Fragile Bond

Part 12

The following evening...
With the practice room empty and your group members having gone home for the break, the dorm felt unusually quiet. Sharon was still out of town, and the loneliness began to creep in. After pacing around for a while, you decided to reach out to Yoongi.

You: Hi Yoongi! Are you free tonight? The girls are all at home for the break, and Sharon is out of town. I was wondering if you'd like to have dinner together?

You stared at your phone, waiting for a reply. A few moments later, it buzzed with a response.

Yoongi: Hey Y/N! I'm free tonight. Dinner sounds good. Any place in mind?

You: There's a cozy little place near the dorms that I've been wanting to try. How about we go there?

Yoongi: Sounds perfect. I'll pick you up in an hour?

You: Great! See you then!

You hurried to get ready, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. An hour later, you heard a knock on your door. Opening it, you found Yoongi standing there, a warm smile on his face.

Yoongi: Ready to go?

You: (smiling) Ready!

At the restaurant...
The restaurant was a quaint, cozy place with a warm ambiance. You both settled into a corner booth, the soft lighting creating an intimate atmosphere. As you looked over the menu, Yoongi broke the silence.

Yoongi: How are you feeling, Y/N? With everything that's been going on?

You: (sighing) It's been a rollercoaster. Exciting but also overwhelming at times. I'm really grateful for the break, but it's hard being away from everyone.

Yoongi: (nodding) I get that. It's important to take breaks, but it can be lonely too. Just remember, you're not alone. We're all here for you.

You: (smiling) Thanks, Yoongi. That means a lot.

The food arrived, and the conversation flowed easily. You talked about music, your training, and shared stories from your childhood. Yoongi's presence was comforting, and you felt a sense of ease you hadn't realized you needed.

You: (laughing) I can't believe you did that during your trainee days!

Yoongi: (grinning) We did a lot of crazy things back then. It's all part of the experience.

As the night went on, you felt the weight of your worries lifting. Yoongi's calm demeanor and genuine interest in your well-being made you feel understood and supported.

Later that night...
After dinner, Yoongi drove you back to your dorm. The rain had stopped, leaving a cool, crisp night behind. He walked you to the door, and you turned to him, feeling a bit reluctant to say goodbye.

You: Yoongi, would you like to come in for a bit? I'm still feeling a little lonely.

Yoongi looked at you with a soft smile and nodded.

Yoongi: Sure, I'd like that.

You both entered the dorm, and you made some tea while Yoongi settled on the couch. The atmosphere was cozy, and you felt more relaxed with him there.

Yoongi: This place is nice. It's got a good vibe.

You: (smiling) Thanks. It's homey, which helps with the homesickness.

As you sipped your tea, the conversation naturally flowed. You both shared stories about your childhood dreams, your bonds with your parents, and the paths that led you to where you were now.

You: I used to dream of being a dancer since I was little. My parents were so supportive, even when things got tough.

Yoongi: (nodding) My parents were the same. They didn't always understand my passion for music, but they supported me anyway. It's something I'm really grateful for.

The hours passed quickly, filled with laughter and heartfelt stories. You felt a deeper connection forming, one that went beyond friendship but wasn't yet fully realized by either of you.

Yoongi: (smiling) You know, it's nice talking like this. I feel like I'm getting to know you better.

You: (softly) I feel the same way. It's comforting.

As the night grew late, you both realized it was time to part. Yoongi stood up, and you walked him to the door.

You: Thank you, Yoongi. Tonight was really special.

Yoongi: (warmly) Anytime, Y/N. You know where to find me if you need anything.

You both shared a warm hug, the kind that left you feeling safe and understood. As Yoongi walked to his car, you watched him drive away, a huge smile spreading across your face.

Back in the dorm, you couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth and contentment.
