chapter 17

As I opened my eyes, I realised that I had fallen asleep. I looked at everyone in the bus and most of them are either listening to the music, asleep or eating snacks. I looked at Yoongi beside me ,and he's awake, chewing his bottom lip gently.Then I heard a stomach rumble. That definitely wasn't mine and since Yoongi was the closest person to me, it was probably his." When was the last time you ate?" I asked him."Yesterday." He looks at me for a moment and then looks away." Yesterday?"" I had lunch yesterday."I looked at m wrist watch to see that it's already half past seven in the morning . This lad didn't skip a meal, he skipped two meals." Yoongi, Please stop doing this to yourself." I pleaded, furrowing my eyebrows together." Why do you care?" He asks . "Moreover, It's me starving,not you."" So you're starving?" I ask. " Ugh! What are you so hard headed?"I bend and reach for my lunch box which was placed on the bus floor. I give him the purple lunch box with both my hands." What's this?" He looks at it but doesn't take it. " Food." I take it back and untied the knot of the lunchbox. I take both of the lunch boxes I prepared out of the purple bag, and place it back on the floor. I take one of the lunch box and place it on his lap, together with a set of chopsticks." Please eat it."We both opened our lunch boxes at the same time. I am still quite full, but I wanted to eat with him so that he don't feel awkward. He's probably going to be shy eating lunch box on his own, so that's why I'm joining him.I heard him gulp as he saw all the food I prepared. He takes his chopsticks and eats the galbi right away, but slowly.  As soon as he swallowed it, he tastes the other side dishes. He pokes the cat head shaped rice and chuckles." Cute." He says, before digging his chopsticks in and taking out a piece.I eat mine as well, but just the Octopus shaped sausages. I looked at him as he eats.I already feel full watching him eat." Alright class!" The teacher suddenly calls from the front of the bus. " We are almost in Busan, so I should tell you the itineraries."Yoongi and I both looked at each other, our mouths filled with food. We looked at the teacher which now has a piece of paper in her hands." Okay! So first, we'll be going to one of the tourist spots in Busan, the Sea Life Aquarium!" She announces. " And then after that, we are going to the Busan Tower, a stop over at the Gukje Market, to a theatre hall, and finally the most popular museum in Busan."" Boring!" The students in the front proclaimed." We only joined because we thought we are going to the beach or amusement park."" This is stupid."The teacher remained quiet at the remarks and waited for them to all shut up with her stares. When everyone quiets down, she speaks again." This is supposed to be an educational field trip." She explains. " Fun things like that will be on the retreat before your graduation."The students all sighed in defeat, there's no point fighting with the teacher since the destinations are already planned. What I'm worried about most is that if Yoongi would like it or not. It's his first time going on a field trip, and maybe if the places we are going comes out to be boring, he would just think that he wasted his time coming here and he should have stayed back in Daegu with his friends.Yoongi continued eating when the teacher took her seat. I take one of the galbi and eat the whole thing." This is really good." He says, tapping the lunchbox with his chopsticks. "Did your parents make it for you?"" No, they were still at work when I left." I said after I swallowed my galbi. " I made it."" Jinja(really)??" He asks. " It's...it's good."" Thankyou. Which one did you like the most?"" Hm.." He says looking at his almost empty lunch box. " The galbi. Did you marinate it?"" Yup! It's made with love!!" I tease him, forming a heart with my hands." Ugh. You are wierd." He says before eating another piece of galbi.When he finished eating, his lunch box was almost empty. Not even a single grain of rice was left and it made me so much satisfied.That meant he liked my cooking, right?I take his empty lunch box and close the lid of my still almost full lunch box and put it back in the purple bag. I take out a bottled water bottle from my bag and give it to Yoongi." You must be thirsty." I say ,handing it to him. He takes it and twists the cap open, then tilts his head as he opens his mouth, while he pours the water. He drinks about half of it, then stops." You must be thirsty too!" He says, giving the bottle back to me.  " It didn't touch my lips, don't worry."I suddenly felt a rush in my body, my cheeks feeling warm. I take the bottle from him, unable to say anything , and drink it by touching my lips to the lid, tilting the bottle up like I always do. " Thankyou." I say, and he doesn't responds. Instead, he leans into the seat, closes his eyes and go back to relaxing.But even if his lips touched the bottle, I wouldn't have minded it at all!Wait. What am I actually thinking? When did I become like this?But, even then,  I won't mind it ...
