MYG | Temptation in the Dark | Yoongi x Reader (female)

Chapter 23

Please, no!

Smoke curled from the barrel of Yoongi's gun, but for some reason, Heechul still stood there.

He's not hurt... did Yoongi just fire at the wall?

"Why won't you shoot me?" - "Why are you just waiting for me to shoot you?"

Yoongi lowered his gun and took a step forward.

"You have no intent of killing me. I'm sure of it now."

Heechul drew a sharp breath but didn't answer.

"And you're not going to hurt (Y/n), either."

He climbed onto the stage, slowly making his way towards me.

"Get away!"

Heechul pointed his gun at Yoongi once more.

Overwhelming terror stuck me, threatening to freeze me to the spot.

"Yoongi!!" - "It's alright. Just wait for a little while."

His voice was calm and soothing.

He walked right in front of Heechul, placing the palm of his hand over the barrel of his old friend's gun.

Please, please let him be okay...

"Let go of the gun. You know you have no intention on firing it. Your hands, nor mine, were not made to hold such a thing."

My breath caught in my throat. It felt like time had crawled to a stop as the two of them faced off.

After what seemed like an eternity, Heechul relinquished his grip on the gun.

"Why?"

He crumpled to his knees like a ruined house of cards.

Thank goodness...

The gun fell to the floor with a heavy clunk, and Yoongi kicked it away, then racing over to me.

"(Y/n), I'm so sorry I took so long. Are you hurt? Does anything hurt?"

He asked anxiously, helping me up. I shook my head and smiled weakly at him.

"I'm fine. He didn't do anything to me. I'm so glad you're safe." - "Is this really the time to be worried about someone else? I swear, you are just so..."

Yoongi...

He trailed off with an exasperated sigh, then gathered me up in his arms, squeezing me tightly.

"I thought I would go mad with  fear that something had happened to you."

He had sounded so calm and self-assured when he faced off with Heechul, but now his voice broke for the first time.

He must have been so worried about me...

Now that I felt his warmth wrapped around me, all the emotions I'd been suppressing to stay calm overflowed me at once.

"(Y/n). When all this is over, there's something I have to tell you."

What?

"But first, I need to talk to him. Just wait a little longer." - "Okay..."

He waited for me to nod and then he stood back up.

He walked over to Heechul, whose eyes seemed vacant now.

What did he really want to accomplish by luring Yoongi here?

"...Why didn't you shoot me?" - "The old me probably would have killed you as soon as I walked through the door... I would have come here with the intention of killing you." - "So then, why didn't you?" - "Because... I want to believe in all the things I once believed in, long ago. And that includes you."
