“I told you no,” Yoongi sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration, “If I wanted a girl I would get out of here and find one.”
Jimin and Taehyung were sitting across from him in the booth they were sitting in. The three of them were hanging out at Jimin’s parent’s restaurant, which had become fairly regular for them to do. Normally Jungkook and/or Hoseok would join them, but neither of them were available. Jungkook was on a date with his new fiance and Hoseok was busy at work.
Taehyung leaned his head back against the booth’s cushion as Jimin sighed, “Hyung, it’s been year since you’ve last tried dating someone. Just because that last girl was clingy… and slightly crazy, doesn’t mean that every girl is like that. That’s why you don’t pick up girls in the bar when you’re drunk.”
“I’m single by choice,” Yoongi shook his head, “And I don’t understand why you guys have so much of a problem with it.” He took a sip of his drink as Taehyung and Jimin looked to each other, both concerned for their friend.
“It’s just because it’s been… six years since then.” Jimin slightly mumbled, trying not to talk about it too much, “and it’s like ever since you’ve been more cold hearted towards girls than before. I thought you would be over it by now-”
Yoongi shot a glare in Jimin’s direction, “I’ve been over it for years. That’s why I don’t want to date, because I’m done with what love does to people. It feels awful and I hate it. You guys can get all the girlfriends you want, but I’m content with being alone.”
Taehyung started playing with the rim of his drink, “Hyung… you are 100% over her, correct?”
“Correct.” Yoongi said without missing a beat. He grabbed one of the fries from the basket in front of them and dipped it in ketchup.
Jimin grabbed a fry as well, “Okay, then you won’t really care when we tell you that she’s back in town?”
Yoongi’s whole being froze as Jimin’s words as he had to remind himself to breath. She was back? After being gone for 6 years, she just randomly comes back?
It sounded selfish of her to do that to him.
“She’s in town to stay, too.” Taehyung added, “But we’ll spare you the details. I just know she’s moving back in with Seokjin to help him run the shop like when you used to work there.”
Yoongi took a deep breath and then continued with eating his fry, “That’s good for her. I don’t know why I needed to know this. I don’t care whether she’s here or in Alaska feeding Polar Bears.”
“Wait-” Taehyung held up his hand, “Alaska has polar bears?”
“You need to know,” Jimin ignored Taehyung, “because I would rather you be prepared than to run into her on the street and be surprised that she’s there.”
Yoongi just shrugged, “I probably wouldn’t have even noticed if she was here. I hardly talk to Seokjin anymore, so it’s almost like him and his family are on another planet from me.”
Taehyung grabbed a fry, “You’ll be seeing her for sure. Seokjin’s new place is in our building you know.
“Sh*t,” Yoongi mumbled, “I forgot about that.”
Jimin started to feel a little worried as he watched his friend, “They’re not on the same floor as you and I, but they’ll be on the same floor as Taehyung and Jungkook… if that helps at all.”
Yoongi just shrugged, “I don’t care all that much at this point. I just want it clear that I don’t want seeing her to become often. I don’t like the idea of being around her right now.”
Taehyung nodded, “Neh, we’ve already talked about this. Even Jungkook is updated on all of this, so it shouldn’t be an issue.”
“Good,” Yoongi sighed, “The last thing I want is my past knocking on my door.”
It was roughly 9:00pm on a Wednesday night, which is when Jimin or Yoongi normally stopped by the store to get a few things for the week. It was Jimin’s week this Wednesday, which made Yoongi feel so relieved. It had been a long day at work, and the day just seemed like it was dragging on for forever. Everyone was trying to meet deadlines for tracks they were wanting reviewed, which included Yoongi.
He was tempted to do some editing even after he got home, but the couch was way too inviting for that to even be possible. He hadn’t been home for more than ten minutes before he was laying on that couch with his eyes closed, waiting for Jimin to get home with the food.
After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. Yoongi knew it wasn’t Jimin because he wouldn’t knock, and he was too lazy to really care who else it could be.
That was until he actually opened the door and saw who was on the other side.
It was that moment when Yoongi’s own words passed through his mind, “The last thing I want is my past knocking on my door.”
When he said that, he didn’t mean it literally, but apparently, the world did.
Because the next thing he knew, he had a crying, drunk Mari sitting on his living room couch.
He didn’t know what to do in the slightest, because not only was Mari in his living room, she was also drunk and crying. Well, not only was she drunk and crying, but just the fact that she ended up there was something really confusing.
“I… I made a mistake,” she sniffed, slurring out her words, “I shouldn’t have married him, Yoongi. I shouldn’t have.”
Whoa, married? He was caught off guard at her words, but he didn’t say anything. If he did, she wasn’t in her right mind, anyway. She probably wouldn’t remember a thing by the time morning came.
Plus he didn’t even have the ability to speak at this point. The whole situation was too weird for him to process, and he didn’t like any of the thoughts he was having around her. He didn’t like seeing her in front of him again, resurfacing old feelings that he pushed out a long time ago.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?!” she suddenly cried out, which cause Yoongi to jump and his attention to move back to her. She looked horrible in her current state, and he started to feel pity for her. What could have possibly happened to her for her to end up this way?
This is your fault, Yoongi’s inner monologue started to pitch into his thoughts, if you hadn’t broken her heart those years ago, she wouldn’t have run so far away to get away from you.
He started to curse at himself in his head as he attempted to force those thoughts out of his head. It’s not his fault. He tried to apologize and she just shut him down before he could get a single word in.
“Yoongi!” Mari cried, throwing her head into her hands, “Yoongi, why did things end up this way? Why didn’t I stay here? Why did I leave you?! Why didn’t I realize the mistake in marrying someone when I knew I didn’t love them as much as I love you?!”
Yoongi swallowed his nerves and took a deep breath, trying to decide what to do. He didn’t know what to say! What do you say to a person you haven’t seen in 6 years because they ran away from you?
“Speak to me, da** it!” she let out another sob, “Don’t just watch a girl cry in front of you!”
“What do you want me to say?” Yoongi finally spoke up, causing Mari to visibly calm down. Her sobs lessened and she let out a small smile that looked funny because of her intoxication.
“I want you to say you love me, still…” she looked down at the floor and the laid down on the couch with a sigh, “I want you to save me from him. I don’t want to see him ever again. He hurt me way more than you ever could.”
Yoongi once again swallowed his nerves, but he noticed that she was falling asleep. He didn’t bother to say anything else, fearing he’d wake her up. He looked behind him to see if he had left a blanket on the back of the loveseat he was sitting on, but he didn’t see one. Sighing, he got up very quietly and retrieved a blanket from his room.
He lightly placed it over her as she lightly stirred to get more comfortable. Yoongi watched her carefully, jumping when her eyes opened and looked at him.
“Mianhae,” she slurred, “Please forgive me for what I’ve done.”
With that, she fell right asleep. She was out cold, so much so that Yoongi accidentally dropped his can of soda on the ground near her, and she didn’t flinch. Ridding of the can with a string of mumbled curses, he made his way back into his room and closed the door.
He was about to lay down in his bed and just fall asleep, cause after the night he’s had, he was more than ready for sleep. Though, in the back of his mind, he felt like staying in his room with her laying out there was rude.
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, deciding to just sleep in the living room tonight. He’ll be woken up by Jimin to explain everything, anyway.
Sorry to leave off in a cliff hanger like that (like I haven’t already lol) but more will be posted soon! Hopefully tomorrow at 10am(CT) but no promises because it’s not finished yet...
