The runaway bride

Chapter 40: Friends.

"You're not going anywhere." Jin grabbed Yoongi's coat and dragged him back inside. "You still have to talk to us."

"Why the fuck did you keep this away from me?" Yoongi yelled, a step closer to Jimin.

"I already told you. Everything happened so fast, and it's not like the next day we had time to talk to you." Jimin explained once again.

"Besides, you stopped talking to us. If you were interested to know the truth, you could have asked us." Namjoon continued.

It was Yoongi's fault, as much as it was theirs for their misunderstanding. Yoongi grabbed a hold of his own hair and rolled down a wall. Jin kicked Jimin in his leg and nodded with his head towards Namjoon, signaling them to fix their problem.

"I've lost my friends because of something so stupid." Yoongi muttered under his breath. Jimin and Namjoon sat next to him, one on each side.

"You didn't lost us." Jimin patted his back.

"Yeah. Even though we didn't talk much and you pulled some shit against us, we still consider you as a friend." Namjoon stated with a smile on his face.

Yoongi scoffed. "I can't take it back."

"We know why you did it." Jimin spoke softly, causing the rest of their friends to gasp.

"Yeah. Victoria explained it to us." Namjoon continued.

"You have a great wife Yoongi. Though you treat one another like shit, she loves you very much." Hoseok stepped in. "I saw how she looks at you. She longs to be with you. For real."

"I really want to slap all of you." Jin had his hands on his hips and looked at each one of his friends. "This could have been avoided if you'd talked like normal people. Not going around avoiding until it's festering."

Yoongi, Jimin and Namjoon had their heads lowered. They couldn't argue with him since he was right. Every heartache they had, it could have been avoided if they took time to talk about it. Not knowing what the problem was, only made room for interpretation and assumptions.

"I'm sorry." Yoongi muttered.

"Me too." Namjoon and Jimin both said it at the same time.

"You should be." Jin sighed.

"Now that we are finally back together as friends and our long lasting friendships is repaired, go to her." Jungkook took Yoongi's arm and brought him up to his feet.

"Go after her. She is the love of your life anyway." Jin encouraged him.

"Thank you." Yoongi hugged his friends, one at a time, tears running down his face.

Victoria walked to her room, numb by the pain that strangled her heart. The good thing about all of that, was that she managed to have an honest conversation with her sister. Would she be able to do the same with Yoongi? Her secrets were already exposed, but the weight on her shoulders was still pushing her on her knees.

She walked in her dark room, the moon was shining outside, almost mocking her. Even the moon had something against her. She took her shoes off and dragged her feet to the balcony. The late night air was caressing her skin, a tear rolled down her cheek.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, reminding herself of who she was. She was the girl who build herself up in spite of everyone. She was the girl that married the love of her life, the wife who protected her husband. The daughter that was pushed aside like a used cloth, but still chose to do the right thing for them, even if it was twisted. She didn't know how to make it better, she had no real model to follow. She did what she thought it was the best. A sad smile spread on her face. She was the girl who chose to survive midst everything. Yes. She was strong, and she won't ever bow to anyone. She won't ever break.
