It's now the next day and you're sitting at your office desk at lunch time, stuffing microwave ramen into your mouth as you check your phone.
Apparently, Irene has convinced Eunwoo to try texting you once more for a follow-up on your next date.
This text merely causes you to roll your eyes for a second as you think about the courage that this man lacks. You type out a quick response telling him that you're free whenever but implying that he has to be a little more assertive about when to take you.
Sighing to yourself, you lock your phone and lean back in your chair, bowl in hand as you continue to eat the ramen. While you do so, you hear a giddy voice approaching from your side. You look up at the voice with noodles dangling from your mouth as you slurp them up slowly, eyebrows raised.
"Hi, Y/N!" Jieun says as you look up at her. You finish slurping up the noodles in your mouth and swallow before giving her a friendly smile.
Due to Yoongi's stupid arrogance last night, you ended up texting Jieun and telling her that you're willing to go with her to this studio recording session tonight along with the one on Friday.
You didn't want to risk the chances of being at home and being tempted to call him when he clearly said you wouldn't be able to. Granted, you could just watch some porn or read a smut book to get off but you'd rather just help a friend out rather than risk getting horny at home.
After all, there's much more to life than sex, and making sure that this weird SUGA guy doesn't do something to Jieun is much more important.
"Hi." You greet back.
"Thank you so much for agreeing to go with me to the recording session tonight." She says. You shake your head.
"It's no big deal, I'd prefer to be out tonight anyway doing anything other than being at home." You state. This causes her to slowly nod her head before she smiles widely.
It's then that you notice her hand is behind her back, causing your eyes to dart to the direction before looking back up at her. You arch an eyebrow as you now grow curious as to why her smile is so big.
"Still, I didn't want you to think that this favor is going unappreciated," she says while moving her hand out from behind her back. You look down at what she's holding and a smile finds its way on your face. "So, I got you this to thank you!" she says, gesturing towards the large, iced coffee cup containing your usual order.
The color of the coffee is the perfect shade and you read the label in her hand.
Iced coffee with oat milk, four pumps of hazelnut, sweet vanilla cold foam and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
Your absolute favorite.
"Thank you, Jieun!" you say excitedly as she hands you the cup. You immediately put your lips to the cup and take a sip of the heavenly drink, an immediate 'mmm' escaping your lips as you taste the flavors immediately. You then look up at her and nod your head. "Perfectly ordered. How'd you know my order?" you question while setting the cup onto your desk after you take another quick sip.
"I've seen the nearly empty cups sitting on your desk on the days where you've mentioned you haven't had any sleep. I figured it'd be a safe bet and would give you enough energy to get you through the recording session with me." she says with a grin. You nod your head and smile up at her.
"Well, thank you again. You didn't have to but it's very much appreciated." You say before glancing at the clock. "What time are we going?"
"I get off at four thirty." She states before shrugging her shoulders. "I told SUGA I'd be there at five if that works with the time you get off."
"That works for me, I get off the same time as you." You say before nodding your head. She smiles and gives a quick bow.
"Thank you again, Y/N, I know it was super last minute." She states.
"It's totally fine, I'd honestly just rather make sure you're okay. I know you said you could've asked Jonghoon but I didn't want to risk me saying no and him saying no as well. The guy's a little weird to be left alone around." You state. She laughs and shakes her head.
"You know, he actually told me why he was acting weird the other day when we were scheduling this session." She states. This causes you to raise an eyebrow.
"Oh? So, he's not like that all the time?" You joke, causing her to roll her eyes whilst smiling.
"No, he's actually a very sweet guy." She states.
"I will give him this. I saw him the other day at a restaurant when I was with my friend, Irene, and he did order me a glass of wine from his table. That was very nice of him." You state. She raises her eyebrows, causing you to narrow your eyes at her. "Doesn't mean he's still not a little creepy. Anyway, why was he being weird?"
"He mentioned that your name sounded very familiar to him." She states, causing you to tilt your head to the side.
"So, he's seen my name somewhere before?"
"Apparently. He said he has a friend with your name who he has yet to meet in person so he was questioning whether it was you." She states, causing you to let out a loud laugh.
"Pretty sure I've met all of my friends in person." You state, unaware of the obvious.
"Well, what about an online mutual?" She questions, causing you to glance up at the ceiling for a second as you think.
Could it be...?
No. There's no way. That guy isn't bold enough to be the person you're connecting the dots to. If it had been Yoongi and he knew it were you, you're certain he would've made fun of you or teased you in one way or another in front of Jieun or Jonghoon. After all, based on Yoongi's taunting via text and on the phone, you'd be shocked if it were him and he chose not to taunt you. He does love pushing your buttons.
"Nope, don't think so." You respond after a few seconds, causing Jieun to shrug her shoulders.
"Well, maybe he went to school with you or something like that." She says, causing you to slowly nod your head.
That could very well be the case.
"Yeah, maybe." You state before sighing softly.
"Okay, well, I'll let you get back to your coffee and lunch. I'll meet you in the breakroom around four thirty so we can start heading over to the studio."
"Sounds good to me, see you later. Thanks for the coffee!" you say as she starts walking away, causing her to smile back at you as she makes her way back to where she had come from.
You lean back in your seat and continue to think.
Could that be Yoongi?
Maybe you should pay a little more close attention to his voice this time around. That would be a way to tell.
-_-_-_-_
You're now tossing the empty coffee cup into the trashcan of the breakroom as you wait for Jieun to walk in.
Sighing to yourself, you then double check that you have everything in your purse and make sure you didn't leave anything at your desk.
"Ready to go?" you hear Jieun's voice behind you and you turn around, looking over at her.
"Yep!" you say before giving her a small grin. She then nods her head before you two clock out, leaving the office and making your way towards the parking garage. You then get into her car and look out the window as she starts the quick drive to the studio.
Once there, she parks in a parking spot and you see that SUGA is already standing outside of the building, waiting for her. He glances around before his eyes land on the now parked car, staring at it for a few seconds as you two start to get out. You see his eyebrow raise as he sees you getting out of the car for a second.
You two walk over to him.
"Hi Jieun, hi Y/N." he greets with a small grin. You smile softly and give him a wave as Jieun greets him with a wide smile.
"Thank you for offering the studio time to me today as well as Friday, SUGA." Jieun thanks him as the three of you walk into the building.
"No problem, I can already tell that this song is going to be a special one." He says while shrugging a shoulder before holding the door open for the two of you. She enters first and you follow behind.
You hear SUGA sharply inhale behind you and glance back.
He was staring at your ass and you caught him in the act.
"You okay?" you question while arching an eyebrow.
Once you look back at him, he holds his hand up, gesturing towards the door.
"Yeah, the door closed on my finger." He lies through his teeth. You narrow your eyes at the man for a second, trying to analyze his voice.
"Sure..." you say, letting him know that you're aware of his lie. He then shrugs a shoulder before you two then catch up to where Jieun is.
She's already pressed the elevator button and is looking back at the two of you.
Once you meet her at the elevator, you look at the lobby of the building once more, looking at the photos of the famous artists on the wall.
"So, Y/N," SUGA speaks up, causing your eyes to dart to his direction. "Did you like the wine?" he questions, causing you to softly grin.
"Yes, it was very kind of you, thank you." You state before turning your body to fully face him. "How did you know I liked red wine?" you question. This question causes him to shrug.
"You seem like a red wine woman." He says before the elevator door opens. He gestures for you and Jieun to go in first and you comply.
However, already knowing that SUGA got a quick peek at your backside, you stare at the reflection on the silver metal in the elevator to see his face. You see that his eyes are glued onto your ass as you step forward, causing you to mentally laugh. You then see that he's biting onto his lower lip as he stares at it.
Once in the elevator, you turn to face him and watch as his eyes, panicked, dart back up to your face as he gives you a smile. You merely give a knowing grin back as you look at him.
As you're in the elevator, patiently waiting for it to land on the correct floor, Jieun and SUGA start having some small talk with one another.
"So, Jieun, what gave you inspiration for this song?" he questions suddenly.
"Ah, it's hard to talk about but long story short, I lost some dear friends of mine to suicide and I wrote this song for them." She states, causing you to immediately put your hand on her shoulder to comfort her as you see her eyes welling up with tears, threatening to fall down the flawless skin of her cheeks. She glances over at you and gives you a small smile and you nod your head, giving a reassuring smile.
"Oh wow, I'm so sorry to hear that." He states before shaking his head. "I've had my own depression battles... it's always tough seeing someone else not being able to fight it anymore." He gulps. You look over at the man as Jieun nods her head.
"They loved when I would sing, so I figured I would honor them with the lyrics of this." She states.
The elevator door opens and the three of you make your way towards his studio.
You hold in an eye roll as you see the title of his studio again.
Genius Lab... who is so arrogant to name their studio this?
Wait... arrogance...
You widen your eyes for a second before looking over at SUGA. He's unlocking the door with his key as he then speaks.
"Well, that's very moving to hear, Jieun. They'd be proud of you." He states before he opens the door and gives her a small smile. "That's also probably why I feel so connected to this song."
You stare up at him as Jieun enters the room first. He merely stares at you for a few seconds before he blinks.
You then enter the room slowly as your brain starts growing anxious.
Is Yoongi... SUGA?
