8th March, College Corridor.

"Oi, you idiot, come here!" You call out to your best friend, Min Yoongi, signalling him as best you can to come help you carry the pile of books in your arms up to the classroom. He runs up to you, gummy smile plastered on his face, swinging his backpack onto his shoulders. He ruffles your hair and takes some of the books from you. Both of you set off towards the staircase, preparing to climb up to the third floor, up all those 72 individual steps. You sigh. This is going to take a while.

You have finally managed to leave school. You had told Yoongi to carry on home as you suddenly remembered that you had promised to meet this hot girl in the library for a study session. You are acknowledged throughout your grade in school as a scholar so your classmates often ask you for help. But the reason you agreed to stay back so long after school was because the one who requested your help was this super pretty girl who you had had a crush on forever. You smile as you remember how the study session had turned into an intense make out session and your heart flutters. Suddenly, white fingers snap in front of your face and you are startled into paying attention. It is Yoongi.

"Hey, what have you been doing? I thought I told you to go home an hour ago!"
"Yeah well, I did. Then I remembered that I had promised to buy a couple of snacks for my brother's field trip tomorrow, so I figured I'd pick you up on the way back."
"Dude, that's super nice of you."
"Yeah, no probs. How was the study session? Did you learn French?"

You narrow your eyes at him in suspicion. He smiles innocently before bursting into soft peals of laughter. You grin at him and feel a slight blush warm your cheeks. He slings an arm around your shoulder and the two of you walk towards his car.

"Argh I don't know what to get him!"
"Get what?"
"I don't know!"
"For whom?"
"Yoongi."
"Ah."

You roll your eyes at your sister, "How helpful of you."

"What? You are his best friend. You should know what he would like."

You slump back into the cushions of your sofa, scrolling through an online shopping site. You have been in the exact position for about an hour, and you still haven't found him the perfect gift. Suddenly, an advertisement catches your eye. A really pricy, yet high quality music system is on sale. You click on it and your eyes widen; it is practically one fourth its original price! You quickly look up the reviews and see five stars! After a victorious "HA!" that frightens the day lights out of your sister, your fingers work at a magical speed, and within seconds, the music system is yours.

9th April, Starbucks
You wait patiently outside the café you asked Yoongi to come to. He spent the morning with his family, and promised that you could treat him to lunch. The evening would be spent with his group of friends, six rowdy, adorable boys you have become very fond of. As you wait there, you think of the music system inside the café, wrapped neatly, under the supervision of your new girlfriend, who happens to be a barista at that particular Starbucks. You smile fondly when you remember how you met- you found her cute when she concentrated on maths problems she swore were difficult, and she found it hot, the way you solved sums with such ease. It was funny how the subject brought you together.

White fingers snap in front of your face and bring you to the present. You look up and grin at Yoongi's face. He ruffles your hair and chuckles, "Stuck in a Daydream about your new girlfriend in there? I hope this won't be me third wheeling while you're on a date." (AN: Daydream hehehehehe)

"It might just be like that if you aren't nice," You punch him on the shoulder lightly. The two of you walk into the café, arm-in-arm. Yoongi and your girlfriend wave to each other, and you sit down for lunch and coffee. You know exactly what Yoongi will want, so you have already placed the order, and paid.

After the happiest two hours of your life, you get up and tell him to follow you. You take him to an empty corner of the café, after asking him to cover his eyes.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now!"
"What will I find?"
"Open your eyes and find out!"
"No. Tell me."
"What is the point of a surprise then?"

He sticks out his tongue in your general direction.

"Fine. Don't open your eyes. Let's go home."
"Okay, okay, chill dude. I'm just kidding."

When he opens his eyes, the look on his face is priceless, "What was the point in blindfolding me if it is gift wrapped?"

You can't stop laughing.

"Go ahead and open it," your girlfriend urges your best friend.

When he does, his eyes widen in shock. He runs his hand along the sleek body of the music system, marvelling at its design, taking in all the highly modern technicalities that your untrained eye failed to comprehend. You are so invested in his pure expression that you almost don't hear him whisper, "Bu- but this must have cost you a fortune!"

You smile warmly, "It was on sale. Don't worry about it. Besides, I wouldn't spend a fortune on you."

Your girlfriend shakes her head at you, "Ah, I don't understand your concept of rude best-friend-banter."

Yoongi walks up to you and gives you the warmest hug ever.

"Thank you for everything. Thank you for the wonderful gift, and thank you for the best two hours of today."

You are surprised to see a hint of tears at the corners of his eyes, and at the fact that your vision blurs up a bit.
