Lost In Translation

The One With the Ramen

"네가 배고팠다 고 생각 했어. (I thought you were hungry.)" Yoongi asks after she leaves.

"Yeah... diet?... (네 ... 다이어트 ?...)" I shrug hoping he doesn't question it. I do not want to admit I don't have any money.

He already inconvenienced himself to bring me here, plus he just beat up a guy on my behalf. I've already been a mental and physical burden. I don't want to add a financial burden to the list.

But my stomach has other plans as it growls louder than it had earlier.

Dang, it.

Yoongi sighs as the lady come back with the drinks. She hands him a coffee and then gives me water.

I happily take a sip of it, but quickly recoil from the glass and wrinkle my nose. It has a bleach scent which startled me, but otherwise, it tastes normal.

As I experience my first glass of water from a new country, Yoongi types something into my phone and shows the waitress. She nods and writes onto her order sheet before rushing back to the kitchen.

"What was that about? (그게 뭐였지?)" I ask curiously as to what was said.

"방금 주문에 추가했습니다. (I just added on to my order.)" He shrugs.

"너는 많은 질문을한다. (You ask a lot of questions.) Yoongi observes again as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"Maybe, that's because you haven't asked me anything. (어쩌면, 너는 나에게 아무것도 묻지 않았기 때문일 것이다.)" I quip back at him.

"좋구나, 그래서 너는 댄서라고 들었어. (Alright, so I hear that you are a dancer?)" He says, attempting to start a conversation.

"Oh no! Not at all! Did the guys tell you that? I mean, I can dance but not on the level the band does. It was an accident that I beat Jungkook. You have to ask a better question! (오, 안돼! 전혀! 너희들이 그걸 말 했니? 내 말은, 나는 춤을 출 수 있지만 밴드와 같은 수준은 아니라는 것이다.내가 정크를 때리는 것은 사고였다. 더 좋은 질문을해야합니다!)" I laugh.

"どうぞお召し上がりください! (아무쪼록 드세요!) [Enjoy your meal!]" Our waitress interrupts as she places two bowls in front of us before disappearing back into the kitchen.

"I think she made a mistake... (나는 그녀가 실수했다고 생각한다...) I say, trying to get her attention while trying to avoid the temptation of the food in front of me.

"그냥 입 다물고 음식을 먹어. (Just shut up and eat.)" Yoongi sighs before taking a bite of his own dish.

My mouth drops open at his brash statement. Did he just order food for me and tell me to shut up?

He notices my shock and seizes the moment to shove a helping of noodles into my mouth.

"Mmmmff!" I mumble trying to clear my mouth so I can say something.

However, I quickly become distracted by how tasty the food is. I can't help but smile at him for his kind gesture.

If someone is going to attempt to shut me up, food is always the best way to go.

While we are eating, I feel a chill breeze blow onto me from above which causes me to shiver.

"당신은 차갑? (Are you cold?)" Yoongi asks as he notices.

"I wasn't until they turned the air conditioning on. I must be sitting right under a vent. (나는 그들이 에어컨을 켜기 전까지는 아니었다. 나는 통풍구 바로 아래에 앉아 있어야합니다.)" I say as I search the ceiling.
