After Samuel left, Yoongi came back. He sat next to me and gave me a look to stop crying. "Let's get you back to the city." He suggested. I nodded but something caught my eyes. It was a jade ring on his hand. It's probably the breach ring Samuel's talking about.

It all depends on you...

Those words kept running in my head as I followed Yoongi out. "Are you okay?" he asked as we stepped in the taxi. I forced a smile and just shook my head. He probably ignored me because he knew I needed some space. The sun has completely rose when we got in front of my hotel. "Take care Seo Eun ah, just call me if you need anything." he said.

I just nodded. "Thanks. Let's meet up and talk about it sometime." He nodded as his taxi drove off into distance. I sighed at the thought of betraying Yoongi. He even broke his own rule to help me and I just couldn't do that to him. I got up to my room and prepared for shower. It felt like Samuel was still beside me. His voice, his scent, his smiles... everything seemed to be still there.

I stepped into the shower as hot water sprung on me. 

It all depends on you...

It all depends on you...

It all depends on you...

I punched the wall to shut off the thoughts inside me. But still... I missed him. I needed him. The past years without him has been hell. Every night, I prayed him to visit my dreams and he never did. Finally I get to touch him, hug him, kiss him... how could I not do anything to get more of it. I love him. And that is why I'll have to be selfish.

...

(A few days later)

I decided to call Yoongi since I haven't properly thank him for helping me. Well of course, I had another aim secretly. I was waiting in the cafe across my hotel. "Seo Eun ah!" Yoongi entered the cafe with a smile on his face. I just smiled back. 

"Thank you so much for helping me. I was so much in shock that I needed some space alone." I explained. "I don't know what I would do without you."

He gave me a tiny grin and sipped his Iced Americano. "Perhaps are you going back to Korea?" he asked. My grip on my coffee cup tightened. "I think I'll stay a few more weeks." I answered. I could tell he was suspicious just by this sharp eyes that studied every movement of mine. I just glued my eyes to the ground.

"I don't see why the ground is suddenly so interesting but we're having a small party tomorrow at the bar. Maybe you and Athena can drop by." he offered. I knew it was a chance to steal the ring so I agreed. "Sure, I'll call Athena later."

Silence replaced the atmosphere as Yoongi nonchalantly enjoyed his coffee while I couldn't stop worrying if I'll screw up everything. "Are you free today?" he suddenly asked. I jumped at his question, almost dropping my coffee cup. "Tsk, you seemed nervous today. Everything alright?" concern filling his voice.

"N-no. It's just... I'll now need to adjust a life without him." I sighed. I hated myself for lying. And it's worse when I'm lying to the person who broke his rules and helped me. Yoongi nodded in agreement, "I hope you are ready to live a new life soon." I couldn't help myself but to feel even guiltier at his sincerity. 

...

(The next day - party)

I was sitting next to Athena while the jazz music blended into the thick atmosphere. The only light came from dim neon lights on the ceiling. Yoongi was talking to the bar tender while I was busy thinking of a way to get the ring.

"I heard you're ready to move on." Athena flashed a motherly smile. "Not exactly ready," I pursed my lips. "Just trying to." she gave me a look that showed her disappointment. "After all AD broke his rules for you?" she whispered. I sighed. "I know I owe him."

"If you do, go out with him." she smirked. "What?" I blurted. "You heard me right, go out with him. He obviously likes you. Otherwise, he's not stupid enough to help you. I heard you had to promise him that you'll move on afterwards." Athena complained. "I did, but that doesn't mean I have to-" but we were interrupted when Yoongi sat down in front of me.

"Did I interrupt anything?" he said while fixing his gaze on me. "We were just talking about you." Athena darted a flirty look. "Athena." I whispered and hit her arm. "Seo Eun wants to go out on a date with you." Athena stated. "No I didn't!" I defended. "Yes she did, AD." Athena tossed down the last bit of her tequila and stood up. "She's all yours." Then Athena went to hit on some other guy at the bar.

"I did not say that." I clarified, causing Yoongi to laugh. "I know you didn't. Even if you felt that way, you wouldn't say anything. Because in your heart, there's still space for him." he ruffled his hair in stress. I could tell he was already drunk. He was swaying and couldn't balance himself properly.

 "I-I'll get you home. I think you're drunk." I muttered, seizing a good chance to be with him. "Really?" his voice filled with hope of a seven year old. I suppressed my guilt and nodded. "Rich to see AD with a girl." the bar tender whispered loud enough for you to hear on the way to exit. I just pretended like I didn't heard anything.

(At Yoongi's house)

I placed him on the bed and tucked him into his sheets. "Why... why... do I have those powers but can not even win her heart." Yoongi weakly mumbled. I took a deep breath and sat on his bed while brushing his hair softly. 

I'm really sorry, Yoongi... for everything. I'll repay all this debt next life.

I slowly slid off the ring out of his hand without waking him from his sleep. I took a deep breath and gestured the ring into a circular motion. A small hole appreared out of thin air as it grows bigger and bigger. Soon, a leg stepped out of it. It was Samuel.

He grabbed the ring from me, instantly closing the breach. "Oh my god." I cried. He quickly pulled me out of Yoongi's room. "We have to leave." he was panting. "Now?" I asked. He sighed and nodded reluctantly. "It's now or never."

I didn't hesitate to follow Samuel out... because I loved him... and there is nothing else in the this world I wouldn't do when it comes to him.
