Living Nightmare | m.y.g (angst/smut)

Chapter 40 - Expose ◆

"Mom. Are you in there?" I knocked slowly while looking down on the floor. I terribly need someone to hold me right now. So the first thing I thought of that would give me extra comfort aside from Yoongi, is my mother.

My mind is clouding up with so many thoughts that send scourging reactions to my chest. It seems like Mom is the only resort in my paranoid state. And about Yoongi, I want to avoid him today, however, way but I do. I decided to stay the night here and cool everything down before dealing with it. It's not like it's a big deal, but knowing Minju, she'll make everything big just to get her spotlight and impress her audience; rather get her ex's sympathy to be exact.

After the boxes were settled in my room, I went directly to her.

I slowly trickled in, pushing my pair of converse out of my soles and jumped into bed with her. "Where did you go today?" She asked me, rubbing my hair. I looked up to her with a sad face. I can't help it, and I don't want to hide it from her. It feels like this mask of sadness has been plastered ever after the incident with Yoongi's ex-girlfriend happened. It bothers me up until now, how Yoongi would react to it just seeing other people's perspective and not mine; I don't know. I can't handle Yoongi's reaction, can't when I'm twisted like this.

Apart from it, she can sense the caution, I don't know how she does it but maybe it is natural, coming from an innate nature of a mother, she can see things through regardless of the need to hint her.

Serenity is washing over me right now. This is my first time entering their room. I felt double the comfort I need. I almost tear up just feeling her stroking my back.

"Mom, can I sleep here?" I asked her after taking in the refreshing breeze through my nostrils. I can feel the tip of my nose chilling from the cold. When my mother noticed me sniffing, she covered me with a thick blanket and continued stroking my spine down to my hip and routinely did it all over.

"Yes, of course." The hint of uncertainty is visible in her voice. I panicked, worried about my decision. "If you don't want-"

"No. Stay." She cut me off.

"I'm just bothered." She smiled the kindest, I rubbed her hand and pulled it to hug me for more.

A knock came on the door. "Come on in." Mom and I anticipated for that someone who's barging in.

I am surprised when Taehyung entered, the look on his face got me terrified.

I'm sure Mom felt my fear. I was shaking lightly, still, it indicates how badly distorted my mind was.

Even I myself doesn't know why I was being like this, it's not like I did wrong to anyone. And then I remembered my encounter with her; if I anything else happened, I know it was done for my own sake.

I stared up at him again, his eyes accusing.

"You did nasty to Minju." His mouth drew out poisonous words I don't want to hear. His eyes are boring into my soul, catching them through the gaze and burning them into the pit of hell.

I immediately hug Mom. She circled her hands over me when she got the message.

"She was trying to push me through. I can't bear my temper rising, I served her what she want." I said, solid and driven.

He walks in closer, going to my direction in the large-size duvet. I felt irritated in one bit, I can feel my blood boiling inside me when it notice V's approaching presence.

"You don't know what happened. Stop giving me false accusations!" I shouted at him. He seems taken aback with my words. As to why I suddenly raised my tone at him, he stood agape.
