There is knocking at the door.

   My mind quits thinking about glasses
   as I quickly walk to the door.

   I scrunch my face when I open it
   due to the sudden rush of cold air
   hitting my face.

   After blinking,
   I stare at Yoongi
   as he chuckles.

   He's wearing blue.
   A blue turtleneck sweater.
   Sky blue,
   though it's hard to define due to the shadows.

   "Hi,"
   I finally say
   with a little grin
   that I didn't realize I had.

   "You look good, Tae,"
   He compliments,
   "Those glasses really suit you.
   You should wear them more."

Even though my dad just said the same thing
not even ten minutes ago,
I play with my fingers
and try to think more about my smile
than the thought of me blushing.

"Come in!"
I offer,
"I made sandwiches."

Yoongi smiles and walks inside
after I give him some space.

   "My dad is here
   if you don't mind,"
   I tell him
   as I lead him to the kitchen
   after he took off his shoes.

   "Not at all."

   I walk into the kitchen
   only to stop
   as I see my dad standing there.

   "Oh."
   I smile a bit
   to hide my sudden rush of awkwardness.
   "Hi, Dad."

   He furrows his eyebrows.
   "Is that the Yoongi kid you were telling me about earlier?"

   I nod
   and lower my head
   due to his strict tone.

   "Pleased to meet you,"
   Yoongi replies.

   My dad investigates him further.
   "You're rather pale,
   aren't you, young sir?"

   Yoongi let out a laugh.
   "Yeah.
   I get that a lot."

   "You do any housework?"

   "I make me and my little brother's lunches every day
   and wash the dishes after dinner."

   "I see."

   My dad places his hand on Yoongi's shoulder,
   making him hunch over for a moment.
   "Good to meet you, Yoongi.
   Let's see if you're as good as my son tells me."

   Yoongi looks at me with a smile,
   which makes me want to hide away even more.
   "I will certainly try."

   The next thing I know
   is Yoongi's hand wrapped around mine
   as we eat our sandwiches next to each other.

   The amount of
   sheer awkwardness I feel
   is enough to fill an entire fish tank
   with my internal tears.

   But it's nice
   to have someone to celebrate your birthday with.
   It's much better
   than eating my food alone.

_WORLD is one of SVT's best songs and you cannot convince me otherwise. It gives me a mixture of nostalgia, happiness, and pure bliss and it will never get old. It was written in the original fifteen commandments.

Also, CENTER JUN.

I made a collage of him because of course I did

I made a collage of him because of course I did. I have an addiction to making collages of everything. Plus, he's my ult bias, so how could I not?

It isn't that good, but I am seriously addicted to this whole album.

I'll probably delete this section once I realize how dumb I'm sounding lol.
