~Yumi~


"This is my treat."

I accepted the glass of red wine. "Because I lost to you?"

"Because of you, I had fun," Yoongi said, grabbing his own one. "It's been a while since I played like that."

"Seyeon doesn't play?"

Yoongi snorted, "That small thing?" A smile curled his lips as he brought the glass to his lips, "No, she sucks."

Despite the harshness of his words, I could see the warm look on his face when Seyeon's name was mentioned. He really does love his girlfriend, doesn't he?

Yoongi and I made our way towards the booth where the rest of the members and Seokjin was sitting.

"Did you order too, Yumi?" Namjoon asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, I did."

"Wow, it's the first time we're actually eating together," Taehyung said, flashing a grin. "You never eat with us, noona. Why is that?"

I heard the teasing in his tone but I also sense something else too. Hurt, maybe?

"Ah, wait noona. I'll move so you can sit here," Jungkook said before getting out of his seat and leaving me to sit with... Seokjin.

I just stared at him.

With the straw still in his mouth, Seokjin stopped slurping and glanced at me. "I know I'm handsome as hell and you can't take your eyes off me, Shortcake but you need to sit down and let other people see this beauty too."

My eyes rolled and I reluctantly sat down beside him.

When our food came, all I did was just eat quietly and pay no attention to the members who were chatting with one another as they ate.

I can tell they were trying so hard to involve me in their conversation but I just forced a smile and kept quiet, not engaging with them. Not only was I a little uncomfortable around them, a part of me doesn't know how to engage with them too... even if I wanted to, I don't know how.

Born in the same year as Yoongi, I soon realised that I was older than the rest of the members aside from Yoongi and Seokjin. I wasn't close with any of them at all and I was shocked when they started calling me "noona". It sounds so endearing coming from them that I cannot help but feel a little warm whenever I hear it. Not only was I older than the members, out of Hoseok's wife, Taehyung's girlfriend and Yoongi's girlfriend, I was the oldest too. Having those girls call me 'unnie' somehow made me feel uncomfortable but at the same time, I feel a strong urge to look out for them... even though it wasn't my place.

I know that the girls rely on me but I've been distancing myself from them, not wanting to connect with them on an emotional level. It's the same with the members but I can't exactly avoid them since, well, I'm always with Seokjin so I have no choice but to be in their space. I do try to try and lessen the awkward tension but apparently, it's not working.

Seeing how happy they were, I finished my wine and stood up once more. Waving the glass in my hand, I muttered, "I'm going to get a refill."

Seokjin dropped his fork and knife, grabbing my wrist to stop me from leaving. "You're not going to keep drinking on an empty stomach, idiot. Did you forgot who was the one who cleaned up after you last night?"

"I did eat," I shot back. "I could use a drink now."

Seokjin shook his head. "Eat more first."

"My, are you actually worried about me?" I asked, sarcastically.

That's when he let go of me.

I rubbed my wrist where he grabbed and muttered, "I thought so. Be back soon."

And with that, I left the members there.





~Seokjin~


"What about you, hyung?" Taehyung asked, leaning towards where Seokjin was sitting.

Seokjin continued chewing his steak and asked through a mouthful, "Have I what?"

"Heard Yumi's happy voice," Hoseok explained.

Seokjin made a face and stopped chewing, "What?"

"We were talking about how Yumi always speak in a monotone," Jungkook explained to him. "She speaks in an indifference tone which made all of us uncomfortable but now we're sort of used to it."

"Yeah she was even laughing before too," Namjoon noted. "And she smiled too. It looks really good on her."

"So, have you?" Jimin asked, eagerly wanting to know too.

Yumi's happy voice, Seokjin thought to himself.

Yes. He heard Yumi's happy voice. Once.
