Them (BTS au)

Chapter 75

LillyRose's POV

   "Wow, Tae, I thought some people could trust me, but I guess not."  I say.  We're all sitting at our table in the cafeteria.

Jimin's still sitting right next to me, but it doesn't matter.  I'm still ignoring him, and he's still ignoring me, and I'm still gonna throw shade.

Jimin's POV

What is she talking about?  Who is she talking about? 

Even though we're mad at each other right now, I still miss her.

Ugh, I hate this.

LillyRose's POV

Tae looks at me with wide eyes and shakes his head frantically.

Fine.  Don't help me throw hints at him.

.....

Yoongi's POV

I'm standing in the living room, watching the news, eating breakfast.

"Local woman dies from drug overdose.  Witnesses say that it was her first time trying heroine.  The drug use turned fatal.  The woman died this morning at 10:22AM...."

As the man talks, a picture of my mother's face shows on the screen, her name under it.

The bowl falls out of my hands.  It seems to do so in slow motion.

My back slowly slides down the wall until I'm on the floor, my knees to my chest, my arms wrapped around them, my head down, the tears finally coming.

My eomma...she's gone.  She's not coming back.

I'm all alone now.  I have no one.

I cry my heart out until I get up.  I wipe my tears away and go to my room.  I pack all my stuff into a duffle bag.  I can't stay here.

I walk outside of the house, standing in front of it, facing it, taking one last look at it.  I imagine burning it to flames, the conflagration giving me some sort of happiness, the yellow and orange flames high.

I have one stop before I get to where I'm going.

LillyRose's POV

"Wassup, Yoongi?  Why do you have that duffle bag?"  "My mom died."  He says, breaking down crying, his body leaning forward into me.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry."  I say, holding him tight.  He cries and sniffles, and I start stroking his hair.

"Everything's gonna be alright.  I've got you.  I'm here for you, Yoongi."  I coo then kiss him on the top of his head.

Yoongi's POV

"Yoongi, is something wrong?"  Hyun-jin asks me, standing in the doorway.  "Something happened,"  I choke.  "And I need to stay here."

"Of course.  Come on in."  He steps aside, and I step inside.  He closes the door.

Hyun-jin's eomma walks in.  "Oh, hi, Yoongi.  What brings you here?"  "Something happened, and now he needs a place to stay.  I told him he could stay here.  Is that ok?"  Hyun-jin says to her.

"Oh, sure.  No problem."  She says, waving it off.  She walks away. 

This is my life now.
