La Douleur Exquise || Min Yoongi

Chapter 16

A/N: Here's the promised double update 😊 Honestly, I've had a streak of creativity going again so I'm almost done with the next chapter as well. Might just post that too. We'll see but for now - enjoy! 💖💖

Taehyung rushed into your shared apartment, almost taking the front door straight off its hinges, making a beeline to your room.

Taehyung: "Y/N!" he burst in not even bothering to knock.

Relief was more than evident on his face when he spotted your small figure leaning on the far side of the bed. He sighed and quietly made his way to you, carefully sitting beside you.

Taehyung: "Y/N?" gently, he took your hand in his, intertwining your fingers "Sweetheart, what happened? Why weren't you answering my calls?"

You didn't answer, nor did you even look at him. This time it wasn't about fearing his reaction. No, this time you were too ashamed to look your best friend in the eyes when all along he'd been warning you how wrong things could go and every time you ignored him, not realizing it was for your own good. For what - love? At this point you weren't sure if you knew what that was. That was... until Taehyung lifted your head, turning it towards him, and you looked in his eyes.

In all honesty, he didn't seem that shocked to see you like this and you realized just how far you had allowed this incessant crush of yours to go. For a very long time now this broken shell of a she-wolf was your constant state. How the boy managed to stand by your side without at least slapping you, was a mystery. Once again you realized how much he cared for you. Too much, certainly more than you deserved.

Taehyung: "What did he do now?" he asked quietly, already thinking of a way to make you feel better but you didn't have the strength to answer so you just handed him your phone - he'd understand.

Without a word, the wolf took the device and switched it on - he'd seen you use it too many times so the password wasn't an issue. Taehyung opened the last tab you looked at, clicking on the video. Never had you seen someone's eyes go as comically wide, making him look like a real life anime character - his ashy grey hair certainly adding to that effect.

Taehyung: "WHAT THE FUCK?!" he yelled with a disgusted expression, one that turned to appalling afterwards "This can't be hyung's doing! He's a lot of things but this is too low... even for him!"

The laugh you let out was devoid of humor - there was no better way to express the fact you were doubting the truth of those words. The number wasn't his, you'd give him that, but there was no way he couldn't have seen that camera. It even looked like it fueled his vigor. Add that to the fact it was no secret you and Leila never really got along and it should have been enough for him to think twice about what the omega could do with the footage, yet did nothing to stop her. Well, at least you figured it was Leila sending you her handy work - she was the only other person in the video so it was only logical.

Taehyung: "It's probably that bitch trying to mess with you" the boy spat out, confirming your own suspicions "I swear, if I see her, I will..."

Y/N: "Stop, Tae" you snatched your phone from his grip before be managed to crush it and threw it on the bed "I can't handle this anymore."

Taehyung: "What do you mean?"

It wasn't the meaning of the words themselves, rather than asking for affirmation that he understood correctly. The wolf really hoped he did because it was getting too much for him as well, although he'd never admit that out loud.

Y/N: "I can't do this anymore, Tae" you cried out, burying your face in your hands "I can't keep thinking about him and feeling the way I do when he obviously doesn't care. I'm tired of being hurt, of crying of pretending to be okay when all I want to do is carve my heart out, with the sharpest knife I can find, just so the pain will stop! I can't take it..."
