Min Yoongi // Took the Fall

➼ 19

  『ʏᴏᴏɴɢɪ's ᴘᴏᴠ』  

"Yoongi-hyung, why are you outside?"

I turned around to meet the voice of the owner, who was none other than the maknae of the group, Jungkook. Beside him stood Taehyung and Jimin, also wondering why I decided to step out on the fun that was happening inside.

"It's too loud." I muttered, suddenly finding the ceiling interesting.

"Well, congratulations on the play." Jimin speaks up, giving me a smile.

"You were pretty cool, hyung!" Taehyung chimed in, throwing fists into the air.

"Thanks." Was all I uttered, scoffing slightly.

I honestly appreciated the juniors for cheering me up, but I was in such a terrible mood to thank them properly. If I wasn't like this, I probably would have even treated them out for some lamb skewers.

The three younger males excused themselves as they headed for the door, opening it. All three heads peeked in, but it was enough for me to hear the conversations exchanged. In an instant, I could hear cheering and the boys were lounging inside the room along with the rest of the crew.

I sighed, cursing my pride. I really want to go back in there and sing my heart out no matter how out of tune I might be. Whatever the reason is, I'm confused. Since when have I been so conscious of being around the dimwit?

The next thing I know, the instrumental starts playing and I was left to wonder who could she be possibly sharing the song with. I could only lean back against the wall in frustration, straining myself to listen to the lyrics and to the voices.

I am tired of this place, I hope people change 
I need time to replace what I gave away 
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small
Though I try to resist I still want it all

And I instantly recognized who it was, Jungkook.

I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it's my mistake  

And that voice, who else could it be? Her.

Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall  

I closed my eyes as I took in the sound of their voices. It was a beautiful harmonization, but why does it feel like she's reaching out to me by singing this song? 

Only fools, huh?

And as they sang the song, their voices sounded so angelic.

Yet so sad to hear.

So sad to fathom.

Oh, our lives don't collide, I'm aware of this
We've got differences and impulses and your obsession with it
The little things you like stick, now like aerosol
Don't give a-

"(f/n)!"

My eyes shot open at the sound of her name being desperately called out in what seemed to be a tone of worry.

My fists clenched.

Will I lower my pride to see if she's okay?

Or will I keep putting up with this drastic wall and steer clear of further trouble?

Before I could even think about it, my hand was already on the handle.

"A-Ah, I'm so sorry, guys!" She smiles.

I could see her figure a tad from where I stood, the small window directly towards her. I thought I was ready to open up to a new me and stop being like a coward, but I guess not.

"What's wrong, (f/n)?" 

I looked up to see her wiping away her tears, faking a chuckle as she did. However, all eyes were on her and everyone was clearly worried about her. So was I.

"I-I couldn't help but think of someone."

"Wah, noona. Is there someone you've been crushing on?" Taehyung asks, obviously curious.

"Yeah, you haven't mentioned anything about a crush!" Chaeyeon presses.

"So, who is it?" Sumin speaks up.

"Could he be from our class?" Jin butts in.

You shook your head at their reactions, finding to see them debating about the possible candidates of your so-called crush.

"Calm down, fools. It's probably nothing." You giggle.

"What do you mean nothing?" Namjoon asks, raising an eyebrow at you.

"So, were you just caught up in the moment or something?" Jimin asks.

"I guess you could say that."

Immediately, the whole room let out groans at your response. You stifled a laugh, but felt a bit guilty at the same time for getting their hopes up. In the end, you all laughed it off.

The laughter eventually died down and you all heard the sound of a door creaking. You immediately knew who was going to be on the other side, and you honestly didn't want to face him.

"Hyung, how about you rap next?" Hobi asks the male as he entered.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. I just came to get my things."

You didn't know why, but you felt like you were forced to meet his eyes. Looking up at him, you noticed nothing wrong with him. In fact, he looked pretty much the same to you.

Yoongi had this feeling that an intense stare was sent his way, and his eyes landed on you.

And that's when you noticed.

Sad eyes.

"Are you sure you're okay going home alone? I could drive you home." Jin speaks up, worried about his friend.

"I'm fine, hyung." Yoongi replied, breaking eye contact with you.

No one was given a chance to speak. For a second, Yoongi was already out the door with his things and the room was left in silence. You couldn't help but fidget in your seat, knowing that no matter how small or big, you played a part in his surprising behavior.

"S-So, who wants to go next?" Chaeyeon stutters, trying to enlighten the mood.

You sighed, slowly raising your hand. All eyes fell on you, who looked a bit nervous. Chaeyeon shrugged it off, smiling at you as she handed the microphone over. You gulped as you waited for the song.

Seconds later, the instrumental started to play. You sucked in a deep breath, careful not to let your emotions get the best of you. Then, you softly sung along to the lyrics.

You with the sad eyes,
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize it's
Hard to take courage

You took the moment and sang with your heart, unaware that the people around you were moved by your voice. You were into the song that you forgot about the audience that surrounded you.

Your mind was focused on one thing.

And that one thing was undeniably, him.
