Fragments of the Past

Chapter 8: Confronting the Past

Yoongi POV:

I'm still at the hotel bar, unable to believe that she's been ignoring me all day. She has a way of driving me crazy. I'm going insane.

I stumble my way to my hotel room, still nursing my drinks. My mind is a mess, and I can't seem to think straight.

It isn't until I find myself standing outside her door that I realize what I'm doing.

She opens the door, wearing a comfortable pajama set. It's ridiculous how even in her sleepwear, she manages to look sexy. I'm losing it.

Dalggom POV:

I'm in my hotel room, getting ready for bed. After taking a shower and doing my skincare routine, I put on my pajamas.

As I'm relaxing on my phone, choosing pictures to post on Instagram, someone knocks on the door.

I open it, and to my surprise, it's Yoongi. What is he doing here?

Dalggom: What are you doing here?

He enters the room without saying a word and closes the door behind him, clearly intoxicated. Oh no, not again. Dealing with him in this state is always a challenge.

Dalggom: Please leave. It's late, and I need to sleep.

Yoongi: Why are you ignoring me? Am I really invisible to you? It's unfair that you've forgiven everyone except me.

Dalggom: I haven't forgotten anyone; I'm just trying to move forward. And don't say it's unfair. You know you're the reason for all of this.

Yoongi: The reason for all of this? Really?

He starts laughing, and I can't understand what's so amusing to him.

Yoongi: So, it's my fault, huh? My dad got injured at work and got fired.

Dalggom: You know I'm not talking about that.

Yoongi: Then what? What is my fault? Would it have been better if I left my family to suffer?

Dalggom: Stop it. You know I didn't mean it that way. There are countless ways to make money without getting involved in illegal activities.

Yoongi: Don't talk about something you don't understand.

Tears start welling up in my eyes.

Dalggom: Listen, you put yourself in danger. You were selfish and didn't think about the consequences if something bad had happened to you.

Yoongi: Consequences?

Dalggom: Your family would have suffered immensely if something had happened. They would have been devastated, and you wouldn't have been able to help them in their difficult situation.

Yoongi: Just my family, huh?

I cry, feeling overwhelmed by the weight of our conversation.

Dalggom: Yoongi... Don't make me talk about this. You meant a lot to me back then, but it's all over now.

Yoongi: Are you sure it's over? Have you really moved on?

Dalggom: Yeah.

There's a moment of silence between us.

Dalggom: Please go back to your room now. I need to sleep.

I guide him towards the door, but he stops me and pushes me against the wall. Our faces are inches apart, and I feel butterflies in my stomach. It reminds me of our first kiss.

Flashback:

We had just left the party, Yoongi and I. Since my house was close by, we decided to go there. We were both drunk.

When we arrived at my room, we sat down.

Yoongi: Do you want to play Truth?

Dalggom: It sounds fun. Let me start. Have you ever lied to me?

He takes off his shirt, and I can't help but notice his abs.

Dalggom: Nice body you have there.

"I can't wait to see yours," he said, winking at me. "My turn. Have you ever had a crush on any of the band members?"

I take off my shirt, and there's desire in his eyes.

Yoongi: Fuck! I can't control myself anymore, come here.

We lock eyes, and he suddenly leans in, grabbing my face with one hand and my waist with the other. Our lips meet, and I feel a surge of excitement coursing through me.

Yoongi: You're going to drive me crazy.

He kisses me again, this time with more passion. His hands hold onto my hips, and I can't help but get goosebumps.

He stops and looks at me.

Yoongi: What the hell am I doing?

He grabs his shirt and leaves.

End of flashback.

I won't let him do this to me again. I push him away.

Yoongi: Why are you pushing me? Are you scared that I'll kiss you? Because that's exactly what I was going to do.

Dalggom: Forget it. Seriously, just leave.

Yoongi: The princess wants me to leave, but I know you won't resist me for long.

He exits, leaving me alone in the room once again.
