CHAPTER FIFTY

♠︎♠︎



♠︎ YOU


Back in the kitchen, you poured yourself a generous helping of rum, knocking it back with a wince.

As soon as it was running through your veins, you set off in search of Yoongi.

On a night like tonight, he was the only one you could trust - the only one you felt comfortable having a complete breakdown in front of, apart from Nia, who was decidedly absent. You ascended the stairs (had you only turned around, you would have realised Yoongi was right there in the kitchen with you, but the rum was impeding your decision-making quite a bit) and set off for his bedroom. 

Knocking the door got no response, at first. So you knocked again harder, figuring Yoongi was just asleep and needed waking. Eventually, the door opened - but it wasn't who you thought it would be.

Taehyung blinked at you wearily from the darkness of the room. Clearly he'd been sleeping, and woken by your knocking. 

"What are you doing in Yoongi's room?" you demanded, emboldened by the rum.

"Um..." he began, amber eyes alive with confusion. "Nothing? This is my room."

You glanced at him, and then down the corridor - realising you had miscounted the doors - before looking back at him again.

"Oh," you hiccuped a little, squaring your eyes at Taehyung. "Sorry. I thought..."

"Yoongi's room is next door, but I don't think he's in there," he said, by way of explanation, eyeing you worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"Do you care?" you bit back immediately, entirely unsure where this venom had come from. Taehyung too, it seemed, was taken aback by your harshness.

"You're so confusing," he rubbed his face blearily. "Earlier at dinner you said you forgave me, and you were being all... but now you're being all-"

"Yes, well, I'm hurting," you rolled your eyes, as if it were obvious. "It makes me act irrational. Have you never dealt with a hurt woman before?"

"Truthfully, I've found I'm pretty shit with women on the whole," he said candidly. "Especially recently."

You nodded sagely. "I second that."

Taehyung grimaced, but he didn't seem particularly hurt by this.

"I don't think you're a bad guy, Tae," you admitted, picking at a thread on your t-shirt. "But... you did some pretty bad stuff. To me. And Kookie."
