Translated from Korean

Late nights and early mornings were both Yoongi's things. He slept late and woke up early the next day due to his schedule. He had a meeting today regarding their trip to USA day after tomorrow. They had released their newest album, Map of the Soul: 7 last week which received a very positive response. Fans all over the world were going crazy over all the new songs.

He looked at his bed and found Seri deep asleep. She was curled up like a little kitten and the quilt was thrown on the other side of the bed. Yoongi covered her up with the quilt and smiled at her softly. Moving the quilt and shivering all through the night from cold was one of Seri's old habits. His mind went over to the couple in the convenience store whom they had encountered on their way to Daegu a few days ago. They had thought that Yoongi and Seri were dating, ever since that day many things were going on in Yoongi's mind.

Before he could get even more lost in his thoughts he heard voices of other members coming from the kitchen, he quickly went and got ready for his day. After taking a shower and freshening up he came back to his room only to find that Seri was already awake and was scrolling on her phone.

"Why did you wake up so soon? Go back to sleep, you are on vacation." The mattress dipped when Yoongi sat beside her on his bed.

"The guys are quite loud for 7 in the morning. I woke up and then could not go back to sleep again so I thought I might as well start my day." Seri sat up and stretched her arms above her head.

"I will try to come back early today and then we can go somewhere nice for dinner." He felt guilty because she had been back for a week now but they did not have dinner together alone even once since then. He looked at her curiously waiting for an answer.

It's not like this was the first time he had asked her for dinner, they have been out together countless times but he could not help but feel anxious for her answer today.

"Sure, I would love that. Just message me an hour before so that I can get ready. I have to edit a few videos for my YouTube channel and after that I am free."

He waved at her and left the room while she went to the washroom.

In the washroom she stood in front of the wide length mirror above the basin and looked at her reflection. Her cheeks were flushed. She looked way too excited to be going for dinner with someone who was just her best friend. She pursed her lips and took a deep breath. After brushing her teeth and taking a shower when she came to the room she heard her phone ringing.

Her screen read Cha Sanghoon.

She picked up the call after a few rings.

"Hello, Seri-ssi. How are you?" Sanghoon asked.

"Sanghoon-ssi, I am doing fine." She replied.

"The last time I called you a week ago you informed me that you are going to stay in Seoul for some time and even promised me a date. I thought maybe if you are free this weekend we could go and get dinner on Saturday."

Seri did not know how to respond. It was true that she had told him that she would go out with him on a date soon but that was before she started feeling something in her tummy after seeing her best friend. She took a hold of herself and decided to reply to him.

"Sure, I would love that. See you soon."

"Take care, Seri-ssi."

After disconnecting the call Seri sat on the chair near the window. She looked out at the clear blue sky and got lost in her thoughts. It was best for her to go on a date with Sanghoon because whatever she was feeling for Yoongi was wrong. He was her best friend and she could not have those types of feeling for him, no feeling in this world was more important than her friendship. She will go out with Sanghoon this weekend and who knows maybe she will have a great time with him and move over her little crush.

She went to the kitchen and made herself an omelette and a cup of coffee. After breakfast she set up her laptop and camera on a corner table in Yoongi's bedroom. She sat down and edited two of her travel vlogs one from New York and the other from Paris. She even edited a few pictures to upload on her instagram account. She did not have millions of followers but for a full time cinematographer and a part time YouTuber she had a good 200k followers. Her posts on Instagram were more frequent than her videos on YouTube. Many ARMYs who knew of her from old Bangtan Bombs followed her on both her accounts so she was extra careful of what she uploads because she did not want any rumours to start.

By the time she was done with work it was already afternoon. She put on a light blue t-shirt and black jeans, she looked around for her jacket but could not find it then she remembered that she forgot it in Yoongi's car. So, she grabbed a black hoodie of Yoongi's and put it on. She took out her wallet from her handbag and put it in the hoodie's pocket along with her mobile phone.

She left the dorm and took a bus to Itaewon-dong. She was craving for some Turkish kebabs and there was a very good restaurant in Itaewon to satisfy her cravings. She had been to Istanbul twice once for work and once for vacation, she had fallen in love with Turkish food and architecture during her time there.

She got down from the bus at her destination and searched for the restaurant that she had found on the internet. She looked around the streets were quite empty because it was afternoon on a weekday but the vibe of Itaewon was just as appealing and inviting as ever. There were many clubs, cafes and restaurants lined one after the other, each more beautiful than other. She looked at the phone again to see the location of the Turkish Restaurant but a news notification distracted her.

'Suga, a member of Kpop band, Bangtan Sonyeondan was rushed to a hospital fifteen minutes ago due to complain of intense pain in his left shoulder.'
