An Analogous Universe

Chapter 26

Jin sent Yoongi forcefully to take care of Rie with the excuse of being too tired to do that himself. He had to force the young one, to make him finally realize what he was doing and that it would only hurt themselves, if not more. He needed his roommate understand to open up, to someone he can trust. But if Yoongi decides to not trust the person, it will be of no good.

As for telling Aera about their pasts, it has been planned significantly. As for Yoongi, Taehyung will help. The only thing he has to do is, remember. Taehyung would cast it as a dream in Aera's mind when she is asleep.

Only if things could be as easy as that. Things were difficult from the start for Yoongi and he still needs guidance of the older.

On the other side, Jin let his mind wander off to someone else. Someone he thought of just as Yoongi thought about Rie. But the elder's mindset was not like Yoongi. He was determined on winning the heart of his not-for-long crush. Only if he could change Yoongi's mind as his, it would've been easier for the younger to accomplish his goal.

But, Jin, himself hasn't been doing good with her. He can't help her much. He cant get close to her. But he understands her. She doesn't want the past to repeat, it would be much painful for her. And Jin understood that.

The most she will let him get close to her is, letting him chop onions beside her. The length between them leaving a one scale gap. She wouldn't let herself open up. The most she let him know was, she doesn't want any relationship with anyone, even If it's the most trustful person in the world. She couldn't give her trust to anyone, after what she has witnessed. She never thought about giving it another chance. If she would've, Jin wouldn't have to struggle so much. But she won't, that was her rule.

The remaining of the day passed by like a gush of wind. There were no exchanging of words between the two youngers. Aera and Taehyung's bond was growing more and more as the times passed. They would have fun, exchange looks as well as staring into each other's eyes. It was a little intimidating for Taehyung as he would think about Aera. What if she gets taken as well? All of my loved ones were gone. What if she cant defeat the general? But just then and there he would think of the contradictory.

Rie wasn't able to calculate just how she came in her bed with medicines and a bowl with a wet clothe dipped in it, was placed beside her, on the table. Since Yoongi has left the room early, just after Aera did, after placing a gentle kiss on Rie's forehead, he was ready to go. To the bathroom. Not being able to talk or see him the whole day, Rie's insides broke. She could go to the bathroom with the excuse of peeing and could let her feelings loose, silently. But she thought that was what the weaks would do, so she did it only once.

Eventually, Diena found out in the evening. Not seeing her sister since tomorrow wasn't positive for her, although she was told Rie came home safely. She can't let her curiosity drown within herself and she was determined to find out, whatever she says, Rie is her sister and she loves her sister.

But she chose not to scold or yell at her sister, instead she chose to yell at the one who lied. Jin. But she couldn't bear the sadness in his eyes as she shut herself up after yelling once. After living with all of them, she has grown a soft spot for all of them and she would lie if she said, Jin's actions didn't confuse her. She knew by herself that she wouldn't dare trust anyone else but the gentleman was breaking the walls. And she didn't like that. She wouldn't let herself fall for anyone again.

But she doubts that it would be possible.

The day went well just like that. And soon enough it would be the start of another day in a shining manner. They decided to visit Namjoon's favourite coffee shop that he always goes to whenever he feels like it. As he said, it was very calm and the mesmerizing smell wouldn't let you keep your money with yourself, they all were excited to go. Maybe, Rie wasn't. She doesn't want to go out anymore. she doesn't want to see James. She wouldn't mind Yoongi but she was not sure if he would mind her or not.
