MY Yesterday and Forever

8 - Kiss and Make Up

You jump up from your bed to look out the window. There he is looking up at you, one hand shoved inside his pocket of his worn-out dark jeans. Your heart starts to race.

"Fine, give me a few minutes." You reply before hurrying to change from your pjs to a pair of shorts and a shirt.

***********************

Elin and Hoseok stood next to Yoongi, your cousin looking guilty because she's the one who suggested that he use her phone to call you. She walks towards you, and she gives you a hug.

"I'm sorry for setting you up. I can't help but give in to his request that he wanted to talk to you. I want you guys to settle things before you leave." She tells you.

You study your cousin's face, seeing her sincerity, you give her a small smile.

 "That's ok, I know you just want things to be better." You tell her.

"We're going to leave you two here, ok? I'll see you tomorrow." She whispers. "Please listen to what he has to say." 

You just nod in reply, and you watch your cousin and Hoseok say goodbye to Yoongi.

You lead Yoongi towards the park not too far from your place. You sit on a bench while he remains standing a few steps from you. 

"So, what do you want to talk about?" You ask him. You didn't expect him to be looking straight at you as you turn. As always, his gaze made your insides turn into a complete mess.

"Us." He replies.

You scowl at him. "Us? You told me we are over the minute I walk out from your place. So 'us' does not exist anymore." The words slip out of your tongue as the strain over this fact had bothered you for days.

He buries his hands inside his pocket but his eyes never left yours. "I wasn't thinking straight when I said that. I got mad when I saw you and Riki together. I made my anger take control."

You did the same thing with him too. It seems like both of you have a tendency to react foolishly because of anger. You look away from him, you still have a lot of questions left unanswered. 

"What do you think did I feel when I saw you and Crystal together? What's the real story between the two of you? Please be honest and because I do not want to hear any bullshit from you."

He sighs before taking a seat next to you. "When I met her, I felt like we have so many similarities because we talk the same language when it comes to music. I felt drawn to her because of that."

"And?" You prompt him when he got silent.

"What do you mean and?" He asks.

You still refuse to look at him because you didn't want him to see how hurt you were.  

"Why are you talking to me now if that's how you feel about her. If you want my blessings, you have it. I hope the two of you make wonderful music together." Your personality tends to hide your real feelings with anger or sarcasm.

"Will you please listen? You ask me what's up between the two of us and I am just trying to explain my side." He tells you, his tone showing he is close to getting mad. "If this conversation will turn into an argument, then maybe we better stop. That's not what I came here for."

You bite onto your tongue because if you don't, you'll say something that'll really trigger his anger and both of you will end up arguing. You'd try to listen to whatever he wants to say for both of your peace. 

When he notices your silence, he asks. "So are you ready to listen now?" 

His tone carries so much dominance which makes your insides burn with annoyance. Still, you continue to hold yourself back. You manage to give a slight nod.
