himself. His eyes danced with a secret delight as he watched Y/n take a sip from the same straw they shared.

In that fleeting moment, as their lips touched the same spot, a subtle pleasure within him, igniting a warmth that spread through his veins like wildfire.

He found a comfort in the simple pleasure of sipping from the same straw that Y/n had used.

Though they couldn't share the milkshake directly, they shared the same straw, a silent acknowledgment of their blooming bond amidst the laughter and chatter of their friends.

In that moment, the clinking of glasses and the hum of conversation, Taehyung made a silent vow to cherish every moment spent in Y/n's presence, knowing that even the smallest gestures could hold the power to make his heart flutter this much.

"Couldn't share, but let this be done indirectly!!" 🙈
