Chapter 2
I lounge on the couch and lean against his body as we watch a scary movie. Mittens is curled up on my lap. I feel myself jump as the people in the film scream, catching me by surprise. I hear Yoongi chuckling. I look at him, "Hey! What are you laughing at huh?" I ask smacking his chest lightly. He looks at me and wipes his smile away with his hand, acting as if he had food around his mouth.. Or the way a man would pet his mustache or beard.
"Nothing.. Just that this movie isn't really that scary.. They're all scared of a toy? I don't get American horror films." He says. I shrug and begin petting Mittens. "American films is all I have to remind me of my other half.. But I guess.. The movie is stupid. I just wish I was macho like you Min Yoongi." I say nudging him with my shoulder. I feel his gaze, I finally look at him and our eyes lock.
The light from the television makes his face look sweet, like he was blushing.. Or maybe he was. "You're much stronger than you know Elizabeth.." He says. I feel my face heat up real quick. "And if you don't feel strong.. You have me." He says, swinging a arm over my shoulder and pulls me close to him. Mittens jumps off my lap and lays on his favorite blanket in his corner of the living room, indicating he's going to sleep.
I curl my legs up to my stomach and lean my face against his chest, he's warm and cozy. "Thank you Min Yoongi... You're the best.." I whisper as I feel drowsiness take over me, the comfort he's giving me doesn't help either. Its making it hard for me to stay awake. He pulls me a little closer to him, "You're welcome Elizabeth.." He whispers, as I think he notices that I'm falling asleep.
I feel him move, I pull onto his shirt. "Nooo.. Don't.. Don't leave.." I whisper, my lids becoming heavy. "Never..." He says as he begins to run his hand up and down my back. "Good night.. Elizabeth.. I l-.." I fall asleep before I can hear what he was saying.

The light from my living room window wakens me as it forces my eyes to open. I'm on the couch.. In his arms. I look around making sure not to move my head too much, I'm still against his chest. I'm covered with his coat, and his arm snug around my body. Great. How am I going to get out of this? I ask myself as I see my situation.
He's fast asleep, his head thrown back with his bangs sticking up. I some how slip out of his grip. I wash up really quick and grab a pillow and a blanket. I know he won't wake up because he's a heavy sleeper. I place the pillow on the end of the couch. I try to push him so that he can lay down, but I'm such a weak person. Gosh I need to hit the gym. I sit on the couch and pull him, which is easier.
This was a good but horrible idea, good.. Because I got him to lay down. Horrible, because now he's laying on top of me. My head is on the pillow I brought for him, and his head is on my stomach. Its giving me a weird feeling in my gut, I can't explain it. I should try to move so that he can sleep comfortably. I think.
I move one inch, trying to get out from under him but he grunts and wraps his arms around my waist. Great!. Just great! How you gonna get out of this now? Huh? This is so awkward. God this is so awkward, I can say it a million times. As I lay there.. With Min Yoongi on my stomach sleeping soundly, I can't help but stare at him. He looks so cute, like a little puppy.
I end up falling asleep, there was no use of trying to get out of his tight grasp.

"Elizabeth?" I hear him call me, I right away wake up. I sit up and rub my eyes. "Huh?" I ask in a tired tone, adjusting my eyes on his body that's slouched. "What happened?" He ask with his eyes closed. "What do you mean?" I ask. He looks at me, his eyes puffy. "Why was I laying on you?" He asks. I pick up the blanket that layed on the floor and started to fold it.
"When I woke up you looked really uncomfortable, so I was going to lay you down but you fell on top of me and I couldn't get out from under you." I tell him. He chuckles,"Sorry." He says. I grab the pillow and blanket. "No, its okay." I say as I stand up from the couch. He stands up too and stretches his long legs. "I should go.." He says. I look at him.
"If you insist." I say. He smiles. "I'll be back around 5?" He asks. I nod. "Okay." I say. He grabs his coat. I set the blanket and pillow on the couch so I can walk him to the door.
I open the door for him as he takes a step out. He turns to me, "So I'll see you later." He smiles. I nod. "Okay. Don't be late." I tell him as I poke at his chest. He smiles bigger. "Me? Late?" He asks. I poke his stomach. "Yes you!" I laugh. "Okay. I gotta go kid." He says. I raise an eyebrow. "Kid?" I ask. He chuckles. "Yes. Now give me a hug, I gotta go." He says.
I give in and hug him. "Bye Suga." I say, my voice vibrating against the fabric of his shirt. I feel him peck my head, this was new.. I ignore it. I pull away and he ruffles my hair. "Bye." He says before leaving.

As I walk to the coffee shop, I can't stop thinking about Yoongi. I walk in and I'm greeted by my good friend Lee Wook. "Elizabeth! Hi! We didn't get to talk yesterday you were in such a rush." She says. I nod. "I know. I'm sorry." She smiles. "There's this really cute guy here that ordered for you." She wiggles her eyebrows.
"He's sitting over there. He told me to send you over if you showed up." She points to the back of the shop, I follow her finger and then look back at her. "He was worried you wouldn't show up and I told him that you would." She says. I bite my lip. "Go on!" She pushes me. "Fine fine. Just shhh." She nods.
I walk up to him. "If this is how I can get free coffee everyday count me in." I say catching his attention that was out side the window. He smiles widely. "If this is the way to get your attention count me in." I raise an eyebrow. "You're trying to get my attention? I haven't noticed." I say sarcastically. He nods towards the seat in front of him and I gladly take it.
"So. Sweet thing. Are you doing anything today?" He asks. I'm taken back. "Um.. Yeah. I'm going out." His eyebrows go up. "With your cat boyfriend?" I laugh. "No. With my guy friend." I say. His eyes narrow for a second then went back to normal. "So he's not your boyfriend right?"
Dang.. Pushy much? Or more like nosey..? Maybe jealous? "No, he's just a friend. I've known him since I was a teen. He was my first friend I made when I moved here from Cali." I tell him. "That's what they all say." He leans in, completely ignoring the other thing I had said. "No! Min Yoongi and I? dating? That would never happen. He's like a brother to me." He let's out a laugh.
"Sure. It always happens believe me." He smirks. I roll my eyes. "But I told you I-" ," Go out with me this weekend." He interrupts. I lean back in my seat and take a sip of my latte. "You're straight forward aren't you?" I chuckle. He bites his lip and nods. "When I see what I like. I'll do anything I can to get it." I'm guessing I'm the 'it'. I sip my beverage. "And if I don't go out with you?" I ask. He smirks then changes his face to become serious.
"I don't knoooow Elizabeth... I've heard I'm a great boyfriend." He shrugs. "Okay. Cocky much." I roll my eyes. He breaks out in a smile. "So what. You'll give me a chance before you'd give this Yoongi guy a chance right?" Now to think about it, when he said it like that.. It was making things confusing. What if Min Yoongi didn't like me.. Or what if he did? What do I say about that?
Were there signs that he likes me and I'm totally missing out on them? This is hard. "I'll think about it." I smirk. "Think about it? ... Fine." His eyes scanning my body. "So you going like that on your date with him? Or.." My eyebrows knit. "I told you. It's not a date." He let's out a laugh. "Okay. I'll pretend that I believe that." I frown. "You're kind of a jerk you know that?" He smiles widely. "I've been told." I let out a breath. What was I going to say.

I look at the clock, 5:30. Ugh. Of course he's late. He must be working late at the studio. He is coming out with a new mix tape so I don't blame him. I hear a knock at the door. I walk up and grab my purse. I open the door. He stands there with one flower in his hand. "I'm sorry..." I don't say anything. "I know. I know. I'm late. Like always." He looks exhausted.
I frown at the sight of him like this, it breaks my heart. I run up to him and hug him tight, "Don't apologize. I understand.." He was warm, and I can hear his heart pounding against my ear. His arms pull me closer than I already was. We stand there for a while, holding each other. And for some weird reason my heart started to pound. I couldn't calm it down, the only thing I could think of was releasing the hug.
I step back. "Are you ready to go?" He asks. I nod. He hands me the flower, it was a red rose. What does the red rose symbolize again? I forget. I quickly walk inside and set it in my flower vase. His flower easily sticks out from all my sun flowers, which he had gotten me for my birthday. "Your smile is like sun, it brightens up my day. You're the sun flower of my life." Was what the card said when he gave me the flowers.
I join him again outside and lock up my apartment. "So. Min Yoongi. What do you have planned for today?" I ask clinging to his arm. He looks down at me, that look on his face. I can't explain it. I couldn't even really recognize it.
We make our way to the large side walk that streamed in the middle of large Cherry blossom trees. I honestly loved it when he'd bring me here. We've come here since as long as I can remember. "So how's your mix tape going?" I ask under his arm. "Having trouble with this one part.. But I know I can do it." He smiles. I hug him tightly. "I know you can! I have faith."
"Oh my gosh you guys are such a cute couple." This girl says as she passes by. I quickly jump away from him. "No. We're not a couple. He's my best friend." She smiles widely. "That's still cute." And she walks away. There was this awkward tension that I hated. I look at him. "Why do people always say that?" I ask. He just shrugs and bites his lip. Like he wanted to say something.. But what was there that he could say?
