(Back to your P.O.V):

"Pabo, you're always forgetting things." Namjoon rolls his eyes, nudging me with his elbow.

"You could have reminded me I left my phone in the music room." I grumble, folding my arms with a pout.

"You're blaming me?!" Namjoon chuckles making me laugh.
Sticking my tongue out at him, I turn the handle and open the door of the music room... my smile instantly falls at what I see.

Standing in front of the piano is Ara and Yoongi... kissing.

Something inside of me breaks. Yoongi... he liked Ara all along?

When he hears my gasp, he turns my way, surprised.
"Y/N..." he mumbles, taking a step towards me but Ara grabs his hand and smiles at him.

"That kiss was amazing." She breathes as if she's on cloud nine. She turns to me with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Thanks for ruining the moment." She giggles innocently.

"S-sorry..." I stammer, completely caught off guard. There's a rock growing in my throat. It makes it hard to talk, to breathe. I feel myself holding back tears as I try to look un-phased by the two of them.
Yoongi furrows his eyebrows, looking at his wrist in Ara's grasp. He's not shaking her off like he usually does to Sunhee... he must really like her.

"I left my phone in here..."
I walk towards the shelf where I kept it and find it still sitting there. With my heart hammering against my ribcage, I take my phone and walk back to Namjoon who's waiting by the door.

"So are you two...?" He asks Yoongi and Ara.
Somehow, my gaze meets Yoongi's and I'm stuck in place.
His eyes look lost, slightly regretful.
Maybe he regrets not locking the music room door?

"Yes we are. He promised awhile ago." Ara grins, wrapping her arms around Yoongi's arm and hugging it tight.
Awhile ago? He's liked her for a long time then...

Mustering up a smile, even though it kills me inside, I say "congratulations you two."
Ara stops smiling at me and nods.
Yoongi frowns and hesitantly nods too.

"Well since you've got what you came here for, you can leave." Ara smiles sweetly.
"See you around Y/N."

"S-sure..." I mumble, walking out of the room with Namjoon, leaving Yoongi behind to continue their... 'moment'.

"What the hell happened?!" Namjoon exclaims in a hushed voice as soon as we've gone a good distance from the door.

"Ever since we met her she's been giving me weird vibes... all this time, she was trying to steal your man!"

I shake my head and try not to cry.
"Namjoon didn't you hear her? She said he made that promise ages ago.  He made it. He likes her."

"But..." Namjoon trails off, finding the situation just as confusing as I do.

"Let's just head to class." I sigh.

A couple of days go by but it feels much longer. So much has changed in just so little time.
Ara eats lunch with us now too. She sits beside Yoongi, hands interlocked with him and he doesn't budge.
They're attached by the hip.
He doesn't mind. Of course he wouldn't, he must like her very much.

But something is strange. He used to always stare at me, it often made me uncomfortable.
Now...
He doesn't spare me a glance.
Yoongi just eats his food, head down. Sometimes he'd laugh along to something the boys say, other times he doesn't even make a noise.

Why does he do that? What's changed? I feel like we've taken so many steps back. We were at least friends before, and acquaintances before that, but now I feel like we're nothing more than strangers. Back to square one.

"Y/N, are you ready for the competition?" Hoseok asks me.

"Oh my god! It's so soon!" Ara gushes, cutting me off before I can even open my mouth to reply.
She clings herself closer to Yoongi who smiles meekly at her.

"Baby can you believe it?! I've forgotten all about it." She exclaims over dramatically.
What happened to the shy girl who bumped into me that day? She's changed so much too.

I see the boys rolls their eyes. They don't really like her. They think she's an even more obnoxious version of Sunhee but... I want to give her the benefit of the doubt. Yoongi and her seem happy together, he seems to like her more than Sunhee anyway.

"Mmhm." Yoongi grunts, biting into a strawberry.
Ara opens her mouth wide and waits for him to put one in her mouth.

"Does she not have hands? Leech..." Taehyung mumbles under his breath, quiet enough to not be heard by Ara.
Jimin holds in laugh as I flick Taehyung on the knee, scolding him with my eyes.

Yoongi pops a strawberry into Aras mouth and she chews it happily.
Honestly, it hurts to see them together.
I keep telling myself it doesn't matter. I'm friends with Yoongi and nothing more... but sometimes... I just feel....

"You didn't answer me, how's your piece going?" Hoseok asks again, looking at me and addressing me only.

"I'm ready. Ready as I'll ever be." I shrug.

"You're ready?" Ara asks, a weird look in her eyes.
"You're definitely taking part in the competition?"

I cock an eyebrow at her and nod.
"Yeah... why wouldn't I be?"

Ara quickly shakes her head.
"Oh nothing, I... can't wait to hear it."
