Fate part 2

Chapter 222

Mina's P.O.V.
Just fix your hair.. That's all that was left to do. The soundchecks went well. My earpieces didn't fall, but I HAD to get used to the feeling of the taped wire down my back. The awards were starting soon. I needed to finish getting ready..
Yoongi didn't have to be so honest. He could've said it was because he wanted to and leave it at that. Now, both our feelings are hurt. He did say he was my friend.. Maybe he didn't really mean it.
"Why did I put my foot in my mouth, huh?"

"Is that why you're getting ready in here? Not to see Namjoon sunbaenim?"
Come on, be serious.
"Or his hyungs?"

"Bingo." I sighed. "Thank you for letting me do that, Jake. I needed it."

"You're always welcomed here. We're always happy to see you noona."
And I'm so thankful for that.

I put my comb down and turned to him. "I won't make it a habit. I promise."
There's one thing though..
"Before I go, can I.. get a hug?"

The smile I got. "Really? From me?"
Jake opened his arms.
"Not that I've been waiting half a year for one."

It was a quick hug with a tight squeeze before we pulled apart.
"So, you did want one last June."

An amused smile. "Yeah, definitely! But I wasn't gonna hug someone who didn't want one."
He looked around.
"Go before the rest of my band ask for one too."

Yoongi's P.O.V.
I fucked up. I fucked up so bad.
"Hyung, if you don't want to be here, you can go. You can take your seat if you'd like."
Yeah, right. My seat is at your table. It won't change a thing.

"I'd rather wait here, thanks." Besides, you want me to leave you alone? You two alone? Not a chance. Yes, I want Mina to be well because it reassures my best friend, but if both of them are down, who cheers the other up huh? The point is.. I want my friends happy, that's it. I worded it wrong and I did so with the wrong person.. with the wrong couple, let's be honest here. They argued on if omiting things is lying or not for days. It only matters if what you're hiding is bad, no? Anyway.. I'm NOT arguing with them. I will lose. One of them being sensitive is hard enough to manage. Imagine two of them?

"Then stop clicking your tongue. I know you don't agree with what I did."

"I never said that." He's right. He should've waited for the award season to be over or not talk about what it was. He should've said he was okay. That's it.

Joon glanced at me in the mirror. "You don't have to. It's obvious."
He paused.
"Look at me when we're speaking, hyung."

For fuck's sake. I did. "I might not agree, but I didn't stop you. Isn't that what counts? You and your partner haven't slept much. I know that because I didn't have to share my bed with Hoseok."
Another thing making the both of you grumpy. Less than 7 hours of sleep and you're both unstable. Kids, I'm telling you.
"You don't need the speech she's done again."

"Why do you assume she's against it?" Don't you dare bite your cheek. Be angry with me. YELL at me, if you must.
"Stop side-eyeing me, hyung."
He wouldn't tell me what to do.
"Min made sure I worded things correctly and that I was certain about sending it this morning."

Namjoon's P.O.V.
She did speak of it at lenght with me. It's out of concern, not disagreement.. I think. Even so.
"I'd rather she helps me with it even if she disagrees, instead of shutting up and letting me throw myself at the wolves."

I got startled by Yoongi getting out of his seat. "Oh, because you'd have listened to me? You'd think I'm being condescending. Give me a break."
Then he hit a NERVE.
"Only reason it passes well is because you're thinking with what's between your legs."

"I dare you to repeat that." If my chair wasn't drilled into the floor, it would've flipped.
"Do it."

His hand grabbed my shirt.
"Don't make me."

"Min Yoongi, you take your hands off him right NOW."
Kitten?
"The both of you sit down."

He let my collar go.
"I'm not interested to hear your disappointment in me. Save your judgement for him."

"At least you know how I feel, but I wasn't gonna bless you with a remark. Sit."
I don't know how, but she got him to sit.. I did so too.
"We're all at our worst here and if we were back home in our PJs, it'd clearly be another story."
I couldn't understand what she was gonna say. She turned to my hyung.
"I wanted to apologize for calling Tae instead of you when Namjoon was sick."
That surprised me.
"I hurt your feelings, but I didn't know if you could show me kindness like you do Joon and Jimin. It's selfish, but I needed comfort and support to help him get better. When you showed up at the hospital, I realized I was wrong and I've been.. prideful? I guess I couldn't admit that to myself. Even less to you. You've been so nice to me. I figured you had no reason except his well-being to do so."
When did that fight happen?
Min took a deep breath, her exhale came out with a slight shake.
"You calling me your friend.. Letting me hug you.. setting up my earpieces this morning, getting me a job with Big Ocean. I didn't see a reason for you to do that for ME and say that to ME... I'm sorry for hurting you, Yoongi-ssi. I didn't realize it."

I had to say something. "Min, I-"

Her finger lifting up was enough to stop me. "Joonie.. I love you more than the air I breathe, but don't interrupt us. This has been lingering for weeks, and we're fixing this tonight."
She crossed her arms, thumbs soothingly moving back and forth.
"..Think we can do that?"

She's genuinely worried. Hyung, say something. "I might've worded things very poorly, but it's nothing we can't fix over a drink or two during the awards right?"
He got out of his seat, gently.
"Just.. Don't cry, because your boyfriend will murder me for it.."
His hand rested on her shoulder, trying to meet her gaze.
"You are my friend. It hurts to know you couldn't tell I meant that, but I understand. I'm sorry we only talk because of someone else's situation or invitation in our free time. We'll try to change that."

Min nodded. "It's been really hard to figure out, but thank you for all you're doing. It means a lot."

My hyung turned to me. "Joon, make your girlfriend's eyes not teary. No one can look emotional on the carpet."

Tell that to your own eyes. I pulled them both in for a hug.
"You really are my two favorite people.."
Yoongi got out of it after a few seconds while my partner stayed by my side, her arm around my waist.
"Thanks for.. way too many things. I'm sorry I haven't done much-"

"You're not out of trouble yet. Don't thank us too soon. We're gonna make mistakes. We have all of the after-party to talk about it."

"Oppa, no offense, but I think our heads are gonna hit our pillows as soon as the awards are done. This is too much emotion for one day."
Min had a very good point.

"We can have dinner at our place in two days. Good?"
No one argued. I'll take that as a yes.
"Now.. Since when does Min have a job with Big Ocean?"
