Crystal Snow

Chapter Twenty-Four

Yoongi took in a deep breath as he looked up to see Taehyung's house. He scrunched up his nose and squinted his eyes when he saw how intoxicated the people looked even from the outside and the loud booming of the music was probably irritating their neighbors already.

"Is this even legal, Kook?" Yoongi tugged the hem of the older's shirt.

Jungkook can't help but let out his bunny smile at the younger one. He knows that Yoongi is not the type of person who will like this kind of party but he said he wanted to go.

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders and they entered the huge house of his friend and encircled his arms around the tiny waist of Yoongi.

He let out a small sigh when his fingertips brushed through the younger's stomach feeling the barely visible bump, it's cute that it made his heart jump- his child, his baby

Yoongi looked around amazed by what he saw instead of the appliances and furniture that every house has, the living room had a small platform in the middle with a mic stand with someone singing on stage.

There's a different kind of light that makes Yoongi feels a little bit dizzy, the people are loud as they are shouting with each other even grinding and dancing their heart out. Some people are eating each other's faces on the corner.

Yoongi bit his lower lips when he felt a lot of people staring at him. He looked down and traced what they were looking at he immediately made a distance between himself and Jungkook when he saw that the arms of the older on his waist were what made the other look at them like that.

Why is the popular Jungkook touching a low-profile Yoongi? That's it. Other than that, they know that Jungkook is still with Seokjin that's why they are probably wondering why Jungkook is with the younger.

Yoongi's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Mark, Taehyung, and Seokjin walking in their direction as if the three of them had their world laughing and talking to each other not even noticing the presence of him and Jungkook.

Of course, Taehyung is Seokjin's best friend. He knows for sure that Seokjin is gonna be here that's why he wants to come since he knows how much Jungkook wants to talk to him.

"Happy Birthday, Taehyung Hyung." Yoongi greeted giving a slight bow.

Taehyung stopped and chuckled at the adorable sight of the younger in their batch.

"Thanks, Yoongi. I'm glad you came." He said with a smile.

Mark went beside Yoongi and put his arms around the younger's shoulders which he always does whenever they're together. Though, Jungkook is not used to it that's why he raised his brows with no one noticing it.

"Tae, let's go?" Seokjin timidly asked.

Taehyung let out a tight-lipped smile realizing how Seokjin must feel with both Yoongi and Jungkook in front of him.

He didn't mean it. He knows that there is a possibility of him meeting the two but he also wants Seokjin to sort things out with Jungkook- to decide whether or not they want to end it.

Taehyung can admit it already, he has special feelings for his best friend. He loves him but he also knows how much both of his friends love each other, he wants to make sure this is what Seokjin wants.

"Uh yeah? Let's go." Taehyung said.

Mark, Taehyung, and Seokjin slightly bowed at Yoongi before turning their back against them.

"So now who wants to take over the stage?" The performer asked.

The crowd cheered in the people even hollering teasing their friends to go up onstage until some group of girls shyly pointed in their direction, Jungkook's- to be specific.

Yoongi giggled when he saw how Jungkook's face flushed a deep red because a lot of people were urging him to sing even just half of a song.

Yoongi let out a tight-lipped smile slowly nodding at the older encouraging him to just sing. He got to hear his voice already- it was very soothing and sweet like honey, the kind that you want to hear at night.

Jungkook let out a deep sigh and the crowd immediately screamed in excitement when he finally walked towards the platform whispering something at the performer, she nodded and already gave Jungkook the mic.

As the song started, almost the majority of the people stopped doing their thing to focus on the boy who was about to perform.

"Lately I've been thinking, thinkin' 'bout what we had..."

Yoongi let out a deep sigh feeling all of his nerves calming down because of the sweet voice coming from the older.

"I wish I could give you what you deserve..."

Jungkook shut his eyes closed feeling the song. It hurts, Yoongi can feel it too and he bet that the others are feeling the same thing.

"Cause nothing can ever, ever replace you."

As Jungkook's eyes opened. Yoongi saw it, he saw it when he met the eye of the older- how he looked like he was carrying a lot of burden on his shoulder, and it also hurt the younger to see Jungkook like this.

"Nothing can make me feel like you do."

"You know there's no one, I can relate to and know we won't find a love that's so true."

Yoongi bit his lower lips trying to stop his tears from forming and slipping out of his eyes, it's heartbreaking.

There is nothing that hurts more than seeing the one that you love and adore so much going through a lot of pain because of that someone that they love which is unfortunately not you.

"You know I'm used to making your day..."

"But that is the past now, we didn't last now. I guess that is meant to be."

The younger can't help but feel guilty especially when he sees the tears slipping out from Jungkook's eyes with regret and sadness in his voice that made the song so emotional.

"Tell me was it worth it? We were so perfect. But baby, I just want you to see."

"There's nothing like us, nothing like you and me together..."

Yoongi shut his eyes before looking behind him where Jungkook's eyes were directed- it was Seokjin, the boy that Jungkook loves with all of his heart.

He is hurting them. He is the one who is keeping them away from each other.
