스물하나: change of heart

'Out of sight, out of mind,'  they say.

Now that Eunbi had undergone all the reminiscences, she was finally able to skim through the points that she must have been missing out on, until then. Absolute absence from each other's lives must have been the reason behind Yoongi's such a change of heart. Them growing apart—both physically and emotionally, was something that they had never envisaged. Obviously, that very twisted play of fate was responsible for their story's heart-wrenching climax, with neither of them being able to differentiate between reality and illusion.

Although it was totally typical of Eunbi not to let go of Yoongi just like that, her relentless advances towards him despite him indifferently pushing her away— not too long ago— was something that used to succeed at amazing her as well.

"Just how far will I have to go to have you back, Yoongi?" Eunbi gasped with her eyes closed, letting the soft wind caress her eyelids in the meantime.

With her breath stuck still midway, she strode towards Yoongi's office with another big box of eatables accompanying her. Her eyes wandered off in a sporadic manner to avoid having been caught a glimpse of, as she knocked at his door ambiguously. The male had jumped on his seat a little because of the unannounced, strangely familiar knocking, but soon regained his composure when Eunbi's tiny face craned from behind the door.

It had become a regular chore for Eunbi, to bring Yoongi all the savories that she could recall of, which he also apparently craved for— from almost ten years back, when they still loved each other mutually. As expected, he was unaware of the trivial yet crucial fact. But Eunbi, with the last beacon of hope alive in her heart, continued her attempts of making him realize the concealed truth bit by bit.

It was seriously dumb of Eunbi to have thought that Yoongi would decipher something out of her outstandingly affable gestures, since instead of him looking deeply into Eunbi's actions towards him, there was someone else who had been keeping an eye on the drastically changing dynamic between the duo.

Go Bomin had never felt so infuriated in his entire life. Not only was the new recruit intruding into his sister's boyfriend's personal space regardless of his warnings, but was also trying to altogether erase the existence of Juhui from Yoongi's life. Gritting his teeth in utter disgust, he could not quite settle his dilemma regarding the exact point of time from where things must have started to go wrong.

Aggrieved, he fished out his phone from his pocket and immediately dialed his sister's number, informing her of the secret rendezvous that her supposed boyfriend was having with another girl behind her back.

Contrary to what assumptions Bomin had nurtured in his mind against Yoongi and Eunbi, the latter male had beckoned his subordinate to resume to her duties as soon as she was done handing over the refreshment box to him. In no way had Yoongi ever behaved in a biased way towards Eunbi, but the unavoidable possibility of Juhui crying over a man was making Bomin consider absurd scenarios and go bonkers.

He would not tolerate his precious sister getting hurt because of an individual. He just would not.

Juhui had initially appeared like as if she was rushing towards Yoongi's office, when the main entrance signaled of a new arrival. With hair strewn all over her pale and flawless face, she grasped that people would probably question her sanity if she further went ahead looking like that. Hence, while still enroute to Yoongi's chamber, she flipped her hair as if her only motive behind doing so was to show-off how immensely graceful she was. In all honesty whatsoever, it was just one of her novelties to organize her hair without putting much efforts into it.

"Does she not have anything else to do? Why is she always lingering around in here? Seriously though, is she thinking of mooching off Yoongi for the rest of her life?" Eunbi muttered to herself in distaste, side-eyeing the girl while scoffing at her simultaneously.

"She is the one who deserves to be there. With Yoongi. Alone. Do you even have an idea about the rumors that people here have already started to cook up about you two? Don't be so nosy, Miss Nam. He doesn't belong to you, anyway. He is Juhui's boyfriend, not yours to be followed around by you everywhere." Bomin annoyingly remarked, leading Eunbi to snap her neck abruptly in the direction of the wide glass pane— which was usually curtained to ensure Yoongi's privacy, but still provided a room for her to peep in through, given the angle that she had sneakily moved herself to, for the purpose.

Eunbi saw a pleased grin evident on Yoongi's visage, which she had not seen in a while. Even when she had tried to endow him with her unconditional— and currently one-sided— love, she had always failed to see that kind of contentment on his face. However with Juhui present before him, Yoongi involuntarily had a smile pasted on his lips, which neither seemed fake nor seemed to be fading away anytime soon.

Eunbi could feel the stinging sensation in her palms, which had surfaced due to her nails digging into the very same, soft base.

This was not how Eunbi had planned all of it to arrive at a finale. She was not letting a random girl take her Yoongi away from her. With her eyes turning watery because of the scene in front of her, she excused herself from Lieutenant Go's company and headed straight towards the terrace situated in the upper floor.

Not even Bomin's hurtful comments had affected Eunbi in such a way. What was she supposed to do to overcome this sense of feeling like a failure?

Yanking her phone from the back pocket of her jeans, she called a number which showed no contact name, only to order, "I need you to hack into a social media ID, positively by tonight."
