Yoongi felt like he had been hit by a truck when he fell to the floor. However, when he peeked at the woman in front of him, his heart started the race of its life.
Obviously, it goes without saying that all of the events are fictional and I do not...
Yoongi ran out of the practice room with no plan where he was going. He just needed to get away, away from them. Why? Why did she protect him? She even claimed to love him, just to protect her lover. His heart was broken, his steps speeding up with every image of her that resurfaced before his eyes.
Out of breath, he let his body fall against the wall behind him. He had not realized it but his feet had brought him back to the dorm, more specifically to the balcony. The balcony that held the most precious of his memories.

Meanwhile, Jin came to help Ryan who was just crying and babbling nonsense as the others have been checking on Hoseok. "Where did he go?" The dancer exclaimed out of his mind. "We need to find him. He is not himself right now." Jin looked up at Namjoon and gave him a nod. "Jimin and Taehyung, you stay with Hoseok. Kook? You and I will go look for our hyung. Jin? You've got this?" "Yes, just go!" The oldest urged his friends to move as he still tried to console a miserable Ryan. Jimin was getting the first aid kit when Taehyung shouted. "Hoseok-hyung! Where are you going?" The two youngest in the room just stood there, taken by surprise about their friend's action. "Go after him. Maybe you will find him or Yoongi. And call Joon to tell him what had happened."
As Yoongi sat on the balcony, going in and out of despair as he thought back to his time together with Ryan, his mind could not stop recalling her last words from earlier. "Yoongi? Hyung?" The rapper heard his friends calling for him but he had no intention of replying, just wishing to be alone, alone with his memories, alone with his feelings. He was about to drift off to sleep, mentally exhausted from all the thinking and physically exhausted from the lack of sleep the last few days, when he heard footsteps approaching. He looked up and was not even surprised to see who found him. "I knew you would be here!" "Am I that predictable?" He asked the person that was sitting down across from him. "Have you calmed down or do you want to punch me some more?" Hoseok inquired of his hyung as they looked at each other. "I would say that I am sorry, but I am not." Yoongi declared firmly, a hint of anger still in his eyes. They just sat there in silence for a few minutes before Hoseok spoke up. "Can you at least tell me why you are so mad at me? I have known you for years and there has never been something this bad between us." Yoongi closed his eyes as a new wave of rage crawled up his body. "Yoongi-hyung? I am confused. You said something about seducing your girl. Do you really think that I would do that?" After another few minutes of silence, Yoongi opened his eyes as he heard his friend's faint sobs. Only now did he realize that he had not only physically but also emotionally hurt his best friend, the guy that had been with him through so many hardships, the man that had always supported him and who was always there to help him with his girlfriend. "Hoba, I am sorry." Yoongi finally admitted in a very low voice. "It is okay. You know I would take more punches if it would make you feel better." Yoongi gulped visibly before giving his friend a small genuine smile as the latter wiped away the tears. "Don't worry. I don't want to ruin your chances to find a girl sometime later on." "Thank you. I appreciate it." Hoseok replied with a grin. "I just want you to know that I am really sorry. I should not have let it out on you." Yoongi felt relief creeping slowly inside him as he talked to his friend. "I confronted Ryan with my feelings two days ago. I have to admit, standing in the middle of her living room when she came home..." "Wait, hold up! You broke into her home?" Hoseok asked his friend in disbelief. "No, no... Maybe. You know I am the landlord so I have access." "Oh, God. But you cannot just go into her house without telling her." "Yes, I know! And don't worry I wish I had not done it. As I was over there, we were starting to argue and then I kissed her." "You kissed her? Like kissing her?" "Yes, I was hoping she would feel how much I love her, maybe even recalling our feelings for each other. But she..." "It's okay if you do not want to continue." Yoongi was grateful for his friend not pushing him but he came this far, so he wanted to see it through. One last deep breath as he closed his eyes before he continued. "She pushed me away, slapped me. But the worst part was only to come when she told me that she is in love with you." "With me???" Hoseok jumped up in surprise. "No way! Yoongi, I have been talking to her and we..." Yoongi could see that Hoseok was hesitant to let him in on what he was about to confess. "You can tell me. I will not punch you again." "Are you sure?" "Yes, don't worry. I am too exhausted to even move." Yoongi admitted as he looked up at his friend standing a few feet away. "We kissed!" Hoseok took some steps back, waiting for his friend's reaction. "And how was it?" The hurt was clearly audible in Yoongi's voice. "Wrong! And not only for me. She confessed to me that she will only see me as a friend and nothing more. You do not have to worry about me, my heart only holds a place for her as a friend as well." Yoongi still held the dancer's gaze just to see if he was telling the truth but he already knew that Hoseok was not lying, which was one of the things the latter could never do without being caught. "Even if I feel relieved and I am happy to know that you two are only friends, I do not see how we will find our way back into each other's arms." Yoongi let his head rest against the back of the wall as he dwelled in memories of Ryan and him being happy.
