Chapter Thirteen_13
Summer is coming to Paris, the heat is starting to spread, there will be sudden rain this week .. Everyone on the street, remember to bring an umbrella."
The buzz of the radio continued to play, indeed Paris started to heat up after a rainy night, crickets also started to cry louder, echoing everywhere.
yoongi was still sketching each last drawing before launching his new collection, the pointed pencil tip "scratched" on a piece of white paper, gradually forming a different angle.
The clouds had moved faster, exposing the hot and humid rays that shone directly into the street, the current of people walking along the cool shade, the, beautiful dressed women and elegant men meet them in a coffee shop full of romance.
Florists are starting not as crowded as spring, each pink branch is gradually turning into a deep yellow color.
Jungkook sat quietly looking out the door, his eyes seemed to keep narrowing due to sleep, he yawned for a long time and stood up to slash the flower spines. Little drops of water fell on the petals of wild chrysanthemums, and Bella doused them while looking at them closely, not paying attention to her surroundings.
Time will pass very quickly when we accidentally ignore it, so that by late afternoon, cloudy clouds begin to attract to create a gray sky as if it has no life. The wind began to flow through the gap in the door, and then the sound of "pop" began to fall on the roof tile even more clearly, it was true that the rain suddenly came. Jungkook sat by the window looking at Bella and asked:
did you bring an umbrella today?
He shook his head.
- you forget.
louis came out of the barn, holding two small umbrellas, saying:
only two are left ...
Jungkook went to pick up the umbrella on the right, turning to Bella:
will you and I go to the same umbrella?
can I bring him back...? Louis tilted his head to look at her
Bella waved her hand, refusing:
- Let me go home by myself, there is also a place to sell umbrellas nearby.
He opened the door, looked up to see if the sky was better or not, but the rain was getting heavier, the wind was getting louder, and in the end, no shops were opening.
After a while, only Bella and Louis are left, Jungkook must return first because of work.
- Should I take you home? - Louis turned to ask
He shook his head.
the rain will stop soon, but I will return first.
He slowly went to the counter to make a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said:
I'll wait for you to come back, then I'll come back.
As soon as he finished his sentence, a man in a dark checkered shirt, holding a black umbrella covering his face, stopped in front of the shop, thinking it was a visitor, so Louis politely declined: ''Louis:
sir, my shop is closed now.
The man says something and pushes the door and enters, after the umbrella is folded, the face that surprises Bella, turns out to be Yoongi. He approached, holding a thin blazer in his hand, raised it to Bella, saying:
wear it, I'll take you home.
He asked:
how did you know I worked here? did jungkook tell you?
Yoon-gi shrugged her shoulders.
- Maybe so.
Bella picked up the shirt, quickly put it on, then turned to Louis and said: 'Louis:
- Back! I came back too, thanks for waiting.
Louis smiled, he did not reply, just waved his hand, his deep eyes continued to watch the two of them slowly leave.
Heavy rain drops falling on the umbrella "erupt" endlessly. Yoongi held the umbrella closer to Bella, causing her other shoulder to start getting wet, she quickly grabbed the umbrella and said:
your shoulders will get wet!
- It's okay if I get wet, if you get sick, no one will take care of you.Even though that simple statement with no special meaning gives her a strange feeling, it's a, for the first time he felt something creeping inside him, not knowing what his name was, maybe it was something he missed.the worst thing in life.
- Is it okay for you to work there? - Yoongi spoke up, interrupting Bella's mind
He seemed to wake up:
- Huh...?
really, where is your mind?
- Sorry, I just thought of something. - Bella looked up, asked - What did you just say?
He shook his head.
- There's nothing.
the two of them walked slowly, unhurriedly, past the rush of people stepping on the puddle, running as fast as they could in the direction they were thinking. It took a while for Bella to realize that Yoon-gi was taking her in a different direction, and she stuttered: 'Young:
hey.hey, this isn't the direction of my house.
he hurriedly pulled up his sleeve, and he smiled and did not say anything, continuing to walk in the opposite direction, he said, he thought he was wrong but just seeing his calm face was definitely not wrong, he did not say anything more, quietly following him.
quite far from his current home, Yoon-gi glanced at the Pont Neuf bridge not far away, the thick clouds slowly fading, separating to reveal a golden sky like honey.
The Pont Neuf has become an ancient, footbridge like a huge stone wall, meticulously carved without fault from 1578 under the reign of King Henry III, but the place is still busy.
they slowly walked up the bridge, watching the most powerful sunset reach out at the end of the day, the sunlight gently illuminating half of Yoongi's face, she stared blankly at each corner of it, and she stared at each corner, the white skin that many girls dream of. like that sunset, is so bright.
Bella asked him:
- Why did you come to pick me up today?
- I happened to ..- he replied
She laughed:
is your lying ability that bad?
Yoongi hesitated, his fingers constantly touching behind the auricle:
- ...
- Honestly!
- What...?
she turned to look directly at her face, her eyes talking about waiting for her question earlier, Yoonghi dodged again, she turned around, seeing that Bella did not ask anymore. He went to the fortress, put his chin in his hand and saw the glittering water, the gently rippling waves, stretching his neck to catch every passing wind: the:
- Beautiful!
yoongi also approached her, his hand gently placed on Bella's hair, making her unable to see, before she could ask, he lowered the small petals and placed them on her hand, saying:
will you come with me to see the sunset?
She smiles.
whenever I am free, I can!
yoongi raised his chin in front of him, he looked up again with a "yes" smile":
- Do you have to promise?
- Of course! - he tilted his neck, his face as mischievous as a teenager
He stretched out his hand, twirling his little finger to his pinky:
- I promise...
Bella smiled, in her eyes like a little star, flashing every time she passed by.
"Your smile at that time was like a decisive chess game, that...I like you a lot. I can't hold back that gentleness, getting drowned in the swamp you created..."
