"jeongguk," raena knocked on her twin's door hoping to get a response from him. he's been shutting himself recently and it made her kind of worried, especially after his tired voice on the call last night . It's been years since she had to deal with her twin shutting her out and it was an experience that made her fear it, but something was wrong and she wasn't going to let him. she's a talkative person, and it was clear she didn't like being ignored.

when he finally got up to answer the door he rubbed his eyes and asked a lazy "what?"

raena ignored his attitude and asked,"are you okay? aren't you supposed to be at work?

jeongguk shrugged and mumbled an "i'm sick."

"jeon what is going on?" she asked, hands crossed as she gave her brother a weird look.

jeongguk rolled his eyes, "nothing. now go away." and with that he slammed the door to her face.

she frowned as she sadly looked at the door. she needed to find a way to ignite something in him again and be her brother, her twin again. if her brother shuts her out, all she would have left would be her only other friend, taehyung.

she ran her hand through her hair. this really wasn't how she wanted to spend her few minutes she had before she would get going for her morning babysitting.

stomping, she headed to the living room and grabbed her coat with her bus card inside to head to the kids she was babysitting. they were brother and sister around 4 and 7 names seohyun and jisoo. raena became friends with their older brother taehyung when she first became their baby sitter a 2 months ago. why'd their older brother wouldn't take care of them is also because his music career had been taking up too much of his time. plus, he always falls alseep when he watches cartoons with them.

afterwards she'd watch over jane's play date at a different house.

humming, she skipped out the house making sure to grab her purse from the couch. she exited the house with a skip in her step. raena was definitely more energized than last night and that was a good thing. it usually meant a good day awaits her.

suddenly she heard the sound of a bus as she reached the curb of her street. her eyes widened and she ran as if her life depended on it.

"no no no no no."

the wind blew her hair behind her, making it easier to see as she pushed past the street and all the walking civilians. the bus's door opened and a crowd of people began stepping in one by one.

in the midst of her sprinting, she spotted a certain dark haired-someone.

the guy from the bus!

"hey! you!" she yelled, sprinting even faster. yes I knew I would find somehow see him again! the guy paid no attention to her, figuring she meant someone else and stepped into the bus.

sprinting like her life depended on it, she was on time and scanned her card after quickly fishing it out of her coat. she was lucky she remembered to bring it today. sending a sheepish smile to the driver, raena bowed then let her eyes roam the bus until she caught him.

he was in the same position as he was before; eyes trained on his phone. this time he was bobbing his head to what raena assumed was music.

she beamed and quickly walked to the empty seat on the window.

he looked up this time and rolled his eyes immediately at her smiling face.

"how come you don't sit on the window seat?" raena asked curiously.

the stranger pretended not to hear by tapping his foot on the floor along with his music.

i could have sworn he heard me. raena frowned and took it upon herself to tap his shoulder slightly.

his eyes widened and he removed her fingers from his shoulders.

"what do you think you're doing?"

"well, you weren't listening to me so—

"what do you want? and why are you here?" he asked the girl with annoyance. "don't tell me you're following me?"

raena snorted.

"don't be silly. i don't even know you."

"exactly, so why are you trying to talk to me. headphones usually means 'i don't want to talk. i'm busy'".

"well i'm just trying to make conversation. it's just a coincidence that I see you again. isn't that cool?" she grinned. "i also told you i would buy you a shirt and here we are."

"hey, stranger?" he asked irritated, rubbing his temples.

"i told you my name is raena," she frowned.

"i don't care."

"about what?"

"about whatever you just said," he exclaimed eyes popping out of it's sockets. yoongi wasn't one to yell much or talk at all but his lack of sleep was making him a more irritable person. nor did he mean his voice to be as loud as it was. the look on her face of fear for a second reminded him to calm down and when he did, his voice was quiet. he questioned whether or not to say the next part and he went ahead and said it anyways. "and this isn't cool, i was hoping i didn't have to see you again."

wow, he's grumpy , raena thought. "you clearly care after putting such force into that sentence you just said," raena pointed out, playfully shaking her head. she tried to be funny to cheer him up. she failed miserably. change the subject!!

i am so tempted to jump out that freaking window, right now. or maybe push her out of it—no yoongi, stop you're just tired you're not going to literally throw yourself out the window.

"oh by the way, what's your name?" she asked looking outside the window. raena hummed a tune as she waited for an answer.

"why do you want to know?" he asked as he caught sight of the street they were passing. where's mellow street? why haven't we arrived yet? maybe i will jump out the window. he thought, getting impatient.

"i'm thinking we will see each other again one day and when that day comes i'd like to call you by your name," raena said simply.

"i don't think we will."

"hmm, maybe you're right. so i should take this opportunity to talk as much as i want now before i never see you again, right?"

yoongi's ears perked at the word "talk". he narrowed his eyes at her. "are you saying that just so i can tell you my name?"

raena grinned.

his lips almost quirked into a smile after seeing how quickly hers morphed into a grin, but he turned away from her and simply said, "i'm not telling you my name."

"whatever," raena shrugged. "i have other ways of accessing important information i'm sure one of my guys can get a name out of you. i just have to call them." she pretended to search through her phone for one of her thug's number. "they work so hard, i'm sure you'll be such a treat for them. hmm, not big boy bones, he crushes people too hard. not him either he kills people." she was very aware of yoongi's shifting in his seat and enjoyed it.

"you're obviously lying," yoongi scoffed.

she shrugged and pretending to call one of her guys 'david death', "hey david, baby, i've got a guy here who won't tell me his name—crazy, i know. i'm amazing, yes and pretty and such a great friend. i'll pay you double this time. i'll send you a picture of him when he's not looking and let you know what bus he takes. try not to kill him will you? he's got a pretty face."

"aish," yoongi groaned as he felt a heat creep up his face. he wondered how far she was going to go with this just to get a name out of him. did she knew he knew she was just joking? is she joking? well, two can play at this game. he paused his music, the same song he always played, and pretending to scroll through his phone as well, making sure she couldn't peek when she tried. i can't believe i'm about to do this, he thought as he brought the mic of his headphones to his lips. "hey, t-bone."

raena's ears perked up, and she whipped her head towards him.

"some girl, tells me her name is raena," raena's heart did back flips at the sound of her name, "is threatening me. i'm sure you know what to do. make it quiet. and clean. no lose ends. make sure the evidence doesn't come back to me."

raena gasped dramatically. "i told you you should burn your shirt. it has evidence! welp, you're going to jail."

yoongi willed himself not to chuckle and pressed play on his music again. "you're still not buying me a shirt. i don't take handouts and i'm not seeing you again." this time he put a little extra force in words, letting her know just because he played along for a moment, it hadn't meant anything.

after that it had been quiet. raena played with the rings on her fingers as he figured out how to spark conversation with  him again. she liked how he played along with her and really wanted to speak to him again. he clearly didn't want to speak to her again or see her, and she honestly didn't know how one wouldn't want to be friends with her. but the coincidence of finding a stranger again you've had a weird encounter with, it's...rare and exciting and her rather boring life was ignited by this new character in her book. if only his grumpy self can just see she just wanted to cheer him up and be friends.

but...maybe she was being just as rude, assuming he needed cheering up.
