Bangtan, Baby

Chapter 16

Yoongi's POV:

With red eyes from crying I entered my building. But instead of going straight to the dorm I went to the roof and succesfully avoided the others. I stepped out of the elevator and saw the scene in front of me, looking the same as that special night. I wondered how it got from that moment to this.

I took a chair and got seated by the edge of the roof, looking over the city of Seoul with a sunset view. Flashbacks from that beautiful night came to my mind. The dinner that the guys prepared for us, the food market, our talks and especially our passionate kiss.

But seeing her all angry and hurt broke my heart in million pieces. She was right for being hurt by that news column, but I'm frustrated for the fact that she didn't want to listen to me. If I just got to explain to her what happened.....

"Yoongi hyung?" I heard Namjoon's voice behind me, but I didn't felt like reacting. Namjoon walked closer to me and took a seat next to me. "I guess she saw the news before you could reach her?" I could only nod at the question. "What did she say?" Joon asked.

"She was very distant and had a reply for everything I said." I answered, trying not to cry. "But could you explain it to her at least?" I heard the worry in Joon's voice. "She didn't gave me a chance to." I sadly said while looking at Namjoon.

"It doesn't sound like the Soo Ra we know." Namjoon said. "Well, I know for a fact that she had dealth with a lot of sadness and loneliness in her past..." Namjoon looked at me with a questioning look. "..But that is not my story to tell." I continued.

"I see. I understand why she would feel betrayed, but Area always knew her as someone whom was very friendly and would fight for justice." Namjoon explained. "Knew her?" I noticed the past tense he used. "What do you mean by that?"

Namjoon made a difficult face before replying. "Well, before you came, Area was there first. She wanted to convince Soo Ra to trust you and listen to you...." "Jinjja?" I interrupted him. "...yeah, but Soo Ra stayed harsh and they got into a heated fight. So they're not really friends anymore."

"I really wonder what got into her mind. Now she has barely anyone to talk to." I desperately said. "Maybe you can ask Hoseok hyung, he is pretty close to her as well. Maybe he can talk to her." Namjoon offered. "I think I will do that." I shortly answered.

"But also leave her for a bit. She as a lot to go through and maybe she will get back to you when she hear the news from our side." Namjoon advised. "I really hope so." My voice cracked while talking. "I bet she will." Namjoon comforted me by putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Shall we go to the dorm? It late and cold, and tomorrow you'll have to talk to our manager and PD-nim." I nodded at Namjoon and we stood up and got inside. "Namjoon-ah, thanks a lot. I understand what Aera sees in you." Namjoon smiled at my statement before going into our dorm.

- Next day

I've slept for barely 4 hours or so, and my alarm got off at 7 o'clock. With bags under my eyes I took a quick shower before heading to the office. I didn't feel like talking about it, but I knew I had to. Things need to get cleared. For the world, as well for Soo Ra.

After an hour I arrived at the office and got into a room with Bang Si-hyuk and our manager Sejin. "Morning manager Sejin, PD-nim." I greeted them with a bow. "Morning Yoongi-ah." Sejin responded. "We'll get straight to the point. Please tell us what happened exactly." Sejin said.

"That way we can clear it out to the press as good as possible." Si-hyuk said. "Alright, I will do so..." I said and began to explain the whole situation. "Never thought that Nari would be capable of doing this." Si-hyuk said with a disgusted face.

"We recorded this, so we can tell this story in a way to make it clear to the press." Sejin said. "And it would be wise to make a statement by yourself." Sejin continued. "What do you mean? How?" I asked.

"You don't have to say anything to the press, but it would be clever for you if you stopped the collaboration with her immediately." Sejin explained. "Of course. I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore!" I offendedly said.

"Than that is settled. Destroy the music that you made for her and break contact with Nari and her label." Si-hyuk added. "But what caused the trouble between you and Soo Ra?" Senji asked. I scratched my head nervously. "That is very complicated."

"We really need to know Yoongi. Nari said something about 'another girl', did she meant Soo Ra?" Si-hyuk asked. "Yes, she did." Admitted it. "Soo Ra and I had a great connection and I told Nari about her, but never mentioned Soo Ra's name for her privacy." I explained.

"I think Nari got jealous and want to tear Soo Ra and me apart. And she even got it done too." I said in annoyance. "I see. Fortunately she won't be at the office for a week since you all have a busy schedule." Sejin said.

"In that way you can both take your time and we have time to clear this situation out." Si-hyuk said. "Thank you for being understandable." I said. "Of course Yoongi. We know you for 11 years." Si-hyuk said.

"We knew that there was something wrong when we saw the news." Senji added. "Thank you for explaining this to us, Yoongi. You may go to the rest now." Si-hyuk said with a smile. "I'll be going then. Thank you." I bowed to them before leaving the room and head to the boys who were at the dance studio.

I walked through the whole building to reach the studio. It seemed like forever to get there. a minute later I reached the door to the studio and I opened it. 6 heads were staring at me before they began to talk to me.

"Hyung, how are you?" "How was it with manager Sejin and PD-nim?" "Is everything going to be fixed now?"

"I'll beat that Nari-b*tch up for you!" Jungkook fiercely said with a bat in his hands. "Jeez, easy guys! And Jungkook, put that bat down!" Jin mothered the guys.

We got seated in a circle and I began to tell everything about what Sejin, PD-nim and I talked through. After I spoke I got some water for my dry throat. "We're really lucky with having managers like them." Jimin said.

Suddenly something came to my mind. "Hoseok-ah, could you do something for me?" I asked him. "Of course hyung. What is it?" Hoseok replied. "After, let's say two days, the press published my story, could you check up at Soo Ra?" I really hoped he would say yes.

"Why me hyung?" Hoseok looked at me wondered. "You are pretty close to Soo Ra as well. And I don't like the idea that she has no one to talk to, really." I explained to him. "Of course I can do that. But I remind you beforehand; I'm not an owl who exchanges messages." Hoseok said.

"Of course not hyung. I just want to know if she is fine and keeps up with the news." I said. "When do you want to talk to her?" Taehyung asked me. "I don't really know. She was extremely hurt. I think I must be happy if she even looks at me." Suddenly I felt a droplet on my cheek. I then realised it was a tear.

"Yoongi-ah, don't cry. Soo Ra will come back to you. Don't worry." Jin tried encourage me. "Aera even said she never saw Soo Ra being THAT hurt." Namjoon said and I shook my head. "Thanks to me and that monster Nari."

"You don't understand do you?" Jimin looked at me in disbelieve. "I understand she hates me." I snapped. "Foolish hyung. She might be hurt, but doesn't hate you..." Tae wanted to speak but I interrupted him. "You clearly didn't see her reaction."

"Then you didn't look close enough." Jimin said. "What do you mean by that?!" I really got crazy right now about their comments that led to nowhere. "Hyung, what we're trying to tell you the whole time, but you keep talking between us...." Jungkook started.

"Is that Soo Ra LOVES YOU!"

Is it really?! She was hurt badly because she LOVES me?!
