wine

a little side note:

i recommend listening to how can i love the heartbreak, you're the one i love by AKMU while reading this chapter

yoongi tapped his fingers nervously on to the wooden table while his eyes scanned his surroundings. he never felt this nervous since he released agust d and his heart was racing like crazy

realizing his glass was empty, yoongi raised his shaky hand to call the waiter. "another wine, please."

the waiter nodded and scurried off, disappearing into the kitchen.

"i didn't know you speak english," a figure dropped down onto the seat across from him, making him speechless

"yuna-"

yuna raised her hand to stop him from talking further, "before i deal with you, let me have a glass of a fine wine."

yoongi nodded and signalled the same waiter to bring an extra glass. seconds later, the two already had it on their table and followed by an awkward silence.

"how did you meet namjoon?"
"how are you friends with namjoon?"

words spluttered out of their mouths at the same time and their eyes met for the first time that day after so many years

yoongi broke his gaze from yuna and lowered his head, "he is my bestfriend and i met him in seoul after you left." he sighed while lifting his head back up again, "we made music together and the mixtape you heard, he perfected it until it was ready for release."

yuna brought the glass to her mouth while muttering inaudible words,
"it was already good at the first place." she took a long sip before putting it back down

yoongi waited patiently for her to answer his question but all she did was twirl the paper on her hands which he noticed was his letter.

"i received your letter," she timidly raised the paper for him to see. "and the shoebox as well."

yoongi's lips curved upwards, "i thought you might've worn your other shoes out so i got you another"

it was like dejavu all over again,

with him saying those exact same words like years ago

"you know, i've only worn those ballet shoes you gave me back then only when i'm performing on stage."

yuna smiled at the memory of her numerous solo performance in new york where she danced using the shoes yoongi gave her, "my friends call it as my aegi because i would get super sad if i had to change them into something more glittery."

"and the shoes has gave me so much memory and feelings. especially when i remembered that you practically rode your motorcycle through the rain just to give them."

yuna's eyes instantly found yoongi's almost easily. and it was all he needed to let go what he has been holding all this time

"i tried telling myself to hate you, to forget you and hell i even swore to treat you like a stranger if we ever cross paths,"

her breath got caught and yuna swallowed the lump on her throat, expecting the worst to come

"and i couldn't bring myself to do that, yuna. i loved you before and i still do.
with all my heart"

she showed him a genuine smile which yoongi yearned for, to see it once again.

"and you're the person i have ever loved with all my heart when i was 18 and it's so hard to hold back the thought of wanting to see you again no matter how hard i tried. and sometimes, my mind wandered off to you again." yuna blurted

she is quite surprised on herself, spilling the words that her consciousness tried to supress for the past few years to the one who broke her heart

and perhaps it was the wine who brought her courage up

"is he eating well? does he still forget to bring a scarf on the coldest day? is he doing well these past years?" yuna lets out a small laugh, remembering the times she asks to no one in particular about him

she noticed that yoongi's fingers started fiddling with the hem of his jacket, a habit of his that still lingers on her mind. "and it seems like you haven't changed a bit, thankfully." she added.

yuna never felt completely at ease before.

she is happy that she finally got to tell what weighs her down all this time to both her childhood friend and her ex-lover at the same time.

and as for yoongi, his heart was still pounding in joy since he saw the girl whose heart he had broken and just by having her this close brought his sanity back.

"i could say the same thing about you." yoongi smiled and took a sip of his long forgotten wine

little did they knew, those two were fixing each other and destroying the walls they had built in the past few years on this short encounter.
