"What am I witnessing?" You muttered to yourself in disbelief. Yoongi hasn't noticed you yet. He was concentrating on the scene in front of him. Even more surprise filled you to see his opponent was struggling. You couldn't believe Yoongi has improved this much! Your eyes glanced at Jungkook and he was staring at Yoongi in awe. Okay, that's cute. You thought to yourself.
And now you wanted some answers.
You were casual as you walked to Jungkook's side. The younger male didn't even notice your presence at first. He was still watching Yoongi in awe. "Why aren't you playing?" Your voiced startled Jungkook. He almost spilled his drink.
Jungkook turned to you in shock. "Oh!" He was also going to say something else but he stopped himself. "What are you doing here?"
Why were you here? Oh, that's right. You just shrugged your shoulders. "Came to clear my thoughts." It wasn't exactly the truth but you were also not going to admit to his friend that you liked Yoongi! Oh. Did you admit that to yourself? Strangely, you felt that it was right.
Jungkook nodded but he didn't answer your question. So you repeated it. "I don't know. I got here and he was already playing." He crossed his arms and his lips settled into a pout.
Huh. Not even his partner in crime knew what was going on. You found it a bit strange. You redirected all your focus onto Yoongi. In the short span you were talking to Jungkook, the game continued on and now there laid the infamous eight ball along with one of each opposing ball. Good odds but a couple of wrong moves and it could all go wrong.
Your eyes traveled to Yoongi's face. He was concentrating hard. Even from here, you could see his eyebrows furrow and his lips settled into a faint frown. After the opponent's turn, the Pool Shark went for it. He lined up the cue ball perfectly and you smiled, knowing that was probably the route you would have also chosen.
You could almost cry. The student was really learning from the master.
The striped ball smoothly went into the pocket. Now all he had left was the eight ball! You bit the inside of your cheek in anticipation. If Yoongi could get the right angle then he was going to win. He continued to move around the pool table or tilt his head, analyzing how to get the eight ball in the pocket. Everyone grew a little restless. You could feel it in the air. And now the Pool Shark was feeling the atmosphere. He was anxiously trying to find the angle and that's when you knew you had to step in.
"Forget about them, Pool Shark. Focus on finding the right angle." You said, earning a few looks.
Yoongi froze, processing that he heard your voice and wasn't hallucinating. His mouth parted open in surprise. "Y/N?"
You sent him a smile. "I can see where you can hit it perfectly from here."
He switched his gaze from you and to the table. He did the action again and something clicked. You got excited, watching him get into position and he took the shot you were looking at! But your excitement deflated when the eight ball barely brushed against the corner of the pocket and laid there right before the pocket. Yoongi sent you a sheepish smile.
His opponent stared at the table. From here, you could see a way to block Yoongi but of course you wanted the Shark to win! Wow. You thought you would ever have this type of feeling. Your eyes now shifted to Yoongi. And they stayed on him. Not even when you would hear the whispers of other people.
Why was your stomach doing flips? You felt a bit uneasy. Was it because of the talk with Beatriz earlier? Did you like Yoongi more than a friend? You bit the inside of your cheek, dealing with these newfound emotions.
At last, Yoongi made the eight ball sink into the pocket. There were some cheers in the crowd and of course you clapped for him. As you did so, Jungkook besides you watched you and Yoongi. He had noticed Yoongi was trying his best to concentrate more on the game than he did this whole evening. And he didn't know how to proceed with operation YAYWBT.
Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Seokjin moving around to stare over here. At this point, he could feel Seokjin pushing him and telling him to do something. He scoffed, knowing GYAYG (Get You As Yoongi's Girlfriend - he barely learned about it) was a terrible plan. He should know since he slightly cringes every time he remembers how you two caught the spying duo. You and Yoongi Will Be Together will not fail!
As Yoongi was proudly showing off the money to Jungkook, you studied him a bit more. Alright, you may be looking like a stalker but it was unintentional! You were snapped out of your studying by a voice.
"Are you okay?" Yoongi's eyebrows furrowed in concern. You were slightly startled and it was not the concern written in his face. Oh no, it was by the way he leaned in a bit and when you didn't answer right away, he put the back of his hand against your forehead. "You're a little warm." He commented.
There went your heart skipping a beat. "I'm okay." You finally managed to speak. Then you realized Seokjin never sent your drink over so you took it as an escape route. "Seokjin didn't give me my drink." You suddenly said, surprising the Shark and made your escape. As you walked back to the bar, you realized something.
You had a crush on the Pool Shark.
You left Yoongi's hand in the air and the Shark let it down slowly. He watched as you left in sort of a hurry. "Do you think that was bold, Jungkook?" Yoongi suddenly asked the university student.
Jungkook was shook. He wasn't expecting Yoongi to do that! So he watched the whole interaction with wide eyes and failed to respond to Yoongi at first. He was not going to admit to Seokjin that he was almost going to fanboy over this moment. Never. "Not at all!" He encouraged Yoongi because this might be the push he needs!
He watched Yoongi blink at him. "You think so?" He questioned.
Jungkook waved it off. "Nope! Y/N didn't mind at all!" He sure hoped he was convincing him. He'll do it like the one time he had to convince his peers, his stance on why milk and cookies were the best combination of food and drink. Yeah, he barely passed the class with an average score but he still did it!
Luck must be on his side as Yoongi seemed to quietly agree. Alright, he didn't outright say it but he was taking it. There was just another problem that arose; what does he do now? He didn't think he would get this far.
