TWO EUPHORIC HEARTS ✓

"We lie down each other
Sharing a sad story
There is no depressive ending
I will see you in this memory forever
Forever young."

Elianna isn't oblivious.

she's aware that Jungkook, the true love of her life did in fact, open a cafe with a library inside. the conversation they once had between shelves of stacked books motivated him but she wasn't there to see it happen.

she knows Two Euphoric Hearts belongs to him and despite the bubbling anger, she's proud. she's proud he chased a dream his mother would've wanted him to chase. he may have a degree but that's a backup. now he's a manager, friend and a human with no regrets. except... does he regret leaving her? does she still flicker in his mind like vintage photographs, to remind him of the past that he threw away?

she can see him now, as she looks through the front glass of the cafe he has made into a home.

Elianna sighs, hands digging into her pockets further as she looks through the window. it's open and she can hear and see her group of friends. they're all gathered around and she'd normally be there but since her and Jungkook's split, they've been careful not to spend time together.

Elianna watches with wistful eyes. emotions are shielded behind her forces of bronze gold. melancholy and yearning is how she feels when she watches Jungkook admiring their same group of friends, Taehyung smiling warmly, Elisa carrying her daughter, Hoseok trying to fix Jin's sunglasses, Jimin snuggling into Namjoon, Zelda writing and Talulah hugging Shira. none of them notice the missing friend.

there isn't just two euphoric hearts, there is so many.

a presence is felt beside Elianna and she knows exactly who it is.

Yoongi's side brushes against hers, chest cladded in a thick jacket as his eyes bore into the side of her face. she keeps her gaze forward, utterly distracted by the sight and noise of her friends. she doesn't feel jealous, she feels yearning yet sadly joyous.

Yoongi's eyes flicker away and they both stare at the friends. some from the past, some from the present and some family like. "we deserve to have that, don't we?" he questions.

it's not a question that needs an answer but Elianna thinks it does. "i guess we do. we just deserve to be whole as a group again." especially you, she thinks. Yoongi has suffered for years, he deserves his friends back, after all that he's done. she has hers.

Elianna still doesn't look at Yoongi beside her. she's too busy due to the sight of Jeon Jungkook. his dark hair is messy with curls under his hood that keeps falling off. he's trying to make sure his friends are okay by keeping an eye on the cups and plates. he's clearly closed the cafe so he can spend time with his lovable friends. "i hope Jungkook and Shira can forgive you again." she admits honestly and thoughtfully.

"what about the others?" Elianna now looks at her changed, silver haired friend. they've both come a long way and that's only because they forgave each other. despite their differences, they are reflections of each other. "they're still okay with you right?"

"i guess they are. they're more forgiving." Yoongi mentions.

"imagine how funny it would be if one of them turned around."

just as Elianna says that, Taehyung turns around.

"fuck!"

Yoongi pushes Elianna as they rush away from the cafe, black hair bouncing as their feet hit the ground. they run together and make sure they're far away so they don't get spotted. the two start to walk into the park nearby. it's a quiet morning as people are at work, busy with their lives, yet Yoongi and Elianna are in no rush to be anywhere.
