The Way We Speak Through Music

Chapter 10

Yoongi's flashback

Why won't she answer my calls? I tried coming over but the doors are locked and no one's opening. I hope her window is unlocked or opened, it usually is because she likes fresh air. I climbed the tree at the back side of their enormous house and carefully walked over a branch, strong enough to hold my weight. Lights are off but I'm sure she's inside, otherwise the window wouldn't be opened. Transparent curtains moved with the wind, revealing a tiny pale figure glowing in the dark corner of the room. She's pulling on the strings so softly like they're capable of breaking easily and the music is meant only for her. Oh, Y/N's singing

When today is over

It feels like tomorrow will be different

Will I be able to go on without you

Goodbye... goodbye...

I jumped on the windowsill and entered her room. Without any words, I sat on the floor and waited for her to choose when she's ready to talk

"She's gone"

"I'm sorry"

"They didn't let me attend my grandma's funeral"

"I don't know what to say"

"It's enough that you're here for me. Music will speak for us", and so she continued to sing and play the guitar while I hugged her from behind and rested my head on her shoulder

"What happened to your violin?"

"Dad hit the wall with it. But it's okay, I forgive him", hearing that broke my heart. It's the first and only time in my life that I am on the verge of crying. I tightened the hug in hopes it will heal the wounds and put all the shattered pieces inside her together

"Just stay with me, I'll protect you, I promise", I whispered softly in her ear

The next thing I know, my parents decided to move back to Daegu but I couldn't leave Y/N behind due to the promise. We got into a fight and I stayed in a dorm in Seoul, then I found a job and now I'm sharing a cosy apartment with my friend, Jungkook. At first I was lonely and depressed without my parents' support and being socially awkward. Y/N was there for me the whole time and helped me befriend some high school dorks who are now my family. All that time I was overprotective of her, jealous when she'd hang out with someone else, and when we got into a certain age I started teasing her. I didn't realize why, it just seemed natural being so close to her and Y/N seemed to like it too. 

Who would've thought that few years later we'd be sitting in a field in Daegu and watching the Lantern festival

"I just realized something"

"What is it?"

"I'll tell you later... someday... maybe"

"Oppa you're teasing me again!"

I'm in love with Y/N

What should I do about it?

Yoongi's POV

"Oppa, wake up"

"Five more minutes"

"Whatever"

"Nooo", I whined when Y/N broke out of my embrace and left the bed. At least I get the bed for myself now. I was about to continue with my sleep but she threw clothes at me and started nervously

"Come on, they're waiting for us"

"Why don't you dress me up?"

"Put on clothes or I'll slap you"
