It Was Always You

~ 5 ~

~ Yoongi's POV ~

I laid there unable to sleep, still seething with rage. How could he do that to Noona?  I mean, I always knew he was a prick by the way he gave her backhanded compliments or put her down in things he said, but he really took it this far? Did he really not realize what a gem he had found in her?  She bent over backwards so many times to make him happy. She put up with all of his shit and rarely stuck up for herself, and this is how he repaid her??  I could feel a headache coming on from the absolute hatred I had coursing through me.  I shouldn't have stopped punching him.   As I laid there envisioning all of the vile things I could do to him, my phone went off, drawing my attention away.  I hadn't dared to look through the messages from Jisoo I knew were waiting, but I grabbed my phone to see who texted.

MochiJimin: Hey, where did you guys take off to? Is everything ok?

Yoongi: Long story...caught Jisoo and Minho fucking at the party so we got the hell out of there.

MochiJimin: WHAT?! Where are you? I'm coming over.

Yoongi: I'm at Noona's. I'm gonna have to stay here for the meantime.  Please, can this wait until tomorrow? She got quiet so I think she finally fell asleep.

MochiJimin: Yeah it is late, I'm sorry.

Yoongi: It is. I'm gonna go to sleep now but if you wind up telling Tae, please tell him I'm taking care of her and to wait until tomorrow to reach out.  This is going to be really hard on her and she needs her rest.

MochiJimin: Of course.  But Yoongi, please take of yourself too, ok?  I love you

Yoongi: I love you too Jimin.  Goodnight.

I plopped my phone down beside my head and let out a hard breath.  I really didn't think I would be getting any sleep tonight.  After several more minutes passed by, I heard something that broke my heart.   I could hear Noona in her room, sobbing uncontrollably.  I knew that she was in pain and I would do anything to take it away.  I slipped from the bed and stumbled my way across the hall in the darkness as I opened the cracked door to her room.  I saw her curled on her side, facing away from the door, her back shaking with sobs.  I walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers, slipping in behind her and and wrapping my arm over her, pulling her into me.  Her sobs shook her body against my chest as I leaned my head against the top of hers, kissing the top of her head.

"Shhhhh, don't cry Noona.  He isn't worth your tears.  You have shed more tears than that bastard deserves." I said in a soft voice as I heard her taking in a shuddering breath.  She spun around to face me, the moonlight coming through the window reflecting off of her skin, illuminating the tears streaked down her face.

"Oh Yoongi.  I'm just so...so...I feel so foolish.  How could I not have seen what you and Tae tried to tell me for so long?" She sobbed, clinging to my t-shirt.  I wiped the tears off of her face as I gave her a soft smile.

"You aren't foolish, don't say that Noona.  You have a big heart, and you loved him.  You focused on the good instead of the bad things, which is what you are supposed to do in a relationship. So don't you dare blame yourself for this, not one bit.   You were exactly what you were supposed to be for him, and he didn't appreciate what a special and wonderful person you are." I said in a soothing voice as he stared up at me, her chin wobbling slightly. 

"I can't believe I wasted all this time on him, all these years just gone!  And now I have to start all over, and I'm back to being all alone." she sniffled, wiping a tear before it could fall.

"You aren't alone, and you will never be alone.  Not if I have anything to say about it." I said with a sad smile.  She gave me a wobbly smile before curling up in my chest as I rubbed her back, resting my head back atop hers.
