life vs love

Part 18 {Boiling water}

Indeed next morning she left. She was in her oldest brothers car- Atlas- heading to the airport. They pulled up and looked at the anxious Korean man looking around. Next to this anxious man was his manager who looked ready to faint.
"That is Taehyung and the man next to him is Shang- Chul" Judy said.
"Let's go." Once Taehyung saw Judy getting out of the car he sighed alongside with his manager.
"I started worrying that you wouldn't come."
"I wouldn't break my promise again."
"I started worrying that paparazzis will show up." Shang-Chul spoke up.
"Well that is still a possibility" Judy answered.
"Don't stress me more." Shang-Chul answered. Judy looked at Taehyung and they chuckled.
"Judy? Mind translating? I don't understand sh!t" Atlas spoke.
"Ah yeah. Forgot about you." Judy said teasingly.
"Ah, just great."
"Guys this is my brother Atlas."
"Nice to meet you." Taehyung with Shang-Chul said in broken English.
"We should get going." Shang-Chul reminded them.
"Bye bro." Judy came up to him and hugged him. They had quite the height difference. It was like her brother took all the height and left Judy with... 169cm.
"Be careful. And don't come back with a fiancé" Her brother said teasingly.
"So funny."
"Always. Love you sis."
"Yeah, yeah. Bye my little brother."
"Ciao." He waved at them and shortly after they were out of his eye sight. He entered the car and left.

Couple of thousands miles and some hours away.

"Taehyung failed." Jimin said when he entered the dance practice. "He's returning without Judy."
"What?" Namjoon said he was clearly mad.
"Come on!" Jungkook said angrily.
"Why?" Hobi asked with a confused voice.
"Did she not catch the flight?" Jin asked trying to not believe what Jimin had just said. Just Yoongi was silent. He was in the corner of the dance practice room with his head low while he kept looking at his hands.
"He says that she didn't come at the airport." Jimin informed them.
"I'm calling her! And she better pick up." Namjoon said and he started searching for her phone number.
"Don't" Yoongi finally spoke.
"What do you mean don't?" Namjoon asked outraged. "After everything you, me and Taehyung did to get her all those papers in such short time of three days she should have come at least because she felt like she owned to us."
"You would want that?" Yoongi asked him without raising his head. "Would you want her to come back to Korea because she felt like she owned to us?"
"If she wasn't planning to come then she shouldn't have asked for those papers in such short notice!"
"Don't you understand that she wasn't expecting us to make it on time?! She asked for all those things so we wouldn't make it! Don't you all get it? She doesn't plan on coming back to Korea ever again! That's why she didn't keep contact with us!" Yoongi had now raised his face alongside his voice too. Everyone was silent. Almost all of them had come to that conclusion but they didn't want to admit it out loud. And now that Yoongi had shouted it out... no one knew what to say. The realization wasn't subtle... to say the least.

Knock. Knock.

Taehyung walked in looking rather sad.
"You got my message?" He asked.
"Yeah, we did." Yoongi answered. "Welcome back."
"Did she at least give you a reason on why she was not coming back?" Namjoon asked still pissed.
"No. She didn't. She just texted me that she was sorry."
"Great. Just great!" Namjoon exclaimed.
"Give her some time. It's been five months since her best friend died she might still need time." Hoseok said. Of course, Hoseok was trying to find the bright side and make everyone feel better.
"Hobiga. She. Is. Not. Coming. Back." Yoongi said. With those words Namjoon walked up to the punching bag and started hitting it maniacally without protecting his knuckles.
"Hyung stop it." Jungkook said. He didn't
"Hyung stop." Jimin said. He ignored them. Jin went up to him but Namjoon pushed him away and kept on with his business.
"Hyung you are going to hurt yourself."Taehyung said worried.
Yoongi couldn't take it anymore. He walked up to Namjoon and pushed him away from the boxing bag.
"Stop that. What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing is wrong with me. Let me do what I want." Namjoon answered. They were looking at each other intensely. Yoongi wasn't about to back down. And Namjoon was not about to listen to Yoongi.
"Yoongi step back."
"No." No one was moving.
"Why are you so calm? Are you not mad that she is not coming back? Don't you care? Why did you then got all those papers if you don't care about her not coming here?" Namjoon asked with a sarcastic look on his face.
"I do care. But I accept her decision of not coming back."
Silence. No move. Just them looking at each other intensely while Yoongi still had Namjoon pinned against the wall. And then the door opened. No one looked at the door until the person standing there spoke up.
"Surprise...?" Judy mumbled. The situation was intense. Yoongi's grip on Namjoon loosened. At once all eyes except Yoongi's were on the girl standing there awkwardly.
"Judy?" Jimin said not believing his eyes.
"Hey JimJim." She answered. Without thinking he stood up and hugged her. The rest of the members no matter how much they wanted to hug her, they just sighed from relief but they didn't move because Yoongi still had Namjoon pinned against the wall. She pulled away from Jimin's hug and walked up to Namjoon and Yoongi. She put her hand on Yoongi's shoulder and motioned for him to let him go.
"Stop it... please."
"Nothing of this would've happened if Taehyung and you told us the truth." Yoongi mubled not looking at her. But he wasn't looking at Namjoon either... he was looking at his hands thinking.
"It was my idea! Judy didn't want to do it." Taehyung said. "Don't be mad at her but be mad at me." Judy looked at Taehyung and signalled him to shut up. She put her hands on Yoongi's hand that was gripping Namjoon's collar. He took his hands off Nmajoon once Judy touched him and Namjoon immediately wrapped his hands around Judy's figure.
"I thought you weren't coming back." The rest of the members also came for a hug they did a group hug except for Yoongi. They pulled away.
"Honestly i wasn't planning on coming back. Ever again." Judy admitted.
"Why?" Jungkook asked.
"I don't know." Judy said.
"You are lying." Yoongi mumbled.
"Because once I came back to Korea I wouldn't be able to leave again."
"What happened Judy you don't have a phone?" Yoongi said angrily.
"Yoongi!" Jimin scolded him.
"Let him." Judy said to Jimin.
"There's nothing to let Judy!" Yoongi answered.
"You are angry." Judy looked at him with sadness in her eyes.
"Of course I am angry!"
"Okay... What are you angry about?" Stupid question.
"What do you mean what I am mad about? Once I left New York I hoped you would actually keep contact with us. But you didn't. You send messages once in a while. Just so we coudln't say anything. We found out everything that was going on in your life through the internet! How busy could you possibly be to tell us what was going on with your life?! How busy were you to tell us about your schedule, projects, thoughts!? You remember what you told me at the airport? That we were your second family. Second famiy and shit" Yoongi said and stormed out of the dance practice without letting Judy answer.
"Yoongi!" Hoseok called out to him and was ready to follow him.
"Don't. Let him be." Judy said. "I'll talk to him later. He is mad at me. I will fix it."
"Shouldn't we check where he went?" Jungkook asked.
"He is at his studio."
"How are you so sure?"
"Where else would he be?" Hoseok asked.
"Let's go check. Maybe he went back home." Jin said. They checked. And indeed he was actually there.
"Eat? Anyone hungry?" Jin asked.
"Always thinking the food. Yeah." Hobi teased him.
"I'm just reminding." Everyone chuckled.
"Let's go." Namjoon said.
