MY Sweet Interlude

Part 39 - Hold Me Tight

Aliya exerted all her efforts to make a conversation with Yoongi when they were in the car, but she gives up trying when he remains silent. The tight grip he has on the wheel shows he is still upset, she decides to wait until he blows off his steam. She closed her eyes and tried to relax her distressed nerves, her body thankfully stopped shaking. Her arm throbbed a little but not too much for her to be bothered by it. She tried to erase the bad moments of this night and focus on the good ones instead. 

She is going to see Yoongi's home for the first time. She's never seen it before because she never got invited. She knows that the house is barely a year old and the boys always talked about how cool it is. They said he designed it himself so she is looking forward to seeing it. She opens her eyes and finds they were going on an uphill road, after a few turns, they came upon a modern designed house with automatic gates. The landscape is accented with white pebble rocks surrounding  dark cobble steps and the plants were well maintained. 

Wooden steps leads to a large oak door and it opens to a receiving area with some soft chairs. His house has an open concept with granite floors and the walls were painted white with grey accent. When Aliya is about to take her shoes off, Yoongi made the move to undo the straps. When she thanked him, he just walks away and heads towards the dining area stopping at a bar that holds a variety of liquor. He immediately fills his glass with whiskey drinking it straight before pouring himself another one. 

Aliya could only watch him silently. "Would you like a drink?" He finally speaks after his second glass.

"No thank you." She replies, frustrated over the fact that  she can't read his expression. "You're so quiet, it's kind of making me uneasy. Are you still upset?"

It takes him a long time to answer. "Yes."

"With me?" 

He turns to scowl at her. "Why would I be upset with you?"

"Because I was stupid enough to get myself trapped in that situation."

Yoongi shakes his head before running his hand through his hair messing up the style he had on it though having it messy gave him a different appeal. "That was not your fault Aliya. I shouldn't have let myself get distracted when I was supposed to be looking for you."

Aliya remained silent fiddling  with her hands as she tries to decide whether she should tell him about witnessing what happened between him and Mari. She didn't get a chance to say it because he throws her a confusing question. 

"Does it hurt?"

"What?" Does it hurt to see and hear what he and Mari were talking about? She sees him looking at her arm and she wanted to kick herself for her silly thoughts. He's talking about her arm what else?

"Just a little." She replies. her arm is now bluish-purple with small cuts from Mr. Choi's fingernails. 

He looks enraged again. "I want to go find that motherfucker and beat the shit out of him."

"Please calm down Yoongi. I'm fine." Aliya walks towards him and she gives him a hug. "Thanks for worrying about me but please don't hurt other people for my sake." She's just touched over his concern for her. She's also trying to distract him just in case he decides to leave the house and find Mr. Choi.

Yoongi remains motionless as Aliya hugs him. She can feel his heartbeat racing from anger so she hugs him tighter. "I appreciate what you did for me tonight." She whispers. He finally moves to place his arms around her with his hands rubbing her back. "Now please erase all thoughts of getting even with Mr. Choi ok? Why don't you take a break from drinking and show me around your cool house." She smiles at him before breaking their embrace.
