chapter 16

" What the-" I pause as I see him in front of me, bringing nothing but his phone in his hand." Can you finally hear me now?" He says with a pissed off expression, letting go of my earphones and it lands in my lap. " Move your things. The teacher won't let me sit beside her and it is the only spot left. "That's when I realised that my day maybe won't go bad as I imagined it to be." Yoongi." I say in awe, still not believing that he's standing right infront of me.The bus starts to move as he snickers rudely and rolls his eyes before taking my bag and lunch and then tossing it down onto the floor. He takes a seat beside me." You are creeping me out." He says as he looks at me and then he looks back. He puts his hands on one of his pockets, and then takes it out as he he sighs , "Fuck!"" What's wrong?" I ask.He looks at me and then shifts his eyes to my earphones that are on my lap. He looks at me again with a softer expression now." Can I borrow this?" His soft expression went away as soon as he grab a hold of my earphones and he plugs it into his phone jack." Hell no!" I held the wire of the earphone and tried to pull it out. " This is my only-"He grabs my wrist and stops me." Please. I get dizzy when I don't listen to music. It's your fault why I forgot about it anyway."" What the hell? I didn't even do anything! And how the hell you cannot bring your earphones? You have them attached to your soul all the time."I say as I frustratingly turn my head to him." I just got back from work and went straight here." He leaves my wrist. " I didn't go home to take stuff with me."" I can see that. Why didn't you atleast ask your parents to bring your stuff?"He went silent for a minute and looked outside the window. The sun is starting to rise but it's still quite dark outside. The bus moves on moderate pace, enough to blur the dark looking trees as we pass by." I didn't tell them." He finally admits. " They wouldn't let me so I just decided on my own."" Yoongi!" My eyes widened as soon as he said that. " Why would you do that?"" I thought about what you said." He says. " I should atleast experience what field trips are like."I smiled and looked outside the window. Even though I felt that I made a bad choice, by standing against Yoongi's father but Yoongi still paid attention to the things I said. He... Listened to me.He not only just listened, he acknowledged me." You look like an idiot smiling to yourself like that." He mutter with a slight smile, plugging the earphones into both of his ears ." Fine! I'll let you use my earphones this time, but..." I bit my lip. " I can't get through road trips without listening to the music." " I guess, you will be able to do that today." He shrugs and starts to play music. I sigh and start looking at the blur sceneries passing by. The driver's driving faster than usual. Suddenly, Yoongi groaned and rolled his eyes his eyes. He harshly puts one earphone in my ear. " What the-"" There!!! now shut up before I change my mind."He states while I smile like a child who gets a candy that he's been yearning for.His music taste is different from the one that I've been listening to my entire life. I always tend to listen to ballads, and those slow and relaxing music. A little bit of funkiness and energetic music is okay sometimes, especially when I'm doing laundry or working out a little, but most of the time, ballads are my way to go.On the contrary, his music is... hip-hop.I think this is what they call ' rap'. It's very popular in Korea nowadays, and I can see it gaining much more fame in mid 2010. It is loud, it is powerful and it is very solid." How long have you been listening to this type of music?" I ask, while listening to the beat. " It's.... Different!"" Sixth grade." He simply answers. " Pshh! I have a better taste in music than you!"" What did you listen to before that?"I say ignoring his teasing completely." I would tell you." He says and then look at me. " But then I would have to kill you. Cuz you would be holding my too much of secrets."" You freak me out sometimes." I say as I shakes his head and he looks away." Good."We both listened to the music until it ended. I wanted to learn my head against the window but I couldn't since it would drag the earphone out of Yoongi's ear.Another song started to play , and this time, it is the same type and genre, but much more compassionate. It started off with soft beats, then as it progresses, it gets mixed with more powerful beats but still very subtle. I waited for the lyrics but there was nothing. The build up comes, that even without any words spoken in it. There were no lyrics but the beats were enough to send chills down my spine.How can a music have so much meaning without actual words? It's like it wants to tell a story with just the combination of beats, melodies and tones." What... What song is this?" I ask as it ended. " It has no lyrics but it's so beautiful."" It's one of my favourites, I won't share it with you." He says as he poles his tongue out to me." Yoongi, seriously?" I say, rubbing both of my arms to call my goosebumps that I probably got after listening to the beats. " I just want to know the name of the song!"" I don't know, alright?" He says and then looks at me with a serious expression. " Did you like it?"" Yes, I did. It's so beautiful. It's like it's conveying a message without even a single actual word. It gave me goosebumps. See?" I say showing my arm to him.He smiled to himself but that smile faded soon when he saw me looking at him. " You are emotional, aren't you?"" Are you going to tell me the name of song now?" I ask again, almost impatient this time. I really want to listen to it again, even though it's basically just a tune." Nope." He says popping his mouth at 'p' sound. " I don't know either,okay?"" What do you mean?"He didn't answer. He closes his eyes and continued to listen to music like I wasn't here beside him, asking him a question. I gave up, and just stared outside  the window while listening to the rest of his playlist on the way to Busan.
