The next day started similar as the previous one. Soyeon slept in and while groggily making her way to the kitchen, she caught Yoongi in his training room. This time, however, not swinging his blade through the air. This time he was simply sitting there calmly, cross-legged and with eyes closed. He was meditating.

She didn't know what to do yet again, say good morning to him or leave him be. Then again, he might've already heard her considering his sensitive ears. So not knowing what to do with herself, she froze in front of the door. About to step back and leave him alone when she heard him laugh under his breath. His eyes still closed.

"Are you stalking me again?"

She scoffed, crossing her arms. She dared to take a step closer. "I'm not. I just wasn't sure if I should disturb you."
"You're not." He eventually opened his eyes, greeting her with a small smile. "Come, join me."
She blinked startled before making her way to him. Sitting down in a similar position to his.
"Close your eyes and focus on your breathing."
Watching him going back to his previous state, she followed his instructions. Silence taking over once again and they sat there, focusing on their breathing. Until she got bored of it.

"And then?"

"Nothing, just clear your mind and take in your surroundings."

She felt an unintentional laugh creep up her lips. Clear her mind? Her mind would never shut up and not not think about random things.
"You wanna let me know what's so funny?"
"The part about clearing my mind actually, that's very funny," she muttered, "It's funny because it's impossible."
He simply hummed, not saying anything. She frowned, unsure of whether he understood what she meant or not. She adjusted her position then and closed her eyes yet again, trying following his words. Clear her mind and focus on the surroundings. But all she heard was.. silence. She tried focusing more. Wait, there was another sound beside her own breathing after all. It was very faint. Was it his breathing?
She also heard a buzzing coming from far away. Wondering what it could be. An insect outside?

Soyeon became frustrated after awhile.

"Yoongi? Can we maybe train again?"
"We're training right now."

She sighed, seeing she wasn't getting far with her requests. "Yeah, but it's not the type of training that helps me.."
"It actually does. It trains your senses to notice small shifts, like when someone is approaching you."
She didn't miss the lopsided smirk tucking on his lips, making her face flush when getting reminded of how close their bodies were the previous day. Even if it was just for a short moment. The mere memory of it making her breath unintentionally faster. She wondered if he was able to sense even that.
Inhaling sharply, she decided to calm herself again and screwed her eyes close. Going back to trying meditating.

Between zoning out, thinking about her stomach rumbling since she hadn't eaten breakfast yet and actually meditating, somehow time managed to pass enough for Yoongi to eventually stay up, indicating that they had meditated enough.

He held his hand out for her. "Coffee?"
"Yes, please!" she smiled and accepted his hand, pulling herself up. She hesitated letting go, lingering a little bit longer in the feeling of his firm grip. "But can we actually repeat yesterday's exercises later?"
He cocked a brow and she wondered if she'd overstepped when he bit back a chuckle. His eyes flickering to her neck then back to her brown irises, gleaming.
"So eager to be in a headlock again?"
Her mouth curved into a lopsided smile. "Only if it's by you."

She didn't know what she was doing, but she did it anyway. Because whatever this chemistry was between her and Yoongi, she wanted to know if he felt it as well, the way she did.
