Chapter 7: Chapter 7
Jimin didn't say a word after I broke the news to him. He knew this changed everything. For both of us. He rubbed my back as Seokjin made his way into the car. Seokjin could read the mood well and didn't say a word for a while either. When we were close to my place, Seokjin turned to me and asked if there was anything he could do to help. I smiled a bit and shook my head. "No. But thank you. I just have to get through this on my own now I guess." Jimin shook his head. "No matter what happens, you're family to bangtan now. We will be here for you. You don't have to face this alone." I pressed my lips together thinly because I wasn't so sure about that, but he seemed so earnest I didn't have the heart to disagree with him right now.
The driver pulled onto my street and let me out close to my house. I thanked everyone and told them that I just needed to be alone for now. They didn't look convinced but knew that they had to get back before they all got into trouble. I waved to them and went inside and curled up on the couch and started crying again. How had things gotten this messed up? Yoongi was stubborn, once he thought one thing, he didn't change his mind often. I didn't know it at the time, but Yoongi had always been jealous of my friendship with Jimin. I sometimes forget how insecure he was at times. He too battled mental demons. He thought he wasn't good enough.
Namjoon texted me after a while and told me that Yoongi had been told about the situation, but that he still wasn't happy. He apologized that he couldn't do more right now, but promised he would keep trying for my sake. He went on to tell me that this would all blow over and that it would be ok. He didn't know what Yoongi was battling either and the fact that Jimin had come with me and not Yoongi had made things even worse. I thanked Namjoon and put my phone on vibrate for a while. During this time, Yoongi was seriously contemplating everything. When he made up his mind he texted me.
I dropped my phone after reading that text. "Let's not see each other for a while. You can be Jimin's assistant from now on. Don't even bother responding, I'm changing my number now. Take care of yourself." My phone had a very good case and screen protector but it still cracked. I picked my phone up and tried calling Yoongi, but his phone went straight to voicemail. I tried calling 4 more times, but the same thing happened. What the hell was I going to do now? It wasn't Jimin's fault, but I didn't even want to be around him at this particular time.
I decided to take my new medicines and supplements and then made some sleepytime tea so I could sleep. I wanted to sleep forever. Was it wrong that I hoped I never woke up? I was too stunned to even cry at this point….or maybe I was all out of tears. I wasn't really sure at this point. I was completely out of it. Everything was foggy as if I were in some kind of cloud. The tea kettle whistling brought me back to the present and I slowly made my way over to the stove and turned it off. I grabbed a cup from the back of my cabinet that I never used. Something plain that had nothing to do with Yoongi. Most of my stuff was BTS themed or something Yoongi had bought for me as a gift. This was just a black porcelain cup. I poured the tea and made it to my liking.
It didn't take long until I was too sleepy to function. I fell asleep on the couch with the TV on. I stared at my phone to see that I had a ton of missed calls and text messages from various friends. Only a few people know about Yoongi and I being together, but everyone knew how I felt about him. At least as a fan. I wondered what was going on. I read the most recent text from Jimin. "Are you ok?! Text me back!" I didn't want to talk to him right now. Suddenly I heard Yoongi's name coming out from the television. I looked up and stared in horror at the headlines. "Min Yoongi and Song Yun Hee are now dating!" A newscaster was talking about how they were childhood friends and that they were thought to have been dating for quite some time now. An interviewer was with Yun Hee and she was smiling brightly and wearing a ring on her ring finger. "No no, not officially engaged, but I'm sure that's not far off. We are very happy to officially come out and not have to hide our love anymore." I turned off the tv and just sat there and stared at the floor. I pinched myself to see if I was awake. It hurt. I definitely wasn't still asleep. What was even happening? Yesterday he was supposedly saying he didn't want to be with her. Maybe he had been talking about me after all.
My phone went off again and I stared at it as my best friend group were spamming our group chat. We called each other squam. A combination of squad and fam. I opened up the group chat. They all saw that I was online and they were all asking what had happened. I messaged them what had happened and they were in shock as well. I left out the part about the Dr visit because I didn't want to worry them any more than they already were at this point.
I honestly had no idea what I was going to do at this point. Yoongi had helped me with everything up until this point. I had some money saved, but it wasn't like I couldn't work. Plus I needed health insurance now more than ever. I'm sure Jimin would help me out, but I would feel pretty bad about it. I started getting a horrible migraine from all the stress. I knew I needed to eat, but I really didn't feel like it. Most of my friends had kids and couldn't just fly out to be with me. Though Yoongi had surprised me and flown a few of them out to visit me a couple times when I was home sick.
I wished one of them could come out and be with me now. Maybe I'd call for my sister, Layla. I was sure she would come to me in my time of need. She was currently in Japan but I'm sure she could take some time off and come help me out while I figured things out. I called my sister and she answered sleepily. "Hello?" I told her what had happened and before I could ask if she would come, she told me she was packing her stuff and would be there as soon as she could be. I was grateful. I hung up the phone and messaged my group chat that my sister was coming to stay with me and they were all relieved.
Jimin kept texting and calling me. I really didn't want to talk to him, but I didn't want him to worry either. "He's made his mind up. It's fine. My sister is coming to stay with me...don't worry about me." I texted him. He replied immediately and called my bullshit. He also called me out on my health issues and said that I needed to tell Yoongi myself. I argued with him for a while until he had to go. He finally let me be and promised he'd swing by my place after practice to make sure I was eating and taking care of myself.
