ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤit was crystal clear to him that people are being too optimistic about everything. he hated that.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤit is what it is, he would say. min yoongi has no proper job, no family to come home to. negativity was his aura. his background. the word intensified in his resume. negative.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe decided to go to his special spot, where he conflicts about his life and be alone. his only comfort zone.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ'cause everything in the world seems to be uncomfortable.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤarriving the place, he sighed frustratingly as he sees a girl sitting on the bench. it was the third time he saw someone sitting in his place, and he always made them leave like he entirely owns the certain area in the park. he made his way over to the girl, hearing leaves crunching against his feet.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhesitantly, he reached out his hand to tap the girl's shoulder, but stopped when he heard faint sobs coming from her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe tried speaking, but failed miserably. only his mouth moving with no voice coming out.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyoongi wanted to make her leave badly. the girl was pouring out her drama in his spot.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyet he couldn't find the audacity to do it. she was shattered glass unwilling to fix itself.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"um, h-hey." he mumbles, his voice slightly shaking from not talking to anyone. he sat beside her hesitantly, minding a large gap.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthe girl pretended not to hear him, but shook her head. she was like a stubborn cat.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"okay." he whispers, leaning forward as he stared at the lake before them.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthe girl's breathing was short. distant, like at any second she could lose herself.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"why are you h-here?" the girl whispered, looking at the view in front of them.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"this is where i always go at this time." he answers.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthe girl nodded, her hair slightly bouncing against her shoulders.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤsilence made its way creeping against the two of them. yoongi looked over to her, noticing that she wore an oversized hoodie that hugged her bare thighs, a plaid skirt peeking out.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"have you ever thought of drowning there?" she gestured to the lake.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"no." yoongi's eyebrows creased. "i never did."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe nodded.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"have you?"
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe didn't answer, instead raising up her legs and hugging them as her chin rested on her knees.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤher face was exposed, making him look at her. she was pale, like snow in december. her lips were pink, but chapped. her eyes were puffed from crying, and it made him want to know why.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"why were you crying?" he found himself blurting out to her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe shook her head, not saying anything.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe understood that.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤwhy would she tell a stranger why she was struggling?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"i'm sorry," she sighed. "it's too personal. i-i'm sorry."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe nods. "i know."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"i'm sorry."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"stop saying sorry. it's not your fault."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"s-sorry." she shook her head, realizing she said it again. her hair shakened loosely when she shakes her head.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe chuckled dryly.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe looked at him, for the first time.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤyoongi let her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"is your hair natural?" she asked, attempting to lighten up the depressing mood.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe glanced at her and met his eyes with her brown ones.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"y-yeah." he stuttered, blaming himself for being nervous when their eyes meet.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤsilence made its way back to them as they just stared at each other, observing each other like it was the last thing that they will do.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe thought, what could she be thinking?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe was pessimistic, like him. at least, he thought so.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤbreaking his thoughts, the girl looked away and wiped her hands under her eyes.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhad she been crying this whole time?
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe stood up, dusting herself off. she looked down at him, who still stared at her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"ahjusshi," he heard her say. "i'll be g-going now..."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"it's yoongi." he said to her.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤshe perked up. "hm?"
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"that's my name," he stood up, standing in front of her as he shoved his hands in his pockets. "yoongi."
