"When tears fall, even my smallest cherished memories don't know what to do. Because it hurt so much, we promised to let each other go. When I keep thinking about you. When it's so hard that I can't take it. Please let me hear at least your breath" - Breath (SM The Ballad)
Deep thunder rumbled and lightning flashed across the living room window, forming ghoulish shadows against the pale contours of his face. Rain suddenly came down out of nowhere, the situation almost seemed mocking.
Thunder rumbled once again and Yoongi was all of a sudden sucked back into that day. That day he asked her to stay; the day everything changed.
He couldn't decide whether he did the right thing or not.
Should he be happy that she stayed? ...Or regretful that she actually did?
"Hello??" she asked again and Yoongi gripped the phone tighter to his ear, as if hearing her voice was something he needed and hungered for. He closed his eyes, his breathing becoming a little more uneven, as he thought:Definitely the latter.

Oh sh*tYoongi watched her from across the room, feeling his body go numb. He couldn't believe that she was actually here...
"Yah! Yoongi hyung?" Yoongi snapped from his shock and looked over to the sound of the call, finding Taehyung looking at him with a curious expression. "What?"
"You okay?" He asked as he clapped him on the shoulder, giving him a concerned gaze.
"Fine. Why do you ask?"
"You looked like you've just seen a ghost." He chuckled.
"I—"
"Hyung!" Jungkook called from across the room. "I want you to meet someone."
Yoongi's heart raced as he saw Jungkook pull the arm of the person he had never thought he would see again. The person he had known six years ago... who had made a mark on him that couldn't seem to be removed no matter how hard he tried.
Raehee let Jungkook pull her away from Namjoon, whom she threw an apologetic glance at. "Jungkook-ah." She said to the boy, giving him a disapproving gaze. "I was talking to—"
Raehee stopped when she realized where he had taken her. She couldn't understand the sudden fast beating of her heart as she stared at the pale boy gaping at her.
Their eyes met and time seemed to stop.
"Noona, this is my hyung, Min Yoongi." Jungkook announced cheerfully.
"Yoongi." She said, his name sounding like a melody against her lips. Before he could respond, he was caught of guard when she smiled and held out her hand to shake. The words she said felt like daggers plunging into his heart.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Jung Raehee."

Fall 2010
People always say: it's easier said than done.
She stayed. She stayed because she loved him and he loved her, and to Raehee, that was enough. Yoongi promised her the world, promise her that they would live happily ever after. And Raehee believed it; believed wholeheartedly in the plans they had made for the future.
