The troupe seemed to have issues with your presence. Some thought they were hallucinating, some thought they have somehow summoned your spirit and the rest couldn't believe that the strict and professional man Kang, was not what they thought but you.

The time trickled down and you failed to draw any reactions.

Clacking of heels was heard and the door barged open.

"Guys, they are announcing.", Yoonji informed and her gaze fell on you. She relaxed instantly and grabbed your hands, "Thank God, I thought you're not gonna make it."

"You knew?", Namjoon deflated.

"Bold of you to assume, I wouldn't.", Yoonji huffed, "Meets and greets for later, you're being called up on the stage."

You fixed your hair and put a candy on your tongue to calm your nerves. Everyone made small talks with you while walking out as you stood by the edge of the door. Before realization could hit, you turned to see the only person to leave was Yoongi.

"Yoongi.", you walked up to him. Thanking Yoonji a thousand times in your mind for sending you Yoongi's outfit for which you were now here paired in dressier pants and blouse, matching to his.

"Why are you here?", Yoongi's uncertainty didn't surprise you.

For you.

"You all needed me.", you joked.

"I have already paid you for your days in the academy.", Yoongi sighed, "I'm thankful, you're considerate enough to help us but once this competition ends, that is, after today, I hope you to not get associated with my academy."

You looked at him baffled. Yoongi avoided your gaze. He had to because he wasn't strong enough to get away even after seeing the hurt in your eyes. If he was toxic for you, then he'd rather let you go. Afterall, you had Mark, who was adept at almost everything, Yoongi could count of.

"You're pushing me away?"

"I-I'm not good for you, Y/N. Please, I'm trying to suppress my feelings and trust me it's not easy, not when I still love you, more than anything or anyone else.", he cupped your face and rubbed his thumbs gently on your cheeks, "I'm ready to let you go Y/N. And for that I don't want you anywhere near me. Because, you make me weak, my all resolute will dissolve within a click and I'll end wanting you more."

"You can't Yoongi.", you grabbed his hands within yours, "You can't live without me, I can't live without you--"

Yoongi chuckled, "You had a life without me Y/N. All those years, you had lived without me and I know, you were doing pretty well."

"You know nothing Yoongi. All those years, I clung onto the memories of us. There wasn't day, I hadn't remembered you. Please..."

You cupped his face and leaned up to him. Yoongi bit his lips, tracing your features and leaned closer to your face. You closed your eyes, feeling his breathes fanning on your lips and waited for him to seal the kiss. But it never came.

You snapped open your eyes to see him facing to the side.

"We shouldn't do this.", he coughed and freed your hand, stepping back.

"Why?"

"For once, I'm trying not be selfish. You made it very clear and I, myself know that I don't deserve you.", he shook his head, sucking in a sharp breathe.

"Come on, we'll be late.", he said and strolled out.

You pouted, as you followed him silently. If fate wasn't on your side, destiny had to be.
