LOST

With both hands grabbing his hair, head spinning because of the alcohol and newly processed information, Yoongi was in a state of ultimate confusion for the last ten minutes. There was too much going on in his little brain, he didn't realize he was staring at the bartender the whole time. The bartender was worried about himself and looked at Seokjin for help. Jin looked at Yoongi and slightly shook him, "Hey, I know staying in US has it's effects on your behaviour but you can't probably change your preference Yoongi-ah." Yoongi woke up from his trance and quickly muttered an apology to the panicked bartender. Jin sensed Yoongi has to sought out his jumbled thoughts that's why he straightened himself getting his jackect ready to leave. He patted the pale guy's shoulder, "Don't give up on her yet." and left the bar.

Yoongi was still contemplating what should he do now, 'Leave her be because she probably moved on or maybe she still... ' his wagon of thoughts was disturbed by the same bartender. "Sir you almost lost this envelope. It fell from your jacket." he politely placed the letter on the counter. 'The letter. I never dared to open it.' Yoongi realized. Although tempted, he was scared to read it all along the past year, that it might pull him back to the girl who'll probably never want him back thus never reading it. He always carried the letter with him, as if a part of Areum was always there with him wherever he went. 'It's now or never' he thought and picked up the envelope, unfolding the letter with shaking hands.

The tear stained letter slipped from Yoongi's hands. Some of those stains were old and some were new addition from the clueless guy reading it. 'How could I be so foolish? Why could not I see through this?' his thoughts were eating him up. He wiped his tears and drank the rest of his drink, picked up the letter, folded it neatly keeping it back in his chest pocket. He paid his bill, took his jacket and ran out of the bar like his life depended on it.

The pale guy was panting now waiting for the door in front of him to open. He went to Areum and Min hee's place only to find she wasn't there. Min hee informed him that she didn't come back to home with her but went somewhere and Hoseok might be with her. He ran back to his car calling  Hoseok on his way. After he picked up Yoongi bombarded him with questions about Areum. "Why? Do you want to hurt her more? She went through a fair share of hardships, Yoongi." Hoseok said in a dead serious tone which was very different from the one his friend was used to. "I want to make things right Hoba, I really do. I know I was a jerk for ignoring her presence like that. I really am but I want to fix this. Please tell me where she is." Yoongi pleaded. "I can't let you hurt her again like that. She had to deal with a lot of damage and you just pretended like she never existed. I can't let you make her go through the same pain again." Hoseok was still not convinced but his heart ached for his best friend too.
"Do you love her Hoseok?" Yoongi asked as they fought over the same girl. "Yes you idiot. I love her!" Hoseok said without any hesitation. "I will love my 'friend' and will protect her from any problem." he said calmly completing his answer.
Yoongi sighed in relief his hand over his chest. "Look if you really want her just don't give up so easily this time but in case she rejects you, you should let her go happily. Do you understand?" Hoseok warned his bestfriend softly. Hoseok hung up when he didn't reply back. Yoongi still didn't know where Areum was. 'Maybe tonight's not the night.' he thought and drove off to the only place which could ease his pain now.

He was walking on sand bare foot as he reminisced their happy moments at the very same place. He was taking a stroll when he saw her.
'Am I hallucinating now?' he thought as he pinched his cheeks to confirm that the figure in front of him was indeed Areum.

An hour ago he was searching for this girl like a mad person and now that she's so close, not to mention at their special place, he couldn't move an inch. He was paralyzed although his mind was screaming her name wanting to run towards her.

Areum was looking at the waves when she felt someone's stare. Her hands were already in her purse by now holding onto a pepper spray ready to shoot when she turned sideways to look at the pervert. But turns out it was the grumpy asshole. Her grumpy kitty. They locked eyes under the moonlight, and that's when Yoongi started taking long and hurried strides towards the now shocked girl. He was running now and stopped when he was mere inches away. He swiftly pulled her towards him by her waist and leaned down to her face and placed his lips on hers.

Min hee was sitting on the couch and trying really hard to practice with her flute but she just couldn't get the tune right with the music sheets right in front of her. Yoongi's distracting words were ringing in her head.
"You're her best friend Min hee, do you think she'll accept me now?" Yoongi asked eagerly waiting for her answer.
"Honestly, I don't know. She kept the pain to herself no matter how desperately I tried to share it. " Min hee sighed helplessly.
Yoongi hung his head low for a moment before raising it with a changed expression, "I don't care. I'll get her back this time. I'll fight for my love if I have to but I won't back down. I won't give up" He said and left, running to his car making a call on his way.

"He's so persistent even after a year. He still wants Areum after all this time. He is determined to get her back knowing she might turn him down. He is being brave for the girl he loves so much. If only I had the courage to do so.
If only I didn't have to run away from the boy I could never forget about. Nun-eul gamgo ajig yeogi seo iss-eo ( I close my eyes and I'm still standing here)."

Min sulked holding back her tears.
