"He doesn't deserve you," Yoongi tells you as he holds you in his arms, sitting on the couch in his living room as he lets you cry into his chest. Your boyfriend of almost two years had just broken up with you over text and the first person you called was Yoongi. You two have been best friends since childhood and every time you got your heart broken, Yoongi was the one who put it back together. He was a constant in your life and he provided you with an immense feeling of comfort.

When you two were kids, you were practically inseparable, with Yoongi sticking by your side all through elementary school as he wasn't too keen on making new friends. But in high school, things started to change. You two remained close, but you were starting to see him in a new light. Going through puberty, Yoongi was no longer the same quiet, scrawny little boy he was in elementary school. He was still rather introverted but he had grown up and matured, taking interest in new hobbies and activities like basketball and music and making new friends who shared the same interests.

High school was where Yoongi met some of his closest friends on his basketball team and they stuck together through the years, going to the same college to continue playing basketball together and even rooming with one of his teammates, Hoseok. High school was also where you got your first boyfriend. When you realized you were starting to catch feelings for Yoongi, you tried to suppress those feelings, afraid of ruining your friendship with him. And when a boy from your math class confessed to you asked you out on a date, you accepted his confession thinking this was exactly what you needed to get over Yoongi. But no matter how hard you tried or who you dated, your feelings for him never went away. All you could do was date other people in an attempt to distract yourself from the hold Yoongi had on your heart.

Gently rubbing your back, Yoongi lets out a small sigh as he silently comforts you. You always came crying to him after a boy broke your heart and although he cared about you and wanted to help you, it was getting harder and harder for him to hear about every breakup. Why? Because ever since he can remember, Yoongi has always loved you.

It started when you two first met as children. He was a shy little boy, quiet and closed off. But even as a child, you looked past his introverted nature and saw exactly what he needed; a friend. Despite his quietness and his attempts to push you away, you tried your best to befriend him and eventually, you were successful. You were annoyingly persistent and after accidentally making you cry by harshly rejecting your friendship, he apologized and accepted your friendship out of guilt. But as he spent more time with you and got to know you, he realized you were in no way short of friends. He didn't understand why you would go out of your way to befriend him when he was so difficult, but he soon realized it was just part of your kind and caring nature.

Which is why he couldn't handle hearing about this breakup, how much you loved your ex and how you didn't understand why he didn't love you. Yoongi didn't understand why you dated all these guys who could never love you the way he did. Why couldn't you see what was right in front of you? It angered him to hear you questioning your worth because of some guy who didn't even deserve you.
