Across The Boundary • Yoonmin

12; Please Stay

You met me in the backyard,
that night
-

"Welcome to happy cup! Where we put all of your happiness in one cup!"

The familiar motto had greeted him again when he stepped foot inside the shop. He made his way again to the counter, and Hoseok already knew what he wants.

"One Iced Americano for - oh hyung? You don't have your materials with you?"

Hoseok is right, he doesn't have his materials with him. Yoongi just chews his bottom lip and nods.

He doesn't feel like sketching or drawing today because he feels uninspired. Not when he just burned an entire collection yesterday.

Hoseok smiles and puts in his orders, before saying that he can now sit on his usual spot.

Yoongi smiles back and turns his heels, when a body suddenly collided with his; making him stumble on the floor.

"Sorry - oh hyung!"

Yoongi has his eyes closed while he's groaning in pain. He felt hands on his shoulders and when he opens his eyes; a mop of orange hair is what he first sees.

"Yoongi-hyung I'm sorry! Are you hurt?" Jimin asked with an evident worry and concern in his voice as he inspected Yoongi's body and face.

Yoongi didn't say a word. Not because of the fact that he can't, but because of the fact that Jimin's face is just inches away from his.

The painter's heartbeat suddenly doubles as he sat there frozen.

Jimin's face is close, too close to the point that Yoongi can actually hear the younger's breathing.

The barista noticed his lack of movement and turns his head, only to stare at Yoongi's dark orbs.

There was a sudden spark of electricity and it feels like time has stopped between them with that simple eye contact; and Yoongi couldn't understand why but he feels the sudden chills on his spine.

Yoongi didn't blink, didn't move, didn't speak; not when it means breaking the moment that he found himself wishing it wouldn't end.

Jimin on the other hand, feels lost. He doesn't understand why but something about Yoongi is slowly dragging and dragging him towards the painter; and as he holds Yoongi's shoulders tight, he can hear his own heartbeat -

Which was beating like a loud drum.

No one dares to speak or move between them as they stared at each other for they didn't know how long.

"Yah Jimin-ah! Why aren't you careful??"

Hoseok's voice suddenly came through and broke their trance, and Jimin quickly pulls himself away from Yoongi.

Yoongi sat there still, the pain in his bum is now forgotten.

"H-Hoseok hyung," Jimin called and looks at the owner with an apologetic look, before helping Yoongi stand up.

"S-Sorry Hyung, are you o-okay?" The orange-haired male asked, obviously feeling flustered with what happened earlier.

Yoongi just nods his head and looks down, hoping that Jimin wouldn't see his face; which is now red.

"I'm glad you are! Are you here for your early - oh? No materials?" He heard Jimin ask, repeating Hoseok's question earlier.

Yoongi nods his head again before he quickly turn his heels and walks towards his favourite spot, leaving Jimin in a confused state.
