Suga sat silently on Lonna's couch. His thoughts had him completely occupied. He was still feeling so angry.
Lonna sighed as she came back in the house. She didn't like seeing Suga acting the way he was. She knew he was regretting his actions and she didn't feel he needed to. She moved both cans of coffee in one hand as she sat beside him. "Why didn't you dry your hair? You'll catch a cold." She placed the cans on the table in front of him. "I got us some hot coffee. Are you still angry?"
Suga had avoided looking at Lonna. He quietly reached for one of the cans in front of him and popped the tab. He moved it in front of Lonna's nose. She smiled at his kind gesture and went to reach for the coffee, but before she could get it, Suga pulled it away and took a sip. Lonna was angry with herself for letting him trick her. "Were you afraid?" Suga finally spoke.
"Afraid?" Lonna asked.
"RM. Weren't you afraid he would hurt you?" Suga didn't look at her once, he just continued drinking the coffee.
"I wasn't thinking much. I just knew...I couldn't let you hurt each other." Suga finally looked at her.
"Idiot." Lonna felt guilty with the way he stared at her. She silently reached to the table and grabbed a towel, she started drying his hair for him. "It was good you were there. If it wasn't for you. Who knows what horrible things I would have done to him." In frustration, Suga pushed the towel away from him and stood up from the couch. "Don't mind me...I'm just really pissed at myself."
Lonna recalled Jin's words. 'For someone his age to already be so mature. It quite unbelievable.' Lonna could see Suga feelings as he leaned against the door that led to the balcony. 'He helps people with their pain, and then blames himself for that pain. Maybe... he's a person that cares alot for others...but hates himself.'
RM's POV
RM sat beside Jisoo, who was hesitant to speak, but knew she had too. "It's true...why do that for a smile? Was it worth it?" The question RM had asked her ran through her mind. She had now realized what he had meant by it. It made her feel guilty.
RM looked over at Jisoo, the tears running down her face caught him by surprise. "Fool..." She managed to say through her tears. "You're the biggest fool."
"Jisoo, I..."
"I always considered Lonna with her honesty and naive personality to be the stupidest person in the world. I hate those kind of saintly girls the most. I hate them!" The lecture Lonna had given her came to mind. "She isn't close to me...yet she chastised me like she cared. How can such concern come out so naturally?"
RM could understand what Jisoo was feeling. "Same thing with her forgiveness...so sincere it made me mad."
"Everytime I see her. I only see my own ugliness. I don't deserve Suga."
"That's not true!" RM tried to interrupt her.
"On the surface I hate her, but really I envy her. Not for her innocence that attracted Suga, I envy her honesty towards others, and herself. I'm just scared to admit it. I'm so scared to face myself." RM instantly grabbed her hands in his.
"Jisoo, you're beautiful." He said scooting closer to her. Jisoo looked from his hands holding hers to him.
"What are you saying?"
RM knew now what Lonna had meant. He knew what Jisoo needed. He swallowed hard before talking. "Lonna was right, don't hurt yourself anymore. If you don't learn to love yourself, how can you love others." Jisoo quietly stared at RM while he talked. "I will try." He reached out and pulled Jisoo into a hug. The look of shock didn't stay long on her face as she melted against him. "You will too."
RM smiled widely at holding her in his arms. This was something he had always wanted, and thanks to Lonna it was now in him to do it. Little did he know, the girl he was hugging, was smiling just as big.
Lonna's POV
Lonna couldn't take Suga acting like this anymore. She got up from the couch and walked next to him. "Suga. Everyone likes you."
"What did you say?" Lonna instantly regretted trying to help.
"What? Nothing." She said trying to take back her words. She knew she had said the wrong thing. She tried to walk away, but Suga grabbed her and pulled her against him.
"I heard it, so don't try to change the subject." Lonna could feel her heart race with the way he looked at her. His features were gentle and his closeness made her whole body tingle. "When you say everyone likes me, who is everyone?"
Lonna pulled her hand up between them. "Hmm, RM, Jisoo." She pulled up a finger for each name.
"Two people, is not everyone." Suga interrupted.
"And... Taehyung, J-hope, and uncle."
"There's one missing." Suga said as he pulled Lonna closer to him. "You've finished counting with your left hand, and I still haven't heard the name. So let me see who likes me on the right hand." Suga could feel his own heart speed up as Lonna bit her lip out of nervousness.
Lonna closed her eyes and willed herself not to be a coward. With her eyes still closed she raised her whole right arm in the air, as if she was waiting for the teacher to call on her. Suga was a bit taken back with her action. "Here. Me too. Me, Lonna likes Suga!"
Still scared she finally opened her eyes and looked up at Suga. Once their eyes met, he burst out laughing. "So funny. It's the first time I have seen someone raise their hand for a confession."
"You're mean. I shouldn't have said it." Lonna felt stupid for being lured into a trap by him again. He was only trying to tease her again. In her sadness she started to let her arm drop.
Suga instantly grabbed her wrist in his hand and pulled her arm back up. The look on his face was like the one he had when Lonna was treating his hand. Lonna's breath caught in her throat as his hand slowly moved to interlock with hers. They both now stood with their hands raised. Suga smiled sweetly at her. "Don't be mad Lonna."
After saying those words, Suga pulled Lonna tightly against him. One arm hugged her as he used their interlocked hands to keep her arm around him. "You're like makes me happiest." They stood happily hugging each other as Suga smiled widely. Neither one wanted to move.
