Finding you [MYG]✔️

22. Awake

YOONGI'S P.O.V:

Gently, I peel back the white paper of a bandaid, my tongue sticking out from the corner of my mouth in concentration.

I look up to see a little girl, roughly rubbing her eyes. Her mouth is wide open as she sobs.
The sight breaks my heart.

"Y/N-ah, I'm sorry I came late." I pout, voice breaking. It seems I too am on the verge of breaking down.

"It's okay." She cutely pouts, trying to stop herself from crying more.
She wipes her nose with a sleeve and flashes me a wobbly smile.

"You protected me from Bongsoo. You really are my knight in shining armour!" She giggles.

With a frown I carefully place the bandage over her scraped knee.
"But she hurt you again..."

The girl giggles and strokes my messy fringe that almost reaches my eyes.
"Min Yoongi, no matter how much she hurts me, I know you'll be there to patch me up again."
She smiles brighter this time. An angelic smile that puts the sun to shame.

My heart feels fuzzy as she throws her small arms around me and giggles into my neck.
"Thank you Yoongi..."

•••

We're a little taller, a whole lot sadder.

Her bottom lip quivers as she kicks the mud under the bench we're sitting on.

"Y/N-ah, do you want to talk about it some more?" I ask, scooting closer to her and laying an arm across her hunched over shoulders.

"All I've been doing with Jin is talking about it. Crying and talking and crying again." She whispers.
Even though I'm young, I know not to push her. Right now, even a small gust of wind can blow her astray.

Instead, I bring my other arm up to wrap her in a hug.
She sniffles before breaking down, clutching my school jumper in her small but strong fists.

"Eomma..." she cries, nuzzling further into the crook of my neck.

I stroke her back and sigh.
"Let it out Y/N. I'm here for you."

•••

Taller, sadder, madder.
My face contorts into childish anger.
Y/N tries to reach for my arm but I pull it away harshly.

Her eyes water as she takes an uncertain step towards me.
"I'm sorry Yoongi. My dad needs to transfer. I have no other choice."

"Stay in my house! We have a spare room!" I argue nonsensically but she shakes her head.

"Yoongi you know I can't. I can't leave Jin too."

It's like a slap in the face to hear her say that.
"What about me? You're leaving me..." I mumble, tears dripping down my cheek.

"I- I didn't mean that I want to leave you... but I have no choice Yoongi. You know how my dad is."

I nibble at the bottom of my lip. The thought of my best friend leaving me all alone... it's overwhelming.

"I h-hate you Kim Y/N."

•••

My eyes fly open as I gasp sharply. The bright white light pounds down on me from above.
Am I dead?

Then, Namjoons relieved face comes into view.

"Thank god you're awake!" He cries, hugging me.

With a huff, I push myself up on the bed and sit back against the pillow.
"What happened?" I ask when Namjoon pulls away.
There's needles in my arms, wires leading up to machines. I'm in a hospital room.

"You fainted in the school office. Do you remember?" He frowns.
Namjoon looks tired. His under eyes are dark and his eyebrows are droopy.
How long was I here for?

"I r-remember..." I mumble.

"You scared me so much!" He groans, sitting back on the chair besides the bed.
"I didn't know what to do when you started-... they said it was a seizure. I called the ambulance just in time..."

"It's because I remembered something about my past... I realised that Choi Ara is actually Choi Ara Bongsoo. The girl who bullied my childhood best friend."
Namjoon widens his eyes at me.

"Stop! Don't try to remember anything else! You might have another seizure." He exclaims.

I smile and shake my head.
"I think I'm safe for now because... I remember everything. I remember Y/N."

Namjoon smacks a hand across his gaping mouth.

"No way!"
His voice comes out as a mumble, muffled behind his hand.
I roll my eyes and peel his hand off his mouth.

"Although I feel like I've just been hit by a truck- everything feels so right. Like everything is in its rightful place." I smile.
"... like I've found a missing part of me." I mumble the last part but Namjoons canine hearing catches it.

"So I guess you remember your promise to her too then?" He smirks playfully.
This time, I'm the one to widen my eyes and gasp.

"H-how do you...?"

"Y/N confided in me. She wanted to play your song in the music competition to get you to remember her as well..."

"She remembers our song..." my eyes glaze over with warmth and longing.
"Wait our song... Ara-" I shake my head before correcting myself "-Bongsoo played it. That's why I thought she was Y/N."

"She played the song...? That's impossible because Y/N worked hard to complete it. I even helped her with a few lyrics... unless..."

"She stole Y/N's journal. That's how she knew everything..." I growl, anger rising.
"She was even planning to 'expose' Y/N for stealing 'her' song when it's Y/N's turn in the competition." I scoff.

"... shit." Namjoon gasps, looking at his wristwatch.
"The competitions probably started already."

"Wait what?! I was here for a whole day?" I exlcaim before pulling out the needles.

"W-what are you doing? -Yoongi stop that!" Namjoon growls, watching me shuffle off the bed and get up.

"I need to stop Ara. Let's go."

Namjoon rolls his eyes and grabs my arm.
"Are you planning on running there?" He shakes his head.

"While I go get you discharged from the reception, ask a nurse if you can borrow their phone to call a cab." He sighs and takes out two phone from his pocket. One of which completely smashed.
"Your battery died and my phone... well it fell down a flight of stairs in school when I was rushing to get in the ambulance with you."

Well... can't say I'm surprised.

"Alright. We better hurry up, god knows what Bongsoo is up to right now."
