"What do you want from me?", Rose asked dismissively. Her muscles were tense and her fists clenched, otherwise she wouldn't be able to control her anger. "What I want from you? You haven't talked to me for months, Rose. I miss you."

She looked him in the eyes, then looked at his brown curls with which she had loved to play as a child. "I have nothing to tell you, so why talking?"

He sighed deeply and sank into his chair. She wanted to meet in a cafe so that she had the opportunity to go at any time without him being able to stop her. "Damn it, don't be like that to me."

"You don't deserve anything else, Noah. You betrayed me."

He nodded slowly, knowing he couldn't argue. "Everything I did, I did for you. I just wanted to protect you. You're my little sister."

Rose rolled her eyes, this excuse was nothing new and she was getting bored of it. She decided to let the one topic rest and focus on something else important. "Did you also want to protect me when you were dating my best friend behind my back and demanding he won't tell me? What was that good for?"

Noah's eyes widened in shock and he bit his lip, clearly feeling caught. "So he told you, that idiot."

"Yoongi isn't the idiot, it's you! How could you keep that from me and why? Did I make you feel I wouldn't love and accept you as you are?"

A strong shake of his head came as an answer. "That's not it. It wasn't that I'm gay."

"What then?"

"I'm three years older than you and Yoongi. At the time I was 20 and he was only 17, practically a kid. I couldn't have shown up with him anywhere, everybody would have looked at us. And I knew if anyone more than just us two knows, that everyone would know after some time."

"So you were actually ashamed of him.", Rose said with derogatory voice. She would've never thought that this was possible. "You know, Yoongi and I may have been younger at the time, but the real kid was you and not him. You're ridiculous."

An unpleasant silence settled over the two. Only the sounds of the others could be heard. Clatter of dishes, dull voices and occasionally a laugh. Rose struggled to look at him.

Not only had he let her down, but also broken the heart to her best friend. "Why did you start a relationship with him when you knew it wouldn't work? You should've just let him be."

"It's not that easy. I loved him, I had such a strong attraction to him as I've never felt before."

A laugh left Rose throat. How could he say he loved him when he treated him like that? "You didn't love him. If you had, then you wouldn't have cared about what others may think. You wouldn't have cheated on him and then just leave him with a broken heart."

"I was overwhelmed, I realized how serious our feelings got and I couldn't handle it. He was so good to me and I was scared."

Rose snorting told him that his explanation didn't help. "He loved you, Noah. He did with all his heart. He was probably the best guy you'll ever get and you destroyed it. You didn't deserve him."

"I know, but I never stopped thinking about him. I think I still-"

"Stop. Don't you dare say it. Stay away from Yoongi. He deserves to get over you and be happy with someone who can give him what you never could.
If you love him, you let him go."

Noah remained silent. He played with his fingers under the table and looked down with an ashamed expression. "If you don't have anything else to say, call her and tell her to transfer the money."
