Compass

Directions

Third Person's POV

"Yoongi!" you called, walking towards his seat.

"Y/N! Hey, come here. I need you to listen to a new track I've been arranging." he replied, gesturing to the empty seat next to him.

You smiled, taking the seat. "How did Namjoon react to it?" 

"He hasn't heard it. You're the first." he shrugged.

He was searching for the track on his phone. Soon after he found it, placing his headphones gently on you.

A calm melody started playing, and you found yourself relaxing to the track. 

As the track ended, you looked at him. He was looking down, deep in thought, fingering the silver chain that hung around his neck almost 24 hours a day.  He muttered something under his breath.

You smiled, knowing that you were the only one who knew what was on that necklace that made it so important to him. 

The only thing you didn't know was, why.

You has asked him before, but he just brushed it off, saying that it was something ridiculous, nothing important.

You didn't push it, he was already going to leave to France in a week, you didn't want to push him further away.

"I like it, it has a calming melody but also like, a powerful punch to it?" I said.

He chuckled, "Y/N, you described it in a really tacky way. Powerful punch? Who says that these days?"

"Hey! You know I'm not good with words! That's all you're getting from me." you huffed, crossing your arms.

"Arasso, arasso. Thanks Y/N-ah." he smiled, ruffling your hair.

The bell rang, signalling the end of school.

You rolled your eyes, "What kind of lyrics are you planning to use?"

"I haven't figured that out yet, we'll see." he said, as he packed his things.

He stood up, "You coming?"

You nodded, grabbing your bag.

As you both walked to the "Swag Hideout" as Yoongi liked to call it, you both talked about a lot of things. He gave you tips on how to get swag, you talked to him about how he should get a haircut, the list goes on.

You arrived at the "Swag Hideout", which was technically just the treehouse behind his house.

Usually, all you did there was play video games or help Yoongi out with his composing, giving him ideas from your perspective.

But today was different.

As soon as you stepped in, your mouth dropped slightly, shocked at what you saw. 

Photos. Hung everywhere in the four corners of the treehouse.

You walked slowly towards the sea of photos hung from the ceiling of the treehouse.

You smiled, they were all photos of you and Yoongi. 

You were looking at every photo with a twinkle, or was that tears forming in your eyes?

You eyes searched for his, only to realise that he's been watching you, all this time. Standing in the centre, his silver chain no longer around his neck, but now held tightly in his hand. 

"Y/N." he started, opening his fist that was closed around the silver chain, revealing the small compass that acted as the pendant of the silver chain.

You walked towards him.

"You know, compasses don't tell you where you are. Heck, they don't even tell you where to go. All they really do is point out your options in the form of, this is the direction you are facing and these are all the other directions. You have to figure out the rest on your own." he continued.

"Each direction represents something. North, your highest inspiration. South, your connection to the present. West, your connection to the past. East, your connection to the future. To me, all of those are you. You, are my highest inspiration. You, are my connection to the present, the reason I'm the person I am now. You, are my connection to the past, the reason why I didn't give up back then. You, are my connection to the future, the reason I'll stay." he held his hand out.

You took it, letting him pull you into his embrace.

"Y/N, all four directions, point to you. No matter where I am, no matter where I go, it will always be you." he said, wiping your tears away.

He lifted your chin up, "Look at me, Y/N."

"I'm not going anywhere, alright? I'll be right here, with you." he assured gently.

"Will you be mine?" taking a deep breath, he asked, smiling as he put his silver chain around your neck.

You smiled cheekily, "Will I? Hmm let me think about it." you replied, as you looked at the small compass, with a gleam in your eyes.

Yoongi frowned, "Yah! You can't do this to me!" he whined.

You pinched his cheeks, "Yeah, yeah." 

He grabbed your hands, and pulled you into a hug.

You smiled, hugging him back.

He closed his eyes, resting his forehead against yours.

He took you by surprise by giving you a peck on your lips.

He chuckled, seeing you blush.

They say if you lose direction, go to a higher ground. But I guess I won't be needing a higher ground, because I won't ever lose you. Yoongi thought, smiling as he looked at you.
