This fucking place and you

Heartbeat

Before I could leave, I crashed my body into someone else's. I inhaled sharply. The familiar scent of a person filled my nose. Immediately, I stopped moving. Gently, two hands touched my shoulders and pushed me back a little so that I could see his face. 

His face... His eyes. His nose. His cheeks. His lips. He was there. He stood in front of me. He raised his hand and touched my face. He let his hands glide to my hips and pulled me close. My ear was on his chest. I finally heard his heartbeat again after such a long time. 

I really wanted to hug him back. I wanted to scream at him so much that I actually liked him. I wanted to... but I couldn't. So I just stood there while he hugged me as if I had risen from the dead. His hands clawed at my clothes, his face pressed against my neck. I felt him sharply inhale the air as if he wanted to inhale my scent. 

My heart and his were together again. But as wonderful as the moment was, it didn't last forever. Unfortunately. Behind me, someone cleared their throat loudly. Yoongi slowly lifted his head and I turned around. "Are you completely out of your mind? She is a little slut and you throw yourself at her as if you've been happily together for three years! Don't you realize what she did? What did they do to Namjoon?" 

Taehyung looked angry and stood up. He slammed his hands loudly on the table, causing the people at the neighboring tables to notice us. Namjoon raised his hand reassuringly and looked at Tae seriously. "Calm down, okay? Not here, Taehyung. This is a matter between Yunai and me. Please stay out of it." 

Then he turned his head in my direction. His gaze flicked back and forth between me and Yoongi. He seemed to understand that something must have happened between us in the two days I was with them. He nodded slightly, even though he looked disappointed. Disappointed because I didn't like him in the way he possibly liked me?

Slowly, he stood up and walked towards me. „Hi. You, um... You look tired. Is everything okay?" His face clearly reflected his actual question: Did he do something to you? I just looked at him, still feeling Yoongi's arms around me. They gave me support, but I gently shook them off. 

"I... hi. I'm doing well. Thanks for asking." Once again, I lowered my head and took a step away from everyone. Quickly, I threw a glance at Yoongi. He responded to him intensely, just like back then. I swallowed hard when I noticed equally dark circles under his eyes, just like mine. His lips looked as if he had done nothing but bite them bloody while he pondered everything and nothing. 

"I should go. It... it was nice to see you all again. Even if you certainly couldn't claim the same." I laughed lightly, it sounded strained and painful. "No, wait!" Yoongi opened his eyes wide in panic. "Don't go again! I finally found you, you can't just disappear again." He took a step towards me, but I had to back away. A feeling of déjà vu washed over me. Full of pain, I remembered our last farewell. 

"I'm sorry, I can't. He... he won't let me." I whispered the last sentence, but he and Namjoon understood it without any problems. Yoongi's face twisted in anger. "Who? Is it this Darren?" He took another step towards me, but was interrupted by a cold voice. 

"What's wrong with me?"
