Her Astronaut

✯30✯

A black heavily tinted SUV appeared in front of Nova's driveway. Through her sobs, Elle looked up and was greeted by a soft smile that made her heart melt.

With the window rolled down, Yoongi's elbow was resting in the door frame. His heart broke at the sight of Elle sitting on the curb, her belongings haphazardly laying next to her on the concrete. It was evident she had been crying.

He waved to Elle as he looked at her sympathetically.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" She asked while trying to wipe the evidence of tears from her cheeks.

"When you texted me that you were headed over here, I had a feeling this would not go over well, especially since you are surprising her. The last I heard was that she wanted nothing to do with you. On top of that, she's a little preoccupied today as well."

"What's so special about today?"

"On top of the fact that we JUST arrived barely an hour ago, she invited Seokjin to stay with her for the first few days. I have a feeling they are having a little private reunion right now... in her bedroom."

"Oh god, gross. Wait, I thought she didn't want him that way. Didn't she friendzone him not wanting to pursue anything romantically?"

"If you wouldn't have ghosted your friend, you would have known that she regretted that decision from the moment she made it. Not to be an ass but we had heartfelt conversations in the past few months that should have been reserved for her best friend."

"I fucking get it, I messed up. Don't need any more reminders, especially since Karma has already shown her face as evidenced by my ass sitting her in the driveway while being locked out of the house I was originally supposed to live in with my best friend."

"Quit your whining, get in the vehicle. Let's get you to the hotel."

"Uh, I don't have a place to stay. You've already gone above and beyond getting me the sound engineering gig for your concert even after all the shit I've done to you. Besides I can't fucking afford wherever the fuck you are staying."

"You're staying with me, in my suite until you and Nova can patch it up. Besides it will allow us some time to clear the air and get past all your bullshit. Now get your ass in the car."

Elle decided this was not the time to argue with Yoongi. Sure, she desperately needs to clear the air with him and hash things out after the mess she got herself into this past winter. But she had bigger issues to clear up with Nova. As of now, she was locked out and prevented from even entering her once best friend's home. It would be best to accept help from Yoongi at the least.

Although she burnt bridges with him as well, he was at least willing to give her the time of day especially seeing that helped get her a temporary sound engineer position with BigHit.

Even though she didn't deserve it.

"Seriously, get your ass in the car. Would rather not attract any unwanted attention."

Getting up carefully, Elle stood up as she put her backpack on, and reached to grab the smaller roller suitcase. As she reached to grab the handle, she yelped when touched a hand instead. Now frozen as one Min Yoongi was no longer in the vehicle but standing in front of her, grabbing her small black roller suitcase.

"What the fuck, you and those cat-like sneaky reflexes."

"It's not my fault you don't pay attention to your surroundings."

Elle glared.

"Okay, now that's an expression I haven't seen in a long time."

She rolled her eyes making her way to the waiting SUV.
