"Good morning," she said as she walked into the kitchen. Walking up behind him as he prepared some food she wrapped her arms around him.

Pressing her face against his back and taking in the warm. Her ears caught the continuous buzz of rain outside, it was lighter this time around. "The rain has lifted."

She hummed in agreement at his words, she missed it. Missed him so much.

Waking up to see him cooking, it was even more special when she had learnt that Yoongi hardly ever cooked. For himself, let alone people. Yet he did so for her, without fail, whenever she spent the night.

It felt good.

"Eunhye, I need to dish up." She froze up noticing that he used her government name.

Reluctantly her arms loosened from around him and she turned to the sink and washed her hands. He was cold she realised as he moved around.

She grabbed some glasses filling them with juice from the fridge and joining him on the other side of the island. "Thank you."

She smiled and slid over his drink and stared down at her options. "Yoongi... Why do you call me Eunhye?"

She waited for him to swallow.

"It is your name, no?"

It felt as if all that had transpired the night before was for nothing. Nothing at all, "I thought we had reached an understanding." she muttered before taking her first spoonful.

"We did, and then we had an affair." he took more into his mouth.

"Yoongi... You mean you regret what happened last night."

"No. I don't regret last night." he took the glass and took a sip. She copied him feeling her mouth go dry. "But I... I regret many things, at the very top of that list is meeting you."

Her breath caught in her throat, it tightened and the her eyes burnt with tears. "Had I not met you, you wouldn't have ignored your father and we wouldn't be stuck like this." She watched as his lips pulled into a thoughtful pout. His eyes thinned thoughtfully.

"I loved you more than you'll ever know, I was stupid. I'm still stupid." She said to him, wanting him to understand. The weight of the situation weighing on her. This was their last meal wasn't it?

Bada felt her distress she decides, feeling him at her feet she ran her foot along him fur. This was the break up they deserved, this was how it was supposed to be. Not the happazard stunt she had pulled that afternoon.

"Ah, this is too much. Your love for me is something I will always remember, October. But you should understand, I don't wish to taint the name of my first love."

She shut eyes as the tears started falling. Eunhye couldn't fight him, she understood the power of memory and association.

"I am sorry you got to meet me."
