Min Yoongi

Are you still at your parents'? : Seo Mira

▬▬

You gently placed your phone down on the nightstand before sinking back into the blanket. If Yoongi was going to stay the night he would have told you. He would at least send you a message. But after several missed calls, you were starting to get worried.

There was no reason for him to stay at his parents' house or the office. He did told you beforehand that Hoseok was going to handle the rest.

As you lay in bed, your head turned to the empty spot beside you, an uneasy feeling settling in your chest.

Or did something happened to him?

No, it can't be.

You tried to shake off the thought, staring blankly at the ceiling before reaching for your phone again, hoping that this one final call would go through. But once again, the only response was the monotonous beeping sound of the unanswered call.

Frustration and concern mingled within you as you pondered what to do next.

Hoseok : I'm almost done with work. I'll head to his parents' house.

▬▬

You took a deep breath, setting the phone down before settling back into the bed.

Pulling the blanket up to your chin, you closed your eyes, desperately trying to quiet the rising anxiety within you.

But even as you lay there on your side, staring blankly into the darkness, time seemed to stretch endlessly. You couldn't tell how many minutes or hours had passed. The distance between the company and the Min Family's mansion wasn't far. Hoseok should have been here by now.

That's when the sudden ringing of your phone made jolted you upright, almost knocking over the night lamp as you fumbled to grab your phone.

But after seeing the contact, your shoulders slumped slightly before pressing the answer button.

"Mira."

Hoseok's voice came through.

"Yoongi's at the Kang Family's place."

Your breath hitched and your mouth fell open in shock. The phone trembled in your hand as you processed what Hoseok had just said.

"What...?" You whispered, slowly sitting up as you tried to make sense of everything.

"Wait I'm coming to your place right now." Hoseok sounded like he was in a hurry as he quickly ended the call. You immediately stood up, putting on a more suitable dress as you quickly headed downstairs, almost tripping in the process.

You stood by the door as your eyes scanned the quiet streets, hoping to see Yoongi's car pull up.

But instead, after what felt like forever, another car finally parked in front of your house. A man with red hair hurriedly stepped out, his pace quick as he rushed toward you.

"Okay—" Hoseok gasped, leaving over with his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath.

"I know this is going to sound really crazy," he finally managed, his expression twisted with concern as he stood upright, "The Min Family aren't going to cancel whatever deal they have going on."

Hoseok placed his hand on the small of your back as he led you back inside.

You looked up at him, your hands curling into tight fists.

You weren't even sure what you felt — hurt, anger, or just hollow emptiness. But honestly, what did you expect?

"Listen to me first okay," Hoseok urgently grabbed your shoulders, making sure he had your full attention, "They have to continue the deal. Yoongi has to marry Gayeon—"

"Why?" You cut him off, shaking your head in disbelief, "He went all the way there for what then?"

Your voice cracked, the frustration and confusion spilling over you as you stared into Hoseok's eyes. His frown deepened and you could see the struggle in his expression, as if he was trying to find the right words to say.

"Mira." Hoseok's voice softened as he gave you a gentle shake when he noticed the tears beginning to well up in your eyes. He knew it would hurt you but he knew it was best to tell you everything.

"Kang Gayeong is pregnant."
