💋 Chapter 22 💋

Taehyung left. He climbed down your window just like he climbed up. And all the time he sat near you on your bed, you were awake. The moment he entered the window, his smell engulfed you first and you were wide awake. You didn't open your eyes because you wanted to hear what he had to say.

The stupid delusional brain of yours thought he'd give you some kind of explanation about earlier. About why he was laughing with Sorah in front of his locker. About why your delusional mind wanted to wash away the image of him enjoying Sorah's company by one word of his.

Why can't he love you back like you do?

But maybe not all questions are meant to have their answers. Maybe it's better if some things are left unsaid. He sat beside you for a while. Apologized for things he never did. caressed your head like a lover would do. And then he left.

You opened your eyes the second the window glass was shut. You quickly got up from your bed and marched towards the window. You watched his disappearing figure from behind the curtains. The way he glanced at your window before getting on his bike and driving off in the silent night. You remained hidden behind the cloth. Only admiring him from afar.

His words were stuck in your head. He apologized for something he didn't even do. He's not at fault for you falling for him, it's all on you. He didn't have to feel apologetic but he did. You had just stopped crying a few minutes before he came and now your heart was welling up again and you wanted to cry once again.

Why? Because your heart was hurt! Because you can't help but let it bleed out of pain! Or maybe because nothing hurts more than unrequited love.

Once you were sure he's far away from your house, you slid down on the ground, holding onto the pendant of yours that you've been having ever since you were a kid. It was like your archer. Everytime you're in a miserable condition, you'd hold onto that piece of jewelry. It wasn't as special but it always gives you an invisible strength.

You realized the relationship with Taehyung will come to an end no matter what. Maybe this was his way of saying thank you for your help. Maybe he's finding it hard as well to come and actually say the words. And maybe, you should start doing the same too. Stop holding onto him or anything related to him.

With a messy headache, you went to sleep even though it didn't come easily, you tried everything in your power to cut off the toxic thoughts.

Meanwhile at Yoongi's house

Ever since the farewell party, Yoongi and Aria have gone to base 2 which included hanging out at each other's places. And loosely translating hanging out meant banging each other at their houses. Like right now, Aria had called in for a rain check to her traditional weekend family dinner to spend some time at Yoongi's place.

And so, she was here. Naked and sweaty. Why, must you ask? Because of the intense workout session both Yoongi and her finished a few minutes earlier. Now they were laying on his bed, tangled in each other basking in the after-scent of their activities.

"God! I'm spent" Aria gasped as Yoongi's fingers traced patterns on her exposed shoulder.

"I'm the one who's actually spent, baby" he almost whispered in her ear. The intensity of his deep guttural voice sent shivers down Arias body, making goosebumps appear on her milky white skin. She went silent for a while and Yoongi couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her head.

"What are you thinking?" He asked. Aria looked at him while turning around and adjusting herself in his arms for better access to his warmth.

"About Tae and YN," Aria's response made Yoongi quirk his brows. "What about them?" He asked again.
