"Good morning!" Jimin said excitedly, waving. I smiled and waved back, watching Eri and Namjoon argue behind him.

'Yoongi?' I signed. Luckily, Namjoon managed to read my sign and motioned to the chairs, where I saw an ever so familiar dark-haired guy, on his phone and wearing his earphones. I felt overwhelmed when Jimin gave me a hug.

"Watch out," Eri warned, rolling her eyes, her tone as if to mock someone. "Rumours might spread."

"Namjoon-hyung can just talk back at them." Jimin smirked. My brows furrowed, but laughed softly. Jimin was pretty reckless today.

"That's not how it works, Jimin." Namjoon grinned as we started to make our way to the chairs. "And though we've already said it, I'll say it again for warning: The oath taking's boring for everyone else. Not me."

"Because you're weird," Eri scoffed. "It's so boring. You're the only one that pays attention."

Since I couldn't speak, I tend to be very attentive when it came to listening. I mean.. if it weren't lessons, then yeah. I was a good listener.

"Aish, Yoongi acting all cool and not bothering to acknowledge any of us," Hoseok clicked his tongue, his voice slightly raised. Yoongi's usually calm expression shifted into a confused look as he turned his head, taking out his earphones.

"Hello." he said lowly. I waved.

"What's with you being ten times more snobbish today?" Eri narrowed her eyes. "Mind telling us what's in your mind, Mr. Pale?"

"I've been thinking about attending a recital." he sighed, tapping his fingers on his thigh, as if listening to a song in his mind.

My eyes lit up, and I quickly pulled out my phone. 'THEN DO!'

"Yeah, go for it, man." Namjoon patted his back.

"I don't know why I'm hesitating. I feel like I shouldn't." he said, but it sounded like he was questioning himself. His words got me even more confused.

"You're usually pretty focused, hyung, is something wrong?" Jimin asked softly. Yoongi was quiet, but shook his head after a while.

"Probably just me overthinking." he pursed his lips and looked up. "Yeah. I'll attend the recital."

"When is it?" Hoseok asked.

"Exactly 3 months from now." he said. "May 5."

'You should start practicing!' I added a lot of emoticons in the end of my sentence. He nodded at my text, "I'm going to play a piece of my own. For sure it isn't overrated."

"Was that an insult to yourself?" Eri frowned. "Cause it offended me too. Lighten up, Yoongi. Sheesh."

I was so excited, I took off my bag and pulled the box out. Without any hesitations, I gently pushed it to Yoongi's chest.

The others were quiet as I did. Yoongi didn't get it right away. In fact, he seemed unsure about taking, but ended up doing it. He seemed so unsure, it kinda made me upset. But when he pulled out the bracelet, I couldn't help but smile.

"You're giving this to me?"

I nodded. 'It's cute!'

"Thank you." he said slowly, as if being really careful with his words out of a sudden. I expected him to say more, but he didn't. Soon, the event started, and the juniors were called up to occupy the seats in front.

As the mc went on about the topics of leadership, I couldn't help but get bored. I tried to listen. His words were meaningful and great, but the way he talked and the way his voice sounded.. it just made you want to go to sleep.
