~°~°~°~°~Yoongi's POV°~°~°~°~°~

I watch in disbelief at the scene in front of me:

Melody is writhing on the sidewalk in a fit of giggles.

"Of all the phrases you choose to speak in complete English... you choose to say... that you thought... Hahahahaha-" She says rolling on her back, while completely missing her phone's microphone so I have a very vague idea of what she is saying.

Seeing my confusion, she sits up with a playful expression.

"What made you think that Namjoon and I were dating? (Namjoon과 내가 데이트하고 있다고 생각하게 한 이유는 무엇입니까?)" She says looking up at me as she sits at my feet.

Her once tearful eyes are now sparkling with amusement.

"글쎄, 당신은 그의 스웨터를 신고 있었고, 일반적으로 그것은 커플들이하는 일입니다. (Well, you were wearing his sweatshirt and typically that's what couples do.)" I say relieved that she is taking it so well.

"I see your point, but it's still hilarious. I have barely been here a whole twenty-four hours! You must have thought Namjoon was pretty smooth to get me that quickly. (나는 당신의 요점을 본다. 그러나 그것은 아직도 들썩 들썩하다. 당신은 Namjoon이 나에게 그것을 빨리 얻는 것을 꽤 매끄 럽다고 생각 했음에 틀림 없다.)" She chuckles.

"Is that really all that you wanted to confess to me? (그게 정말로 당신이 나에게 고백하고 싶은 모든 것입니까?)" She asks.

"예 ... 그게 전부입니다. (Yes... That's all.)" I say as I look down at my hands.

Besides the fact that you make me very confused...

"Oh! The way you were talking made it seem like something huge happened! (오! 네가 말하는 방식으로 거대한 사건이 일어난 것처럼 보였다!)" She laughs.

"Well, I appreciate you letting me know. No one has ever apologized to me about something like that before. I really do appreciate it. (글쎄, 알려 주셔서 감사합니다. 아무도 전에 그런 식으로 사과하지 않았습니다. 정말 고마워.)" She says placing her hand on mine.

"And, I know you didn't intend on making me laugh. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I know it must have been hard for you to tell me about your mistake. But at the same time, I still want to thank you for changing the topic. I really needed that. (그리고 네가 날 웃게 만들 의도가 없다는 걸 알아. 너의 감정을 상하게하면 미안해. 나는 당신이 당신의 실수에 대해 내게 말하는 것이 어려웠을 것임이 틀림 없음을 안다. 그러나 동시에 주제를 변경해 주셔서 감사드립니다. 나는 정말로 그것을 필요로했다.)" She continues as she gives my hand a small squeeze.

I gaze into her eyes as the neon lights flicker across her face.

It was as if the world stood still.

This girl...

I can't help but notice how she looks beautifully out of sorts. Her nose is still red from crying, several strands of hair have fallen out of her braid, her clothes are disheveled... Yet her eyes shine with laughter as if this is her favorite moment of the night.

Most girls would be embarrassed and self-conscious to be seen in such a state, yet she lets herself be vulnerable.

I don't know how her so-called 'friends' could willingly walk away from such a trusting soul.
