Chapter 19: Sorry isn't enough

The beeping of an alarm that wasn't mine caused me to peel open my eyes to the morning. The presence of weight around my waist and I trailed my eyes back behind me to see Yoongi awaking slowly. He removed his arm, the security fading instantly to rub his eyes, his hair ruffled and messy from sleeping.

Last night he had taken me upstairs quietly and given me another of his tops to wear as pyjamas. The shirt grazed my lower thighs and was extremely soft. I was surprised when he told me to get into his bed and that he lay beside me but his presence was far from unwelcome; it wasn't like we hadn't slept next to each other before.

Despite wanting to lie there forever, I got up before Yoongs; I had to talk to Izzy.

I stole some of his jeans that didn't really fit me but they'd do and a jumper before tying my hair up and making my way downstairs to say my thanks to everyone and get going. But as I entered the living room, there on the sofa was Jimin. And Izzy. Kissing. I froze my body and mind unresponsive from shock. How the fuck was I going to get out of this?

Doubtlessly, Jimin supported Izzy and greatly disliked the choices I had made over the last month due to the effect that they had on her. At any second they could pull away and see me. Where the fuck were the others?! It was like 11am. I felt my knees begin to buckle from fear Izzy must hate me, fuck, fuck, fuck; I'm such a bad friend.

I leant heavily against the wall, empty and drained, wanting to cry but only whispers of whimpers escaping my lips. Suddenly the front door was flung open and J-Hope bounded in, closely followed by the maknae, alien, eomma and appa who all screeched at the sight of their mochi's raunchy behaviour.

"Sorry," a low voice sounded in my ear, hot breath tickling my neck as an hand rested in the small of my back, "you didn't give me a chance to tell you."

I turned to the rapper and rested my head on his chest, my arms hanging loosely by my sides, "What do I do?" I murmurmed, not particularly to him. He patted my head lightly, "Engage distraction..." he paused, his eyes trained on the scene playing out a few feet away, "now."

"Come on Jiminie," I heard Namjoon speaking, "me, you and Yoongi have to discuss your personal concept for the next album on video call with Bang Pd nim"

"You've got this," Yoongi whispered, planting a quick kiss on my cheek bone before strolling into the room, "You called?" He spoke, his voice calm and confident. Even from across the room I could see him now react to Izzy and Jimin on the sofa in public, he rolled his eyes, grabbing Chim Chim by the collar of his shirt.

"If she loves you she'll forgive you from being away from her for work." He said not so subtly, giving me my chance to roll my eyes.

He winked at me as he dragged Jimin off, his tongue sliding over his lips as he likely got lost in thought.

I sighed and took a deep breath waiting a few moments before walking into the room. At the sound of my footsteps Izzy turned to look at me... "...hey" I said, my voice trembling slightly.

"Hi." Gingerly, I sat beside my friend, my heart beating loudly in the awkward silence. "I'm sorry..." I breathed, the words starting to spill from me, "I treated you like shit when all you ever did was care for me..." I trailed off as she looked at me.

"I get it, the boys told Jimin who told me... you had a lot on your hands... I know how much this job means to you..." she ground to a halt looking away, "I just wish you had told me, we're meant to be best friends..."

My vision grew blurry with the tears of my mistakes. "...I forgive you, I did as soon as I heard... but that doesn't mean I'm not hurt..." There was nothing that anyone could have done to have stopped the pools of water overflowing and spilling down my face. I pulled her into an embrace, to feel her body shake with a sob and we sat in a hug for several minutes, holding each other up.

After I had stopped crying and her breathing slowed I spoke; "You totally fucked Jimin didn't you?"
