Again | V x Reader

Caution: Spoilers ahead

It seemed impossible. After Rika left, his lies were so empty. Nobody questioned him. Everyone gave their full trust in him.

"V." You asked quietly and he looked over at you.

"Hmmm?" He hummed and you smiled softly.

"It's okay." You mumbled before setting your hands on his.

"What?" He looked at your through his black sunglasses and you sighed.

"You're hurt." You said softly.

It's been over a year. No sign of Rika coming to her senses. No sign of being able to bring her back to the RFA. He couldn't move on though. He still loved her with every living fiber of him.

"It's okay to cry." You said when you widened your eyes at the shock.

He didn't wait long after to cry. Cry so hard. You took his head in your hands and stood up quickly. You stuffed his head in your chest before he clutched your dress.

"I know. I know the truth. It's okay. I won't tell them." You mumbled softly and stroked his hair.

"I don't want to lose her [y/n]. I am so scared that will happen."

It pained you to see him like this. Always holding on to her. Loving her no matter how much she hurt him.

You loved Rika also. You loved her bright smile that always reassured anyone who had doubts.

"V. I'll help you get her back."

V stopped and looked up at you and you smiled brightly.

"I'll help. I'll be your eyes for you. I'll do it. I promise."

He shook his head softly and your face soften in disappointment.

"Please. Let me help you." You took his sunglasses off his face and kissed the bridge of his nose softly. "Please. V stop hiding from me. I'll help you bring Rika back. I already know the entire truth."

He shook his head more and grabbed your wrists. You understood his gesture and stopped. He looked down in his lap while clutching your wrists, like a small child onto its mother's apron.

"[y/n]. Please understand."

"I do. I'll wait for you V."

It's been like that this past year. Dashed cycles of hopes only to be lost when something that reminded him of Rika came up.

You bowed slightly before allowing him his privacy. You shut the door softly before bolting down the stairs. Your eyes could no longer hold in all the pain. As you ran down the stairs, you rubbed your eyes as the tears streamed down your face. You sat in your car, key in the ignition, and your head on the wheel. You stared out the window silently before breaking down more. Your hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as your knuckles were white.

"Stupid! You stupid moron! Dammit!" You screamed at yourself when you rubbed your eyes. "I'm sorry V."

-

You fell to the ground as Yoosung crouched to rub your back. It was a melancholy ceremony. They all told you it was to celebrate his life. It was cut short though. You hated that.

"V isn't gone. He always lives in your heart." One woman said and set her hand on your shoulder.

"I want him alive! I want his physical presence! It isn't the same! It... it isn't the same." You ripped your shoulder from her grip and cried more.

"[y/n]..." Jumin said sympathetically and you rubbed your eyes.

The entire time is was you breaking down. Rika stood there quietly and everyone else just looked upon you, pity was filled in their eyes.

Everyone left a few hours later but you, Yoosung, and Rika stayed behind.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry Rika. I'm sorry I couldn't save him. Rika I am so so sorry." You cried as she stood there silently.

Your hair fell over your eyes before the sun peered upon Rika.

"Rika." Yoosung looked up at her and she walked away.

"Go to her. I'll be okay." You mumbled and he chased after his cousin.

You looked up at the stone that stood in place of V. Your eyes continued to shed tears but you were no longer aware. You never knew how much your heart would physically ache until he was actually gone.

"I'm sorry I failed you." You pressed your lips against the framed photo of him and bit your bottom lip afterwards. "Thank you V. Thank you. Thank you for allowing me in your life. You were somebody. A famous photographer. Yet I was a nobody. Thank you for allowing me to meet all the members of the RFA. Thank you V. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for everything."

Your breath soon started to fog against the glass of the photo and you hugged it against your chest tightly.

"Thank you. Jihyun Kim. I love you."
