스물일곱: right here

When Eunbi had caught Juhui barging into Yoongi's office despite his cold attitude towards her, the former did not picture the female taking more than ten minutes to render her part of the deal. On top of that, with their discussion being as civilized as ever, Eunbi was finding it harder to overhear their conversation as well.

"Just what could be going on inside..." Eunbi mumbled to herself while trying to peer into Yoongi's office through those wide glass panels which had always worked as her accomplices, but to no avail. "For fuck's sake, what's taking this girl so long?" She slammed her balled-up fist onto her desk frustratingly, causing everyone else present there to look at her curiously.

Growing impatient as ever, she ultimately decided to follow into Juhui's footsteps and establish her presence before Yoongi too, even if it lasted for mere seconds. But just as she was about to pull the door to his chamber in her direction, an oddly annoyed yet heartbroken woman emerged from the other side. Eunbi's expression remained to be dazed, not until Juhui had cracked a soulless smile at her.

"Hey... Miss Go..." Eunbi was uncertain regarding how to address Juhui, which was quite apparent through the way she had spoken. Waving her hand awkwardly at her, she tried to suffice her incomplete greeting, but as it turned out, she had indeed placed her step into the wrong direction.

Something about Eunbi's hand was strikingly recognizable. Juhui attempted to stick whatever scattered pieces of her memories had flashed through her eyes right then, subsequently closing them as she shook her head dismissively realizing that maybe, she was just being a paranoid.

Wearing back the same confident smile that Eunbi had always envied, Juhui patted the former's arm amicably before uttering, "I hope you have a nice day," and went past her. In a heartbeat, she was already out of the station. Eunbi could not help but trail her figure till the very end.

Something about their little rendezvous seemed off to Eunbi, nearly ominous. She did not even realize when her eyebrows got knitted into one due to the same worry. Though when she absentmindedly entered into her superior's office and came face to face with a silently sobbing Yoongi, not only her senses got knocked into her once again, but the confusion over her features had also gotten replaced with grief.

Out of reflex, she ran towards Yoongi, heedless of every other thing in the world. At that moment, empathizing with his woes was Eunbi's foremost concern. But she was not exactly sure of how to do that. Yoongi might feel uncomfortable if she happened to show skinship, provided how he had rejected Bomin's claims of them mutually liking each other the very previous day.

But how did that matter?

And so, Eunbi leaned towards Yoongi while still standing next to his seat, enveloping him in her endearing embrace. It took the male some time to register what had just taken place, but when it became lucid, he held onto her arms and began to cry even more bitterly. After all, a bit of warmth was all that he had been craving, following that cursed recital of her ex betraying him with another man. Eunbi decided to wait for Yoongi until he had cried his heart out, for only then could she expect him to tell what actually went down a few minutes ago.

Nonetheless, he took more time than she had projected in her mind, leading her to feel like as if her knees were giving up. She squatted down at first, which made Yoongi question her sudden action. With that momentary perplexed look on his face, Eunbi had figured out the kind of answer that he was looking for.

"Nothing, just the effect of aging." Eunbi feigned a smile, to which Yoongi reacted with an amused simper.

A smirk amidst streams of tears—truthfully, it looked hilarious to Eunbi.

"Youcouldhavetakenachair." Yoongi grumbled in a single go, which Eunbi obviously could not comprehend. Squinting her eyes in utter helplessness at the boy whom she secretly loved, she had unknowingly peeved Yoongi even more.

"I said you could've taken a chair, goddamn it!" Yoongi yelped whilst still crying like a lost toddler, and Eunbi swore she would not have taken this amount of tantrums if it were for someone else.

"What the—why are you suddenly turning into a hormonal teenager?" Eunbi muttered rather inaudibly as she hauled a chair along with herself, and sat even closer to Yoongi this time.

Much to Eunbi's surprise though, it was him at that very moment who had trapped her into his arms. She stayed seated frozen as Yoongi adjusted his chin on her shoulder, muttering sequentially to her every bit of the conversation that him and Juhui had shared with each other a while ago. Though him ceasing his narration somehow acted as a cue for Eunbi to sweep Yoongi's trust into her favor furthermore.

"It's okay, sir. I'm right here, I'll always be here whenever you need me. And I won't break my promise, that's a sure thing." Eunbi consoled Yoongi as she continued to caress his back.
