149. New Year

━━━━━━♡♥♡━━━━━

Christmas break had been and gone, you'd been back at work for two days and actively managed to avoid seeing Jungkook; you don't know how, or even why but at least it stopped your heart racing and breaking for some of the day.

But today is different, New Year's Eve, presenting its own impossible situation for you in the style of having to spend time with the guys!

It's not that you don't want to, of course you do! But the thought of seeing Jungkook actually sends a shiver through you; you want him, you still do but you know you shouldn't! It hurts and you know he's hurting too, you haven't uttered a word or looked him in the eye since he said goodnight to you over the phone on Christmas Day.

"Hey Y/N? You've got all the pass sheets for check in at the tv studio yeah?" Beom calls with a smile as you whip your head around from the small table full of water in the chill out room.

You'd come here to find the guys, only to find they're not actually in here.

"Yeah, yeah I've got them all, I actually came here to find the guys but..." you wave your hand around the empty room.

"Yeah I found them all coming out of the recording studio, they're out by the cars, we're just waiting for you now" he smiles and you smile back shyly wanting the ground to swallow you so that you don't have to go and face them all!

You're not sure whether the others know that you and Jungkook are no longer together, 'on a break' but you can imagine that unless Jungkook is a really good actor and liar, that they'll have all worked something out anyway.

"Cool, let's go" you throw him a fake smile as you pick up your handbag containing all the pass sheets Beom was talking about and then wander past him without any eye contact at all.

The journey to the tv studio is relatively drama and stress free as you jump in one of the front seats of the first awaiting car, knowing Jungkook had gone in the second one. It wasn't until the car was almost pulling up that Yoongi stirred at the opposite side to you and stared. Staring right at you.

"Y/N?"

His voice brings you back into reality and panics you instantly; your heart beat banging.

"Yeah?" You answer as normal as you can.

"Can I just talk to you after the others have got out? I... I just wanted a word" Yoongi's voice is clear but empty of any emotions.

"O... oh of course, no worries"

But you are worried!

"So..." Yoongi starts the moment there's only you and him left in the car, even the driver has escaped, "...I can't help but notice you look... stressed? Did something happen over Christmas? Didn't you go home?"

His face looks concerned but you're wishing he rather wasn't asking.

"I... I'm fine thanks, but tired... yeah I went home it was good..." you think back to the way Jungkook called you Christmas night and your heart broke all over again, "... it was okay... don't worry about me Yoongi, seriously I'll be alright"

He nods slowly, "so... Jungkook's not been right... he's withdrawn and won't talk to any of us properly, it's not like him, is he okay?"

You blink, "sh... shouldn't you be asking him that?"

You don't want to answer that!

"He won't talk to us... we're just worried... and then when I saw you looking tired too I thought..."
