La Douleur Exquise || Min Yoongi

Chapter 22

A/N: Like I said, I'm posting all the chapters at once but I think this is easier for you guys. Enjoy!

It took Taehyung, Jungkook, Hoseok and all of the pack's omegas two days to get you to stop crying and another one to get you out of bed and into a park for some fresh air. Truthfully, you really had no desire to leave the safety and conform of your bed and your best friend's embrace but your pack members were so insistent, going out was a better option than constantly hearing them nag about the situation. Tae knew you didn't want to go out but after getting reprimanded multiple times by your cousin and the Luna, all he could do was give you a sympathetic look in assurance he'd be right there by your side.

Jungkook: "Noona, do you want some ice cream?" the maknae cooed, ears perked as his nose caught a whiff of the fresh blended cookies and cream mix.

Y/N: "Thanks Kookie, but I'm not hungry."

Hoseok: "Well, how about a strawberry milkshake - you've always loved those" his smile was wide and hopeful but you only winced at the memory of sharing countless of those shakes with a certain alpha you'd rather not think about right now.

Y/N: "No, Hobi, I'm good."

Hoseok: "Then maybe..."

Nikki: "Ok you two, enough! Let Y/N breathe for the love of god!" you sent the Luna a grateful smile and she gave you one back, ushering the others towards the ice cream truck, leaving you and Taehyung alone.

Their efforts were appreciated - really, they were, but all this attention was too much. Right now your only wish was to curl up in a ball of self-pity and drown in your misery. Dramatic, sure, but that was how you felt and no amount of pampering, ice cream or attention could fix it. You were broken and just needed time to pull your pieces together and move on. You'd had enough experience in that with Yoongi, it shouldn't be any different this time around with Vincent. Unwittingly, your lips pursed at those thoughts. Taehyung must have noticed because his hand immediately came around your shoulders to pull you in for a tight side hug.

Taehyung: "I'm here, sweetheart" his voice always calmed you down but strangely enough - it had the opposite effect this time; whether it was the term of endearment, which was one of Vincent's favourites, or the new cologne he'd bought, that oddly reminded you of the alpha who'd stolen your heart and crushed it, you weren't sure - all you knew was that you didn't want to be here.

Y/N: "I'm sorry, Tae, I can't do this. I just want to be alone right now."

It was hard saying it but it was the right thing for you. Taehyung understood, of course he did. If there was anyone who would, it was him. The reassuring smile he gave you had your chest flooding with warmth and the quick kiss on the cheek called the first genuine smile to your face since your dreaded birthday party. The boy winked before moving away to join the others, bickering over ice cream flavors. Silently, you turned on your heel and walked the opposite way, no particular direction in mind.

Jungkook: "Hey, where did Y/N go?" the youngest grew alarmed at your absence but his hyung was quick to put him at ease.

Taehyung: "Let her go, kid. She needs to be alone right now."

After what felt like minutes, when it was actually hours of mindless walking around, you finally made your way back to the apartment. The walk did you good. It couldn't compare to a run, which was what your inner wolf really ached for, but hopefully you'd be able to fall into a dreamless slumber now that some of your pent up frustration was somewhat gone.
