9. Bad to Good

The sky was vermilion with grey, patchy clouds covering a major portion of it. You were standing on the top of a huge building, your hair scattering wildly over you face. You saw someone standing far away or may be not so far. It was all misty and foggy and it make your vision unclear. There was just a blurry silhouette. It was man and was walking towards you. You can see his eyes, very familiar eyes. You have seen them quite some times. His eyes. Dark, doe deep eyes. You smiled. You are walking towards him. You still can't see his face. You are getting closer. The mist is clearing slowly. You are standing in front of him. But why does his eyes make you feel differently now. They are bit scary. You looked closely and now you can see his face. Its... its Yong-joon ! He is having an evil grin over his face which is slowly turning into a laughter. An eerie laughter. You don't feel good to be around him. He is no more the friend you have known him to be. He isn't the same. He is walking towards you. The look on his face says that he is up to no good. He is standing right in front of you , his hands are on your shoulder. And... and he pushed you down the building.

You sprang up on your bed, you are breathing heavily. You t-shirt is damped in sweat. You clapped both of your hands over your mouth and started moving your head looking from one side to the other of the dorm to reassure yourself that all that you saw wasn't real. What kind of a dreadful nightmare it was !

You gulped half a bottle of water, took some deep long breath and after holding your pillow tightly over your chest for several minutes, you started feeling calm. This whole Yoon-joon situation has took a toll on you. You have to figure out the reality behind all this or else you won't be able to get pass it.

Next day you had a conversation with Prof. Lee. Even though he has always been so dry and ignorant in his lectures he seemed to have understood the worries you faced because of him. He arranged for his guardian's contact number which were later found to be invalid. Even to it wasn't of much shock to the professor and he informed you that a lot of students have been doing this to avoid the college authorities reaching out to their parents when they caused some trouble at the college. Even though all of Prof. Lee's effort didn't drive out anything fruitful, you were glad that he was being so helpful to you. All it did was make you worry even more.

It was high time to tell all of it to Benny.

But surprisingly she was very calm and composed even after listening to the whole story. She wasn't screaming or crying or putting up any of her drama, she just took a deep breath and said,

" May be he has some issues Y/N. You shouldn't to cursing him or even worry till your death. People have secrets. Everyone does. And just remember that you are in a new country, all by yourself, trusting isn't a thing you should be doing that often."

Damn Mommy Benny was scary ! She was right in every possible ways. You need to stop worrying and think about yourself.

You reached the store 10 minutes early so that you can have a little chat with the lady, the owner of the store.

" Hey.. I don't recollect asking your name. Mind telling me again ?" you asked her while she was putting her bag on her should to leave.

" Oh... Its Yuri... and you pronounce your name as Y/N right ?" she asked with a delightful smile on her face.

You nodded almost in appreciation as not many people would pronounce your name properly in the first go.

When Yuri left, you had the empty store all to yourself. You put up one of your favorite rap on speakers and turned the volume to the maximum.

*UGH*

There was still some time left for the streets to get busy and customers to start arriving, you can enjoy Yoongi's intoxicating voice till then and be in the state of bliss. You turned your back to the counter, put your hand of either side and started nodding and even a bit dancing on the beats of the song.

" You like my songs ?" a deep voice coming from your back caught you in shock. You turned around hastily to see him standing in front of you. His beautiful black eyes gazing at you. It took your brain some seconds to start functioning again. You weren't even sure for how long he has been standing there. You coughed a bit and then asked,

" Uhh..? Your songs ?

" Oh... I mean these songs... these songs are my favorites " he stumbled at first but then said in a clear deep voice.

" Is it ? I love their songs ! That's the last thing I want to hear before I die." my excitement clearly made him laugh a little.

Then you both kept looking at each other for a moment, the song keep on playing n the background. It was getting a bit awkward when to your relief he dumped a big bag full of tangerines in front of you to get the billed.

" Do you own a tangerine juice shop or something ?" you questioned playfully, actually surprised at the ridiculous amount of tangerines he bought in less than a week. You both busted into laughter. He shook his head and said,

" No. I just have a big family " . His smiled ear to ear which was quite visible even though his face was covered with a mask as always.

While leaving he turned back and waved a good bye. You waved back but wished that you have had more things to talk about.

Soon enough you realized that you haven't been think about Yong-joon or worrying even a bit since he walked inside the store. Your bad days eventually turn into a good one because of those little moments you had with him. The job wasn't really your distraction, he was.
