Failed to barge back into her house, Soomin marched to the Min's house with boiling blood. She fixed her hoodie as a cold night wind brushed her bare face.

Ding-dong.

"Ah, Soomin! Thanks for coming. He is in his room. Come in!" Soomin's lips parted as she was once again dragged away against her own will. She frowned in disbelief as Mrs. Min was being so extra. She started to blab and gave Soomin no time to even greet her.

"Here we are." Mrs. Min gave her another awkward smile as they reached Yoongi's room.

"So... should I really babysit him... in his room?" Soomin raised one of her eyebrows while looking back and forth between Mrs. Min and Yoongi's door.

"Yes!" Soomin was startled by Mrs. Min's sudden answer.

"U-uh, I mean... His room is warmer for you to stay. There is also a TV so you won't be bored while waiting for him to wake up. I've prepared some snacks too... So... Yeah... You can help me watch him inside his room comfortably."

Something is fishy, she thought. Soomin hesitantly turned the doorknob and peeked into Yoongi's room.

"Uhm, Mrs. Min... I see no one in the-- Woaah!" Soomin stumbled into the room as her body received a sudden push from behind.

Click.

A low yet clear sound of a door locking made her eyes pop up as if they were trying to leave their sockets.

"You must be kidding me, Mrs. Min! What are you doing?! Open the door, please!" Soomin shouted in a whisper as she tried to open the locked door.

Yet, instead of unlocking the door, Soomin could hear Mrs. Min's footsteps moving away from the room. She banged on the door loudly until she heard another click sound from the other side of the room.

"Mom, why are you so loud?!" a pale boy with a bare chest, his waist carelessly wrapped in only a thin towel, and his face half-drenched because of droplets rolling down from his wet hair stepped out.

Soomin's gaze was locked on the rare view presented in front of her. She unconsciously scanned him from head to toe and ended at his wide-opened eyes.

"Aargh!"

She covered her eyes as Yoongi ran back to the bathroom located inside his bedroom.

"What are you doing here?!" he shouted as he tried to search for any available material in that room to cover his precious half-naked body. But there was nothing except the already used thin towel.

"Ask your mom!" she barked.

"My mom?" he furrowed his eyebrows as he stomped back to his room. He shoved the eyes-covered Soomin from the doorstep and tried to open it. As expected, he failed. They stood there for a while, thinking about what was really happening, and then there was a faint chat heard from the outside which made both of them run to the window. They saw Mrs. Min talking to the Kim couple on the pavement.

"Mom!" both Soomin and Yoongi shouted in unison, which resulted in nothing but an apology from the moms.

"Sorry, sweetie, we think this is the right time for both of you to talk after all these years! Please don't hate us! We love you!" Mrs. Kim shouted loud enough to be heard by the kids who were on the second story of the house. The parents then walked to the Kim's house with a cheerful laugh following their steps.

"Did they just... Unbelievable!" She ruffled her hair while turning on her heels to once again face his uncovered porcelain-like body.

"Can't you put something on?!"

A smirk appeared on Yoongi's face when he noticed a soft pink color tinted her cheeky cheek. Slowly, he shorted the gap between them and caged her with both of his hand.

"Never thought that I still have the ability to make you blush," he whispered.

In a split second, Yoongi found himself having a nosebleed from the impact of Soomin's strong jab. Soomin stared blankly at her own fist, surprised by her unexpected reflex.

"Oh God, I'm sorry!" Soomin rushed to the bathroom, leaving the dumbfounded Yoongi alone. She returned with a roll of toilet paper in her hand. Yoongi stood still, watching her clumsily tear the paper before dabbing it on his bleeding nose.

"Ouch!" Yoongi flinched as she accidentally rubbed the wounded part of his nose.

"Sorry, I'm sorry," she cringed as she carefully treated him. Like finding a lost treasure, Yoongi couldn't help but smile happily as he saw her caring side, which he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Hey, hey... I'm okay, don't worry," Yoongi grabbed Soomin's trembling hand as a genuine smile decorated his face. The smile was hard for her to ignore because it brought back an old, weird tingling feeling in her stomach.

Flashback

"I don't wanna go with this ugly dress!"  high pitch voice of  6 years old Soomin that came from the second story of the Kim's house was clearly heard by Taehyung and Yoongi who were playing playstation at the livingroom. Both of them had been already dressed in full set of suit , complete with a bow tie and shiny shoes.   

"This dress is perfectly fine Soomin, see.. you exactly look like those disney princesses,"  said Mrs. Kim who was trying her best to persuade her little stubborn girl . But she failed when Soomin tried to rip the dress from her small figure. 

"Are we going or not?" Taehyung came to Soomin's room as he heard the argument between his mom and his sister became louder. He crossed his hand and tapped his foot impatiently which caused Mrs. Kim's tempered raised even more.

"5 more minutes, Tae," She said as she tried to keep the pinkish cute dress attached on Soomin's body. 

"Can't we just let her use her fave stinky t-shirt &  washed out jeans? or just simply leave her alone till we back from the wedding party?" 

Taehyung was lucky enough when Yoongi came to the room right before Mrs. Kim pinched his ear lobe. " I'm sorry Mrs.Kim, but the others call for us to go by now,"  he said as Mr. Kim and his parents were waiting downstair.

"You heard that Soomin? everyone is waiting for you. Or as Tae said, do you want to be left alone?"

"N-no.." she said in between her sobs. Yoongi who previously wasn't aware of the crying Soomin, tilted his head to see her from head to toe clearly.

"Soomin.." he called her. Soomin lifted her chin to see him standing in front of her.  "You look beautiful in that dress." Soomin's sobs was stopped in no time as she heard Yoongi's words which was accompanied with a calming smile pictured on his face. Yoongi waved his hand to her as if he asked her to join him to go downstair. Soomin instantly wiped her teary eyes and running nose before walked out to follow Yoongi.

"That's what I called HELPING.. THANK YOUUUU," Mrs. Kim said loudly to Yoongi as she threw her deadly glare to her son that was freezed in his spot due to the shocking fact that Yoongi was able to tame her sister easily.

That was the time when Yoongi's smile started to bring a strange yet exciting feeling to her innocent heart.

End of flashback

Being mesmerized by the captivating smile for a minute, Soomin shifted her gaze to the other side of the room while adjusting her sitting position. She awkwardly cleared her throat before walking away to the bathroom once again, in an attempt to hide her blushing face and calm her rapidly beating heart. Yoongi silently followed her movements with his eyes and stopped when she closed the bathroom door.

"Look what you've done, Mom..." He ruffled his wet hair as he tried his best to hide his grin.
