"Why the fuck are you walking around like that?" Yoongi asks her as she passed him.

"It's no big deal, no one can see me." She answers without looking at him.

"I can see you." He tells her.

"And it's something you have seen before so what's the problem?" She walks inside the room to dress up.

He scoffs before following her inside. "Why are you acting like a brat again?"

"I am not acting like a brat." She answers before turning to him. "Are you going to stay here and watch me get dressed?"

The muscles in his jaw moves as he tries to control his anger. "Yes."

"Suit yourself." She replies as she drops the towel to the floor. She turns her back to him as she pulled her panties up before getting the bottle of lotion which she uses over her legs and thighs then up her body and arms. She deliberately lathers it over herself slowly holding back her smile when she hears him take a deep breath followed by a string of curses as he left the room.

"Yah, too loud guys." Jimin muttered from his bed.

Thuds of footsteps came and it got louder as it headed closer to their direction. "Where's Aliya?" It was Taehyung.

"Hold it, she's getting dressed in there." Yoongi told him but the other man didn't listen as he steps into the room where Aliya was. She only had a shirt on and was in the process of putting on her shorts when she got grabbed from behind.

"Tae, stop it, I'm trying to get dressed for heavens sake." Aliya yelps as she slaps his hands that's holding her tummy. She could still smell the alcohol from his breath.

"I'm so sorry I didn't wake up. I know I made a promise to you, I was so drunk last night." He mumbles over and over while his chin rests on top of her head.

Aliya is not very comfortable being in this state of undress while getting held by her best friend who is married and she is trying to get over. She's changed her clothes with him in the same room before but not touching like this. Seeing her best friend's guilty expression made her answer. "It's ok Tae, I was already expecting things to be a bit different from us. Besides, I did get to watch the sunrise today."

"But you watched it alone. I know that's the last thing you want to do." He tells her still not moving away from her.

"Actually, I wasn't alone." She replies.

"Oh yeah? Who among the guys went with you?" Taehyung asks.

"Me." They both turned to Yoongi who was standing at the door. His hands folded before him while his shoulders leaned casually at the doorframe.

"Oh." Taehyung says before looking down at Aliya who refused to meet his gaze. He then turns to the other man. "Thank you for doing that." He looks back at his best friend, tilting her chin up so she'd look into his eyes. "You're not mad at me are you?"

"I said it's fine Tae. We're good." She tells him with a smile as she lifts a hand over the side of his face. She then clears her throat. "So, can I please get dressed now?"

Yoongi made an annoyed sound distracting them and when they turned, they saw Jimin peeking inside from the doorway. "Everything ok in here? You guys are so noisy, just saying." He looks at Taehyung holding Aliya then his eyes drop to her bare legs. "What's going on here?"

"Well, I am trying to get dressed here but I keep on getting interrupted and I am so totally embarrassed right now. Might as well call the rest of the guys so you all can get to see me looking like this." Aliya tells them as she pulls away from Taehyung.

Jungkook walked behind Jimin and tries to peek inside but Yoongi pushes him back. "Show is over, nothing to see here any more." He tells him.

Jimin mumbles his complaint about them being inconsiderate to people who are still sleeping. He and Jungkook went back to bed and was asleep in no time.

"I am sorry again Iya." Taehyung tells her before leaving the room.

Aliya hurriedly slips into her shorts then grabs a hairbrush from her bag. She tried to replay the scene that just happened. Her bestfriend hugging her so tight that she could feel his body against her. Her heart did a double over inside her chest but she tries not to think too much about it. This will not help her move on from him.

But she did have to admit that she acted like a brat earlier with Yoongi. It got triggered over the fact that he had taken someone else in the very same spot they went to earlier. She thought it's a meaningful place until she hears from him that he's been there before. Like what she had thought earlier, he's been there with another woman. Someone more than just a casual fling. They most certainly didn't just go there to talk about the weather. Knowing Yoongi, he'd take a woman there for one purpose, sex.

She knows she can't behave like some clingy girlfriend. This is just supposed to be a friends with benefits kind of relationship but the thing is, she's never done this before so she is having a hard time in drawing the line. It used to be easy when things were just new. But they started to get close and he is no longer that aloof guy she used to know. She acted so stupidly and she is so embarrassed right now. She just has to do better.

**********************************************************************************************

Luckily for Aliya, the moment everyone started waking up, she didn't have to deal with Yoongi that much. Nari and Jia never stopped chiding her over the fact that Yoongi flew back from Japan and headed straight to the lake house. They were crediting her for the "extraordinary" act he needed to do for her. Aliya on the other hand refused to believe it because all she sees is that he wants sex from her and nothing else.

Sometime after dinner, they all gathered at the main living room to talk about buying the lake house. Jin also announced to everyone that he and Miya broke up. He finally answered what everyone had been wondering about the whole day, she left the house early in the morning after they had their talk the night before. She got picked up by one of their company drivers and he said she didn't look upset about the break up at all. Jin looked he is ok but you can see in his eyes that he isn't happy.

Yoongi also talked about the renovations. He listed everyone's idea about what they needed done and he'd make side comments if it's feasible or not. He also makes recommendations on what can be done otherwise. Aliya watched him as he expertly handled the discussion showing how proficient he is in his craft. She can see now why he gets picked on company projects. This is another side of him that she discovered.

They gathered around the fire pit in the backyard after. They decided to do the reminiscing challenge wherein each one had to tell what they remembered about meeting that person for the first time and their first impression. It was Nari's idea so she started it off by talking about Namjoon of course who is cuddling her. Hoots of laughter and teasing followed every funny or sweet detail Nari shared. Hobi came recalling how he first Namjoon followed by Yoo-Mi and so on.

Aliya knew Nari did this deliberately. She is sitting on a patio chair with Jungkook on one side and Jin on the other. Yoongi sat far from her. He is next to Namjoon making him the last one to answer.

When it was Aliya they were reminiscing about, they all laughed on what Taehyung everything Taehyung said since he knew her since birth. He had so many things to share and say which made her teary eyed because everything her bestfriend says she treasures.

Then it was Yoongi's turn. He looked up at Aliya and she felt as if his eyes were piercing right through hers, his expression unreadable. "Well, I don't remember much when I met Aliya for the first time. I know she came in with Taehyung one December. He said she's the bestfriend he's been talking about and she is studying in the States that time. First impression, maybe friendly. "

Aliya felt disappointed that he didn't say much. But what does she expect him to say anyway? Well, something more than just "friendly" to begin with. Then, it was her turn to talk about him. "I did meet Yoongi on my first Christmas break while studying in the States. It's one of those holiday gatherings that we have. Like I said, I met Namjoon and Hobi for the first that night too and we got along right away. With Yoongi, I didn't get to hear much from him. I thought he's either shy with women or not into them at all. Which I later on found out to be not true at all." Everyone laughed at her last sentence. Jia and Nari threw her a meaninful glace.

"You never told me you thought of me that way." Yoongi told Aliya.

"Now you know." She replied with a chuckle. "You barely spoke more than three words with me that night."

"It's because of your sweater that was too pink." He answered back.

"What does it have to do with that?" Aliya asked.

"It's too painful in the eye to get near you." Yoongi replied with a laugh.

When the girls were gathered together again that night while the boys drank, Nari wrapped her arm around Aliya's shoulder. "My honest opinion? He likes you."

"I agree." Jia smiled.

"I know I am new here but I think so too." Yoo-Mi said.

Aliya scoffed. "He doesn't remember much about meeting me for the first time and his first impression of me is friendly."

"But he does remember the color of the sweater you were wearing that night." Nari said.

"I was wearing a hot pink sweater of course it's hard to forget." Aliya replied drily. "I have to agree it's too painful in the eye. I thought it looked cool back then." She paused before asking something that had been in her thoughts the whole day. "Have you guys ever known if Yoongi's dated anyone at all?"

"Isn't he not the dating kind just like the rest of them?" Jia asks.

"Yes but at some point, most of them did date someone." Aliya replied.

"I think if he did, he is not the type to share it with anyone." Nari tells Aliya. "Why are you asking?"

"Just curious. He kind of mentioned something that implies it."

Jia giggles before asking. "Sounds like someone is jealous."

"Of course not!" Aliya replied way much louder than she wanted to drawing everyone's attention. She throws a look at the boys and her eyes got caught by Yoongi. She guiltily looked away.
