Yoongi is calling!

accept / decline

Krystal knew Yoongi was calling because he had arrived, so she immediately ran out of the house to meet her best friend.

"Thank you for wanting to help me look for him." She grinned as she hugged him.

"I'm not helping you look for him. I'm taking you to where he is." He whispered as he patted her on the back and pulled away from the hug.

"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked.

"I did, but you never quite listened." He replied as he got inside.

Krystal got in the car as well and beamed.

"Buckle your seatbelt!" She ordered as she buckled her own seatbelt.

"You and the damned seatbelt." Yoongi laughed to himself as he buckled his seatbelt as well.

The drive wasn't long, but Krysral frowned at the sunny sky. She loved rainy days.

She wanted it to rain, so she could jump in puddles with Taehyung again, but she knew she couldn't control it.

She had thought of a way to approach Taehyung. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to scream at him for disappearing again or hug him because she missed him.

"How do you know where he is?"

"Literally all of us know where he is."

Krystal furrowed her eyebrows when Yoongi parked his car in front of a large gate. They both got out and he grabbed her by the wrist, pulling her with him.

"Wha-" Yoongi shushed her and kept on leading her to a certain spot.

"Let go!" Krystal screamed, tears running down her cheeks.

She tried to free herself from his grip, but his grasp around her wrist was too tight.

She felt trapped.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?" She screamed as he stopped walking.

Yoongi kneeled down and made a hole in the sand, pulling out a bunch of papers, standing up again.

"You tell me." He spat as he shoved the papers further into her chest.

Krystal fell on her knees, tears still running down her cheeks.

"I told you I saw him!" She screamed.

"Kryst-"

"No, I saw him." She wanted him to believe her.

He wanted to believe her too, but he knew the truth all too well.

"You need to take your medication." Yoongi whispered as he kneeled down next to her, pulling an orange bottle out of his pocket.

"How di-" Her eyes widened.

"Your doctor gave me an extra bottle, knowing you would end up like this." Yoongi briefly explained.

"Yoon- I- You- I saw him." She cried harder, crumbling the papers in her hands.

"Because you haven't been taking your medication, Krystal. Remember how you visited him and read him letters?" Yoongi's voice was low and smooth as he referred to the papers in her hands.

Krystal stared at the letters in her hands, then looked back at Yoongi.

"How do-"

"Jin told me. He told me he met you here and he fell in love with you through the letters you read." Yoongi sympathetically smiled at her, running his hand up and down her back. 

"I know I saw him." She whispered as her gaze lowered.

"Krystal, he's no longer here." Yoongi said as his eyes started to tear up.

"He left 7 years ago." He whispered as a tear slid down his cheek.

It hurt him to see Krystal sad and vulnerable.

Krystal had never seen Yoongi cry.

In fact, no one has ever seen Yoongi cry. He always shielded his feelings, but Krystal just guessed he had reached that point in life where bottling things up wasn't a choice anymore.
The problems he was facing had overcome his power of holding them in.

"Just take these, please." He begged as he handed her the bottle, but she only shook her head and backed away.

"You need them!" Yoongi screamed as he stood up, wiping away the tears, but that was of no use, for they fell one after the other.

"I don't!" Krystal was the one to scream and stand up this time.

"You need the pills, Krystal!"

"I need to see Taehyung." She whispered.

"I told you he left 7 years ago." He calmly told her, furrowing his eyebrows at the hideous truth.

"But he came back and now he's gone again." Krystal was furious.

"No, Krystal! He never came back."

Saying it out loud hurt Yoongi more than repeating it in his own head.

Yoongi probably missed Taehyung more than Krystal. Taehyung was his childhood best friend, but he had moved out of South Korea, leaving Yoongi all by himself to drown in loneliness and misery.

Yoongi envied Krystal for spending so much time with Taehyung. He saw his childhood best friend in her. Krystal was the female version of Taehyung and that killed Yoongi.

He didn't want a person that resembled Taehyung, he wanted Taehyung back more than anyone else did.

Sure, his love for Taehyung wasn't romantic, but he did love him with all his being. Taehyung was the only one that ever understood Yoongi and made him feel cared for, then came Krystal.

"Then where is he, huh? Where is he, Yoongi?" Krystal screamed, tears finally stopping.

Yoongi shook his head and stared at the lady that snatched his mind back into reality.

"Right here." He whispered as he pointed at the grave that lied next to them.
