chapter 23

" Let's go film tonight."Yoongi suggested out of nowhere while I was walking out of the classroom. It's lunchtime, and as I held two lunch boxes in my hands, I feel more baffled at how will I give it to him. It's Monday today, two days after the field trip with him. I didn't have a chance to text him throughout the weekend no matter how much I wanted because I had lost my phone.For those two days, I really wanted to talk to him. To go to see him.And since that we're going to have lunch at the school together, I feel like I'm on cloud nine because we are going to eat the lunchboxes prepared by me." But I have night school." I tell him soon when we were going to reach the cafeteria. " Oh!" He nodded to himself. " It's okay.""No." I quickly say. " I'm - I - I think I'm going to skip it tonight anyway."" Cool." He says as he sits for a second in one of the chairs. His gaze at the lunchbox that I set on the table, two containers stacked into one. " What is that?"" Lunchbox." I say , taking one of the lunchbox and putting it infront of him as I sat onto the chair. " I-I made one for you too.""Oh." He says taking off the lid of the container. He stares at it for a moment, taking the chopsticks from the back of the lid. But he didn't touch it. He didn't even poke it with his chopsticks.Could it be that he doesn't like what I made? I did put a bit of variety of meats and vegetables on this one as compared to the one I brought to the field trip. But what if he doesn't eat any of this??I should not have went overboard. I should just have made the same lunchbox that I had made before." Don't you like it?" I ask, my eyebrows furrowing. " I would have texted you and asked you what you wanted to eat but I lost my phone an-"He quickly takes a slice of meat and lettuce and shove it into his mouth. He chews as he stares at me. " No, this is good." He simply says. " And your phone, I found it in my pocket when I got home. It's in my bag. I would get it later for you."" Pocket?" I ask. " How can it be in your pocket?"" You are as confused as I am." He simply says, continuously eating heartedly. "Stop staring at me and eat. Aren't you hungry?"" Y-yeah." I smile as I start to dig into my food.Oh but Yoongi, I'm already full just by watching you eat.•••" So... What should we shoot today?"Yoongi asks as we stroll to the park. We shot a lot of scenes in here, maybe a bit too much that we probably won't use some of them in the actual film." I don't really know..." I admit. " I don't even know if we are following the story line anymore..."I take out the camera and start shooting the sunset in the lake. It was bright and warm. The colours of the descending sun- red ,orange and yellow mixing in such a harmonic shade that radiated the whole park. " I am the main character. Film me." Yoongi hold the camera and shifts it towards him, his face occupying the lens completely. I laughed and pulled back a bit, allowing it to focus on his face." Such a beautiful view." I giggle as I jokingly say." Ofcourse!" He shrugs with a smile.Our whole film session was nothing but randomness. If we thought of something cool, we would do it and film it by ourselves, if we found something cool, we would shoot it right away; even when it had nothing to do with the theme of the project." There's roughly three months before we hand in this project." I say as I scan through the nonsense clips. " And I haven't even edited a quarter of it."" It's okay!" He calmly says. " Three months is a long time."To my surprise, he suddenly takes something out of his pocket and throws it at me. But fortunately, I catch it before it fall down. It was my phone, well and alive." Thankyou for taking care of it." I say rubbing the screen of my phone with my thumb." I didn't. It just sat on my table for days." He admits. " I may have changed a few things in there though."" What?" I ask as I hurriedly open my phone. It looked the same except it was almost out of the battery. I opened every single folder and checked everything. Messages, audio clips, photos, songs. But nothing, it was still the same.Yoongi takes out his phone and starts typing with both of his thumbs, and not long after that, a message popped up onto my screen. Yoongi Genius:)Did you like the :) face??Sent @6:23Is that the change he was talking about? Adding a smiley face next to his name?And genius?Oh please!" You rascal!" I laugh. " I thought you did something worse."" So... You are saying that it's bad?" He looks at me, his mood turning sour." No, no." I say shaking my head. " I like it. It's like we are actually friends now."He smiles as he nods while looking back at the sunset," We are."" Yoongi..." I whisper, my body feeling like it's melting.Yoongi said that we are friends...we are not just classmates anymore... We are not just partners in a stupid project.... We are friends.We're friends..." Why are you so nice to me?"A question suddenly came out of his mouth. His eyes were still watching the sunset as he sat on the rock. I stand and look at him." I-I don't know.... I guess it's because I li-"
