Life Is Ecstacy - Yoongi FF

Talk About It

It's been a week now, and Jungkook and I are back on meme sharing basis, which is a huge relief.
Yoongi, however seems to be getting more tired and snarky, as if it's getting harder for him to be nice as the days go by...

Every time he comes home, he walks up to me, kissing me tiredly, short. Whenever I ask him about his day, it's negative. He seems to be having trouble with one of his co-workers but he won't go into specifics.
I know he doesn't want me to worry, but it's getting harder not to. I feel like I'm constantly having to lift his mood and I don't know for how much longer I can get blown off.

When he comes to pick me up that day, he barely walks through the door, more just standing at the door, his eyes only slightly open, fluttering shut every so often.
I walk up to and tap his shoulder playfully to wake him up, greeting as happily as I can, but once again, he grumbles in response, not really speaking.

He turns his back to walk to the car and I lower my head, downtrodden.
Not wanting us to crash, I hold my hands out for the keys.
He tries to smile at me when he hands them over, but it's forced.

The drive is silent as he sleeps, my worry becoming sickening.
I know I have to do something, I can't just let him slip into this bad attitude and stay there, he saved me, now it's my turn to help him...

We get home and he opens his eyes without me having to tap him, he gets out of the car groggily and walks to the apartment, dragging his bag along with him sluggishly.
I sigh and follow him, watching as he drops his bag haphazardly on the ground next to the couch before making a b-line for the shower.

I sigh again before going into our bedroom and laying down on my side, almost off the side.
I think about what to do to help him. He's not really talking to me and I don't know what to ask him... It's all too much. I need to call someone.

I pick up my phone and dial up the most responsible and patient person I know...
"Hello?"

"Hey, Namjoon... it's me.... I need your help..."
I'm a little bit nervous to talk to him. He always feels like he has his life together and everything is in check - save for how clumsy he is - and I don't want him thinking I'm incompetent.

"Sure, Y/n, anything. What's up?"
He sounds slightly worried and fully caring and I sigh again.
"It's Yoongi... He's been acting cold lately and I don't know why... He's not talking to me about it and every time I ask it's always about some employee.. I know it's not your fault or your problem, but it's scaring me..."

I hear his muffled sigh over the phone and him mumble something I can't really pick up before coming back to the phone.
"Y/n, I'm going to be honest with you as long as you promise not to get worried or anxious..."

I nod before realising he can't see me.
"You have my word, just... Please help me..."
I sound so pathetic and defeated bit I don't care, I just want Yoongi to smile at me again. I want to see him happy...
I promised myself I'd keep him happy...

"Well..."
I hear Namjoon start, carefully as if picking the best way to say this.
I don't interrupt, I just listen.
"Yoongi used to have a... special relationship... with one of the workers here... It ended a while ago but it seems she's not letting him go. I've noticed and tried to keep them as far apart as I can - per his request and my company's best interest - but I couldn't change anything with the meetings that have been happening lately..."

I frown. I know Yoongi wouldn't cheat on me, and I doubt he ever dated her, like, feelings and love... at least... he didn't give me that impression... But I know he wouldn't go behind my back like that without a second thought, it's just not what he does...
It's the thought of that woman - any woman, for that matter - throwing themselves on Yoongi...
It makes me mad...
