For You

* Chapter Twenty-One

 'Can I ask why?' Jonghyun spoke up, breaking the odd silence that had collected around them. His fingers clutched Yoongi's resignation letter, his eyes staring right into the younger male, confused. Yoongi nodded, biting his thumb nail.

'I don't deserve to work for you now. I broke your trust and work code.' He was being genuinely honest. He didn't feel comfortable working for Jonghyun knowing that'd he'd broken a code of conduct. Didn't sit right with him.

'Oh,' Jonghyun didn't say anything for a while, just set the paper down and turned his attention to Yoongi properly. He folded his hands on his desk and his eyebrows were drawn. Under his gaze, I feel like a child being scolded.

After the Hoseok situation a few days ago, Yoongi finally worked up the courage to quit work. He didn't want to have that guilt hanging over his head, knowing he'd broke the one promise he was supposed to keep as an employee.

So Yoongi decided that resigning from his job was the best option. He'd thought that Jonghyun would've been happy, not confused. Yet, the way Jonghyun's eyebrows were creased and how the cogs in his head were turning, Yoongi couldn't help but feel confused himself.

'Do you really have to go?' Jonghyun sighed before continuing on, 'don't tell anyone I said this but, you're my favourite employee.' Yoongi couldn't help but feel quite touched yet confused (again). I'm his favourite? What the fuck?

'I'm sorry sir.' His heart was doing this weird thing and suddenly, he was regretting his decision. It's for the best. He kept telling himself that, a broken mantra.

With a small nod, Jonghyun continued, 'its fine. Do you have anywhere else to go? Is there another job you've got?'

'No. Not yet. I've been a bit sick and had stuff going on.' The expression that crossed his face, Yoongi knew that his boss was told about his lack of sleep.

'I hope you find somewhere soon, then. And good luck, Yoongi,' Suddenly, Yoongi found himself in the embrace of his former boss. His hands came to rest on Jonghyun's shoulder, almost hesitantly. 'Please look after yourself, okay? Don't hesitate to give me a call if you need a job or something. I can always put in a good word if you need it. We're gonna miss you.'

'Thank you so much Jonghyun. For everything these last few years.' With one final goodbye, Yoongi was exiting the office only to be faced with a teary-eyed Mina and sad expressions of his fellow employees.

'It's been nice working alongside you, Yoongi.' Minho stepped forward, a huge grin on his face. He clapped Yoongi on the shoulder and suddenly Yoongi felt overwhelmed. And a little guilty. They're sad to see you go and you couldn't even bother to learn half their names. Fucking dumbass.

'Good luck! Please don't forget to drop by sometime!' A girl (once again Yoongi felt like shit for not remembering her name) called from the back. Her hands were raised above her head in thumbs up.

Yoongi placed a hand over his heart as Mina appeared (he hadn't even noticed she'd gone) rolling a small tray out, a cake on top.

'We were told by Mina about your resignation yesterday so we got busy making a cake for you last night.' Minho informed him and Yoongi couldn't help the small tears that escaped his eyes. They did this for me? He wiped

Written on top of the cake in fancy writing was we'll miss you, Yoongi. Flowers decorated the edges of the cake and sprinkles covered every inch of the white icing.

'I'm truly touched. Thank you.' He whispered, glancing around the room. Mina suddenly pulled him into a tight hug, her wet face soaking his shirt, not that he cared.
