Author's POV
...
Examining the handkerchief, feeling the soft fabric on his hand, it doesn't look dirty and crumpled. He's pretty sure that someone have just dropped it by accident. Basing on the design of it, the scent of the perfume lingering in and the word written at the edge of the cloth which he think it's the name of the owner, he could tell that it belongs to a girl.
"Jiminie oppa!"
"Taehyungie~!
"Oppa saranghae!"
The never ending call from Army almost filled the airport as more Armys are coming to their way, but in the middle of the fan calls, Mrs Kwon's motherful voice calling Gia's name caught Yoongi's attention.
"Gia, let's go!"
His head turns to where he thought the voice came from and there he see two ladies in a fancy clothes, standing at the exit and a girl running skillfully in her not-so-long high heels towards their direction. He could see the other lady next to the older one motioning the girl to hurry up and he didn't fail to catch the girl's name.
Gia. That girl is the owner. He thought as he looked at the girl running to the exit. He suddenly felt this curiosity inside him to see the girl's face but unfortunately, his eyes could only see her back view.
Feeling a light tap of a hand on his shoulder, he turns his head towards the owner and was immediately met by a doe eyes that was innocently looking at him.
Jungkook.
"Hyung, why did you stop?" the younger asks, eyes falling down to the thing his hyung was holding "what's that?" he asks again squinting his eyes a bit as the blinding flashes of cameras from the reporters' still on them and it seems like they won't stop until they're all fully out of storage.
"Someone dropped it." Yoongi tells him instead of describing it.
The younger only nodded at him "We need to keep going. The broadcast will be in an hour." Jungkook reminds him and he nods understandingly before keeping the handkerchief into his jeans' pocket, resuming his steps to catch up with the other members.
He took a last glance back to the girl but she's not there anymore.
"Hyung...Hyung, wake up." A deep voice woke him up from his slumber, snapping him out of his dream. Squinting his and blinking few times to adjust from the light above him that was soon blocked by the hand of the leader of their group. Namjoon. "Hyung, i'm sorry to wake you up but I think you should go home to rest there at your bed. You might get a backache in here." Namjoon carefully tells him after backing a few steps away as if the little cat in front would reach out and scratch him if he's within reach. And if Yoongi wasn't still feeling sleepy he would chuckle at how his leader's face looks like right now.
Pale and nervous.
It's not like he's always feeling pissed off whenever someone wakes him up. But he couldn't blame his young leader for being cautious like that towards him because he had nagged him for how many times for waking him up from his precious sleep. But as said, he's not always like that, it just happened that Namjoon was the one who wakes him up at those unlucky times.
Letting out a groan as he sat up and did a quick stretch of his neck, hands going up to rub his eyes, that's the time he realize that he slept on the couch of his Genius Lab with his reading eyeglasses still on his face. "What time is it?" he asks, his voice came out slightly hoarse as his throat felt dry.
"It's 9:15 PM." Namjoon replied, tucking his hands inside his pocket mentally sighing in relief and feeling thankful for not getting nagged by his hyung this time while Yoongi eyes him with a surprised look.
"what? 9--I said I'll just take a short nap." Yoongi mutters the last sentence to his self as he looked away but it's still audible for Namjoon.
"Yeah," Namjoon chuckled amusingly "You really overworked yourself today. You should get some rest at home, hyung."
"Yeah I should." Yoongi murmurs as he stood up from the couch, face scrunching as he felt his granpa-like bones. "God, my old bones." he groans at the few sounds of his bones cracking up, earning a snicker from the leader that caused him to throw a glare at the younger one. And it works because Namjoon's face turns into a blank one. As much as he loves his leader's dimples he can't just let him laugh at him for being cracky like this.
Searching for something that could change the topic, Namjoon's eyes landed on the handkerchief neatly folded at the top of Yoongi's desk near the keyboard of his computer and just like Yoongi, he could tell that it belongs to a girl basing on the look of it. His second guess is Jin but he knows that Jin might like girly colors but not as feminine style as this one. "I remember Jungkook have told me about the handkerchief you found yesterday at the airport. And i'm guessing that this is the handkerchief. Am I right?" he raised an eyebrow at Yoongi as he pointed at the object.
Yoongi looked back at him before his gaze goes to the object on his desk that Namjoon's referring to which reminds him about the scene yesterday and the dream he just had few minutes ago. "yeah." he shortly replied, getting his wallet, phones and face mask before he go.
"Gia. I guess this is her name." Namjoon says after reading the name before the corner of his lips twitched up into a smirk "Why keep it though? you could've just left it right there." Namjoon says acting like he doesn't care about simple things like this, but deep inside he does. He just wanted to know how Yoongi would react to it.
Knowing that Yoongi isn't the type of an obvious romantic guy, it's so very rare to see him keeping someone, a stranger's handkerchief with him. He wait for Yoongi's answer only to hear an "Just because." Yoongi tapped his shoulder with a unknown smirk on his face, running a hand on his hair in a cool way as usual before he left his Genius Lab, leaving Namjoon there looking dumbfounded.
"Just because?" Namjoon repeats what he just heard, eyebrows furrowing together in confusion for a few seconds before he chuckles amusingly. "Interesting." he mumbles, already knowing what will happen next and whatever that is, he couldn't wait for that time to come. "I guess I should tell Hoseok about this." He added before stepping out of his hyung's lab.

Gia POV
...
"I bet you didn't get a sleep last night even just one blink, honey. You have a very dark circles on your eyes." My eyes was the first thing my mother have quickly noticed right after I head downstairs to the kitchen with a heavy and a bit dizzy head. Not to mention the bird nest on my head.
I mean my hair.
Great.
Well, who wouldn't? An Army who just luckily saw her bias yesterday in person for the first time will also feel the same way like what i'm feeling right now. I couldn't get him out of my mind. I even tried to read some of the files of appa's company to distract myself last night, ate some midnight unhealthy snack but it didn't work. And guess what, I even tried to take sleeping pill but surprisingly and disappointingly...it didn't work too. That's how strong his spell effect on me.
"Yeah." I sighed walking straight to the fridge and open it, grabbing a bottle of fresh milk and a pack of cornflakes at the kitchen counter, not forgetting to bring a bowl and spoon with me. I sat on a stool, placing my bowl and breakfast on the kitchen table.
"Oh, that's sad." my mother commented while looking at me with a worried face as I poured a milk on my cornflakes. "You read those files your dad gave you?" she asks and I just nodded, lazily stuffing my mouth with my breakfast. She turn back and continue cooking the 4th chocolate pancake.
"Yeah, I did. I think I can tell every words written in those files." I replied, it's true. I was too determined to distract myself last night from thinking of him. "By the way, Where's Appa?" I asks, Appa should be here in the kitchen having breakfast at this time, I wonder why he isn't here.
"Your father went to work early for the special executive meeting, honey." she tells me, serving me one of her hot chocolate pancake and I thanked her as I gladly took a bite of it. Even if it's just a pancake, I could still say that no one can beat mother's cook. Every mother's cook in the world would never be defeated.
I'm glad that even though we have maids at the house, Eomma would still insist to cook for us whenever she's here.
"So, today's the special executive meeting?" I asks and she confirmed with a firm nod. Right, the day that I will meet those arrogant executive board members of my appa's company. Good thing that the struggle I faced last night was worth it or else I'll just going to embarrass myself and Appa in front of them. "What time are they expecting me to attend the meeting?"
"this evening, at exact 7 O'clock and I suggest that you should take your free time to have beauty rest. I'll be going to one of our Hotels in Busan with your halmoni." she tells me and I as usual would just nod understandingly. Being left all alone in a big house while my parents are both in their own company is normal for me.
"Sure don't worry, I'll be fine. Have a safe drive." I say giving her a smile even though my head aching shit. Guess I have to take a painkiller after this.
I hope I'll do better at the meeting later.

"Shit. That old tadpole is bullshit." I spat out as I stomped outside the Kwon's Company with a boiling blood running in my veins. You're wondering what happened inside there right? I'll tell you, nothing's wrong with my on the spot presentation, it amazingly did well and Appa was so proud of me. But what I didn't expect to happen was that when the meeting was finally adjourned, my father went to his office with his secretary to sign the other business projects' proposed to him.
He told me to roam around the company to familiarize each areas since I'll be working here with him soon and I gladly agreed with him. Everything was fine until one of the board members who I remember named Sang Il-Hun.
He was the only person I noticed who didn't warmly welcomed me at the meeting. Disagreement was clearly written all over his face during the meeting while he's just quietly sitting there in his seat. But me having the enough confident with my presentation, I ignored it and just think that maybe he's just not in a good mood.
But no, I was wrong. He's really against with me working in the company, he just didn't voice it out in the meeting. And what really boils my blood was that he told me that I don't deserve to be the next CEO in the future because my skills and knowledge is too far from being the next leader of them.
He really did insult me straightforwardly and I was about to backfire, on the verge to slap him on his crinkled face but my father suddenly came. I didn't want to make any scandal at my first executive meeting and taint the image of my father so I decided to just let it slip away.
"You'll see, Mr Sang." the only words I said and faked a smile to him so that my Appa wouldn't notice the tension between us before I bid goodbye to my father and walked to the exit.
"I need to let out this steams. Why not get a booze tonight." I grumble to myself as I stepped into my car and drove into the new club I found not that far from the company.
Dang, I didn't know it would look more beautiful inside. I thought as I walked inside after parking my car and showed my ID at the entrance. The loud music is so upbeat that I started to nod my head along with the beat of the music and smile in excitement, knowing that I'll be surely going to have some fun tonight. But I shouldn't drink too much.
"Hey." I greet the young bartender across the counter and he greeted me back with a bright friendly smile on his face.
"Hi there Miss, what drink?"
"I want an orange juice for starter." I say raising my voice a bit since the music is getting louder.
"Okay. One orange juice for a beautiful young lady, coming up!" he cheered and I couldn't help not chuckle at his cuteness as I observe how he enjoys his work. He look too young though for working in a place like this.
"Um, can I ask you something? if you don't mind." I asks and his attention goes back to me.
"Sure, go ahead."
"This might be personal, but you don't have to answer it if you're not comfortable."
"It's fine." he chuckles again, giving me an assuring nod.
"Basing on your face, I can tell that you're still underage for a place like this. How did you got hired to work here? I'm sorry, i'm just curious." I asks and he waved a hand telling me that it's fine.
"A friend of mine helped since I was having a problem with my tuition fees in school, he recommended me to his sister's husband who's the owner of this club to work as a part timer, and they gladly hired me and give me enough salary that I need." He tells with full of sparks in his eyes that clearly shows how he's thankful to them and I couldn't help not to stare in awe at him. He's such cute and kind kid.
"Wow, that's so kind of them. You're a lucky kid." I praised him and his cheeks turns into rosy ones as he shyly thanked me and handed me my juice. "Thank you."
"Welcome, enjoy your drink." he says before turning to the other customer who just came. A couple. I rolled my eyes away in disgust after witnessing them eating each other's like there's no tomorrow. Damn, could they just get a room?! I thought shaking my head in disbelief as I carefully drink my juice, afraid to get my clothes spilled by it.
(A/n: this is your dress by the way. Photo below. ;)❤️✨):
After finishing my juice, I order my first glass of beer which the young bartender gladly serves me. "Here's your drink. Enjoy!"
"Oh yeah I will." I snorted as he chuckled on my reply and I just noticed his name tag.
Sunoo. I mentally read. So that's his name. Hmm, it really suits him. The thought of it made me unconsciously smile before I drank my beer up. Scrunching my face as I let the alcohol slowly burn down my throat until it landed on my stomach. It didn't took me that long to finish my first glass of beer. "One more." I say, raising up the now empty glass towards Sunoo and he's already pouring me another one.
Having a sudden flashback of what happened there at the company, I groan, shaking my head in attempt to remove those flashshits away--wait, did I just mentioned flashshits? guess I am. Have I mentioned that I easily get drunk too? No? Now you know it. All it takes to get me drunk is to let me drink two glass of beer. It sucks, right?
Not even a second after drinking my second round, I started to hiccup and giggle like a kid. I also started to forget some of my worries, except what happened there. Damn I think I need more drink. "One *hiccup* more.." I slightly slurred raising my empty glass again and Sunoo's eyes widens amusingly.
"Are you sure?" he asks, seems really amused at how fast I drank those beer in just one go.
"Yeah." I shortly replied, still raising up the empty glass as I wait for him to pour me another round and he did but his smile drops as it turns out into a frown of concern.
Not wasting any second after he poured me my 3rd round, I drank it again in one go.
"*hiccup* thank you." I slurred again giggling crazy for no reason. My body then started to move along with the music that is getting more louder, filling my ears with its beat and I like it. "Oh yeah!" I cheered up, enjoying myself tonight.
"You're drunk!" I heard Sunoo yelled since the music is too loud and I only giggled like a kid at him and continue my little dance.
"Give me one more!" I raised the empty glass again for the 4th time and his jaw drops in surprise before his face turns into a full concerned one.
"But I think you're drunk enough. You will surely passed out if you'll have another round again." he tells me, he's actually right. I would surely pass out once I'll have another shot but the stubborn drunk me didn't listen and besides, I still remember that scene with old tadpole Mr Sang.
"I know, but I still want to have another shot. I promise this will be the last." I slurred pressing my palms together as I pout at him. "Please." I cutely plead and he shook his head before he gave me what I wanted and I flashed him my silly smile mouthing 'Kamsahamnida~' to him before bringing up the glass to my mouth, drinking it.
"Okay before you pass out here, you have to give me the number of someone you know who could surely pick you up here." Sunoo says handing me a pen a piece of sticky note but I was too drunk to think well, the only thing I have in my brain is to have fun tonight.
"Yup. Just *hiccup* lemme finish this.." I say, finishing my last beer and slam the glass down on the counter. Good thing it didn't break. I wonder where they bought this precious glass. I want to buy like this too since i'm a clumsy ass sometimes. And just as when he's about to hand me back the pen and speak I pressed a finger on his lips to hush him taking him aback. "Sshhs. Lemme dance first."
"I don't think you can stand well on the dancefloor in that condition." the words that immediately came out from his mouth right after I removed my finger and I just waved a hand in disagreement.
"No, no, no...watch me." I drunkenly smirk before pushing myself off the counter and his face twisted into panic but he immediately calms it and let out a sigh. Not letting him to speak again, I handed over my bag to him. "Keep this for me while i'm dancing, brother." and with that, I turn on my heels, going straight to the dancefloor where the drunk bodies are dancing, they all have partners with them but oh well..I don't care. I can have fun dancing alone.
